Honey You Are My Lucky Star (Callen and Chelsea)

Chapter 80

I explain to Louie in a hurry, "I didn't follow them. I was walking by when I got bumped into the room."

What an unlucky day! I went to the bathroom, and then all hell broke loose.

"Don't worry. I believe you."

Louie's lips curl into a smile as he speaks gently to me.

I gradually relax. Thank God he believes me. I don't care if he's telling the truth. We're strangers anyway.

But the whore speaks again, "What a hypocritical society. Some people are full of lies."

"You tell me!" Another whore adds, "Some people are not only liars but also shameless."

They're obviously targeting me. I don't want to argue with them, so I say, "Just so we're clear, I'm different from you guys. I came here with my friend!"

"Then where's your friend?"

These whores are laughing their heads off, which makes me really upset. Everyone in the room is whispering. I can't hear them, but I

know they're talking about me. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

No matter what, I feel that I should make this matter clear so that they can't slander me!

I take a step forward. I want to tell them to check the security footage, but someone behind me holds my arm.

It's Louie. I look at him in confusion.

"I'll walk you out," he says.

Before we leave, I heard him say to others, "Get these women out of here."

I walk out of the room and the world becomes noisy again. I wonder what he meant when he said that to his friend.

"What are you thinking?"

I tilt my head and see Louie walking beside me. I stop and say, "That's it. My friend is waiting for me not far away."

"It's okay. Let's me take you to her. Bars are too dangerous," he explains with a smile.

Now, in the bright light, I finally see his face clearly. He's handsome.

And he exudes warmth and refinement like polished jade.

There is a faint smile on the corners of his mouth. Thinking of how he helped me just now, I believe he's a gentleman.

He should be a career man because he's wearing a suit. I used to think Harrison was the only one who wore a suit to a bar. 'D*mn it, why am I thinking about Harrison again? Get out of my head!"

After thinking for a while, I ask him, "Do you really believe me?"

"What?" he asks.

Maybe the music was so loud that he didn't hear me clearly. 'Forget it. We're just strangers, and his opinion doesn't matter to me.'

As I'm thinking, he suddenly grabs my wrist and takes me into his arms. When I look up, I see his smiling eyes.

Stunned, I left his arms and then was pulled back again. I'm so pissed off that I want to swear. What's wrong with him?

"What the f..."

"I'm sorry."

I turn my head and see a waiter walking past me with a tray of wine in his hand.

"If I hadn't pulled you, you'd be covered in booze," Louie explains with a smile.

I lower my head awkwardly and don't know what to say. "I'm sorry. I didn't know that."

"Did you just get hit like that?"

"What?"

"You just said you were hit into in my room."

I turn my head to look at the waiter and then nod. "Well, yes. A new chapter, same book."

Louie stops talking and shakes his head with a helpless smile. Then, he walks up to me.

He turns his back to me, but his hand is reaching for me. He opens his fingers and motions for me to hold his hand.

But I just stand still. He looks back and holds my hand with a smile. I want to pull it back, but he grabs it tighter.

"I can walk by myself," I speak awkwardly.

It's weird to hold a stranger's hand. Now I'm starting to wonder if he let me to break in his room on purpose.

But he replies with a smile, "I know. But your friend may not see you until tomorrow, Snail."

His smile is really gentle, as if he won't be upset about anything.

If Harrison had treated me with such tenderness, I would have died of happiness. But he'll never talk to me again, let alone be gentle with me.

It takes about two minutes for him to take me back to my seat. If the bar wasn't packed, we'd have been here sooner.

"Chelsea, if you'd come back a minute later, I might have told the police my friend fell into the toilet!" Sienna shouts.

Subconsciously, I glance at Louie, who's looking at me with a smile. I give an awkward smile and explain, "Louie, she's my friend Sienna, and she likes joking. Would you like to join us?"

"I'd love to." Louie sits in an empty chair next to me. 'Holy sh*t, I thought he would refuse!'

Stunned, I twitch the corner of my mouth. 'Can't he tell I was just being polite?'

At the same time, Sienna waves to the door with a smile and shouts, "Jonah! Jonah! We're here!"

The glass in my hand slips onto the table. Luckily, Louie pulls me back so I won't get all the booze all over my clothes. I turn around to thank him, but I happen to meet Harrison's dark eyes.

For a moment, I feel like I'm alone with him in the noisy bar. He looks at me with a poker face and then looks away.
