The bright streetlights, colorful neon lights, and dazzling giant billboards made the deep night colorful and enchanting.
Lily Turner was in such a foul mood that she could not appreciate the beautiful street scene. She walked slowly on the bustling sidewalk, feeling weighed down by her troubles and unable to breathe.
She thought that talking about it would make her feel better, but she was wrong. Her mood not only didn't improve but became even heavier.
The dazzling lights, the brilliant signs, the people coming and going, so lively, Lily followed the dazzling lights with her eyes.
The night is so beautiful!
Three big characters shining with red lights instantly caught her eye.
Lily Turner spun around and walked towards the bar. She hesitated at the entrance but eventually went inside. The hall was crowded and noisy, and fearing being recognized, she found a private room to sit in, ordered a bottle of vodka from the waiter, and started drinking alone.
Because she was in a bad mood, she drank several glasses in a row. It wasn't until she felt dizzy that she put her glass on the table, leaned back, and closed her eyes on the sofa.
Whether due to tiredness or the alcohol's effects, not long after leaning on the sofa, Lily drifted off to sleep.
Bam!
The loud sound of the door opening woke Lily from her sleep. She rubbed her blurry eyes and was about to sit up when she suddenly saw a big round figure walking towards her. Before she could see clearly who it was, the figure had already come up to her.
"Hey, pretty lady! Are you alone? I'm alone too. Why don't we keep each other company?"
The man who had just walked over sat down next to Lily rather presumptuously. Due to his sudden closeness, Lily caught a strong whiff of alcohol that made her cough, "Cough... go away!"
She raised her hand to push the man sitting next to her, intending to move aside, but the man suddenly reached out and grabbed her right hand.
"Pretty lady! Could you really let me go?"
The man's eyes luridly glanced at Lily's chest, while his free hand reached for her fair long leg.
Just as that hand reached over, Lily quickly slapped it away, "I'm telling you, you better behave. My boyfriend went to the bathroom, he'll be back any minute."
Where on earth did this man come from? How did he know she was alone?
Lily rubbed her fuzzy head, trying to calm herself. There was a significant physical difference between her and the man beside her, force would definitely not work. She could only outwit him.
"Boyfriend? Pretty lady, don't try to fool me. I watched the door for a long time earlier, and there was no man, it was just you sleeping alone."
Earlier, when passing by the private room door, the man casually glanced through the gap of the unclosed door out of curiosity, and the scene inside nearly made him have a nosebleed.
Hearing this, Lily was suddenly startled. She could no longer bother to play along with the man. Raising her foot, she stomped down hard on the man's foot, her thin heel piercing firmly into it.
"Ah!"
The sudden pain from his foot made the man scream. Seizing the distraction, Lily shoved the man away, got up, and ran out of the private room.
