Chapter 45
Leaves on the roadside trees rustled in the wind, and it appeared that it was about to rain.
Lindsey and Domenic walked side by side as far away from the hotel as they could on foot.
Suddenly, Lindsey stopped and reached into her backpack to take out something wrapped in paper.
She was a little reluctant to say goodbye to Domenic.
“Mr.
Walsh, it’s over.
Here’s your pay.
I was thinking of just transferring the money to you, but then I realized it’d be more sincere if I gave you the cash personally.
But I don’t have that much cash on me.
” Lindsey smiled at him awkwardly.
“If this isn’t enough, I’ll transfer more to you in a few days.
”
Recently, her bank card had been overdrawn.
If she hadn’t received the money from her mother, she wouldn’t have had the confidence to make such a promise now.
“Is it really over?” Domenic’s eyes gleamed with a hint of playfulness.
“Didn’t we just get engaged?”
Lindsey chuckled, pretending everything was going to be okay.
“I can handle the rest myself.
It was a pleasure working with you, Mr.
Walsh.
From now on, we have nothing to do with each other.
“
Domenic’s expression was somewhat complicated, and Lindsey couldn’t help but look away, fearing that she would misunderstand something.
“I guess I’d better get going.
” She lowered her head, took off the Cartier bracelet, and pressed it into Domenic’s palm.
“Thanks for everything.
Bye!”
Then she left as quickly as her legs could take her.
Lindsey didn’t know how long she had run.
When she finally stopped to look back, he had already disappeared from her sight.
She couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed.
Slowing down her pace, she started to walk around aimlessly.
What happened tonight kept replaying in her mind.
The distrust in her father’s eyes when he looked at her in disappointment was such a thorn in her side.
Another thing that kept bothering her was the fact that she had lost her virginity to a complete stranger.
She had planned to give her first time to the one she loved, but she had fallen into Kendra’s trap and ended up sleeping with someone she would never see again.
She had planned this engagement party for so long, thinking that she could reveal Kendra’s true colors, but in the end, it was all in vain.
Lindsey had never felt so useless.
The depression she felt was so overwhelming that it nearly suffocated her.
She only felt at ease when she was with Domenic, but she knew that their time together wouldn’t last.
After all, she was nothing more than a stranger to him.
It was over.
Lindsey raised her head and looked up at the sky in a daze.
The endless darkness enveloped her.
Feelings of despair, sadness, and disappointment filled her heart.
Subconsciously, she ended up wandering to a bar.
All of a sudden, she felt a strong urge to have a drink.
So, she entered it.
Music blared into her ears and colorful lights blinded her.
People danced on the dance floor like there was no tomorrow.
The whole scene looked like a dream.
Lindsey sat at the bar counter and ordered a bottle of beer.
Without hesitation, she poured herself a glass of beer and downed its contents in a few gulps.
Truth be told, she had a low tolerance for alcohol.
She felt a little dizzy after just one glass, but she reveled in the feeling, so she drank two more.
At this time, several men at a nearby booth eyed her up and down.
A blonde man with earrings came over and sat down next to her.
He looked at her with undisguised lust and asked, “Hey, gorgeous, are you waiting for someone?”
