Chapter 21: They drugged her!
At 8 p. m., inside the Pivo Czech Bar full of noise and pleasure, the atmosphere was hot.
Perla came in with Estrella and immediately ordered two glasses of Long Island Iced Tea.
Estrella did not usually go to bars and knew even less about this kind of cocktails -Perla, let’s celebrate somewhere else, I’ll treat you to some lobsters…-.
The colorful light of the bar and the noisy crowd caused his ears to ache.
Perla liked to have fun and shouted in Estrella’s ear, “Estrella, I’ve called for my brother to come! I’ll introduce him to you later! She also drew-
Perla had always wanted to introduce her own brother Ricardo to Estrella, after all, every miller draws water to his own mill, on the one hand he is her brother and on the other hand she is his best friend, if these two can get to be together then would they have an even closer relationship?
Perla was thinking happily when Ricardo was already on his way here.
Perla greeted him -Brother! This way!
Ricardo was wearing a black t-shirt with graffiti designs, dressed very fashionably with a very handsome look, as soon as he entered the bar, he was looked at by several young girls.
Ricardo smiled as he approached and reached out to embrace Estrella, – Estrella, long time no see-.
– Ricardo, long time no see-
Perla, who was standing to the side, looked surprised, pointed at Ricardo and then pointed at Estrella – “they both knew each other before?
Ricardo and Estrella looked at each other with a smile and he explained -I was you told me before that your best friend is Estrella, I met Estrella when I was studying at the School of Fine Arts in Paris, we are former classmates-.
Estrella nodded -Yes, thanks to your brother who took care of me in Paris-.
Perla stared at them with a wicked look -Oh…? They had been together behind my back for so long?
Estrella blushed, “What nonsense are you talking, we’re just friends!
But Perla is not a fool, after Ricardo gave her a few looks, she immediately knew how to give them space, Perla drank a big mouthful of the cocktail, covered her stomach and feigned pain – “Star, it seems I’ve had too much ice cold drink, my stomach hurts a little, you and my brother talk first, I’m going to the bathroom!
-Do you want me to come with you? Are you all right?
Perla said she was fine as she nimbly fled.
-Just leave her alone, she might have liked a young man on the dance floor.” When Ricardo looked at Estrella again, his gaze became serious, “Estrella, how ungrateful you are, you didn’t even tell me when you returned to the country!
Estrella rubbed her neck and apologized, “I just got back, I’ve been very busy, I wanted to contact you, but…”.
-Okay, I don’t blame you, but since you’re back, I hope I’ll be the first one you call when you run into something you can’t solve in the future.
Estrella smiled, “Understood!
It was by pure chance that she met Ricardo, the unruly by nature, with his car he was racing at high speeds through the streets of Paris and almost ran over Estrella. They had to be taken to do a search at the police station, that’s where the two met and learned that they are both from The Holy City, so they have become good friends over time.
From a place not too far away, someone looked her way….
-Star?
Irene had come to the bar with some friends for her last single night, but unexpectedly she would meet Estrella here.
-You guys have fun first, I’m paying tonight, I seem to have run into someone I know, so I’ll go over and say hello first!
Irene left her friends behind and approached the bar, not expecting that she would run into Estrella leaving with another man from the bar.
I thought Estrella had gotten close to Adam, so it wouldn’t be easy to mess with her in the future, but I didn’t expect to catch her so soon.
Irene pulled out her phone and quickly snapped a few photos.
When he found Adam’s phone number in the contacts, he hesitated again.
By simply sending the photos like this, even if Adam was suspicious, Estrella can explain with two sentences and he would dismiss them, there was no great evidence or substance to it.
Didn’t Estrella now say she was Adam’s wife? If she was caught in bed with another man, would Adam still love her?
With Adam’s ruthless methods, he would probably discard Estrella!
Irene stared at the colorful cocktail, slightly raised the corner of her red lips and planned an idea inside her.
The bartender who prepared the drinks for Estrella and Ricardo, after taking Irene’s money, added some fierce ingredients to their drinks.
…
Estrella wasn’t sure if it was because she had too much to drink or because the bar was too hot but her body began to heat up.
She swallowed her saliva uncomfortably -Ricardo, Perla is not back yet, I’ll go to the bathroom to look for her-.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
Estrella had just turned around to leave when Ricardo, who was standing next to her, pulled her wrist and pulled her into his arms abruptly, “Estrella, I feel a little sick, can you help me by taking me to the private room to rest?
Ricardo didn’t know what was going on, there was only one voice in his head.
-Lie down with her! Lie down with her! -Lie down with her!
But there was also a little angel inside of him warning him seriously -Estrella is a good girl, you can’t do foolish things, no matter how much you like her you can’t sleep with her in a hurry! At least wait until she’s willing-“.
Ricardo was her good friend and Perla’s brother so Estrella didn’t think much about it, she herself was a little dizzy, she helped Ricardo and nodded -Okay, I’ll take you to rest first, then I’ll go get Perla-.
Richard looked at the lovely scarlet color on Estrella’s little face, the evil imp inside him suddenly struck down the weak little angel!
Forget it, I’ll sleep with her first!
He had wanted to do it for a long time. After sleeping with her, at any rate, marrying her!
Estrella carried Ricardo and walked toward the private room with unsteady steps….
On the other hand, Matthew Galvez, who had come to drink with his friends, placed his gold-rimmed glasses securely on the bridge of his nose and his shrewd dark eyes looked at the woman’s back, frowning slightly.
Isn’t Estrella the one who applied for the job of Adam’s wife at Grupo de Rouco a few days ago?
She also clearly remembered that Estrella was taken out of the interview room by Santino, Adam wanted to interview her personally, they say that Adam had taken her home to meet his parents, but now how come she came to the bar with a strange man?
Wait, that strange man… seems to be Adam’s nephew, Ricardo?
Matthew pulled out his phone and dialed Adam’s number, he lifted the corner of his mouth with a smile, I want to see a “big show” -Hey, looks like I saw your wife-.
Adam on the other side frowned slightly -Matthew, tell me clearly-.
-I’m at the Pivo Czech Bar, I saw Estrella hugging your nephew Ricardo and entering a private room.
Adam with an unhappy face without saying a word, had the intention of hanging up the phone and Matthew could be heard talking quietly over there, -I mean, you must hurry up, if you are late, maybe your wife will become your nephew’s wife- -I mean, you must hurry up, if you are late, maybe your wife will become your nephew’s wife-.
-Shut up-
After hanging up the phone, Adam grabbed his car keys and quickly left the studio.
Olivia, who was playing Monopoly with Dante and Paulita in the living room, was surprised to see Adam leaving in a hurry and asked, “Adam, where are you going so late?
-I left an important document at the company.
