Lie Flat, Sugar Daddy

Chapter 4 Meet the Enemy

Now that things had turned out this way, she was afraid of a big loss of money.

"Who knows." Darcy pouted, looking indifferent.

"You are pretending to be nonchalant with me, right? Who looked at me with that pitiful look when she

fainted just now and told me not to tell anyone?" Rae took a step closer to the hospital bed and

clenched her fist as if she was about to teach her, who was ungrateful, a lesson.

Darcy swallowed for fear that she would really hit her, "I really don't know. The bar was so crowded that

night. I ..."

Rae was furious.

So she didn't go anywhere in the afternoon and just stayed in her room with Darcy. They both ignored

each other and did their own thing until it got dark outside. Rae then remembered the appointment. She Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

still had to inform him if she wouldn’t go. She couldn't bear Eric sitting there alone, so she turned to the

woman in the hospital bed, "Give me Eric's phone number. I need to talk to him."

"I don't have it." Darcy shook her head, "I did ask him for his number, but he didn't give it to me, saying

that he would give it to me next time after I finished shooting." After that, Darcy looked wistfully at Rae

and asked, "Rae, you must remind him of seeing me again."

Rae was exasperated, "Take care of the baby first, alright?"

"It's easy. You know, nothing can stop me from chasing a handsome man." Darcy laughed like a flower

in full bloom.

Seeing her smile, Rae suddenly felt numb and painful, like her heart had been gently stung by a bee.

She knew Darcy's past. Now Darcy probably felt tired of living seriously after experiencing a

heartbreaking experience and thought it would be better to just enjoy her life. She wanted to say

something, but it occurred to her that her own relationship was still a mess, so how could she teach

others?

Both she and Jensen were trying their best to pretend as if nothing had happened, but she knew that

the matter had always been buried in their hearts as heavy as a mountain and neither of them couldn’t

be bothered to move it.

Rae stood for a while. It was getting dark outside, so she decided to go to the French restaurant and

tell Eric to leave, and then she would go home and cook for Jensen.

...

It was eight o'clock when Rae arrived at the French restaurant. The restaurant was lavishly decorated,

with gentle music wafting around the dining room and the delicate cutlery mirroring shiny lights.

Everyone smiled on their faces and the whole restaurant looked peaceful.

She immediately noticed the man she hadn't seen for a long time, and her heart ached suddenly. It’s

Eric. He was, in white casual clothes, sitting by the window, and looking out. The entire night scene of

City BJ seemed like a silent background behind him. He looked as gentle, elegant, and gorgeous as

the assistant said ...

At first, she was attracted by him for this reason and then fell deeply in love with him.

Of course, she ended up being hurt badly by him.

The good thing was that she had grown in the relationship. And her heart was tough enough to protect

her from being hurt by him again.

Rae fixed her long hair and slowly walked over to him.

Eric noticed someone coming towards him and moved his sight back from the window. When he saw

Rae, a smile instantly spread across his face, making him look even more charming. Eric stood up and

pulled out a chair for her, "Little Rae, I am waiting for you." His voice was so gentle that it was like a

long brewing wine that would make one drunk at the first sip.

Little Rae.

Rae hadn't heard a call from him for a long time. She took a deep breath and felt her heart ache again.

She calmed herself down and said coldly, "No, thanks. I'm not here to talk about the past. I just came to

tell you that I had something else to do and couldn't have dinner with you. Please don't invite me in

such an arbitrary way anymore. I won't come again. That's all."

After saying that, Rae turned around to leave.

"Little Rae, just stop disguising. If you can really be cruel to me," Eric chuckled as if he hadn't heard her

hurtful words, "and why would you rather let Jensen hate you than tell him about the truth?"

The truth ...

Rae felt like her feet were stuck and she couldn't move at once.

The chaotic scene back then flashed through her mind slowly like playing a movie. When she recalled

Jensen's harsh and desperate look at her, Rae felt her chest was tight like it was being pressed against

a large stone, and it became difficult for her to even breathe. Rae subconsciously knocked on her chest

gently, feeling very depressed.

Eric raised his hand and fixed her long hair around her ear. His smile was like a warm breeze in the

winter, "See, you still love me in your heart. Otherwise, you wouldn't show up to stop me from

waiting..."

Eric's words stopped at once.

An empty glass was held in her right hand and her fingertips was firmly pressing against the glass.The

lemonade sprayed all over Eric’s face and two thin slices of lemon were still left on his coat. She looked

at him and said through clenched teeth, "Don't keep talking to me about the past. Don't you think it’s

disgusting?"

Eric paled for a second, but quickly regained his elegance and asked, "Disgusting? What about you?

You made yourself cheap as you stayed with Jensen for money. You know he's not serious. Don't you

think it’s disgusting?" After saying that, Eric raised his hand and wiped his face. He had been expelled

from City BJ by Jensen a few years ago, and now that the deadline had passed, and the first thing he

wanted to do when he returned was to find Rae and get back together with her. But what he heard was

that she was staying with Jensen like a mistress and kept pleasing him for the monthly debt.

No, he was wrong. At least a mistress could get paid monthly by someone who’s glad to pay, but what

about Rae? She was like a pet dog, waving her tail to please the owner and begging for a little food.

"Oh," Rae really felt her heart was broken when she heard his words. She let out a mocking laugh. In

fact, since she decided to do it, she was never afraid of what people would say. But when the

comments were from Eric, she couldn't afford it. After all, he was the person she once loved. He knew

what she was going through, so why could he scoffed at and criticize her? Rae asked, "Then I ask you,

where were you when I needed you most? Now you are here to blame me? What qualifications do you

have? What's wrong with me being cheap? If I hadn't been cheap, I would have died long ago! I would

have been torn in pieces by the families of the victims! I'm not the kind of person who would rather

starve to death than beg for help!"

Eric didn't expect that Rae reacted so violently. After he was stunned for a moment, he murmured,

"Little Rae..."

"I have a full name. Don't call me that. It sucks!" Rae shouted angrily!

Eric lowered his eyes. He knew that he had said the wrong words, so he had to explain, "I'm sorry. I

wasn't there when you needed me most, but you know I couldn't make it. Jensen kicked me out of City

BJ, and my forces were almost cleared out. I've tried to ask the people who secretly protect you to

send you money, but they were all stopped by Jensen."

"What do you mean?" Rae's brow furrowed.

"It seems you don't know about it. Then ask Jensen and see if he would like to tell you." Eric said, "Now

that you don't want to have dinner with me tonight, I'll drive you home."

"Huh, don’t bother about it. I'm afraid I'll smudge your car." Rae came back to her senses from Eric's

words, so she put the glass down and left without looking back. As soon as she left the French

restaurant with her head held high, she lowered her head, looking extremely weak.

She walked out of the restaurant. The warm summer breeze that greeted her was as hot as if she had

been thrown into an oven. Rae was not as cheerful as she was during the day and looked very

confused at the moment. She was confused about why Eric could easily see through her mind and

knew that she really didn't want to let him wait in vain. They were no longer naive, but her feelings

about him were still the same as before. She still loved him deeply even for now, but the only difference

was that she hated him as well.

With her head down, she walked to the side of the road to get a taxi but was hit hard by someone on

the doorstep, causing her to nearly flop down the steps. Rae felt sullen but she didn’t want to find

trouble, so she didn't ask for an apology from the person who hit her and planned to leave. But

apparently, that person didn't think so. When she brushed past that person ...

Her left arm was firmly grasped by her all of a sudden!

"Rae, is it actually you?!"

A familiar shrill voice rang out beside her ears.

Hearing the obnoxious voice, Rae pulled her arm back from her with force. She glanced at the girl in

front of her, who was dressed in fashionable and revealing clothes. She was obviously a few years

younger than her, but she was heavily made up and looked older than she was. Rae laughed, "See

who she is? She's a bitch."

"Rae!" The girl suddenly turned furious!

"Nia, don't call me. You defile my name ," Rae said defiantly.

"What?" Nia raised her eyebrows, then said as if introducing her to a friend on her side, "You know

what? She is the daughter of that shameless developer, Heath Jordan. Do you know who he is? He is

the one who destroyed so many families by cutting corners. He attempted to suicide, but instead of

dying, he made himself a vegetable. Hahahaha ..."

Rae pursed her lips tightly. Her hands hanging at her side had long been clenched into fists as she

heard of her words about her father.

Especially her rude laughter made Rae's anger climb to the extreme instantly!

But she couldn't hit her, because she was afraid ...

"Huh? Really?" Nia's friend also shouted, and deliberately acted like shocked.

"And, do you know her mother? Her mom is even more bitchy, She seduced my dad ..."

Slap!

A stinging slap caught Nia's face.

Nia stroked her face and was dumbfounded by the slap.

"Nia, think about the consequences before you speaking!" Rae's body trembled in anger. Her eyes also

instantly looked bloodshot because of Nia's words! If her tolerance to Nia before was for her mother's

sake, Rae didn't think she had to tolerate her anymore as Nia openly smeared her mother!
