Love My Friends with Benefits

Chapter 10: Bar Hop

Obviously, he did not care about me. He had gone to such lengths to dump me for Phoebe's sake. Why

was I still so hung up on him?

As I was driving, May suddenly called me.

"Where are you?" she asked the moment I answered the phone.

I could hear the pounding of music and the roar of the crowd in the background.

"I'm driving."

"Come to Rave Bar and let me introduce you to someone new. Stop obsessing over all that

troublesome stuff. Rome wasn't built in a day, you know..."

Since I was feeling frustrated, I agreed to May's suggestion immediately.

Around ten minutes later, I arrived at Rave Bar. It was more of a club than a bar, and it was much

noisier than Greeny Bar.

Though I liked to bar hop, I did not usually go for such noisy ones. At the moment, however, I just

wanted a place to vent my unhappy unhappiness.

When I entered, I saw May sitting in a corner. She had two men with her, probably the people that she

wanted to introduce me to.

I went over and greeted them. May was sitting with one of the guys on one side of the table, leaving an

empty chair next to the other guy.

When I sat down, I found him looking at me oddly. His hair was artfully styled and he had a black shirt

on with two of the buttons undone, vaguely showing off a muscular chest.

His skin was fair, and he had a tall nose and thin lips. His eyes carried a hint of sensuality.

He was the type of guy that could easily attract a woman, especially in such a setting. However, I was

not really interested in him.

Perhaps it was because I was in a bad mood, or perhaps it was because of Leonard. I realised that he

had somehow managed to settle himself in my heart, and it was as if no one else could compare.

I would subconsciously compare all the men that I had met with Leonard, which was why I was already

sure that this guy was not my type.

"Let me do the introductions, then. This is Queena Jones, my best friend. She's a sales director in a big

company and is currently single..."

I had already gotten used to May's sales pitch. She would occasionally find someone that she felt was

good for me, then give them this exact speech. I could only smile noncommittally.

These two guys were new faces, though. I was even wondering whether the guy sitting next to May

was her latest fling, judging by the intimate way they were acting with each other.

In this respect, I truly admired May. Unlike me, she would not allow herself to be so hung up on one Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

guy, and she always ended things with a clean break.

"Hello, my name's Austin Smith. I've heard of you before, and they're all good things..." The guy next to

me said as he reached out a hand.

I was a little taken aback. I did not understand what he meant when he said that he had heard of me

before. Did he know me?

However, my hesitation was quickly covered up by May's booming laughter. She said, "Queena, don't

be surprised. Austin works for a large overseas investment firm, and he's just returned to the country to

take charge of its operations here. Maybe you guys will have a lot of opportunities to work together in

the future!"

As I listened to May's introduction of Austin, I robotically reached out a hand to shake his. He gazed at

me meaningfully.

From the look in his eyes, I could tell that he probably just wanted to sleep with me. I was not really

interested in him, though.
