To the Love of My Life

Chapter 672: Chapter 672: Qingqing, I Like You (2)
 

Steve Burton only realized that he had left the Burtons’ Mansion in a rush without bringing his wallet when he was about to arrive at The Sapphire Bistro. He parked his car right at the entrance, got out, and tossed the keys to the parking valet. Then he took out his phone, called Rusell Henris, and leisurely walked into The Sapphire Bistro.

Rusell had just managed to leave a charity gala and was about to head home when he received a call from Steve. He changed the direction, heading to The Sapphire Bistro instead.

Rusell arrived at The Sapphire Bistro about half an hour after Steve finished his call.

Pushing open the door of the private room, Rusell saw that the decadent, spacious room was occupied solely by Steve.

The room was quiet. No songs or dance music was playing, and there were no hostesses or singers accompanying Steve.

Feeling someone pushing the door, Steve did not even raise his head. He sat alone on the long, soft couch, while half a table’s worth of empty alcohol bottles was in front of him on the marble table.

Rusell stood at the doorway for a moment and knew Steve must be in an extremely bad mood. Usually, during these times, Steve least needed comfort from anyone else. Thus, Rusell stepped into the room, silently closed the door, and sat down on a couch some distance away from Steve. He remained quiet as he watched Steve drink glass after glass of alcohol.

Rusell didn’t interrupt Steve’s drinking, but rather let him drink freely. When Steve was about to finish his current bottle, Rusell even pressed the hotline to help him order more alcohol.

As the marble table was about to be filled up with empty alcohol bottles, Steve suddenly stumbled up from the couch and walked wobbly toward the door.

Rusell, who had been sitting quietly on the couch, hesitated for a moment before finally getting up and following Steve with some concern.

As they were about to enter the restroom, they passed two young and beautiful women. The women continuously looked at Steve, whispering and discussing something. It was only when Rusell fixed them with a stare that they quickly closed their mouths and stepped aside.

Steve pushed open a stall door in the restroom, bent over, and started vomiting into the toilet.

He threw up all the alcohol he had drunk, as well as his dinner, until there was nothing left in his stomach. Only then did he sway and stood back up, heading for the exit of the restroom.

Rusell flushed the toilet and cleaned it up. Hurrying to catch up, he was beside Steve just as he was about to push open the restroom door. But through the sound of running water, he heard hushed conversation from outside.

“That guy who was just drinking too much, he’s the CEO of Pristine’s Enterprises.”

“So, it’s him, huh? He’s indeed handsome and rich. No wonder Ruby Gregory, who is carrying another man’s child, keeps clinging to him!”

“But Ruby is really cheap. She’s with another man and still relentlessly entangled with her ex, who almost became her fiancé…”

Upon hearing this, Rusell subconsciously turned to look at Steve beside him. The next second, Steve suddenly kicked the door open, as if he had been hugely provoked, and stormed out.

Rusell hurriedly followed Steve, only to find him standing in front of the sinks with gritted teeth, one hand gripping a woman’s throat, angrily asking: “What were you talking about just now?”
