Chapter 698: Chapter 698: An Old Acquaintance (part one)
"As long as it's what Duke wants to do, then he'll probably follow through. He's got a bad temper, and there's no telling what could happen. I thought you should know," Leena reminded her. She trembled a bit at the thought of Duke's previous actions, sending her back to Paris. Duke was very angry then. Fortunately, Kevin was with her and he took the brunt of it. Otherwise, Duke might have torn her to pieces.
"At the worst he'd yell at me. what else would he do?" Belinda said that, caring less about what Leena said. She did not know that in addition to yelling, Duke had various ways to make her beg him to stop.
"Miss, here is your wine. And, our boss told us all your orders are free tonight." The waiter said. And his words caught the attention of the three ladies. They looked at the waiter in surprise.
"Who is your boss and why is it free?" Belinda asked. She was wondering whether they had fallen into a subtle and deadly trap.
"I don't know either. But my boss said that Ms. Leng would know the reason. I'm sorry! I have to go now." The waiter said, giving a meaningful look at Leena. And then he turned and walked away.
Girl, tell me what the hell is going on! Is that the reason why you didn't want to come in just now? You know the boss here?" Belinda stared at Leena with a thoughtful expression on her face. She could not understand why Leena, such a naive young girl, had a friend who ran a nightclub?
"Uh! No. This is the second time I've been here. How could I know the boss? But I think the boss is Kevin's friend," Leena explained, looking around the bar. She did not tell them that Kevin was one of the co-owners of this nightclub. Kevin once mentioned that the soldiers could not go into business, so she didn't mention it to anyone, not even close friends or relatives. She didn't want to make trouble for Kevin.
"So, why did you have a problem coming here? Wouldn't it be nice to be friends with the boss?" Belinda felt more and more puzzled about Leena's attitude. And she was not persuaded by Leena's simple explanation. She still felt that there must be something she was holding back.
"I just felt embarrassed to walk into the bar just now. Maybe I don't feel like being in a place where anyone knows me." Leena pouted her lips. If they knew she was familiar with the boss here, they would ask again why and how she got to know the boss. She was not ready to answer their questions. She could never let them know what she had done to Kevin here. Leena thought to herself. It was a secret!
"Really? Girl, look at you now. You can't even make eye contact. I know you're holding something back. Tell me, girl. Why do you have a problem with this bar? What the hell is going on with you?" Belinda squinted her beautiful eyes, staring straight at Leena with a teasing smile. It seemed that she had prepared a long list of questions. In case Leena's answers still could not satisfy her, Belinda would throw more questions at her until she got the reason.
"I really don't know what's going on. I just did not want to come in just now and I don't know why. Just forget it Belinda, and let's just drink!" Leena could not look straight into Belinda's inquiring eyes. She hastily refilled Belinda's wineglass, hoping that the stubborn woman would stop asking questions..
"Just let it go. If she doesn't want to talk about it, don't force her. If the boss is Kevin's friend, then there is nothing to be suspicious about." Daisy picked up on Leena's tension and tried to get Belinda to stop her interrogation. Because Daisy appreciated Kevin's good character. If the boss was Kevin's friend, then the boss probably wasn't a bad guy.
"No, Daisy. Don't you think this girl is acting a bit odd today?" Belinda did not want to give up. As far as she was concerned, Leena must have something that she didn't tell them.
"Yes, I agree she's acting suspiciously. But why do you care? Everyone has their own little secrets. And if she doesn't want to talk about it, then it means it's not something that can be shared with us. So, just let her be!" Though Daisy was also curious about what was going on, she respected Leena's decision. And Daisy did not want to force Leena to talk about something which she was unwilling to share.
"Daisy, it is so kind of you to say that. So sweet. Not like someone who keeps questioning me as if I was a criminal. Not to say that the one doing that is my sister-in-law? She's acting like we're enemies, not family." As soon as Leena felt that Daisy was on her side, she started to tease Belinda in an gushing tone, and gave her a provocative look.
"Girl, you are too naive to understand the adult world. We're fussy with the sister-in-law, but we take good care of our sisters. You are my sister-in-law and Daisy's sister. Of course, Daisy and I do not get on with you in the same way because of our different views. Just as I said before, you should be thankful that you married early. Otherwise, just wait and see how I would abuse you 24/7."
Belinda did not care much about Leena's bluster, with her eyebrows raised slightly. If this girl had not been married, Belinda could imagine how lively the Leng House would be. At least, it would be a very pleasant thing to fight with this little girl every day.
"Are you sure you are my sister-in-law, not my stepmother?" Leena was not afraid of Belinda's threat at all. After all, if Belinda talked about it frankly, that meant she would not really do it, but was just playing tricks. Anyway, if Belinda was really that kind of vicious person, Leena wouldn't let her marry her brother, Duke. She wouldn't have even tried to arrange it.
"You can think whatever you like. But it depends on how I do it." Belinda took a sip of her champagne, turning her eyes to the center of the stage. She was attracted to the fast-paced melody and the inspiring music and would like to have a try.
For all the arguments between Belinda and Leena, Daisy always kept quiet and never intervened. It's because it had nothing to do with her, so she stayed calm. So, even if Belinda and Leena made a lot of noise, Daisy still maintained her usual calmness.
"Daisy, why don't we dance? Let's go!" After all, Belinda was a very active young lady, and she also had a bold character, being a professional woman. She watched the crowd dancing and swinging in the middle of the stage, and suddenly wanted to dance herself.
