Chapter 1171 Shaken Awake From A Sweet Dream


    The elevator arrived with a "ding" and everyone tried to rush into it to run away from the scene which


    was about to unfold. They called out to Sheryl and I, "The elevator is here. We are leaving now.


    Bye!"


    Others echoed, "Yes, it''s time for us to go." They were trying to avoid the embarrassing situation. The


    elevator was overloaded and some of them couldn''t get in. They decided to take the stairs rather than


    wait for the next elevator. Sheryl watched their ridiculous show without saying a word.


    Rachel saw everything from her booth, and she smiled proudly. This was the kind of effect that she


    wanted to see.


    But she wanted Sheryl to witness this with her own eyes. She wanted to destroy her happiness and her


    trust in Charles. Thinking about Sheryl''s reaction when she saw them together, she couldn''t hide her


    smile.


    "Charles, how do you feel right now?" asked Rachel gently. She acted innocent, as she slowly gave


    him a massage. She added, "Is this pressure okay with you? I learned this method while I was filming


    the traditional Chinese medicine movie a long time ago. It was written in the script that this massage to


    the chest would dispel the effects of alcohol. I''m not sure if it''s effective or not. Do you feel any better?"


    "It doesn''t work," said Charles coldly. After they entered the booth, Rachel asked him to lie down


    because that would spark wild theories in people when they saw them. It would have been more


    effective to the development of her n. But Charles wouldn''t listen to her and sat on the sofa instead.


    She was annoyed that he had not cooperated with her. Besides, she even had some difficulty having


    him stay in the booth with her.


    "That''s how this massage works. You won''t feel any immediate effect after the massage, but it''s the


    most harmless treatment for your body," said Rachel in a convincing tone. She wanted Charles to stay


    in the booth as long as possible so that more people, especially Sheryl, could see them in the same


    room, being intimate with each other. ''My poor Sheryl, how would you feel when you see this?'' Rachel


    thought and smirked happily.


    There was music ying in the booth. Thebination of the dull light and the soft music gave off an


    aura of romance.


    It was not possible to hear what they were talking about from outside the booth, but from Rachel''s


    smiling face, it would be evident to anyone that she was really enjoying her time with Charles.


    She was so close to him that it looked like he was holding her in his arms. He did not reject her at all.


    I was about to rush into the room to catch his cheating on Sheryl, but at that very moment, when she


    stepped out towards the booth, she was pulled back by Sheryl very quickly.


    "I, don''t enter that box!" Sheryl requested. Sheryl was pretty thin and always looked so weak. I


    wondered how she had such explosive strength to pull her back like that!


    "Sher, do you understand the situation here? Why won''t you let me in? He is inside this booth! With


    another woman! That malicious woman!" said I disappointingly. I had thought that Sheryl would


    be the first one to confront those shameless people because it was her right to do so. But Sheryl chose


    to stay outside the booth.


    "I, please don''t let me lose thest of my dignity! I beg you not to go in there, please! I don''t want to


    see her swaggering before me. I don''t even want to talk to them!" said Sheryl in a bleak voice. She was


    shivering, desperately pulling I back. She clung onto I''s hands as if she was clinging onto a


    floating wood as she was drowning. I was providing her with immensefort just by staying by her


    side.


    I didn''t want to stimte Sheryl anymore, so she held her tightly andforted her. She said, "Don''t


    be afraid, Sher. Whenever and wherever you need me, I will always be there for you. I will never leave


    your side." She felt sorry for Sheryl. She was a very good friend, a great mother and a loyal wife. Why


    would Charles make her suffer this way?


    "Then, leave with me. I don''t want to stay here any longer, not even for another second. It makes me


    sick to even think about them," said Sheryl firmly. Her breath was shallow and her heart was heavy.


    She felt like she was about to pass out any second now. She might lose her head if she stayed there a


    minute longer.


    She felt like she would suffocate to death. She kept wondering why her beloved husband would stay


    with the woman who wanted to set her up and embarrass her in front of the whole city.


    And Charles knew very well that Rachel was the one who wanted her to lose her reputation. He knew


    that she was an evil woman! Even after knowing everything about her, he still allowed her to sit next to


    him in such a flirty manner.


    What was he thinking? Did he still love Rachel? Sheryl did not want to know the answer to that.


    "Okay, let''s go. Don''t think about them anymore," I agreed. She thought that Sheryl might feel better


    if she left the ce soon. I could not bear to see Sheryl''s saddened face, so she changed her mind


    temporarily. After all, Sheryl''s happiness was the most important thing to her. It was not the proper time


    to show up in front of them.


    Sheryl and I had to wait near the box for the elevator toe. Sheryl tried her best not to look at


    them, not even a nce. But she could feel Rachel''s challenging look. She knew that Rachel had been


    paying attention to her ever since she had arrived near the booth.


    But Rachel was not satisfied by Sheryl''s pale face, she wanted her to suffer more! She sat closer to


    Charles and lowered her head. From where Sheryl stood, it looked like they were kissing.


    She was so close to breaking down. Her world was copsing.


    It took forever for the elevator toe. When it finally arrived, she got in quickly, as if it could protect


    her from all harm. She tried not to look at what they were doing in the box, or she would be disturbed.


    Rachel was so delighted to see that Sheryl was defeated and had fled. She finally had her revenge. If


    Sheryl didn''t exist, she would be Charles'' lover. It was all Sheryl''s fault.


    "Rachel, what are you looking at?" asked Charles. He was ready to go back to his own booth.


    He had wanted to figure out whether Lance had had any part to y in the plot against Sheryl. That


    was why he had agreed to go to Rachel''s booth with her. He also wanted to know if Lance woulde


    looking for him since he hadn''t been back in a long time.


    If Lance came looking for him, it would prove that Lance had nothing to do with Rachel''s ploys.


    But what he had not expected was Sheryl''s involvement in all this. If he had known that Sheryl was at


    Lavender Bar that night, he would not have chosen this method to sound out Lance''s and Rachel''s


    intentions. Thest thing he wanted was to break Sheryl''s heart.


    "I wasn''t looking at anything, Charles. I just noticed that we forgot to close the door. Would you wait a


    minute? I''ll close it so that no one sees you in my booth." She hid the truth that Sheryl and I had


    been right outside for a while. Anyway, they had already taken the elevator downstairs. She had


    nothing to worry about.


    It would be great if her passionate massages could remind him of their past and they could have a


    chance to spend this night together. After all, she had been longing for this for such a long time.


    "No need for that," Charles refused without a second thought. Rachel did not expect Charles to be so


    alert. He got up to leave. "It''s gettingte. I should go home."


    It had been a while since he hade to her booth. During this time, no one had tried to look for him.


    He had his answers. He figured that Rachel and Lance were trying to cover up something. As for


    Rachel, he had seen through her n when she said she was going to close the door.


    He had no reason to force himself to stay with her any longer.


    "Charles, you are drunk and I have not finished the massage yet. If we stop here, our efforts would be


    wasted. Why don''t you let me finish it?" she demanded. She had tried so hard to get him stay there


    with her. She would try everything to stop him from leaving.


    "Our efforts would be wasted?" Charles said in a mocking tone. His expression changed. He asked


    indifferently, "Rachel, are you afraid that the efforts you put into this massaging would be wasted, or are


    you actually afraid that you will gain nothing from the efforts you have made tonight?"


    "Charles, I am afraid I don''t know what you are talking about," Rachel said, slightly panicking. She was


    afraid that he would guess her real purpose. She pretended to have not done anything wrong.


    "You don''t know? Why don''t you ask your partner, Lance? Rachel, don''t take me for a fool. I did drink a


    lot, but I''m not drunk! I know exactly where I am, and it is pretty obvious what you are trying to do."


    Since he got the answers he was looking for from her actions, he didn''t want to continue giving her


    hope. He knew what she had done to Sheryl. He wanted her to go through the same pain Sheryl had


    suffered.


    A woman so vicious deserved it.


    "Charles... I... I don''t know what you mean. I don''t follow you." She pretended as if she knew nothing


    about Lance''s n. She thought that if she yed innocent, Charles might be fooled.

    "Get out of the room, right now! You don''t need me to say that again, do you?" Charles demanded. He


    was disgusted by her so much that he did not want to continue talking to her. She looked so miserable


    and pitiable, but all her misery was caused by her own conduct. Nobody would show any pity for her.


    All her pitiable looks were just some kind of pretension to Charles.


    "I... I did not do anything wrong! How can you treat me like this?" She was unwilling to ept that


    Charles had seen through everything.


    She did not understand why she had to lose him again when she had nearly won his heart. Rachel was


    shaken awake from her sweet dreams!
