Even if I hate him to death now.<\/p>\n<p>Sitting in a trance in the pub corner, suddenly I find that it is unusually quiet tonight.<\/p>\n<p>Looking around, I can only see a few people. Usually there are hundreds of people in this pub every night, but tonight, there are only a dozen people in total.<\/p>\n<p>They all sit in the largest open private room, watching the pole dancer on the stage with intense interest. Seen from their dresses, these people should be either rich or famous. Upper ones occasionally will come to this pub, but it&#8217;s the first time to see so many people at once.<\/p>\n<p>At this moment, Fiona, another waitress comes over. I hurriedly stop her and ask, \u201cWhat happened tonight?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t you know? Manager said in the meeting that someone booked the whole pub tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I seemed to be absent-minded in that meeting. I give Fiona an embarrassed smile, \u201cI know but I wonder who books it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know, seems to be a big shot. They must be generous with tips. Let\u2019s provide our best service.\u201d Fiona smiles and goes to the restroom for make-up fix.<\/p>\n<p>Staring at those playboys in the opposite direction, I don\u2019t have any interest. In the world, only Frances Louis can arouse my interest. I can only feel I am alive when seeing him. It\u2019s the hate to him that supports me till today.<\/p>\n<p>When Frances Louis shows up in the private room, I guess whether it\u2019s my illusion because I want to see him so much.<\/p>\n<p>I imagined all of this in my illusions before. I never expect one day it would come true.<\/p>\n<p>Now only them are in the whole pub, so I can hear clearly what they say.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrances, the pole dancer here is the most famous in Virginia, you don\u2019t know how many men will come here for her every night. Moreover, I heard that she is still a virgin. This birthday gift, I bet you like it, right?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For what I know about his taste, he should not like pole dancers.<\/p>\n<p>However, it\u2019s really hard to guess a man\u2019s thoughts, especially when this man is Frances Louis. Like I never thought Frances Louis would let me be his mistress. How can I understand him? See, after a second, his cold and low voice is heard. \u201cLet her in.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-285","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/285","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=285"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
