Although Vana didn’t know anyone at the celebration party, fortunately, no one came to cause her trouble, and Cherry didn’t appear here, which made Vana feel relieved.
Fortunately, the party hadn’t started yet, and Vana had nothing to do but stood at a table for desserts. There were red wine and small cakes here. Vana was surprised to see a kind of wine, which was known as “Tequila”.
The golden liquid was shaking in the goblet. Unfortunately, there was no salt or lemon here, or Vana would be more surprised.
According to the most traditional drinking method of the Tequila, one should put the salt on the back of his hand, and then lick the salt before drinking it. Then he quickly drank the Tequila and took a bite of the lemon slice. The taste was very wonderful, and the sour and salty taste burst out on the taste bud, which was easy to surprise people.
However, Vana was already very happy to drink the wine she often drank in Eritrea. She didn’t care about too much and drink up two glasses of wine in front of her. Then she picked up a cup of Tequila and walked to the window to enjoy the night with good wine.
It had been more than two months since she came back. Vana had never missed the people there so much since they parted. Moreover, she had contacted with Lewis before. After returning home, Bill started a new round of war and recaptured several islands near the L Island He seemed to have forgotten to explain something to her, and Vana had not easily broken up the relationship between the two people. But it was not bad for them to be like this now. They both knew that they were lying, but they didn’t expose it. It should be regarded as respect to each other.
On the opposite side of the Michelin hotel was a Century Tower, which was separated by a river in the middle. When the wind blew, Vana felt a little dizzy. She leaned against the window to avoid the wind, but she couldn’t help but tempt to take another sip of the Tequila.
“Hey, are you okay?”
Someone was talking to Vana. She looked up at Charles with a smile and said, “I’m fine. I just have a headache because of the wind.”
“The party has begun. Let’s go and take a seat!”
As Charles spoke, he took the wine glass from Vana’s hand and put it on the table beside. Then Charles let Vana hold his arm and sat down with her on a table in the center. When Vana passed by the table in front of her, she suddenly saw a familiar face. But when she looked again, the man in a suit had already talked to the person beside her, and left with his back.
“That man…”
Vana wanted to ask Charles, but Charles patted the back of her hand and said, “Let me introduce you two!”
Then Charles pulled Vana to sit next to the two women. Charles put his arm around Vana’s shoulder and pointed at the beautiful woman in black dress beside Vana. “This is Miss. Murong, the daughter of Mr. Murong from the mobile industry in H Country. She likes collecting jewelry, and her favorite is Tahiti pearls!”
Vana immediately politely shook hands with her, but she was a little dizzy and forgot to introduce her name.
“Miss. Murong, this is the Vana Gu, I mentioned before. She is my sister-in-law. I hope you can take care of her in the future.”
“Sister-in-law?” Vana mumbled in a daze, but obviously Charles didn’t notice her mumble. He pointed at another woman in white dress next to Miss. Murong and said to Vana, “Vana, Mrs. Sun is also in jewelry business, but she took good design abroad for exhibition and introduced it to other buyers. She is a powerful boss!”
Charles flattered Mrs. Sun in front of herself, which showed how good the relationship between the two of them was. This time, Vana sat upright and stretched out her hand to Mrs. Sun. “I’ve heard of it. I admire you very much, Mrs. Laney!”
“You know my name?” Laney Long looked at Vana in surprise.
Vana immediately replied, “There are two senior jewelry appreciation masters in H Country. One is you, and the other is Mrs. Renee. To be honest, I’ve been studying jewelry design recently. I hope I can follow your steps and become an excellent person like you and Mrs. Renee.”
Laney Long had heard from Charles that his friend was engaged in the jewelry industry, and what Vana said now was nothing more than some polite praise to Laney Long, which was not completely true.
So Laney Long said politely, “I’m glad to see you so determined. If you have any doubts about jewelry in the future, you can come to me. I will solve them for you at any time!”
“That’s great.”
Vana was more and more excited. She didn’t know what she had talked to them later. Until the end of the dinner, Vana was getting more and more drunk.
During the dinner, Charles found something wrong with Vana. After all the guests left, Vana stood up and was about to leave.
But someone pressed her shoulder. She heard Charles say, “Are you sure you can send her back?”
Who? Who else?
Vana raised her eyes which were about to close, but when she turned her head, she only saw a blurred handsome face.
This man’s face was so familiar, but why didn’t she seem to know him?
“Damn it! Don’t stare at me. Can’t you just be quiet?”
The voice was familiar, but who was it?
“Kelvin, the wanted group of H Country is looking for you. It will be dangerous if you go out.”
Kelvin? Where did she hear of this name? She must… She must recall it.
“I have no choice. Simon’s people are looking for me. It seems that I have to go back first. Damn it, this woman is drunk. My plan can’t be carried out.”
Simon? Why did they mention Simon? Were they trying to hurt Simon? No, she had to stop them…
But Vana found that she had no strength to speak. Until the man who called Kelvin called Charles “brother” and leave, Vana fell into a deep sleep.
When Vana was asleep, she felt something was pricking her arm, and the swelling pain was very uncomfortable. Vana shook her body and tried to withdraw her arm, but someone immediately pressed her arm. The swelling pain did not disappear for a long time until someone whispered.
In the following time, Vana could feel that a very nervous person was holding her in a a bed, and that person did not fall asleep for a whole night. He had been blowing on her neck, and Vana did not hear a word. She just felt that the person was very noisy and wanted to beat him away. But when she smelled that man’s scent, Vana felt at ease. So she spent the whole night in a daze.
