BXBX NOVEL Chapter 12 - 12: Groped
Inside the supreme private dining room.
Brandon had called almost all his buddies, but none of them could lend him some money.
The lady in white knew that Brandon had no money to pay, so she called in the security guards, who stood in the doorway, to keep an eye on Brandon. If Brandon could not fork out the money today, they would not allow him to leave the place.
“Quick. Think of a way, Brandon.” Mandy was nervous when she saw the security guards at the door.
“Don’t worry, I’ll call my dad and ask him to transfer the money.” There was nothing Brandon could do now. He never expected that things would unfold this way today. Not only did he fail to humiliate Connor, but he also lost face in front of his classmates.
“I’m going to the ladies’ room.” Mandy then carried her handbag and walked out.
“I’m going too,” May and Lily said in unison and left the private room, too, as if they were afraid that Brandon would borrow money from them.
The three girls were in the ladies’ room. May took out her makeup set, looked in the mirror, and started to touch up her makeup.
“Mandy, May, did you two notice that Connor looks like a changed man. He could fork out $70,000 and invite everyone to dinner; and his food delivery bag seemed to have a lot of money in it,” Lily said in a low voice while washing her hands.
“So, what if he invited everyone to dinner? Isn’t he still a food delivery guy?”
“The way I see it, he just wanted to show off and make himself feel better in front of Mandy after getting dumped,” May sneered.
“I must have been blind to date a broke guy like Connor back then. I really regret it whenever I think back about it. He spent his entire year’s savings to invite us to dinner. I reckon he might have taken a loan. I just don’t know what Connor is thinking,” Mandy also said with disdain.
“Absolutely. He is such a pretender.” Lily’s mouth twitched.
Smack!
Just then, a blond man walked in and smacked Mandy’s butt. He looked so drunk. “Hey, beautiful, why don’t we have a drink over there to get to know each other better?”
Mandy’s dress was a revealing strap cami with exposed shoulders. The most alluring part was her full bust. No normal man could resist such a sight.
After getting smacked on the butt, Mandy spun around and gave the man a fair one in return.
“Look at yourself in the mirror. Someone like you should perish the thought of inviting me to a drink. Don’t waste my time.”
After being together with Brandon, Mandy’s perception had broadened, and she had also acquired a hot temper. Especially after Connor invited everyone to dinner and paid for it, she was exasperated.
Now that someone had groped her, she would not play nice anymore.
The blond man was stunned after getting slapped. Then, he put his hand to his face and shouted, “B*tch, don’t take my kindness as a sign of weakness!”
“Aaaaah!” the blond man screamed in agony as he held his crotch and fell to his knees. Mandy had given him a good kicking in his crotch with her high heel when he was not paying attention.
“Rub your eyes so that you can see clearly next time. I am not someone who you can mess with,” Mandy snapped and walked out at once.
“Stinky d*ckheads like you have the nerve to invite Mandy for a drink.”
“You are just as disgusting as Connor!” May shot a scornful glance at the blond man and left the place.
“B*tches! You three had better watch out!” The blond man shouted while kneeling on the ground, holding his crotch in pain.
Mandy, May, and Lily did not take him seriously and went straight back to the private room.
When they returned, Mandy saw that Brandon was still talking to his father over the phone. She could even faintly hear Brandon’s father scolding him. It was a depressing scene, so everyone bowed their heads and said nothing.
Mandy knew that Brandon was in a bad mood right now, so she did not tell him about her being groped.
Twenty minutes later, Brandon’s father arrived at Brasserie Le Bernardin by car.
When Brandon saw his father’s car, he ran out to his father. “Dad, I have been having—”
A middle-aged man got out of the car and slapped Brandon in the face.
Smack!
He then glared at Brandon and berated him, “Who do you think you are? $70,000 for a meal? Once we reach home, I will teach you a lesson.”
The other classmates looked helplessly at Brandon. They had known Brandon for so long, and they had never seen Brandon look so embarrassing.
Being slapped by his father in front of everyone, Brandon could not feel more humiliated than that. He blamed it all on Connor. If it was not for Connor, he would not have been so embarrassed..
