Sugar Dating with CEO-Chapter 115
115 Pretend Not To Know Each Other
Seeing Angela’s life surrounded by so many kind and caring people made Kalea a little envious of her. While it appeared that finding people like that would be difficult, all of his hard work had been destroyed, and the person she had always considered a friend had stabbed her in the back. Not to mention her family, who will never be whole again.
It’s sad, but Kalea can not do anything else and can only be grateful for what is. Since there is still her mother who is trying to recover from her mental illness, Kalea will be patient. She still wants to believe that everything she has been trying to do will be beautiful in time.
With Angela’s seemingly perfect life, why did that woman hate Kalea so much? Kalea felt that she had no significant influence on the Jeffersons at all. Angela still gets the attention of everyone she loves.
“Are you okay?” Arthur asked as he put a strawberry Mojito cocktail on Kalea’s face, breaking Kalea from her thoughts.
“A-ah, I’m okay,” Kalea said, smiling awkwardly and then accepting the drink from her sugar daddy.
“Don’t daydream, you’ll be in a trance,” Arthur joked.
Kalea pursed her lips, slightly annoyed. “I’m not,” she replied and took a sip of the drink she had made earlier.
“By the way, Arthur. Where did you meet Miss. Lovaata?” Dariel asked suddenly, making Kalea choke on her drink. “Ah, sorry. Did my question surprise you, Miss. Lovaata?” Dariel still pretends to be innocent and puts on a worried face. The man gave her his handkerchief, but Arthur did it first.
“Thank you,” Kalea said, taking Arthur’s handkerchief and then wiping it around her mouth.
.....
Really, why did Dariel have to ask like that? It should not be necessary to do so even if it just wants their relationship to look completely foreign to the Jeffersons’ eyes.
As with Arthur, Arthur really wanted to punch his best friend in the face. Because he knew Dariel just wanted to tease him, and it was nice to see him fidgeting like this.
“At the club, I accidentally met her. Lea is very pretty, I can’t take my eyes off her, and it turns out that she studied at our campus,” Arthur replied while stroking Kalea’s back gently. Kalea just smiled awkwardly.
“Huh? Really? Wow, I didn’t expect it. But I don’t think I’ve ever seen a woman as beautiful as Miss. Lovaata at the night club we used to go to. Is it in a different place?” Dariel asked again, which made Arthur curse his friend even more.
“Yes, of course different,” Arthur replied again, smiling very sweetly. Dariel did not ask anymore, he just nodded his head in understanding and at the same time tried to hold back his laughter, which had been wanting to come out since seeing Arthur and Kalea, who were so nervous.
“Lea, do you like coming to a place like that?” Albern asked, starting to enter the chat.
“A-ah, I was with a friend at that time. She was the one who invited me for the first time to such a place,” Kalea replied, giving an answer that had previously been prepared with Arthur but could only be used in this second meeting.
“You came to the club for the first time and immediately caught my brother’s attention?” Now Angela asked while eating the cupcake she had previously decorated.
“R-right, Miss.”
“Have you two had sex?” Angela asked again, making everyone who was there look at her in surprise. The woman raised an eyebrow, then asked, “What? Is my question strange? Isn’t that natural?”
“Dear, your question is too personal,” Aquila said gently.
“Don’t be like that, Angela,” Albern added firmly.
Angela frowned in annoyance; she turned her face the other way. Her annoyance is getting worse because her parents are now defending the woman.
“It’s okay, Dad, Mom. Angela didn’t mean to be rude, I know that,” Arthur said, defending his sister. “If I did, you wouldn’t be surprised, would you?” Arthur asked Angela while cutting a red velvet cake and placing it in front of his sister.
“I’m not surprised, I just wanted to ask,” Angela said, looking at the cake Arthur had given her. “Why suddenly give me this? I can take it myself.”
“Eat a lot, I’ve noticed you’ve been thinner lately,” Arthur replied.
Angela bit her lower lip, her brother was indeed the most caring man and knew very well about her. Arthur knew that she really liked red velvet-flavored food and drink and could even eat it all if she wanted to. With all her busyness, Angela’s weight has decreased, even though there’s not too much of a difference. However, Arthur came to know about it.
“You rarely eat when you’re outside, honey?” Aquila asked worriedly.
“No time, Mom. But it’s okay, just lose one kilogram, really,” Angela replied, starting to eat the cake.
“If something is difficult, you can ask me, Angela,” Dariel said with concern as he stroked the woman’s black hair. Considering he is a doctor and can help Angela’s studies.
“Then can we meet outside? How about twice a week?” Angela suggested, and her mood immediately improved drastically just from being noticed by Dariel.
“That’s called taking a chance in adversity. Say you want to date Dariel,” Arthur’s accusation was spot on.
“I-it’s not like that! After all, Dariel would be fine with that too! Isn’t that right?” Angela asked, hugging Dariel’s arm and staring at the man with a twinkle in her eye. 𝐟𝙧ℯ𝑒𝒘𝐞𝒃𝗻𝒐ѵ𝘦𝑙.com
Dariel chuckled, he could not refuse if it was like this. “I’ll check my schedule first, okay?”
“Yeay! Thank you!”
Arthur took a deep breath, he looked at his best friend quite annoyed.
“Dariel, you don’t need to spoil Angela. You’ve been very busy at work,” Albern said, making the atmosphere awkward again.
“Dad, why do you keep forbidding me to do this and that?” Angela protested.
“I’m not forbidding you, you should understand how busy being a doctor is because you too will become like Dariel,” Albern replied, looking at his youngest child firmly. He did not want to make Angela continue to be spoiled and think all her wishes were granted.
Even though all this time he had been trying to educate his child not to bother anyone, but because his wife always spoiled Angela, they finally made the child always want to be noticed. Albern and Aquila’s ways of educating are indeed very different; neither is completely perfect.
Albern too harshly educated them to stress Arthur and Angela, while Aquila, who was too indulgent was not good for the children in the future.
Arthur was silent, he did not defend at all and was engrossed in sipping his wine. While Kalea felt very strange being in the midst of this tense atmosphere.
“I’m fine, Mr. Jefferson. It’s not a big problem for me to teach Angela, because fellow seniors and juniors definitely help each other,” Dariel said, defending Angela. Seeing Angela who was looking down and holding back tears, Dariel could not bear to just let it go without defending Angela at all. Because Dariel knows how the childhoods of the two siblings were.
Albern sighed heavily; he could not possibly force Dariel on and on and make the New Year’s Eve event bad.
“If you think it’s okay, I can’t do anything about it,” Albern said resignedly.
Dariel smiled sweetly, he was still stroking Arthur’s sister’s back gently. Dariel brought his face to Angela’s ear and whispered, “It’s okay, you didn’t do anything wrong.”
The night was getting late until the clock finally pointed at twelve.
“Happy New Year!” they all shouted, clinking glasses together. Fireworks were coming more and more from all directions and could be seen very clearly from their position.
Angela did not want to lose either, she went out onto the balcony and started lighting her fireworks and aimed it at the sky. The woman smiled widely as the fireworks bloomed like flowers, making the sky even more beautiful.
Arthur and Dariel also did it, the atmosphere was getting livelier and full of laughter. While Kalea just looked at them with a sweet smile that adorned her beautiful face. She did not join because she did not feel like she deserved to be in their midst; moreover, she did not want to upset Angela and make her feel bad again.
“Dear, are you not going to set off the fireworks?” Aquila asked as she sat beside Kalea.
“Ah, it’s okay, Ma’am. I’m already happy to see the fireworks from afar,” Kalea replied with a big smile so Aquila would not worry about her.
The clock goes on, the stock of fireworks has run out. Aquila and Albern excused themselves to rest in the room because they were tired and sleepy. In the end, there were only four of them left.
“You’re not sleepy, Angela?” Arthur asked, seeing Angela had not spoken much and leaned back on the sofa.
“Not really, you’re still here after all,” Angela replied as she reached for the last of the drink.
“Want me to take you to your room?” Dariel asked constantly, paying attention to his best friend’s sister.
Instead of answering, Angela asked back, “Are you going to stay here?”
“I guess so, I’ll be home in the morning.”
“Then we’ll stay until the morning.”
Dariel chuckled amusingly; he shook his head in disapproval of the option, especially since Angela’s energy would soon be completely exhausted.
On the other hand, Arthur sat back down beside Kalea. The sugar baby did not move anywhere at all and was still sitting there. “Aren’t you tired?” Arthur asked.
“A little,” Kalea answered shortly.
“Ah, by the way, Arthur. Come with me to smoke,” Dariel said.
“Huh? Why not just here?”
“Did you forget your sister doesn’t like cigarette smoke?”
“Ah ... okay. Angela, Lea, we’re going for a while,” Arthur said, gently patting Kalea and Angela’s heads in turn.
Kalea glared, she looked at Arthur and Dariel, who had walked away leaving her and Angela. She wanted to scream, saying do not leave her, but Kalea’s tongue felt numb and she felt someone staring at her very sharply.
The brunette-haired girl swallowed her saliva with difficulty, her heart was pounding, and she hoped the two men would return soon.
And now what should she do with just this woman?!
