AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Under the dim light, no expression could be seen on Enzo’s face. His charming eyes seemed empty as he looked down at the bustling scene below. Suddenly, a suffocating feeling of loneliness took hold of his heart. He had never felt this way before.

In the past, during Christmas or other festivities, Jessica was there. He bickered with her from the moment they met until the end. They bickered so much that he no longer had time to feel alone.

He lowered his head and drained the wine into his glass. Then he took his phone and opened WeChat. After a long time, he finally found Jessica’s message box.

Enzo: It’s not enough to have fun in the country to have fun abroad. How frivolous.

After a moment of hesitation, he deleted the message he had typed. Then he started typing again.

Enzo: What happened last time was a misunderstanding. I shouldn’t have lost my temper. You…

“No no No! I’ve never apologized to anyone in my entire life! Why should I apologize to a crazy person like her? Outrageous!”

He deleted the message again. He held his phone, looking frustrated. After a while, he tossed his phone aside and plopped down on the couch. He raised his hands and massaged his temples.

After a while, an idea appeared in his mind. He picked up his phone again and quickly typed a short message.

Enzo: Merry Christmas!

– If she asks, I’ll just say it’s a message I forwarded to everyone in my contact list. I’m really awesome. I may even have such an idea.

Enzo felt rather proud of his intelligence as he pressed the “send” button. The next moment, the smug smile on his face froze.

A notification appeared on his phone screen, informing him that his message couldn’t be sent because the other party had blocked him.

-Jessi! That ! Ramos!

…

Roxane didn’t expect to see Nadia again so soon.

Unlike the sexy woman last night, she wore light makeup today and she was dressed in a knee-length wool coat. Her long, black hair fluttered in the wind, attracting the attention of many boys.

Roxane walked towards Nadia and asked:

– Beauty, why are you here at the university? What is the problem?

Nadia was delighted when Roxane called her a beauty. She smiled and said:

– It’s nothing. I came to get you.

– Eh?

– It’s cold outside. Let’s talk in the car, Nadia said, turning around and motioning for Roxane to get in the car.

Roxane’s heart moved slightly when she saw the Hummer parked on the side of the road.

‘As you’d expect from driving a Hummer, she’s so cool!’

Nadia opened the car door for Roxane and waited for her to get in before getting into the driver’s seat. After that, she said without beating around the bush:

-I heard that you are good at painting and drawing, so I would like you to help me paint a picture. Regarding fees, you can charge me according to the market price. It does not matter.

– Eh? Do you want me to paint? Roxane was stunned.

Nadia nodded.

– Don’t try to be modest. I looked for you on the Internet. You won the Golden Brush competition.

Roxane blushed slightly. ‘This cool person just congratulated me!’

– Well, since you said so, I naturally won’t refuse.

– GOOD. Here we go?

– Eh?

Before she could react, Nadia started the engine and fled. As she turned onto the main road, she said:

– You don’t have anything to do in the afternoon, do you?

Roxane nodded.

– I have nothing to do in the afternoon, but…

Nadia intervened:

– All right. Let’s make a deal first. You must accept payment from me. If I let you paint for nothing, President Flores will certainly seek me out to settle scores later.

– He won’t do it, declared Roxane, embarrassed by Nadia’s frankness.

Nadia was not only brave, but she was also very direct. She was even simpler than Jessica. Roxane thought that if Jessica was there, she would get along very well with Nadia. The duo would probably become sworn brothers or something.

Nadia’s driving skills were not bad. She drove regularly and found various topics to discuss with Roxane. She made sure the atmosphere didn’t become cold or awkward.

The car finally stopped in an underground parking lot.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

When Roxane got out of the car and followed Nadia into the elevator, she found her surroundings vaguely familiar. Soon after the elevator started moving, she finally realized that it was the mall where Jonas’ escape room and art gallery were located. Not only that, but it seemed like they were also heading towards the floor they were on.
