Mr George, Don't Be So Arrogant

Riley was agonized and pinched on the bridge of her nose. Today had been a mess. All she wanted to do was just being alone. “I’ve told you there’s no need. Don’t come over. I’m leaving.”

Hendrix was disappointed and pursed his lips. His sister-in-law’s refusal made him unhappy. But Riley was a resolute person. No one could force her to do anything she didn’t want to do.

“Alright. If you want to have a drink, come and find me. I’ll let my friends go and be with you!”

“Have a good time and just leave me alone.” Riley hanged up hurriedly. She didn’t want to get in touch with Euan. Even if it was just his brother, she didn’t want to talk much to him.

Apart from the noisy bars, there were several simple pubs around. They were quiet enough to enjoy for a while there.

She parked the car and walked in a nice and clean pub.

Elijah saw Riley get out of the car and walk into the pub. He asked in worry, “Boss, shall we follow?”

She must hate to see him after the unpleasant dinner. Euan rolled down the window slowly and watched Riley staggering at night. He was filled with complicated feelings, but he couldn’t come to hold her. “No. We just wait here.”

“OK.”

Elijah seldom saw his boss being so sad. He could tell Euan’s sadness without looking at him.

There were quite a lot of people in the pub. Some people got drunk alone. Some people were mumbling drunken gibberish. Others were weeping out on the phone.

Riley washed her face in the bathroom and removed her eyeliners. Then a clean and delicate face reflected in the mirror.

But her swollen eyes after crying was obvious without make-up.

She went back to the hall of the pub and sat on a corner.

“Mr. George, what are you looking at? What’s wrong with you?”

Hendrix didn’t answer his friend. He gazed at the dramatic scene.

What happened? Didn’t she go back home? Why she was here?

Hendrix was about to come to ask Riley when he saw Euan’s car parking under the tree outside.

Hendrix wondered if it were his illusion, but he didn’t get drunk today. Then why Riley was drinking alone in the pub, while Euan was in the car to watch her? What was going on?

“Riley!”

Hendrix suddenly came over. He took a chair and placed it between Riley and a strange man, putting his hand on Riley’s shoulder with enthusiasm and being naughty like a child.

Riley was surprised, “Hendrix? You…”

Bad luck. Why Hendrix would be in the same place? Didn’t he like bar? Why he was in a pub? This was not his style at all.

“What a coincidence! Riley, we obviously are families. But why I don’t see Euan? His car seemed to be outside.”

Had Euan followed her?

Riley was too hurt to talk. She took a sip of water, “He…”

“You two had a quarrel? Riley, quarrel is not a big deal for a couple. It will be OK soon. If you are not happy, you can take a rest in the George's Mansion. I can go with you!”

Riley didn’t know what to say in front of Hendrix. “Yes, we had a quarrel. Don’t lend a hand in our affairs, or your brother might hit you.”

Hendrix grinned and played with his decorations hanging on him. “Riley, Euan appears to be cold but is inwardly warm-hearted. He’s a good man. He seems to be strict and cold to me, but actually he cares me a lot. He pays all the expense of my hanging out.”

Being cold outwardly and warm-hearted inwardly? Maybe it was so. But it had nothing to do with her anymore.
