Chapter 6 Sorrowful

Sadness was playing every day. The only thing she could do was to adjust her mood. She didn't want to be overwhelmed by sadness.

After all, she could not control what was going to happen every day.

Everyone could tell that Maverick was jealous, so she rolled his eyes at Jasper. Maybe it was not because he was jealous, but because he was a domineering CEO. He was always so cold and didn't allow others to steal his things. Of course, in his eyes, Ines was a deal. So she was almost the same as the thing.

Ines was willing to see them quarrel with each other. To her the fierce they quarreled the better. So that she could get rid of some of her resentment.

But ever since Maverick glared at Jasper, Jasper didn't dare to call her Ines anymore.

'I know that Maverick mentioned the matter of room 5201 because he did not want me to leave here. In that case, since I'm hungry, I'll eat and drink here first to see if there is any clue. But there must be some secret, but it must have something to do with Jasper. Otherwise, the greeter wouldn't say that Mr. Yu was waiting for a long time, and it was Mr. Yu who asked Jasper to bring me here, ' she thought.

Ines didn't say anything. She just sat there in silence.

Jasper and Maverick ordered a lot of dishes, including sea cucumbers, abalones, deer meat, steak, home cooked cold dishes and stewed potatoes with goose. It didn't take long for the dishes to be served. Looking at the tempting dishes, Ines had no appetite at all. Although she was hungry, she couldn't eat. Although it was the same Starry Grand Hotel, it was no longer what it used to be. It was her treat, and she was the superior host. Even if she wasn't the protagonist, the atmosphere was always pleasant. But now she couldn't find the happiness she used to have.

Jasper's heart ached when he saw Ines's sad face. However, since things happened...

Maverick suddenly opened his mouth, "It was an honor for me to see Miss Yang again today. Please take this dinner as a welcome for me to meet this beautiful lady, Miss Yang, okay?" He raised his glass.

Jasper also raised his glass and clinked it with Maverick cooperatively. But Ines didn't seem to hear it. She didn't mean to pick up the glass. She was just in a daze.

"Well, Miss Yang, aren't you willing to accept it? Or you don't like the food?" said Maverick coldly. Ines heard a seemingly commanding voice.

Ines couldn't help trembling and Jasper answered in time. He helped to smooth things over for Ines.

"How could she not accept it? Mr. Yu is so generous. You helped Ines just now. Oh, no, it's Miss Yang to solve the problem of her life. Miss Yang is so grateful. How could she not be willing to accept Mr. Yu's kindness?" As soon as Jasper said 'Ines', he realized that he was wrong and changed it to 'Miss Yang' in a hurry.

Jasper understood what that rolling his eyes meant. Jasper was not a fool. He knew that Maverick thought it was too amorous for him to call her Ines. But he really didn't understand why this Maverick, who was tall, rich and handsome, who had countless women under him, would not let go of Ines. Why did he care so much about Ines?

'Ines was just an inexperienced girl. He remembered that generally successful people liked mature women. Ines was simple and lovely, and was also a rare beauty. However, as the controller of the entertainment circle, he had a lot of beauties under his body, and he had slept with countless women, no more than two times with the same woman. How could he invite a woman to dinner in person and look for her with difficulty? This was nothing like Maverick, ' thought Jasper in his heart.

Jasper tugged at the hem of Ines's clothes to bring Ines back to reality. Ines picked up her glass and felt a chill in her heart when she thought that she was...by such a cold person.

'But just now, it seemed that Jasper said that he had helped me. Could it be that the gold card was his?'

The three clinked their glasses and made a joyful sound.

Ines had to put aside everything for the time being and find an opportunity to ask what had happened.

Ines suddenly called out "cheer", bringing the atmosphere to a climax. After drinking one glass after another, Ines drank a lot. Maybe she could forget everything when she was drunk, so that she wouldn't feel pain and recall those painful memories. Ines drank one after another, regardless of Jasper's dissuasion.

"Brother Jasper, just let me drink. I'll be fine if I'm drunk. I will not be painful then." Tears welled up in Ines's eyes.

Looking at Ines, Jasper's heart twitched. He snatched the bottle from Ines. He slammed the bottle onto the ground. He didn't know when Ines started to drink directly from the bottle without using the cup.

For a woman who had never eaten anything and was extremely weak, how could she bear to drink like this?

Ines's mind gathered together at the speed of light with the sound of the smashing bottle. Yes, she couldn't get drunk. It was the consequence of getting drunk last time. She had to figure out what was going on and her mother was waiting for her to take care of her. Ines suddenly became strong.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling sorry for her? Mr. Ma was really gentle to women," Maverick said coldly. There was no warmth in his words.

There was obvious irony and ridicule in his words.

"Mr. Yu, Ines is my good friend. We are good buddies. The person she loves most left her, and her company went bankrupt. Her father's life is uncertain, and she has to take care of her mother. Can she bear such a big blow in her heart? She has been drinking too much to such extent. Can't you understand her? Can't you have a little mercy?" Jasper said in a trembling voice.

What he said was really touched. Ines felt that this was her best friend. He had always been on her side, protecting and comforting her since she was a child.

"Mr. Ma, you are so touching. No wonder Miss Ines takes you as her best friend. Miss Yang, you have a good eye? Why is she becoming like this today? Do you want me to make it clear?" Maverick pressed him step by step.

Although Ines knew that Jasper must have lied to her, he didn't seem to be helping her hypocritically to win her care. 'I'm not that arrogant daughter of Mr. Chairman now, but a poor weed. He didn't have to do that," she thought to herself. She choose to trust him. At least she didn't want her last hope to be broken.

"Mr. Yu, what do you want from me today? If you don't have anything else to say, I'll leave now. My mother is waiting for me. Thank you for your invitation. I am really appreciated. Mr. Yu, you are indeed handsome, but you have such a cold heart. It seems that it's useless. You can insult me, but don't slander my friend like this. Although I'm poor now, I don't want to lose my dignity." Ines regained her composure and said in a casual tone. The weak girl suddenly became very powerful. Then she took out the gold card from her pocket and threw it to Maverick.

"This gold card belongs to you, right? Although I'm poor now, I don't need your charity." Ines was still resolute. Maverick was a little stunned. He didn't expect her to be so stubborn. It was really unexpected.

After saying that, Ines ran out of the Starry Grand Hotel.

Thank you for your support.
