Chapter 1385
But now, Ida was the big cheese at Crescent Society. He couldn’t afford to piss her off.
He grabbed a bottle of booze from the table, poured half a glass for Ida, and then filled up his own glass to the brim. “Ida, I was just pulling your leg. Did you really get mad? Either way, my bad. Here’s a toast to you. Even if you’re not willing to give me a chance now, I’ll keep trying to show you that I’m for real.”
With that, he put down the bottle, downed his own glass in one gulp, and then looked at Ida provocatively. “I’ve done my part. It’s your move now, Ida.”
Due to the loud music, Ida didn’t catch everything her ex-boyfriend just said. But since he had already poured the drinks, it would be rude not to take a sip.
However, just as she lifted her glass, someone grabbed her wrist.
“Don’t drink.”
Byran grabbed Ida’s wrist, not letting her drink what that guy poured for her.
Ida blinked in surprise. She then lifted her head to look at Byran’s gloomy face.
“Let go of me.” She said while looking quite displeased.
Byran frowned, trying to soften his tone. “Ida, you should stop drinking and go home. You have to get up early for work tomorrow.”
Ida waved him off. “Tomorrow’s the weekend. I don’t have to get up early. Go home; don’t let your brother worry about you.”
Byran took a deep breath, trying to keep his anger in check. “We’ll talk tomorrow. This place is too loud for a serious talk. Come on, I’ll take you home.”
With that, he tried to pull Ida up from her seat.
He did manage to pull her up, but he couldn’t get her out of there because someone grabbed her other arm.
It was Ida’s ex. He was not letting Byran take her away. Two guys with one girl in the middle, neither willing to let go.
Byran turned around and saw that the guy had the audacity to touch Ida. He couldn’t hold his anger any longer. “You better let go right now. Don’t touch my girlfriend!”
Ida’s ex just laughed. “Your girlfriend? Ida didn’t tell me she had a boyfriend. You’re so young; don’t you think you’re being a bit presumptuous?”
Byran gritted his teeth. “Are you going to let go or not?”
The ex taunted him. “You’re the one who should let go.”
Knowing Byran’s temper, Ida, in order to prevent him from blowing up, calmly said to her ex, “Let go.”
Although he was reluctant, he did as Ida said and let go.
Then Ida left the private room with Byran.
Once they were out in the hallway, it was much quieter. Ida gave Byran a serious look and said, “You’re still a student; what are you doing in a place like this? Go home right away; don’t make your family worry about you.”
Byran furrowed his brows, his face full of determination. Yet his eyes looked like a little puppy that sensed it was about to be abandoned by its owner. His eyes gave off a feeling of unease and fear.
