Chapter 7 Acting
"Ah! It hurts. " Myra fell heavily on the ground and her hand was scratched by something. She cried in pain.
"Miss Myra, let me have a look." Mrs. Liu said with concern and helped her up.
"You are really good at pretending." Josef said coldly and left. Mrs. Liu helped Myra to the bed.
"Miss Myra, please wait for me here. I'll go downstairs and get you the first aid." Then Mrs. Liu left in a hurry.
"Don't be so troublesome, it is just a small wound. It's okay. " But Mrs. Liu didn't listen to Myra. She went downstairs to get the first aid.
In less than a minute, she came up with first aid.
Fortunately, there was nothing except the parts of the broken mobile phone thrown by Josef. So only one of Myra's hands was scratched by the broken phone shell.
"It hurts, Mrs. Liu. I'd better do it myself!" Afraid of the pain, Myra wanted to wipe the wound herself.
"No. Although it's a little painful now, there won't be any scars after the medicine is applied. Just put up with it! " Mrs. Liu said worriedly.
"Oh, I see." That was all Myra could say. After applying medicine to Myra, Mrs. Liu put aside the first aid kit and was about to clean up Myra's bedroom.
"Mrs. Liu, it's late. You can clean it up tomorrow!" Said Myra.
"Well, how can you have a rest if I don't clean it up? There are things everywhere. What if you fall again? " Mrs. Liu said worriedly.
"I'd better sleep in the guest room for one night! You can clean it up tomorrow. " Said Myra.
"But what about Mr. Josef?" Said Mrs. Liu. "Don't worry! He won't come back to sleep in the bedroom tonight. " Said Myra.
"Is it really good?" Mrs. Liu said and was about to help Myra to the guest room.
"Mrs. Liu! My hand is injured, not my feet. You can go back and have a rest! And thank you so much tonight. " Myra forced a smile.
"Don't thank me. You young people are sometimes too impulsive. By the way, you'd better not touch water now, it will heal faster." Mrs. Liu said with concern.
When Myra went back to the guest room, she really felt very tired.
It was almost twelve o'clock. She was so tired that she just wanted to have a good sleep. But she smelled the alcohol on her body and she fell down just now, she felt sticky all over her body.
She had to stand up and walk to the bathroom to clean herself. She just wanted to take a quick shower and have a good rest. She totally forgot what Mrs. Liu's said about not touching water.
It was really inconvenient to hurt one hand. After taking a shower, Myra came out and wanted to dry her hair.
However, one of her hands was holding the hair dryer, and the other was injured and was wet by water. A little touch of it would make her painful to death.
Finally, it took her more than half an hour to dry her hair. The other hand was not scratched, but hurt by Josef.
Myra took a closer look, there was really a large area of bruises. No wonder she felt so painful.
'Oh, my God! Josef, when did you become so ruthless? How could you hurt me so much? If Mrs. Liu hadn't come up, would you be more ruthless to me? ' Thinking of this, Myra was still very scared and cried.
Did Josef treat her like this only because he was drunk? Myra had seen him get drunk before! This matter had never happened before. "Aren't you deceiving yourself?" said Myra with a bitter smile.
After leaving home, Josef drove to a bar owned by his friend to drink.
Since he entered that bar, his appearance attracted many people's attention.
Men were jealous when they saw him.
Women were so happy to have such a handsome man sitting next to them. They really made a fortune tonight. They couldn't express their happiness.
Women who had accompanies felt sorry for themselves. 'Why wasn't the man beside me like Josef?
Could the man beside me be a match for him? He didn't even deserve to help him carry shoes. Alas! Forgot it! If I didn't have a chance, I could have a look!'
All the women were attracted by Josef's beautiful face and stared at him. The male companions were so angry that they almost spat out blood.
Josef just wanted to drink alone quietly. He had seen too much admiring gazes from others since he was a child.
So it didn't affect him at all. 'At that time, Myra also looked at me with such infatuated eyes.
We had just been married for less than half a year, but things had changed. Women's hearts were fickle. Nothing was true. Ordinary women like Myra would betray me. '
Thinking of this, Josef drank more and more violently.
"Hi, handsome guy. Are you alone? " Such a way of accosting. In less than five minutes, Josef heard from more than ten women.
'Oh, my God! I couldn't even have a drink quietly.' Josef thought bitterly.
"It's you, really?" Josef turned around and found that it was his friend, the boss of the bar Ellen, calling him.
"Why are you here alone at this late hour? Did you couple quarrel? " Ellen said with a smile.
"Can't I drink if we didn't quarrel?" Said Josef.
"It seems that you are in a bad mood! Do you want tell me about it? " Said Ellen.
"Just drink with me." Answered Josef.
"It's too noisy here. Come to my office! " Said Ellen.
"Okay!" Josef agreed.
Josef arrived at Ellen's office, it was much quieter than outside.
Ellen poured a glass of wine for both of them, just a little.
"Why are you so depressed? I've been friends with you for so many years, and I've rarely seen you like this. " Ellen said with concern.
"Nothing. I just want to have a few drinks. " Answered Josef.
"Hey, how long have we known each other? Do you want to hide it from me? Did you quarrel with Myra? " Said Ellen.
"I don't know what to say. So annoying. " Josef said tiredly. "A quarrel is a quarrel. What can't you say? It is normal for a couple to quarrel sometimes. Don't think too much. " Ellen persuaded Josef.
"Myra, she had an affair." Said Josef. "I... You are kidding me... I... " Ellen choked on the wine and coughed up tears.
"It's so humiliating to drink like this." Josef said with a frown.
"Well, it's all because of you. Josef, don't joke when I am drinking or eating something next time, okay? " Said Ellen pitifully.
"I'm serious. Who is joking with you?" Josef said seriously.
"Let me see if you have a fever!" Ellen touched Josef's forehead with his hands. "You aren't in fever! Are you drunk? " Said Ellen, speechless.
"You have a fever. I'm fine. " Josef drained his glass again.
"I think you are really drunk. Even Myra is said to have an affair by you. " Said Ellen helplessly.
"Ellen, Myra isn't as simple as you think." Said Josef sadly.
"Are you in love with her?" Ellen asked the key point. "Me? How is that possible? Do you think I will fall in love with her? Don't you know why I married her? " Said Josef with a sneer.
"Really? Then why are you sad now? What does it have to do with you that Myra had an affair? Don't you always take it as acting? Why do you care so much? " Said Ellen.
"But she is my wife now! How can she betray me? Isn't should be me who should have an affair first? I hate being cheated and betrayed most. " Said Josef.
"It's none of your business. You will break up sooner or later. The play will come to an end soon, and you will have nothing to do with each other. No one cares about whether he or she had an affair or not. I think you are really bored! " Said Ellen.
'Ellen was right! Soon, the play between me and Myra was about to finish. But thinking of the betrayal of Myra, I still can't swallow my anger.' Josef thought and didn't speak it out.
"Come on! Congratulations that you can be free and single as soon as possible. " Said Ellen, clinking glasses with Josef.
"Thank you!" Josef said with a smile.
Ellen looked at the Josef and didn't say anything.
'Alas! Did he fall in love with Myra? He had a complacent expression on his face. In fact, if he really loved someone, then he really loved her with all his heart. ' Ellen thought happily. He didn't know whether it was sad or happy.
"Why are you looking at me like that? ha-ha! Are you attracted by my appearance? " Said Josef with a smile.
"You think too much! Well, how is it going? " Said Ellen with a smile.
"Isn't it the same as before?" Josef drank another glass.
"Is there any solution? Don't drink too much! " Ellen said with a frown.
"I am preparing. Don't you know how much I can drink? I won't be drunk with this little wine. " Said Josef.
"Oh, what are you going to say to Myra?" Asked Ellen.
"There's nothing to talk about. I will say what I should say. We are just acting. " When Josef said "acting", his heart ached. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
"Really? Aren't you afraid that she can't accept it? " Said Ellen.
"This is fate! So what? Everyone has his own fate. " Said Josef.
"Okay, as long as you can solve it yourself. If you need anything, just tell me." Ellen proposed a toast to Josef.
"Forget it. Drink with me! " Said Josef.
Ellen saw an expression of sadness flashed across Josef's eyes. But he didn't point out, he only drank one after another with Josef.
The more one wanted to get drunk, the soberer he was.
Like now, Josef wanted to get drunk and relieve his sorrows. But he couldn't help thinking of the lovely smile on Myra's ordinary face.
"Hey, Josef, you're getting better and better at drinking. I'm willing to give in." Said Ellen drunkenly.
"You too! You too! " Josef said drunkenly.
"In fact, Myra is also a good girl. But you are not from the same level. You will be separated sooner or later. " Said Ellen with a sigh.
