Chapter 48: It Was Just Acting


    After returning home, Felicity continued to check the job listings on the recruitment website and filled in


    her resume carefully.


    She already found several different types of jobs and wanted to try getting an interview.


    …


    In one of the most prestigious bars in JC City, Jason was sitting with his good friend Keith n in his


    exclusive lounge for a drink.


    Keith felt this experience was quite umon. Jason was a busy man and had never before asked


    him out for drinks. Today, he suddenly had time toe out; it was really strange.


    "I was saying, Jason, you and I haven''t seen each other for a long time. Now that we are both here, all


    you are doing is drink!"


    Keith had just watched Jason drink two sses of ice-cold vodka straight. It was strong stuff, not made


    to be drunk straight and that much.


    "You''re not heartbroken in love, are you?" Seeing the destion in Jason''s eyes, Keith threw a random


    guess at him.


    He said it just for fun. It was obviously the most unlikely reason for Jason’s behavior.


    Who had the power to break Jason reed’s heart?


    "You''re right this time." Jason did not deny it, but admitted it generously.


    When Keith heard that, he was really surprised. He was just casually joking. He didn''t expect that it


    could be right?


    "This… It''s not your style…” Keith looked at him in disbelief.


    Not to mention that Jason never had any connection to love and rtionships what so ever. Even if he


    did, no kind of love could bring him down. With that personality, how could he be hurt by anyone?


    “…” Jason didn''t speak; he just considered Keith''s words thoughtfully.


    He was not a fool. He could clearly see that Felicity only used David as a shield. There was not a speck


    of love in her eyes for David.


    However, he was angry. Why did she have to do that? Why was she trying to alienate him deliberately?


    There was something that Jason couldn''t figure out. In the whole world, no one dared to treat him like


    this!


    Why did Felicity treat him like this?


    "Do you want to call Liam?" Keith suggested that since it''s a drinking night between friends, it should


    be a little livelier.


    "Whatever." Jason did not give a clear answer.


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    Keith patted Jason on the shoulder and immediately called Liam. He was sure that after Liam joined


    them, the atmosphere would be happier than before.


    Liam loved partying most. As soon as he received the call from Keith and heard that Jason was there


    too, he immediately came to join them.


    However, as soon as he arrived, without reading the atmosphere, he joked stupidly, "Hey! Jason Bro,


    why didn''t you bring our sister-inw with you?"


    Jason frowned and looked up at Liam. His eyes were full of murderous spirit; Liam was startled.


    Keith quickly winked at Liam to shut him up. He hated him and his big mouth…


    Liam finally understood and quickly clicked his tongue, "I shouldn''t have asked, Bro! My fault. Let us


    punish me with a bottle of foreign wine...”


    After that, Liam quickly took the bottle of foreign wine. After drinking it, his face turned red instantly.


    …


    When the three of them were about to properly start drinking, Jason got up to leave. After all, he could


    not drink too much, and he still had some business deals to handle when he returned to his office.


    Just as he got out of the lounge, he saw a very familiar handsome young man.


    He was slightly drunk and unstable, and there was a girl beside him, who was leaning over to support


    him; both of them were drunkenly staggering along the corridor.


    Jason seemed to have seen him somewhere. Wasn’t that man Felicity''s "boyfriend" from earlier that


    day?


    Jason scoffed andughed drunkenly. Was she finally acting?


    Seeing him again the same day, Jason decided to y along…


    Jason stepped forward and gave David a hard push.


    Caught off guard, David knocked heavily against the wall, but he was so drunk that he was still in a


    daze. He snorted but didn’t response otherwise.


    Jason sneered and said in a cold but loud voice, "Don’t you have Felicity? How dare you be ying


    around with other women? Do you want to die?"


    The woman beside David, Sia Brooks, was startled after a moment of haziness and looked at David in


    dismay.


    David was obviouslypletely drunk, he looked dizzy, everything around him was blurry and


    confusing.


    Liam also came out of the lounge around this time. Seeing Jason bust teaching a lesson to a young


    man, he hurried forward and asked, "Jason, what''s wrong?"


    "Bring them in!" Jason said ncing at the two people, and Liam immediately understood. He brought


    David and Sia into their lounge.


    Sia was a little afraid as she had never seen such a scene. She kept trembling as she looked around at


    the three men with fearful eyes. She didn’t say a word, just quietly shook David to wake him up.


    David slowly opened his eyes and saw the blurry figure of Jason in front of him. Seeing Jason so close


    to him made him wake up, all drunkenness forgotten. However, his stomach continued to surge


    painfully; he couldn’t speak.


    "You have Felicity, how dare you to cheat on her?" Jason continued to pretend as if he believed David


    was dating Felicity. He could apany him in the little drama until the end.


    "I..." David did not know how to exin.


    He was going abroad soon, and tonight was a farewell party arranged for him by his ssmates.


    However, in the middle of the party Sia suddenly confessed her feelings for him. David, afraid of hurting


    Sia''s feelings, so he neither refused nor said yes; he told her that he needed some time to think about


    it.


    Later, he and several friends drank too much, and became quite intoxicated. The students around them


    wanted to give Sia a chance, so they asked her to send David back.


    "If you can''t speak, then how about we just call Felicity over and you can tell her the truth." Jason


    smiled disdainfully and asked him to call Felicity.


    "Actually… Felicity and I are not dating. It was just acting. "


    David didn''t want to involve Sia into this mess, so he simply told the truth.


    Jason narrowed his eyes and looked at him incredulously, "Oh, so now you don''t even want to be


    responsible. How dare you make excuses? Ask Felicity toe here right now so she can see your


    real face, otherwise I might change your bone structure tonight!”


    Seeing that Jason was not believing him, David helplessly called Felicity.


    Felicity was about to turn off herptop when David called. She was a little confused but answered the


    call anyway, "David? What''s up?"


    "Felicity, can youe to the Neon Bar, please?" David was a little embarrassed to trouble Felicity, but


    this whole mess was kind of her own fault so he asked her.


    "What''s the matter?" It was sote. Why was he asking her toe to a bar all of a sudden? Felicity


    was confused.


    "Umm..." David didn’t know how to exin; he hesitated for a long time.


    "Don''t waste time. You''re drunk. Ask your girlfriend toe pick you up."


    Seeing David waste time, Jason deliberately said in a loud voice.


    Felicity heard his voice faintly. She seemed to understand something. Was David in trouble?


    "Okay. I''ll be right there." Felicity agreed without thinking. After all, this was all because of her; she


    could not just ignore David when he was in trouble because of her.
