Chapter 144
144 Karaoke
After sses, Lolita approached Jeslyn while leaving the building.
“Rose, what’s wrong? You’ve been moodytely.”
“Nothing, I’m fine.”
“I- I don’t think so.” Rubenstein disagreed while shifting his sses.
“Even the nerd knows,” Lolita smirked.
Reuben, who was about to say something, stayed quiet. He has gotten used to her bullying him so he
no longer protests. For the few months they’ve been together, the three of them have grown to
understand each other to the extent they’d say they were friends rather than ssmates.

“I think you need some fresh air and a ce to let out some emotions. You’re gonna explode if you
continue keeping it in.” Lolita suggested.
“I–I think that’s a good idea. After all, it’s Friday.” Reuben chimed in with a nod.
“Do you know any good ces?” Jeslyn asked.
“How about a club?” Lolita beamed. Seeing how the other two were looking at her like she killed
someone, she made another suggestion. “A bar?… No?… A massage parlor?… beauty parlor…
no?…”
“St–stop talking. A karaoke would do.” Reuben intervened.
“Mn, we go with Reuben’s idea.” Jeslyn concurred.
“Of course, he’s four–eyed, so he’s supposed to be more intelligent.” Lolita ttened her lips in
displeasure. Reuben seems to always outsmart her in everything. Whenever she gives an idea,
Reuben would jeopardize it. Just now, it was clearly her who brought up the idea but now, Reuben
seems to have been the hero who saved the day. For some reason, she had never liked this Reuben
guy. He gives her a weird feeling but it doesn’t mean they aren’t friends.
Jeslyn saw Lolita sulking and hit her on the back of her head. “Are you a baby?”
“I’m 22, that guy is 28, and you are 26, so yes, I’m a baby.”
“Hmm… putting it that way, it makes me feel like Reuben and I are too old for this music field where
children seem to be dominating,” Jeslyn said tly.
“You look 18. If you don’t tell your age, no one would know. But certainly not Reuben. Hey, older
brother, why didn’t you just stay at home? How would you sell your beauty while looking so advanced?
The music industry is owned by children and then grow old in it, not oldies bing musicians instead
of doing something worthwhile. Do you even know if you’ll be famous before you retire?” It might
sound like she was joking, however, Lolita knew she meant it. She doesn’t like this guy and wants him
to leave.
“I–I don’t need wealth and fame. I’m–I’m into this field because of someone.”
Lolita felt irritated seeing how he was behaving like she was bullying him. This guy is a good actor.
“Acting suits you better.” She rolled her eyes.
He nodded and said meekly; “I’ll consider it in the future.”

Just when Lolita was about to say something again, Jeslyn intervened. “Lolita, be nice.” She chastised.
She knew that Lolita didn’t like Ruben much and she wasn’t going to force the friendship but it was
wrong
of her to keep bullying the poor guy. Even though Ruben was 29, he looked 26, so what’s bad
about it?
“But I haven’t done anything wrong.” Lolita defended with a pout.
“You never see what you do wrong” Jeslyn sighed and continued forward, leaving Lolita to re at
Ruben who was doing his own thing; ignoring her.
At the karaoke that was also in the estate, the three got in wearing their uniforms. Wine knee–length
straight skirt, cream–colored sleeved shirt, and a wine–colored jacket. Paired with heels of their
choice.
Ruben was wearing wine trousers, a cream shirt, and a wine suit with ck shoes.
The two girls had their hair made into ponytails while Ruben was keeping long hair that was just below
his ear lobe.
They didn’t waste time at the entrance as the security men allowed them in after confirming their
identities.
The ce was simply beautiful but Jeslyn wasn’t in the mood to look at beauty. They entered the
private room and in no time, they were on stage singing to the music.
Even though the ce looked lively with Lolita jumping up and down and doing funny things that even
made Ruben loosen up andugh his guts out, Jeslyn wasn’t finding it funny.
All of a sudden, she took the remote and changed the song to a sad song, shocking her friends into
looking at her with worry.
It was one of Celestine’s heartbreak songs in her album called ‘moody‘. The album won the album of
the
year award and this particr song that Jeslyn was listening to was so depressing that it won an award
for the most depressing song of all time.
There’s a myth that once a person starts to listen or sing the song, it means they are hitting their rock
button. It’s no wonder the friends were worried.

I see you
Looking in her eyes and smiled
I pretend, I saw nothing
Andughed…
How do you tell me it’s a prank
When everything was so real
How do you tell me it’s a joke
When I saw you too… together
You broke me, I swear
12:43
It’s hurts so, I swear
I don’t know, how to live
It breaks me, I swear…
Don’t tell me to move on
When I can’t understand it
Don’t tell me to let go
When it feels like I’m choking

It hurts, it’s painful, it hurts, and I’m dying.
What to do when I don’t know how to go on…
How to feel alright, tell me

Thest time I checked
You were rubbing her bump
Laughing so hard, like I’m no funny
Laughing so hard, like I’m infertile
It hurts, it hurts
You broke me, I swear
It’s hurts so, I swear
I don’t know, how to live
It breaks me, I swear…
Don’t tell me to move on
