Chapter 5 Misunderstand Her

Actually, Elias had no plans of going to the bar tonight. After all, he disliked this kind of place. He always hated noisy and crowded places.

However, Kyle used all kinds of methods to persuade him. Kyle didn't stop pestering him until he agreed.

Kyle's being thick-skinned helped a lot. In the end, he successfully brought Elias to the bar.

But Elias didn't expect to see Scarlett there.

Scarlett's soft long hair now draped gently on her shoulders. She looked beautiful, especially when she smiled. Her eyes shone like the stars in the night.

Kyle walked over to Justin and Scarlett. He smiled and put his arm around Justin's shoulders.

Justin also smiled. "Hey, Kyle! What a coincidence. You're here, too."

Then Kyle introduced Justin to Elias. "This is Justin, my fashion designer. He is awesome. The clothes he designs are accurately to my liking."

Justin nodded at Elias and said modestly, "Kyle actually looks good no matter what he wears."

When Scarlett heard this, she couldn't help glancing at Elias. She thought he was really handsome.

This time, Kyle turned his eyes to Scarlett. He winked at her and introduced themselves. "Hi! I'm Kyle Wright. And this is my friend." He pointed at Elias.

Scarlett slowly looked up and met Elias's eyes. She said in a clear voice, "Mr. Roberts..."

Elias nodded slightly in response.

Suddenly, Kyle's eyes lit up. He seemed to realize something. "Do you know each other?" He touched his chin and looked at Elias in disbelief. "He always ignores women. How did you guys meet?"

Scarlett immediately explained, "We've only met today. I'm Zayne's new tutor."

When Kyle heard this, he felt a little disappointed.

Elias had not been interested in women for many years. He thought Elias had finally fallen in love with someone.

But soon, he said excitedly, "Well, since we all know each other, let's have fun together."

Then they found their seats. After they were seated, Kyle took a deck of cards and looked at them. "Do you know how to play cards?"

Justin was the first to respond. He nodded.

Scarlett knew how to play cards, but she didn't play that often. She was not confident, but she felt it seemed inappropriate to refuse at this moment. She had no choice but to also nod.

Elias tapped the table with his slender fingers and said in a somewhat calm tone, "Let's get started."

Kyle became even more excited. On occasions like this, it was rare for Elias to be so cooperative, so he immediately began dealing cards.

Scarlett took her cards and looked at them. She froze.

She felt that she was so unlucky.

Kyle also saw Scarlett's cards, and he couldn't help chuckling. But he comforted her. "Beauty, it's okay. It's just the first round anyway."

The rule of the game was the player with the lowest hand had to drink.

Since Scarlett had the lowest hand, she must drink. But before she could pick up the glass in front of her, Justin took it and said, "She can't drink. Let me do it for her."

Kyle nodded in understanding. "Okay."

Justin drank the wine in one gulp. Upon seeing this, Scarlett frowned and reminded him, "Drink slowly."

"Wow, how caring! Do you feel sorry for him?" Kyle said jokingly.

Elias's eyes narrowed slightly. But his expression remained so calm that it was hard to guess what he was thinking.

In the following rounds, Scarlett lost continuously. She couldn't help wondering if there was something wrong with Kyle's distribution of cards. So she strongly requested for a replacement.

However, she still kept losing even after it was Elias who dealt the cards.

Kyle couldn't help chuckling again. He said, "Beauty, today is really not your lucky day."

Justin had already drunk more than a dozen glasses of wine. He raised his hand and shouted, "Go on!"

Scarlett noticed that Justin's face flushed. Obviously, he was drunk. She quickly stopped him and said, "Don't drink anymore."

Justin looked at Scarlett and squinted. He waved his hand and said, "I'm fine. Just deal! I don't believe that... Scarlett is unlucky all the time."

Elias calmly put down the cards in his hand and looked at Justin.

Scarlett pulled Justin helplessly. He was really drunk now. She coaxed, "All right, all right. We won't play anymore. It's time for you to go home and have a rest. If you keep drinking like this, you will definitely have a headache when you wake up tomorrow."

But Justin shouted stubbornly, "No! I don't want to go home yet. Come on, let's play!"

Scarlett took a deep breath to suppress the irritation in her heart. If Justin had not been drinking for her, she would have knocked him out with a punch.

But in Kyle's eyes, her slightly furrowed eyebrows showed her undisguised worries for her drunken boyfriend.

He leaned over and whispered to Elias, "Look how close they are to each other. What about you? You are married, but you still look as if you are single. When you see couples like them who love each other so much, don't you think of something?"

Elias glanced at Scarlett and Justin, but he looked away quickly.

Kyle was right. Justin and Scarlett seemed to have a good relationship. They looked so intimate.

He was deeply touched while watching the interaction between them.

For some reason, he envied such an intimate relationship.

Suddenly, he remembered his three-month agreement with Ella.

Maybe he had really misunderstood his wife? Otherwise, how could Ella like her so much?

At the thought of this, Elias took out his phone, looked for Scarlett's number, and sent her a message, asking her out tonight.

At this moment, Scarlett was struggling to help the drunk Justin stand up.

As soon as Elias sent the message, Scarlett's phone on the table rang.
