BossNovelChapter 1860
The thought cast a shadow over the excitement she had been feeling, and the idea of stepping inside the bar to
celebrate suddenly seemed less appealing.
Still, she had already paid for the cab to get here.
Besides, she wasnt working here anymore; she was here to unwind.
She hesitated, then took a breath and pushed open the door to go inside with Milly.
The familiar dim lights and thumping music greeted her.
Her eyes quickly found a few of her former colleagues.
They were lounging near the bar.
When their eyes found Marlowe, they waved with exaggerated enthusiasm.
Marlowe! Long tno see! Marlowe offered a curt nod, her smile tight. The last tshe had worked here,
these scolleagues had made her shifts miserable-stealing sales from under her nose and dumping their
tasks on her.
She didnt like any of them.
Unperturbed by Marlowes lukewarm reaction, the group of people approached her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSo, Marlowe, youve found yourself a rich boyfriend now, huh? Dont forget about us now that you are living well.
When are you going to treat us to a meal? You vanished so suddenly last time; we thought youd left us behind
for good! Marlowes brow furrowed.
Rich boyfriend? | dont know what youre talking about.
Oh, con, one of them said, grinning.
That tall, handsguy who swooped in to save you is your boyfriend, right? The whole bar has been talking
about that incident.
Yeah, chimed in another.
Mr.
Barker was so scared after that incident, he ended up blaming the manager for everything.
Poor guy lost his job.
Marlowe blinked, her mind struggling to piece it all together.
She hadnt expected Mitchels involvement to have caused such a stir, much less cost someone their job, A
strange mix of emotions coiled in her chest-relief that Barker wouldnt trouble her again and something else...
She realized that she and Mitchel were really from different worlds; they probably shouldnt meet again.
Marlowes former colleagues kept chattering, their words slicing through her thoughts.
The gossip only made Marlowes head throb, and she spoke firmly, her tone flat.
Im not close with that guy.
Seriously, stop making things up.
Her dismissive tone seemed to do the trick, and her former colleagues eventually left, grumbling with
disappointment.
Milly, who had been watching the scene quietly, asked Marlowe, What was all that about? Whos the mystery
guy? Marlowe wasnt in the mood to relive that night, but Milly was her friend, and she didnt want to brush her off
completely. So, she gave Milly a brief rundown of what had happened with Mitchel.
When she finished, Milly stared at her, eyes wide and mouth slightly open in shock.
Wait, this is what happened? Milly said, nudging Marlowes arm.
Are you sure he doesnt have a thing for you? | am sure.
He doesnt have any feelings for me, Marlowe replied.
She knew Mitchel couldnt possibly like her; he had always Liked Ariana.
A waiter arrived just then, placing two drinks on the table.
Marlowe picked one up and, without hesitation, took a deep gulp, swallowing more than half in one go.
Both the waiter and Milly were shocked by this.
