Star Bar

The special car had already been waiting on the roadside. Taylor stared blankly at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau for a long time, until the special car driver kindly reminded her. Then she resolutely got in the car and went back.

Maybe she was relieved, or maybe she was pretending to be strong, but who would care?

The special car whizzed away, and then a white Chevrolet suddenly appeared from a corner and followed quietly.

Shigella Building.

Jake had completely adapted to the people and things there. With Cabel, a social expert, there was almost no one he didn't know, and he always appeared in time when Jake was embarrassed.

Ever since the four members of their group were singled out for praise by Manager Mina, they aroused envy and jealousy from other groups.

The soul of the group, Jake, was also favored by the female colleagues in the sales department because of his superior appearance and outstanding abilities. For a time, Jake was in the limelight.

Mina noticed this interesting male subordinate because of Jake's increasingly outstanding abilities.

At noon, the four members of Jake's group had lunch together in the cafeteria.

"Jake, before you came, no one wanted to join our team. Thanks to you, our team's performance is much better now, and we have received a lot of bonuses. I will treat you to a meal when I have time." Lily said to Jake sincerely.

"Lily, it's not your turn yet. My brother Jake and I haven't used the three-day and two-night foot-washing curling package yet." Cabel put his arm on Jake's shoulder, patted him from time to time, and laughed.

Jake pushed Cabel's fat hand away with disdain, his face full of helplessness: "Get lost, you're such a stubborn person, no wonder you don't have a girlfriend."

Cabel didn't care at all, and nodded at Lena and Lily, "Don't I still have these two?"

Lily didn't care. After thinking for a while, she said sincerely, "Brother Cabel, if you lose some weight and exercise, I think you can still compete with Jake. For now, forget it."

Lena seemed to have stepped on a thorn, and said impatiently and angrily: "Go away, don't rely on me, I don't like you!"

"You stinking loser, you still dare to daydream... Hey, isn't this Coleman?"

"I'm full, you guys continue." After saying this, Lena walked away.

If Jake had not heard Lena's inner voices, he would not have noticed that Lena's gaze had already shifted to a middle-aged man behind her.

"Isn't this Team Leader Coleman? Are they very familiar with each other?" Jake thought to himself.

"Look, you made Sister Lena angry and left!"

"No way."

Lily and Cabel started to argue with each other.

Jake enjoyed this relaxed and cheerful atmosphere, except that Lena was present.

"By the way, Jake, in a few days the team will select the personnel who will go on a business trip next week. Good luck to you. I have high hopes for you."

"Selection? What does that mean?" Jake was puzzled.

"Hehe, you don't know that my goddess has her own rules." Cabel began to be complacent again.

Lily shook her head helplessly and said, "Let Brother Cabel talk. I'm afraid he will be suffocated to death. Haha."

"You also know that my goddess is very capable in business, so every time we discuss some big projects, we will choose someone to go on business trips with her. The travel expenses can be subsidized a lot, which is a lucrative job. Moreover, we can get close to my goddess and spend wonderful nights with her..."

"Don't force me to slap you." Jake was speechless.

"Great, great, great! I can go on business trips with Manager Mina, stay in five-star hotels, and have the opportunity to learn from her. This kind of good thing has been monopolized by other team members in previous years, but this year you are here, so I think there is hope!"

Cabel felt so happy after hearing so many words in one breath.

Lily also added with a smile: "Those who came back from business trips with Manager Mina all became the best in each group, and some even became the general leaders of the entire sales department. Tell me, is the income high?"

Jake secretly clicked his tongue. He believed that Manager Mina had the ability and confidence to allow those who went on the business trip with her to learn some useful knowledge.

However, those selected team members must also be outstanding in their abilities. They just needed some guidance from an expert before they could make great achievements. This was a good opportunity for Jake.

"Is it the current Team Leader Coleman?" Jake tried to get some useful information.

"Of course not. It is said that Team Leader Coleman is the nephew of Director Brant, so he replaced the team leader chosen by Manager Mina." Lily said in a low voice.

"Shh, that's not allowed!" Even the usually carefree Cabel started to be cautious.

"Clear."

Ding. Jake's phone vibrated.

"What's wrong? It's your sister-in-law again?" Cabel asked with concern.

Jake opened his phone and took a look at WhatsApp. The avatar was his aunt, and the message was as follows: Jake, are you free now? Drink with me. (Exact location of the bar)

Jake's heart seemed to snap. He understood that his aunt needed him at that moment. Thinking of his aunt being drunk at home, if no one was around, something would inevitably happen to such a beautiful woman like his aunt in a noisy environment like a bar.

"Brother Cabel, please help me pour the plates. Lily, please ask for leave from my supervisor for me. I have important things to do. Thank you."

After saying that, Jake put on his suit jacket and ran away in a hurry.

"Hey, I haven't told Jake yet. You have to ask for leave by yourself." Lily said to herself as she watched Jake running away.

"Don't be afraid, Lily, I'll treat you. How can such a small matter stump me" Cabel boasted so freshly and naturally.

"Hey, Lily, why did you kick me?"

Star Bar.

Jian sat in a corner of the bar, looking around. Although it was daytime, there were quite a lot of people coming to the bar.

After all, it was a quiet bar. People who came there liked to listen to music, chat, and cool off.

The melodious piano sounds mixed with the full and soulful singing of the female singer on the stage, while patrons drank some cold wine and enjoyed the beautiful life that belonged to everyone.

But the reality was cruel. There was no shortage of people who had suffered emotional setbacks or were facing great twists and turns. They used alcohol to release the pressure that had been suppressed in their hearts for a long time. Perhaps at that moment, their heavy hearts could finally relax for a moment.

Twenty minutes earlier, Jian had followed Taylor all the way to that bar. Not long before, he had witnessed the divorce of Taylor and her husband with his own eyes. He felt no emotion at all and instead laughed faintly.

As Taylor's ardent admirer, Jian had been unable to approach her due to her married status. There was no telling how many perverts were staring at that beautiful wife and dignified teacher.

Jian was just the bravest one, and that was not the first time he had followed someone.

He even knew the exact address of Taylor's new home. Now he finally caught Taylor feeling frustrated in love and alone again.

Jian had still been thinking about finding a reason to visit Taylor's house, but he hadn't expected that the usually warm and kind teacher Taylor would come to the bar. He immediately realized that it was an opportunity.

From a distance of about five or six tables, Jian's eyes were already unscrupulously staring at Taylor, who was sitting at the table, drinking wine in small sips. He didn't even notice the contemptuous looks from the waiters around him.

Taylor seemed to be in high spirits at that moment. She would order a glass of vodka or tequila every five minutes.

The blush gradually appearing on her face made her more charming. Many men around with their partners noticed that extremely beautiful mature woman drinking alone, but because of the presence of their girlfriends, they could only suppress the restless hearts in their bodies at all times.

Taylor had her back to Jian, so Jian could only use his eyes to fantasize and molest the sexy and hot back of the beautiful teacher.

A light blue tight-fitting short-sleeved top and a white fishtail skirt—such an ordinary outfit still made her stand out from the crowd and exude charm.

Jian estimated the time and planned to wait until Taylor was half-drunk before going over and pretending to meet her by chance.

He would then pay the bill like a gentleman and have a few drinks with Taylor. After the alcohol had taken effect, he would take Taylor to the hotel and pamper her.

Even if Taylor turned against him afterward, Jian could pretend to be immoral after drinking and then threaten Taylor to file a complaint first.

But plans could not keep up with changes. Before Jian could take any action, strange men began to sit near him intentionally or unintentionally. One or two even tried to strike up a conversation, though they were all rejected.
