Love Is a Sweet Addiction

If she hadn’t felt that Lila’s voice was similar to the female voice that had called Terence out that night, she might not have felt that there was something wrong with Lila and Terence.

“What does that mean?” Serena asked in confusion.

Linsay shook her head. “I don’t know what it means. I only know that Terence is so handsome. Any woman will be interested in him.”

“Is that so? Including you?” Serena smiled and teased.

Linsay glared at her and spat, “Serena, what are you talking about? How can I be interested in my good friend’s husband?”

“It was just a joke. Take it easy.” Serena laughed and said, “Actually, what I want to say is that not all women are interested in Terence, a married man. For example, I don’t even want him anyway.”

“But not everyone is as moral as you,” Esther said faintly.

Linsay quickly glanced at her, picked up the juice and took a sip. She said apologetically, “Esther, did you take it to heart? In fact, I was just talking nonsense. My purpose is to remind you to be careful of those women.”

“When a man is about to cheat, who can stop him?” Serena shrugged. “I think it’s better to forget about it and take it easy. Maybe you can find one.”

Esther looked at her and shook her head with a bitter smile. “If only I could be as optimistic as you.”

“It’s fine. You’ll be able to get over it sooner or later.” Serena threw her a flirtatious look. “I will introduce a good man to you when we are free. It will anger Terence.”

“No, don’t introduce me to any men. I can’t take it.” Esther hurriedly raised her hands to refuse. “It’s better for you to introduce Linsay. Linsay needs men more than I do.”

“Okay, I’m unmarried anyway. The more, the better.” Linsay smiled and said.

Esther looked at her friends and sighed, “You two, I clearly came to ask you to appease me. Why do I feel even worse now?”

Originally, she did not doubt Terence’s whereabouts so much. After being told by the two of them just now, she felt that there really was such a thing.

Especially the superstar called Lila. How did she suddenly become the jewelry spokesperson of the Gibson Group? And she always went to the Gibson Group. Was she really the female who invited Terence out that night?

…

After Terence left Esther, he directly drove to Night Bar.

When she saw his car, Miss Young walked up to him and apologized, “I’m sorry, Terence. I didn’t mean to bother you. It’s just that Yang is too difficult to deal with. He clamored to talk to you personally, and even Mr. Horne and I couldn’t deal with him. He said that if you didn’t come out personally, he would not cooperate with the Gibson group.”

Terence’s expression was gloomy. He said in a deep voice, “Didn’t you tell him I was on leave tonight?”

“I told him. I even made up a lie about your wife getting pregnant, but he refused to let it go. I really have no choice.” After being by Terence’s side for so long, this was the first time Miss Young was so helpless. It was also the first time that she was so thick-skinned to bother Terence.

She asked, “Terence, did I disturb your business?”

“No.” Terence unfastened his seatbelt, pushed open the door and got out of the car. “Let’s go and take a look.”

It turned out that Mr. Yang was drunk and went crazy. Fortunately, the moment Terence appeared, he became calm. He laughed and pointed to himself, “I knew you will give me face. Of course…”

Terence swept a glance at the mess in the room and indifferently spat out, “Mr. Yang, you want to see me so much. Are you just testing if I will appear?”

Mr. Yang smiled and shook his head. “Of course not… I just want to see why you can make my sister so attracted…”

“Have you seen me clearly now?” Terence frowned.

“Yes… Just like us, you have two legs, two hands, and one head. There’s nothing special…” Mr. Yang shook his head and nodded. “But you are the boss of the Gibson group. You are more powerful than us, right?” He smiled and turned to the two assistants behind him.

“Since you have already seen that I am no different from a normal person, then please go back and comfort Miss Lila. Tell her to not put her mind on me, who is not special, and is a married man.”

“You… What do you mean?” Mr. Yang’s already red face blushed. He pointed at Terence and angrily said, “You are looking down on my sister. Do you know how many men want her? Do you know how high her current status is? I know…”

“I know, I know everything.” Terence interrupted him somewhat impatiently, but he still maintained a smile on his face. “It is because I know that I am not worthy of Miss Lila that I have not dared to have any improper thoughts about her. After all, I am already married and can not give Miss Lila what she wants.”

“You…!” Mr. Yang suddenly raised his hand and slammed it on the table, pointing at him angrily. “You are clearly looking down on my sister. Terence, you have guts…!”

“Mr. Yang, please calm down.” When Miss Young saw that he had the tendency to make a move, she quickly stepped forward and pulled him back. “Mr. Terence really doesn’t mean to dislike Miss Lila, but… he is indeed married and doesn’t want to hurt Miss Lila. That’s why he said those words.”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“If it wasn’t for my sister liking you, I would have already asked someone to… cripple you!” Mr. Yang waved his fists and then waved to the two assistants on the sofa. “Let’s go!”

After Mr. Yang left, Terence’s cold eyes swept over them and landed on Miss Young and Mr. Horne.

The two of them felt a chill and lowered their heads.

Miss Young laughed dryly and said fawningly, “Mr. Terence… I really didn’t know that Mr. Yang was the brother of Lila. Just now, he didn’t say it. He just said that he wanted to see you. I’m sorry. I failed to investigate his identity.”

Terence snapped back his gaze. After sitting down on the sofa, Mr. Horne immediately poured him a glass of water. “Please.”

Terence glanced at him and said in an indifferent tone, “Have you talked about the cooperation?”

“We did talk, but Mr. Yang was a little weird from the beginning. I don’t know if the details we talked about just now are counted.” Mr. Horne said apologetically, “I didn’t expect him to be the brother of Lila, and Lila and you…”

“I don’t have anything to do with Lila.” Terence interrupted him.

“Sorry, sorry… I was wrong…” Mr. Horne lowered his head again. How could he casually say the personal matters of his superior? He was too careless just now.
