Chapter 45: The Hangover Woman

I went back to the office, my heart weighing like a piece of lead, and I knew that I had really broken Anne's heart this time.

Even though I said what was really in my heart, I knew she might not be able to understand my thoughts.

On the contrary, it would make her feel that she was not a friend in my heart that I could trust, and that would make her more upset to her than to refuse her help.

I think I'll have to wait a few days for Anne to calm down and I'll explain it to her, but I don't know if she'll understand what I mean. I couldn't help but let out a long sigh when I thought of this.

"Sigh what? You should be happy that someone is willing to pay off your debts for you! ”

I don't know when Mu Xichun appeared in front of me, I didn't notice it.

Her words were obviously sarcastic, but at the moment I was really in no mood to argue with her, so I simply turned my head to the side and didn't bother to pay attention to her.

"Since you have such generous friends, can you pay back the money you owe me today?"

Mu Xichun obviously didn't mean to stop there.

"You are so anxious to ask for money, so why didn't you just accept it, why do you want me to go?"

I said this, thinking to myself that if that was the case, it would be fine, at least Anne wouldn't be so sad at the moment.

"Huh! The person who owes the money is you, why should I take money from others, even if I want to, I will ask you! ”

"In that case, then I'll pay you back slowly, haven't you almost deducted my salary every month! One person does things one person, I will pay off the money I owe you, you can rest assured! ”

"Oh? So you didn't take money from that beautiful friend of yours? ”

“……”

"Huh! I said, you are so aggrieved here every day, why don't you take the money sent by your friend to pay off your debts and leave, why are you still suffering here? Oh, I see, you must think that having a woman take the money to pay off your debts for you is detrimental to your masculine dignity! I didn't expect you to have a lot of backbone! ”

"Stinky girl, let me tell you, don't think that you can pinch me everywhere if I owe you a few dollars, I tell you, I will continue to do it until the day I pay off your money, I will leave cleanly."

"The days were still long before this, if you think that I can be at your mercy with this matter, I tell you that you are wrong, if you don't let me go with it, then everyone will be disgusted together! I'm not afraid of you! ”

I finally couldn't take it anymore, and I swore that if it was a man standing in front of me, I would greet me directly with my fist.

"Yo! It's a temper again! But please don't forget who you are, you are my assistant and secretary, and you still have to do your job well. ”

As he spoke, he threw down a document: "Sort out these documents, print a few copies and send them to various departments for the afternoon meeting." With that, he turned and left.

I almost tore the papers on the table to shreds as she gracefully turned away, but I finally held back, and I sat on the chair and gasped.

After work in the evening, I wondered if I should call Anne or explain it to her in person.

But as soon as I took out my mobile phone, the phone rang first, and I saw that it was the bar leader Ban Axiong, who told me that a company had chartered a bar tonight to hold a company party and asked me to hurry over and prepare.

I sighed and had to make amends to Anne later.

When I came to the bar, the bar was already overcrowded, and the bar, which could only accommodate a few dozen people, had at least 100 people at this time, and the whole bar suddenly seemed crowded.

Sure enough, as Ah Xiong said, several waiters were already busy and in a hurry, and when Ah Xiong saw me coming, Ah Xiong quickly pulled me to a slightly quiet corner and said, "Brother Wei, you are here!" ”

As he spoke, he took out a note from his pocket and continued: "The few drinks that the customer asked for are out of stock in our store, and I called the supplier, but they said that it would take two hours to deliver, I wrote them down, you see!" ”

I took it and looked at it, and it turned out that the customers were ordering a few more expensive foreign red wines, which are rarely in demand in bars, so they are not well stocked.

Busy said: "You continue to entertain guests, I will buy these immediately!" After saying that, he hurriedly left the bar and rushed to the mall.

When I came back, the party at the bar had already begun, and I could see that this was a relatively young company, and everyone seemed to be very open, talking and laughing loudly with each other without any scruples.

When the resident band of our bar arrived, it was even more climaxing, with young men and women taking turns to perform on stage, which occasionally attracted full applause.

This kind of atmosphere also made me feel a little infected, this is the culture of a company, such a group of young people are together, I am afraid that this company does not want to prosper, I think I should really let Mu Xichun come to see this atmosphere.

The party didn't end until midnight, when a young man who looked like a leader said a few words of concluding remarks, and the guests began to disperse.

When the company leader finished settling the bill and was about to leave, I glanced back at the bar and accidentally found a woman lying on a table in a corner, apparently having drunk too much.

I hurriedly called the leader who was just about to leave and said, "Alas, boss, please wait a minute! The man looked back at me quizzically, and I gestured to the corner. The man smiled helplessly at me and walked over.

He walked over and looked at the woman's face and looked up at me and said, "I don't know her, she's not from our company!" With that, he turned around and walked out of the bar.

I called Nobita and asked him when the woman had come in, and Nobita shook his head and said he didn't know either. All the waiters were called, but everyone said they didn't pay attention to when the woman came.

I waved my hand and motioned for them to continue cleaning. I couldn't help but frown at this unconscious woman who had already drunk, in fact, there are often such customers in the bar.

However, most of the people who come to the bar to consume will not be alone, there will always be some sober people, and there are really a few people who come alone to buy drunk like now.

I nudged her shoulders and whispered in her ear, but the woman didn't respond, and I increased my strength and volume a little more, but it was still in vain.

It seems that even if she is thrown into the moat at this moment, she will not wake up. I saw a handbag on the couch next to her, and thought to myself, it seemed like I had to use one last resort.

I opened my handbag and pulled out her phone, and at the moment I could only call her relatives and friends to ask them to come and pick them up.

When I opened my phone and saw that her phone actually had a lock screen password, I suddenly felt a wave of despair, how unlucky it must be to encounter such a coincidental tragedy.

By this time, the waiters had finished cleaning, and I motioned for them to leave work first, and they were all tired tonight. Ah Xiong asked me, "What about this one?" ”

"What can she do if she can't wake up and can't reach her relatives and friends? You go back and rest first, let her sleep here for a while, and I'll watch here. I said helplessly.

Ah Xiong squinted his eyes, glanced at me with bad intentions, and said with a smile: "Brother Wei, then don't do anything illegal!" ”

I slapped him in the face and pretended to be annoyed and said, "Fuck off! Ah Xiong smiled and walked away.

The bar, which was still full of people just now, instantly became smelly as the crowd dispersed, which inevitably made people feel like they were walking for tea.

I lit a cigarette and lay down on a couch next to me, my legs stiffened a little after a busy night.

I thought of Anne again, and I was going to apologize to her, but I didn't expect this to happen, and I don't know if Anne is still angry.

I took out my phone and looked at the time, it was almost two o'clock in the morning, probably Anne was resting at the moment, so I dismissed the idea of calling her.

As I lay on the couch and smoked a cigarette, I somehow remembered my past with Anne. Anne and I have known each other since high school, eight years ago.

Although we come from very different backgrounds, I am a rural child, and I grew up with only poverty and the hardships caused by poverty.

But Anne is a child of a family, her mother is a professor in medical school, and her father is a high-ranking government official, needless to say, her living conditions are superior.

But that didn't stop us from being friends, and from the first time I knew her, Anne had never been a worldly person.

She is quiet and kind, has no quarrel with the world, and can talk happily with anyone, without the slightest rich man's detached personality and eldest lady's temper.

In my memory, it seems that everyone likes her very much, which makes her different at that age when she likes to show off her superiority as a bragging capital.

This may be the reason why I was able to become her friend, knowing that I was a melancholy teenager who closed himself off because of low self-esteem.

Our friendship continued from high school to college. When I went to university, my mother's health was already deteriorating, and I wanted to be able to take better care of my mother, so I went to a provincial university closer to home.

I didn't expect to meet Anne again on the college campus, which made me overjoyed, knowing that Anne's grades have always been the best in her age, and it is definitely not difficult to get into a better university, let alone the resources in her parents' hands.

This has undoubtedly deepened our friendship. It was only much later that I realized that Anne had chosen this school solely because of me.

The tragic death of my mother in my sophomore year was one of the darkest years of my life and almost interrupted my studies.

Because my mother has told me more than once: We come from poor backgrounds, and the only chance to get ahead is to study.

Although I followed my mother's teachings and studied hard to go to university, my real wish was not to excel in my ancestors, but to be able to give my mother a better life in the future.

The sudden death of my mother made me lose my direction for a moment, and this so-called university no longer means anything to me, or my current attitude towards life cannot be said to have anything to do with it.

I can't deny that in the darkest and most confusing days of my life, my life would have changed completely without Anne, and it was Anne who pulled me back from the edge of the abyss and put me back on track.

So over the years, I have been telling myself in my heart that even if I fail the whole world, I must not fail Anne, because I know that this is what I owe her, and it will take a lifetime to pay it back.

However, now I have not only failed to do anything for her, but have hurt her, how can this not make me haunted.
