119 A REWARD PART 7 (1/2)

Xue Lin sent Ge Chen to their home and then drove to the place where Puja asked her to come. She was feeling somewhat relieved for not having to face her husband right now. When she arrived at the destination, she noticed that it was a bar. It was a little far from her house and the street was a bit dark and quiet.

Xue Lin looked around before parking the car. She got out and locked the door. Two security guards were standing on the doorway. They saw her ID card and let her go inside. She cautiously went into the bar and her eyes were blinded for a moment. Inside the bar, it was completely different from the outside.

Once her eyes adjusted to the light inside, she could finally take it all in. The bar was extravagantly luxurious. It was quite a spacious room. There was a red carpet on the floor and the wall was deep red. The pillars were of golden color and the chandeliers were glittering from the ceiling. The wall decorations included the oil paintings of some famous artists. There were sculptures as the floor decoration. Xue Lin recognized a few of them since they were imitations.

The whole place was divided into two sides. The left side was for drinking and the right side was for dancing and singing. Highly professional performers were hired. One of them was showing magic to entertain the members. Only high-class members could afford to be in a place like this.

Suddenly Xue Lin saw someone raising a hand and waving at her. She instantly recognized the person and walked closer. ”You almost made me nervous. Why are you here?”

Puja was wearing an elegant red mermaid gown. She smiled and replied, ”I owe this bar. Sit here. I'll order something for you.”

”Thank you but give me something that has less alcohol. I'll have to drive.” Xue Lin sat down and looked at the performance on stage. ”Is this your idea? This place is exceptional. I've never seen a bar like this.”

Puja chuckled. ”I wonder how many bars you know.”

”I have only been to one bar in Paris and usually I go to pubs with colleagues and classmates.” Xue Lin didn't mention that her husband took her to the bars sometimes.

Puja sipped her drink and licked her lips. She said, ”You have never shared anything about your husband. What kind of person is he? Is he handsome and caring?”

'Did she call me to interrogate me about my husband?' Xue Lin pondered. She simply replied, ”He is someone I needed in my life.” She glanced at her schoolmate and asked, ”Why did you call me for? I thought it's urgent.”

Puja looked at her while a smile, ”What? Can't I call my friend if it's not urgent?”

Xue Lin shrugged. ”You could have said, I'm lonely, so give me some company.” She got her drink and thanked the bartender.

”But you would have still come to me either way. Xiao Lin, you are a good person.” Puja smiled and shook her head. She hung her head and played with her fingers.

'She is getting drunk.' Xue Lin thought. She took a glance at Puja and softly asked, ”Did something happen Puja?”

Puja raised her head and looked at her in surprise. ”What do you mean?”

Xue Lin commented, ”You don't look well.”
