Chapter 50: Taste of Forbidden Apple
Seeing Valerie frowned, Clark quickly said, "Valerie, I know we can't date but at least I hope we can still be friends. As a friend, I ask you to please accompany me for a while."
Seeing Clark's face, Valerie hesitated a little.
"Don't worry, we'll just drink and chat. I won't do anything weird." Clark forced a smile but deep down inside, he was very angry. He had already made up his mind to use the medicine he'd bought to paralyze Valerie.
"Okay." Hearing that Clark wanted to maintain their friendship, Valerie thought there was nothing wrong with it.
"I just can't stop thinking, which lucky man can have a beautiful person like you as his partner." While talking, Clark put some drugs in Valerie's drink without her realizing it.
"Maybe this is the last day we meet." Clark raised his glass and wanted to toast with Valerie, "I hope tomorrow we will both turn over a new page."
"Cheers to the good of each of us." Said Valerie with a smile, "I hope you find your life partner as soon as possible."
"Cheers." Clark's eyes were already filled with craftiness. He put his lips on the glass but didn't drink it. He waited for Valerie to drink.
'Tonight you are mine!' His perverted thoughts were all over the place. Since he couldn't have Valerie, at least tonight Valerie would be his!
Just when Valerie was about to let the drink inside her lips, a hand suddenly slammed their table. Clark was shocked, his gaze immediately traced the arm up to the person's face. Valerie was jolted into shock and broke her glass.
"Who are you?" Clark's face looked ugly because his plan had failed. Because of this man, Valerie's glass had broken and her spiked drink was spilled on the floor.
Valerie turned and saw that the person was Ryan. She froze in silence not because of her shock but because of the words that Ryan spat out.
"I am Valerie's boyfriend, who are you?" Ryan smiled and asked the servant to clean the spilled drink. He then grabbed Valerie's hand and said, "Honey why did you go alone without telling me?"
Without noticing Clark's gaze, he pulled a chair and sat next to Valerie.
"Honey, I'm sorry for being too jealous. Your drink also fell, I'll buy you a new one here." Ryan then took the menu and called another waiter, "This drink suits your sweet taste, this one looks good too."
Ryan embraced Valerie's shoulder while continuing to look at the menu. Clark, who had seen the two of them making out, was completely ignored.
"Then we order this and a glass of water for me." Ryan then lowered the menu book and asked, "Honey, will you pay for our drinks later?"
"Not." Valerie shook her head, "My friend Clark said he was going to treat me."
"Oh?" Ryan's gaze turned to Clark, "Wow, thanks bro! You are very generous. Then I'll order something else okay!"
Seeing Ryan's smile, Clark smiled awkwardly. Somehow, his plan for a passionate night had failed.
'This bastard dares to take what has become mine. Lucky I didn't kill you!' Ryan also thought that if he killed him, who would pay for this expensive drink?
"Just order, Valerie's friend is my friend too!" Clark immediately smiled warmly.
Ryan smiled back at him, "You really are very generous. Nice to meet you." Then asked him to shake hands.
To escape the awkward situation, Clark shook hands with Ryan. At that instant, Ryan squeezed his hand firmly. The man felt that his hand was starting to crumble at Ryan's grip.
"What's wrong? Why is your face so pale?" Ryan pretended to be confused and grabbed Clark's shoulder, "Do you need to see a doctor?" He said while squeezing Clark's shoulder.
Even so, Clark did not scream in pain because he still wanted to show his cool side to Valerie. However, Clark's gaze became sharp as he glared at Ryan. When he learned that Valerie was watching them, he said, "Ah it's okay, my stomach suddenly hurts."
"Oh, I see! If you drink that much alcohol it's no wonder your stomach isn't strong. You're even throwing up your money by vomiting it up. This bar's specialty is not in its alcohol but in mocktails. Here I help you choose. Waiter! We want to order!"
When the waiter came with a menu, Ryan immediately ordered, "I want this, this, that and this."
Ryan ordered all the expensive mocktails. He then whispered to the servant, "Later, please pack me ten of each drink, I'll take it in about 30 minutes."
The waiter was surprised but Ryan immediately said, "Don't worry, my friend is so rich that he can even afford this bar hahaha."
The waiter immediately noticed Clark's dress and nodded.
Then Ryan turned around with a smile, "Don't worry, I ordered you to take it home so that you will feel comfortable at home. You'll pay for all of this, right? I left my wallet at home hahahaha!"
Clark really got mad when he heard that. How could this man be so shameless?
"Of course!" Clark said in a cold tone. The price of drinks at this bar was not that expensive, but the mocktail that Ryan ordered cost at least four times a regular drink. Each drink almost reached $200.
On the other hand, Ryan felt lucky because he could drink for free.
Clark felt something was wrong and wanted to find out more information. He said to Valerie, "Valerie, is he really your boyfriend?"
Valerie was surprised when she heard that question. She then turned to Ryan and her face flushed. She neither answered nor denied that question.
Seeing Valerie who lowered her head in embarrassment, Clark's heart ached. Almost ten months he was chasing Valerie. The main question was why was this self-righteous bastard able to steal Valerie's heart and not him?
Clark couldn't help thinking.
Ryan looked at Clark's face and guessed what the man was thinking, 'Okay let's dance!'
"Eh, this is delicious, you know! You have to try it! Don't be afraid to get fat, you are beautiful as you are!" Ryan handed the mocktail he ordered earlier while kissing Valerie's cheek.
Seeing Ryan's action, Clark got angry again. He had blackmailed himself by ordering that many drinks and now the man easily kissed the woman he was aiming for. What made him even more angry was that he could only watch all of this without being able to do anything about it.
"Oh yes, this is what I recommended to you earlier. Try." Ryan saw that the fire of revenge was burning in Clark's heart so he intended to fuel it even more.
When he offered it, Ryan deliberately spilled a little of the drink on Clark.
"Wow, sorry bro! I didn't mean it. Can we ask the waiter for a cloth?" Ryan pretended to care.
Clark just glared at Ryan with his gloomy face. Only a cunning person could spot another cunning person. Ryan must be trying to flirt with Valerie. It looked like this guy also knew about his plan to get Valerie high.
Taking a deep breath, Clark looked at Ryan and asked, "Valerie, is this guy really your boyfriend?"
Valerie frowned, 'Didn't you already ask?'
"Hey, why do you doubt that? I can give you proof to believe it!" Ryan then stood up and hugged Valerie. He kissed her in the lips!
The two lips met and allowed their tongues to stay in touch.
Valerie was shocked by Ryan's action. As they kissed, she felt Ryan's broad chest and couldn't help stroking it. She then tried to escape but Ryan's tongue did not give her that opportunity.
Clark was really heartbroken. He could even hear his heart crumble to dust. Clark looked at Ryan, gritting his teeth. He felt that Ryan was telling him he could get what he couldn't in just a short time.
During these ten months, he felt that Valerie would eventually fall into his arms and become his woman. That sweet dream now was completely shattered!
After twenty seconds, the two of them finally let go of their kiss. Valerie looked tired and gasping for breath.
Ryan noticed Clark's expression from the corner of his eye. The guy's face had completely turned ugly with his eyes filled with anger.
"I'm sorry, I need to go to the toilet." Clark then stood up and left the two of them.
"What did you mean by this?" Valerie asked while blushing.
"Hmm? I'm just telling people that no one should bother my woman!" Ryan said with a smile.
"You mean me?" Valerie blushed even more.
"Of course! Even if our relationship is not yet official." Ryan then took Valerie's hand, "If you want, we will soon go to the hotel and formalize our relationship. Then you will be mine!"
"I'll think about it." Valerie lowered her head again while enjoying her drink.
