Chapter 12 Jenna quickly grabbed Nate's arm and shook her head . " Saying that isn't right . Curtis didn't ask me to wait . Besides , he's officially Marceline's husband now . If I really had feelings for him , how would I be different from a mistress ?" Others quickly joined in to advise her . " Jenna , you're too concerned about appearances . Even if you and Curtis were completely innocent , do you really think Marceline still wouldn't believe there's something going on between you two ? " Last time she showed up and saw you , she almost slapped you . Even I felt angry just watching it . " " Alright , enough of this talk " Jenna looked at Curtis . Upon sensing that something was off about him , she asked , " Are you feeling unwell ? Maybe you should head home first . " Curtis ' eyes remained closed , but his lashes trembled slightly . " I'm fine . I'm just thinking about something " His gaze was lowered , hiding whatever he was thinking until the door of their private room opened , and in walked Zachary Zachary and Curtis got along pretty well . That was , at least on the surface . A trace of of surprise flashed across Zachary's eyes . He glanced at the room number and said with a faint smile , " Sorry , wrong room . " Everyone knew Zachary , but this group was closer to Curtis . Still , they politely greeted him . " Zachary , you're back from your business trip . " " Yeah . You guys carry on . I'm meeting a few clients next door . " , not only was he only was he gentle and kind to everybody , he was also refined and All of them knew Zachary had a demanding job . On top of that , handsome . There wasn't a single person who didn't like him . Some present were close enough with him to immediately notice a lipstick mark on his collar . " Zachary , did you get a girlfriend ? I see lipstick on your collar . " Others immediately turned to look , their faces lighting up with nosy curiosity . " Zachary , you're just two years older than Curtis . He's been married for three years , yet there's still no news from your side . Mrs. Wolfe Senior must be getting anxious . " Zachary stood off to the side with a smile on his face . " I'm in no rush . She e can't really show her face right now anyway . When the time's right , I'll bring her around for you all to meet . " The others immediately started teasing him , all eager to know who the woman was that had managed to catch his eye . However , Zachary simply glanced at his watch . Then , he made up an excuse and left . All the while , Curtis didn't say a single word . Meanwhile , someone kept the banter going " Zachary's standards have always been high . All these years , I don't think we've ever heard of him liking anyone , have we ? " " I remember years ago , didn't he save a little girl or something ? Once , when drunk , he called her his first love . " " But nobody knows who that girl is . It looks like he's waiting for her . Hopefully , she's not married yet . " " Hahaha , come on now . Given Zachary's personality , even if she is married , he'd stubbornly wait for her to get divorced . After all , once he sets his heart on someone , he'd never let go . " As soon as those words were said , the wine glass in Curtis ' hand shattered in his grip , and blood dripped steadily from his palm Startled , Jenna shuddered and quickly reached for some tissue . " How could you be so careless ? " But instead of accepting the tissues , Curtis lowered his head and pulled out the shards from his palm . This caused the blood to flow even more , and it quickly pooled on the floor . Just watching it made the others wince Everyone around him started to panic , but Curtis simply stood up calmly and said , " I'm going home . " " Curtis , you need to get that wound treated immediately Otherwise , it'll be painful if it gets infected . " " Don't let it get infected . I'll take you to the hospital TM Chaole That last sentence was from Jenna . She had already grabbed her coat and was about to stand up . But Curtis simply strode out . " No need . Ken's waiting for me outside . " Enjoy Ad Free Readings
