The Apple of My Eye
Chapter 1428 Acting

After the bartender saw how crazy the woman was, he had no idea how to deal with her. All he could do was ask again, "Miss, where do you live? You must have someplace to go." 'She's well-dressed. Her clothes look classy. There's no way she's poor. She's got to be from a rich family. Must be nice to lead such a life, 'the bartender thought to himself.

"Where...

Where do I live? I have no place to go... No place..." the woman said, laughing to herself as if almost driven to insanity. "Leila, you have no place to go. What a poor girl!" 'Leila?' the bartender thought to himself. 'Perhaps...

Is that her name?' he wondered.

'But I still don't know where she lives. What on earth am I going to do with her?' he asked himself in his mind.

"Miss, how about I offer you another free drink. Then I can bring you home, alright?" he offered. At that moment, a wide and strong man arrived to sit beside her.

"You...you stay away from me!" Leila shouted. Although she was already completely drunk, she could still tell a friend's hand from a stranger's-she knew well enough to resist the man.

Upon seeing the arrival, the bartender couldn't help but sigh in defeat, looking like he felt so unlucky to be caught in the situation.

"Mr. Liu, it's been a long time since you came here. What do you want? It's my treat," he said to the fat man hurriedly as if he was too afraid to forget being respectful.

'Wood Liu is a tough one. I shouldn't do anything that could make him unhappy or I'm dead. He's a police officer-he has too much power. I wouldn't dare mess with someone like this, 'the bartender told himself.

Looking at the bartender in disdain, Wood Liu only sneered, playfully asking, "Have I ever paid you for any drinks?"

"No, never. It's my pleasure to pay for you. It's only natural for you to drink whatever you want here. You always honor us by coming to our bar," the bartender responded quickly.

"That's right." With that, Wood Liu put his hand on Leila's arm-she was wearing a sleeveless dress and her arms were exposed.

"Your skin is white and smooth like silk. When I touch it, I feel like I'm touching high-class material. It's nice," he smiled in spite of the fact that he was obviously making her uncomfortable. Not even the bartender could say anything as he watched.

At that time, the bartender only hoped that Leila would fully wake up on her own. At the very least, she could fight back and resist him a little.

However, Leila was falling deeper and deeper into her drunk state, unable to even clearly see who was in front of her, nor conscious enough to resist him.

Seeing her condition, Wood Liu felt like it was his lucky day to have met such a gorgeous woman at the bar. While he could easily pick up other beautiful women for free, he stubbornly wanted to get Leila's attention.

"Hey, beauty. Let me send you home," he said as he held her up, having her lean on him like they were any other couples. With that, they left the bar together.

Having witnessed all sorts of things happen at the bar, the bartender was worried for the woman, unable to do anything about it.

As Wood Liu rushed to get a room at a hotel nearby, he bumped into a person at the gate.

And Leila nearly fell to the floor.

"Who the hell are you? Do you have any idea who I am?"

Holding Leila up once again, Wood Liu began sounding enraged.

At the next moment, however, he was so shocked that his mouth fell open-he was stunned speechless.

His eyes seemed to fix onto the woman he ran into. As he stared at her, he completely forgot the woman in his arms.

'Wow! This woman is quite a thing, 'he thought to himself.

With her long, curly hair, red lips, long and thick eyelashes, she was beautiful. When she blinked her doe-eyes, her lashes were like butterfly wings, triggering something deep inside him.

After seeing her perfectly sculpted face, he looked down, his line of view stopping when it reached her breasts.

'Hell no. If I knew such a gorgeous woman was waiting for me at the gate, I never would've bothered taking this drunk woman home. What a waste of time,' he thought to himself.

"Hey, beauty. Did I hurt you?" he smiled softly as if he didn't just yell at her a second ago.

Holley looked at him in disdain, sneering in her mind, 'Such an ugly, stupid man. Trying to get a woman like me? How stupid!'

By looking at his clothes, Holley could tell that he was neither very rich nor important. Coming to that conclusion, she didn't want to waste a second on him.

Unintentionally, she spotted Leila, who passed out in his arms. 'This stupid woman is drinking herself to death. I doubt she could even recognize her own mother by now. If I didn't see her here by chance, that disgusting, ugly man would've taken her to bed, ' Holley thought to herself.

"Yes, you did. So, what compensation will you offer me?" Holley put on her sweet and soft voice, flirting with the man.

Hearing her sweet words, Wood Liu was rather confident that the woman had a thing for him. So lost in his own fantasies of conquering her, he thought about how amazing it would feel to push her down onto a bed and crawl on top of her.

He was completely taken by the idea.

At that time, Leila was no longer attractive to him he found a new, shiny toy to pursue. Just when he thought that Leila was holding him back, an idea came to him.

'This woman is far more attractive. What if I let them both come back to the hotel with me? Wouldn't that be nice?'

With that thought, he decided not to abandon Leila-he would enjoy the night with both of them.

"Beauty, I'll give you any compensation you want. Come on, show me where you were hurt. I'll take good care of you," Wood Liu said as he approached Holley, his real intentions crystal clear. Suddenly, Holley could smell a strong trace of alcohol. Disgusted by the scent, she had to step back before pulling out her phone to kill time.

"You said that you would take good care of me. What should my boyfriend do, in that case?" she asked deliberately.

Hearing the words, he laughed, "Your boyfriend? Who is he?"

"About who my boyfriend is, I'd better not tell you. In case you get scared," said Holley, trying to make him angry.

Instead of getting angry, Wood Liu thought he should be even more of a gentleman in front of such a beauty.

"No kidding. But I'm never scared of anyone. Hey, come home with me. Forget about your lousy boyfriend. I'll give you a night you can't forget," he teased.

After Holley's long finger pointed to her phone a few times, she kept it in her handbag once again. Smiling at Wood Liu, she looked at Leila, still in his arms. "Look at you! You've already gotten yourself a girlfriend. Why do you ask me to go home with you? You're not afraid that she'll get jealous?"

"You're talking about this woman? She's not my girlfriend. I saw her too drunk to head home alone. I was only being nice and taking her home where she could rest. Don't put me in the wrong, my dear," he explained himself. Hearing what Holley said, he thought he might have a chance with her.

"Oh, really? I saw how you held her so tight so I knew you were close. I just assumed she's your girlfriend," Holley said.

"If I don't hold her properly, she'll fall to the floor. I'm just being a nice person. Beauty, don't be jealous of her." Wood Liu tried to convince her, coming up with excuses.
