During the meal, Liz and Hazel kept giggling. Kara looked at them in confusion.
“What are you laughing at?”
Liz and Hazel looked at each other, “To have lunch with Eli and “Master Dustin”, we will have more today.”
“Master Dustin” was a private name called by the students of the Dance School.
“That’s right. Come, I can’t drink. But I’ll take water to thank the two of you.” Kara poured herself a cup of hot water.
“Since you want to thank me, let’s drink some liquor. The hot water won’t work.”
Dustin disagreed. He took the cup and asked the waiter to pour her some liquor.
“No, Dustin, I can’t drink,” Kara felt shamed.
“You want to thank me, but you won’t drink. Could it be that you look down on me?”
Dustin raised his eyebrows as if he would not let her go if she did not say anything.
“Of course not. I’m sorry, Master Dustin. My body is not in good condition. My ability to dilute liquor is three to five times worse than the average person, so I can’t touch liquor.”
Kara quickly explained. She frowned by merely smelling the liquor.
“She is in poor health and can’t drink. Let her drink hot water.”
Eli placed the teacup in Dustin’s hand in front of him. With a faint smile on his handsome face, he filled the cup with liquor.
“If you want to drink, I’ll accompany you.”
“I can’t drink. How boring.”
Dustin threw away the cup in his hand in disgust.
Kara pursed her lips. Dustin had helped her so much. He asked for a drink. It was indeed a little impolite to refuse him.
“Then I’ll drink a little. Thank you for your help, Dustin.”
Kara poured herself half a glass of liquor and took a sip. Her face immediately turned blushed.
“Kara, are you alright?”
Eli sat opposite her and wanted to stop her, but she had already drunk half the glass of liquor.
“The liquor tastes not good.”
Kara shook her shoulders and smiled with a bit of reluctance.
Dustin saw that she was sincere and did not make things difficult for her. He drank a glass of liquor.
Liz saw that Kara’s expression was a little abnormal and patted her on the back, “Kara, are you okay?”
“I should be fine,” Kara’s smile was brilliant.
Seeing that she was smiling brightly and did not want to pretend, everyone began to eat. It was rare for Liz and Hazel to meet Dustin. They admired him and listened to him seriously.
Kara lowered her head and ate. She felt like her stomach was burning after drinking a glass of liquor. She pressed it hard.
It was uncomfortable. She quickly got up.
“I’m going to the toilet. You guys eat first.”
She quickly walked to the bathroom and spat out what she had just eaten, covering her stomach in discomfort.
Feeling a little dizzy, she propped her hands against the bathroom and only recovered after a while.
She saw herself blushing in the mirror. She was not sensitive to liquor. How could she react so strongly after drinking a little?
Kara wanted to stay in the bathroom for a while longer. But at this time her phone rang.
Liz heard Kara’s phone ringing. The name sounded familiar and it should be her fiancé.
Liz wanted to wait for Kara to answer the phone, but after waiting for a while, Kara had not answered, and the phone called again.
“Kara’s fiancé is calling. Are we going to answer the phone?”
“Her fiancé?”
Dustin was curious and took a look. It was from Uncle James.
Why was his surname Hemming?
“Her fiancé is calling. Maybe there is something. You can pick it up.”
Liz frowned with a little hesitation, “This is not too good, right?”
After all, it was impolite to answer the phone without Kara’s permission.
“What’s wrong? The phone keeps ringing. He must be very anxious.”
Dustin shifted his position. Without waiting for Liz to stop him, he pressed the answer button.
“Kara, why didn’t you answer the phone?”
The deep voice was very magnetic and pleasant.
Liz and Hazel stared at the phone with intoxicated expressions.
“Sorry, we are eating with Kara, but she went to the toilet. If you have nothing urgent, why don’t you wait for her to come back?” Dustin explained.
“Who are you?”
The cold and questioning voice made everyone feel a chill.
Even though this man was on the line, his aura was so strong that it made others feel frightening.
“I am Kara’s classmate. May I know who you are?” Dustin frowned.
“Classmate?”
Eli, who was sitting next to him, did not expect Dustin to answer the call. He wanted to stop him, but when he heard James’s ridicule, he sighed helplessly.
“James, Kara has dinner with her roommates. We will go back to school later.”
When James heard Eli’s voice, he was stunned.
“Tell her to call me in five minutes.”
The man on the phone threw out an order and hung up.
“… ” Eli.
Dustin was shocked when he heard Eli call Kara’s fiancé cousin.
She was James’s fiancée!
Because he had been friends with Eli for the past few years, so he had met James a few times and always worshipped him.
He did not expect that he would like a woman like Kara.
When Kara returned, she saw that everyone was staring at her in confusion.
“Is there something strange about me?”
“Kara, you just had two calls. We were worried that there was something important, so we picked up.”
“Oh.”
Kara casually picked up her phone and almost made a call. When she saw that it was James, her expression changed.
“What did you say?”
“No, it means that you are having lunch with your roommates,” Liz quickly explained.
“I speak, too.” Eli reminded apologetically.
“…”
Kara glanced at Eli and apologized to everyone. She took her phone out to find a quiet place.
Kara bit her lower lip and dialed James’s number.
He quickly answered, “James,”
“You are having lunch with your roommates. Is Eli also your roommate?”
“No.”
Listening to his sarcastic voice, she clenched her fists.
“James, listen to me. Eli helped me today. That’s why I invited him. We are just friends. Don’t think too much of it.”
“What would I think?” The man questioned in a cold voice.
“…” Kara had a headache.
“Kara, you should study in college instead of fooling around with others!”
As soon as she heard him call her name seriously, Kara knew that he was angry. She pursed her lips and seemed upset.
“James, how do you define fooling around? Can’t you make friends when you are in college? Because of a lunch, you think I’m so bad. Then I don’t want to say anything more. Do as you wish.”
Kara hung up the phone and looked at the sky in confusion.
If she hung up the phone, James would be angry. However, she did not know what had happened just now. When she heard his words, she could not control her anger.
She did not feel good, and she had no appetite to eat. After greeting Liz, she turned back to school.
“Kara.”
Hearing the voice behind him, Kara turned around in confusion.
“Have you finished your lunch?”
“Sorry to trouble you.”
Eli walked to her side and saw her pale face. He was worried about her condition and wanted to touch her forehead, but she dodged.
Eli did not mind and stared at her worriedly.
“Are you alright? Do you feel uncomfortable?”
“I am not good.”
Kara shook her head and continued walking forward with her head lowered.
“Kara, do you feel depressed when you’re with James?”
Kara frowned and looked at him with confusion.
Why did she feel depressed when she was with James?
