The staff brought us some drinks and beer, and the four of us spent our time chatting and drinking while we waited for the others to arrive.
I asked Robben, "How have you been spending your days in Beijing?"
He exhaled heavily, with a cigarette in his mouth, and said with some weariness, "Busy."
Robben is a native of Beijing, a real Beijing local, and he is so busy that he is reluctant to waste time talking.
CC then asked Violetta, "And you? You must be busy too, I've seen you on TV several times, following your director on entertainment programs to promote the new drama about to start airing!"
Violetta nodded and said, "Yes, there's another interview program to be recorded the day after tomorrow, so I can't stay in Suzhou for a few days. Anyway, I won't have any free time this year, I'll have to join the crew of my second drama after the New Year!"
CC sighed and said, "After your first drama airs nationwide, your reputation as a 'big shot' will truly be well-deserved!"
Violetta just smiled, took a sip of her beer, and then fell silent. This silence amplified the changes in her even more strongly.
A moment later, Harlan, Brittany, and Natalie arrived at the bar first and greeted us. Among those present, except for Brittany and Violetta, who were meeting for the first time, everyone else knew each other well, so the two of them looked at each other.
In the end, CC introduced them to each other, of course, as her friends, but not involving me.
Violetta smiled at Brittany and said, "So you're Brittany, I've heard your name for almost two years."
Brittany immediately looked at me and asked Violetta, 'What does that mean?"
"To be precise, Lucas has missed you for two years... you're very pretty!' said Violetta.
At this moment, I really am glad that Robert is not here, otherwise Violetta's words will inevitably cause misunderstandings. At this time, CC once again came to the rescue, she asked Harlan and the others to sit down and asked the waiter to bring some drinks.
After Brittany sat down, Violetta took out a bank card from her bag and handed it to her, saying, "This bar is mine, so the 500,000 yuan you lent to Lucas was actually lent to me. This card has 510,000 yuan on it, including the interest, to repay you...thank you for your generosity at the time."
I looked at Violetta in shock. That day, I just said I borrowed it from a friend without specifying who, but how did she know that friend was Brittany? Or was it just pure speculation?
Harlan and Natalie exchanged glances, because they had no idea that Brittany had lent me 500,000 yuan. The other day, when we were having dinner together, Robert asked Brittany if she had any spare money to lend me, and Brittany said firmly that she didn't. At this time, I really have to once again be grateful that Robert wasn't there.
Brittany stared at Violetta with a complicated look for a long time, but she didn't take the bank card. She said, "I lent this money to Lucas, and it should be repaid by him. Besides, I lent it to him as a friend, so there's no need to mention anything about interest."
The atmosphere was a little awkward because of Brittany's refusal. To relieve the awkwardness, I took the bank card from Violetta's hand and said to Brittany, "You can leave me the card number later, and I will transfer the money to your account tomorrow."
Brittany nodded, and the awkwardness caused by the repayment of the money was temporarily put aside. But I knew that when Renee came later, this scene might repeat itself.
