I've been plied with drink to the point of slight intoxication.

Feeling a hint of suffocation, a stale taste lingering in my throat, I can no longer bear it. I rise shakily, "Excuse me, everyone, I need to step out to the restroom."

The boss, Cai, with his full of wrinkles face, utters with a wide smile, "Go ahead, Miss Bai. Be careful and don't trip." As he speaks, he reaches out to pretend to steady me, but his hand conveniently brushes against my thigh, taking an opportunity to his advantage.

Feeling a tightness in my chest, desperate for a breath of fresh air and with my boss around, I decide to turn a blind eye to his groping.

Stumbling out of the private room, I retch in the washroom, looking at my own reflection in the mirror, I feel a sense of despair.

Twenty-five years old, abandoned, orphaned, and unsuccessful.

"Having nothing left to lose" is the perfect phrase to describe me.

After freshening up with cold water, I feel much better and start to walk out.

Just at the turning of the corner, I accidentally bump into someone.

The person frowns and looks up, "Suran?"

My initial, "I'm sorry," freezes on the tip of my tongue.

The man has a handsome face, polite and a pretty-boy image, isn’t he my ex-boyfriend, Song Huainian?

"Bai Suran, why are you here? Have you been drinking? You...you aren’t working here, are you?"

Why should I bother with the man who cheated on me?

Of course, I don't want to spare him another glance and wanted to leave right away. However, Song Huainian doesn't seem to be ready to let me go as he tentatively reaches out, apparently trying to steady me.

But at that moment, a soft voice came from behind Song Hua Nian, "Hua Nian, who are you talking to?"

Song Hua Nian immediately recoiled before he touched my hand.

Gao Qian Li walked over, and when she saw me, she was startled, then she smiled with her red lips, "Oh, it's Su Ran."

Gao Qian Li was my university classmate, roommates and best friends for four years. But half a year ago, she successfully took my boyfriend away with whom I had been dating for years.

I don't want to deal with the scumbag Song Hua Nian, but I wouldn't be held up to ridicule by Gao Qian Li lightly. I hooked up the hair on my forehead to the back of my ear and raised my eyebrows on purpose. I sarcastically smiled, "Oh, it's the homewrecker."

The colour drained from Gao Qian Li's face immediately, "Bai Su Ran, who are you calling a homewrecker!"

I pointed at Gao Qian Li, "Of course, I'm talking about you, the homewrecker."

Gao Qian Li was so angry that she stomped her feet, acting pitifully towards Song Hua Nian, "Hua Nian, look at her!"

Song Hua Nian wrapped his arms around Gao Qian Li's slender waist and furrowed his brows, "Su Ran, how can you say Qian Qian like that? We've already broken up. In a relationship, the one who is not loved is the homewrecker."

The one who is not loved is the homewrecker?

Huh, that's something eye-opening. I can't believe what I'm hearing here.

Not wanting to keep entangling with this pair of dog man and woman, I was about to leave.

But Gao Qian Li reached out, with a sweet sense of happiness, and said to me, "Su Ran, Hua Nian and I are getting engaged next month, you must come. You are my best friend, you will bless Hua Nian and me."

Without turning my head, I replied, "Blessings, of course, I would bless you. I wish you a bitch and a dog, eternal love."

Without looking at the expressions of the couple, I stepped away.

When I entered the private room, someone complained, "Miss Bai, where have you been for so long? Do you not want to sign this contract?"

I immediately smiled, "Mr Wang, look at what you're saying. I've been dreaming of collaborating with you and Mr Cai."

My superior, Fu Shao Cong, chimed in, "Mr Wang, what you said is too much. Our little Bai accompanied you to drink several bottles of wine today. Can't you feel her sincerity?"
