Chapter 25 Croton

... When Randal heard the whispering of some people, Randal looked really upset.

Angela also felt very awkward. In other people's eyes, she was the girl that once seduced Arvin...

Since another song has began, everyone gradually focused their attention on singing instead of the rumors. Angela started to feel relieved.

"Angela, you have to pay attention to your image!" Randal talked to her with an unsatisfactory tone.

Angela's face turned red out of embarrassment, "I have explained to you already that I didn't seduce Arvin!"

Randal saw that she became angry, so he said nothing after that. Later, his colleagues passed two bottles of beer to them.

Since Angela knew no one from the Pharmacy Department and Randal didn't even bother to talk to her, Angela felt very bored that she decided to play on her phone.

When the clock has hit 7:30, almost all the employees under the management of Director Liu had come inside the room. They all decided to drink together. Because of this, the environment became very hot!

A guy saw Randal's indifference to Angela and he started to chat with her, "Which department are you in?"

Angela immediately closed her phone, "VVIP Ward."

"Wow, great! Oh, didn't you come to the hospital only for a short time? They don't have internship in VVIP ward!" The guy scratched his head and looked at her with doubt.

Angela realized that she had said something wrong. So, she said, "Don't tell others!"

The guy understood immediately what she meant. "Okay. I swear I'll not tell others! They said you are Angela Si, right?"

"Yes. What's your name?" Since he looked very honest, Angela asked him.

"I'm Croton!"

"Ha ha! Really? Did I heard something wrong?" Angela couldn't help laughing. Actually, she really laughed a lot!

Croton scratched his head, "My name is Croton, C-R-O-T-O-N!"

"Well. Isn't croton a kind of plant used to treat constipation?" It was a rare name!

Croton looked at her with a worshipful expression and said, "Yes. You are right."

"It really is! Well, Croton, do you often feel a stomachache?" She was obviously playing jokes.

Croton said confidently, "Not at all. I'm from the countryside and I have a healthy body!"

"Well. That's great! Your parents are interesting!"

Croton felt a little shy and took a swig of his beer. "Can I call you Angela?"

"Of course! They all call me Angela!" Actually, many people called her Angela and it didn't bother her very much.

"Well. Angela, it's nice to meet you. Let's have a toast!"

Angela looked at Randal, who was talking with Director Liu. The director was amused. He had a great laugh!

She couldn't depend on Randal. So, she had to pick up the beer, "Well, I'm bad at drinking. Can I drink just a little?"

Croton shook his head, "Never mind. If you're bad at drinking, don't drink. It's okay."

His words made Angela feel warm, "Well, since you said that, I can have a drink!"

They proposed a toast and Angela drank a mouthful of beer.

However, some colleagues who had a close relationship with Randal came here with beer in their hands and started drinking.

As his girlfriend, Angela was obliged to drink beer and it seemed like Randal didn't want to help her. Therefore, she had to drink as much as possible.

After drinking two thirds of the beer, Angela knew that she could not drink

"You're my wife in name only, on paper only. My heart and love will never be yours."

Edward made it clear to Daisy that she was nothing to him. They were both victims of family greed -- the marriage was arranged for them.

Six years passed. She remained quiet, gaining a reputation in the army as a tough-as-nails colonel. When she walked into his life again, Edward fell in love with this woman...

any more. So, she sat on the sofa and had a chat with Croton.

Since Croton also graduated from the college of pharmacy, Angela had a really nice conversation with him.

Director Liu went to the washing room. When he returned, he was accompanied by another man. When they looked at the man, the people in the room got really excited.

"Doctor Gu!"

"Good evening, Doctor Gu!"

"Doctor Gu, are you here to sing with us?"

Although Arvin tried to seem nice, he still looked cold. Even so, the women were still crazy about him.

Director Liu turned off the music and calmed the people, "Doctor Gu was here with his friends and we met each other just now. Since Doctor Gu has known we are here, he wants to come here to propose a toast. Let's all welcome Doctor Gu!"

Then, people applauded immediately. As Arvin looked around the room, he suddenly saw a girl with a red face who looked quite startled. Afterward, he said, "Thank you!"

Then he picked up the beer bottle which was given to him by Director Liu and raised it, "You all have been working very hard. Today, have a fun and relaxing time!"

All the bottles clinked together and Angela had no chance to participate in the toast. However, it was also good since she needed not to drink.

Once his speech was done, Arvin went out of the room. After he left, people still discussed Doctor Gu.

About ten minutes later, several waiters carried a lot of drinks, snacks and fruits. "All of these are ordered by Doctor Gu. He wishes you all to have a happy time!" One of them said.

"My god! Doctor Gu is so considerate!"

"What to do now? I love him even more!"

"Me too! He deserves to be called our dream guy! I'm his loyal fan!"

...

Now, Angela sat in the corner, feeling really sleepy. She curled her lip, 'Are they blind? Arvin is an evil man!'

At ten clock, Angela couldn't stand anymore. She held on to Randal's arm, "Randal, I'm really tired. I want to go home!"

Randal also drank a lot of beer. At the moment, he was also drunk and his face has already turned red. He said, "I'm not done here. You can ask a driver to take you home!"

"..." Angela really wanted to give him a slap, but she was too tired to do this.

Never mind. It was not the time to fuss about this. She stood up from the sofa, went to the door and got out to ask for a designed driver.

After she closed the room door, the loud music was isolated inside. Angela swore she would never go to such place with Randal again.

Randal was too unreliable. She felt really disappointed!

After seeing a waiter, she leaned against the wall. "Hello, can you ask a designated driver for me?"

The waiter came and asked her, "Well, where are you going to?"

Where? Angela opened her mouth but no words came out of her mouth.

Her brain was kind of short out... She had no idea where to go.

Well, she decided to walk towards the elevator.

When the elevator door opened, she entered inside and ran into someone who was already in there.

When Angela smelled a familiar scent, she directly ran into his arms, hugged him and slept.

The next morning, Angela was woken by the doorbell sound.

When she opened her eyes, the ceiling looked differently. She looked at it with confusion in her eyes. After she have noticed the arrangement in the room, she realized that she was in a hotel.
