Stop It, She’s Remarrying (Fia and Conrad)
Chapter 1116

Chapter 1116

"Yeah? Well, I'll pass!" Kent replied impatiently.

He was so pissed. How could his close friends, every single one of them, all still dwell on Fia's death after five freaking years?! It felt as though Fia's death was still haunting them, especially today!

Eileen understood Kent's frustration. After all, his childhood friend had fallen into despair and changed into a completely different man. Yet, as his best friend, Kent could do nothing to help him. If this happened to Fia, she would be frustrated too.

"I'm sorry. I promise I'll try to keep it in the next time we meet."

Kent frowned. "We've known each other for so many years. So, I'd like you to trust me when I Say

I'm really concerned for you. You and Jase shouldn't dwell on the past like this anymore. It's bad enough that you'd lost Fia. Don't tell me you want to lose yourself too! Move on! You still have a lot to look forward to in life!"

Resting her head against the car's window, Eileen said nonchalantly, "It's not easy to get a best friend like Fia. The world becomes so gray and bleak after she's gone.'

"You still have someone who loves you, your coworkers! You haven't lost everyone. Even though they don't seem to be as important as Fia, they still genuinely care for you." Kent comforted her, "Like me, Lyn, and... Victor."

Eileen rolled her eyes at him. "Hmph, what did he bribe you with this time?"

"He didn't bribe me." Kent sighed. "It's just that when I see you living all alone like this, 1 can't help but worry for you."

"I'd rather be alone than be with him."

Eileen spoke as she closed her eyes, feeling fatigue when she thought of Victor.

Victor had done a lot for her in the past five years, yet he never appeared before her asking for her appreciation. Of course, she would not feel grateful for it. She had suffered too much being his underground lover back then.

That one time of him asking her to abort her baby alone was enough to make her lose. drop of adulation she had for him!

"Find a secluded bar and drop me there," Eileen said.

Checking his watch, Kent realized that Eileen had a day off the next day. She probably wanted to have a few drinks to destress. Frankly, she really needed it.

Thus, he drove straight to a bar that he knew. It was a secluded yet safe establishment to get a drink. The security was so tight that only registered members and their guests were allowed in. After scanning his member card at the door, Kent led Eileen to a VIP lounge upstairs. Putting on her face mask, Eileen noticed that there were not many customers hanging out up there.

"Geez, there are not many customers here. What kind of bar is this?"

"Only VIPs are allowed here."

Kent then led her to a balcony where she could have a great view of the floor below. He asked after seeing her impressed eyes above her mask, "So, what do you think?"

"Not bad."

There was a bar counter nearby that served a lot of high-end wines.

"Go on. Be my guest. They're all from my private stash."

Eileen took a glance at him. "So this is the place you come whenever you need to get drunk?"

"I only come here occasionally. This bar takes great care in protecting its customers' privacy. So, you don't need to worry about being recognized in public here."

Kent cooked up a cocktail at the counter and handed it to her. "Here, have some. But don't have too much. Alcohol can harm one's nerves. You'll not be able to perform well as an actor if you drown in these too often."

"If I can't be an actor anymore, I'll just replace somewhere to settle down. Maybe I could start a garden and grow some vegetables and flowers," Eileen jested.

"Garden? You? Bah, forget it! You're so well-known right now. If you dare to retire now, the public will surely hunt you down and expose you under the spotlight again!" Kent said as he looked at his watch. "What's wrong? You've got an appointment?"

"Sally's performing an operation right now. She'll be off work at three in the morning," Kent said as he browsed his phone, wanting to order supper for Sally.

"Then what are you standing here for? Go fetch her home." Eileen said, "Don't you worry about me."

Kent hesitated for a moment before leaving. It should be fine leaving Eileen alone in this bar. After all, this bar was owned by Victor. So, no one would dare to lay a finger on her here. Of course, Kent could not tell Eileen that. If she knew that this bar belonged to Victor, she would never step into this establishment!

Meanwhile, Victor's men approached him to give him a report.

"Sir, Mr. Gilbert brought a woman over tonight."
