Chapter 578


    Natalie gave Skr a thumbs–up and praised her, “Skr, you’re such a brave woman! How did


    you gather the courage to hang up on Joe? Do you know how scary he is?”


    Natalie did not encounter Joe frequently. She could count the number of times they had met with


    just one hand, and each encounter was terrifying.


    Skr was talented. She wasn’t scared of Joe at all.


    “How scary could he be? It’s not like he could seek me out here. I’ll sleep at your ce tonight.”


    Natalie agreed without hesitation. She rejoiced, “Excellent! I’ll get another flute of champagne. I’m


    telling you, I’ve got a lot of alcohol with me here. We can drink as much as we want!”


    She stood up shakily and stumbled over to her wine cab.


    Before she reached it, the doorbell rang.


    “Who’s that?”


    Natalie headed toward the door. Although she was drunk, she remained vignt. Natalie looked out


    of the peephole only to see an expressionless yet handsome face.


    “Joe?”


    As she opened the door, Natalie turned back to Skr and said, “You’re right. Joe has found you


    here!”


    When Skr heard Natalie say that, she sobered up slightly and asked, “What did you say?”


    Had she misheard? Had Joe sought her out? How had he found her?


    As questions raced through Skr’s addled mind, she saw Joe standing by the door.


    Joe would always be the center of attention no matter where he was. Even if one didn’t know


    his identity, they would be attracted by his outstanding looks and gorgeous figure. Skr saw him


    immediately.


    Skr gulped and asked, “How did you find me here?”


    Joe red at her. When he saw Skr gawking at him, he knew that she’d been drinking. Joe said,


    “I’ll take you home.”


    “Oh, alright, thank you,” said Skr. She stood up and walked toward Joe. When she did so, her


    head spun.


    “Hey, why are there two Joes? Which one is real?”


    Skr pointed at Joe. Then, her finger shifted slightly to the side.


    Natalie could handle her alcohol better than Skr. Especially after meeting Joe, his chilly


    demeanor sobered her right up. After a brief moment of speechlessness, sheined, “You


    graduated years ago. Why can’t you hold your liquor?”


    or der


    “I’m not drunk,” Skr adamantly denied.


    Which part of her looked drunk?


    She stumbled to Joe. When she approached him, she tripped and tipped to her side.


    Joe caught her in time and mocked, “Stubborn woman.


    Skr could barely walk in a straight line. Yet, she was still insisting that she wasn’t drunk.

    Natalie frowned. She warned him, “Joe, you better treat Skr well. You mustn’t cheat on her! If


    not, I’ll make you suffer!”


    Skr had been betrayed once. She couldn’t go through it once more. It hurt too much.


    Joe stared intently at Natalie. He hummed in acknowledgement. It made tears well up in Natalie’s


    eyes.

    Once Joe left with Skr, Natalie curled into the couch. She hadn’t felt anything while Skr was


    there.


    Now that she was alone at home, the alcohol began draining from her system. Her brain cleared


    up.


    At that moment, someone called. The chime of her phone broke through the silence.


    Natalie looked down at her phone. When she saw that it was Jeremy calling, her heart throbbed


    painfully.
