Andrew just found himself following Alveena behind. She was holding his hand as she gently pulled him toward their table where her friends, Selena and Erica, were waiting for them.
'Sigh, I gave in again to this girl's persistence. From the start, I already knew that she would be a troublesome fellow.'
Andrew could only sigh deeply, feeling helpless. Alveena always succeeded in making him do things against his will.
Meanwhile, Selena and Erica were still in their baffled state while staring at Andrew and Alveena who were now approaching their table.
They swooned after seeing Andrew took care of those two men who were trying to hit on Alveena. He even protected her from their lustful eyes the moment he covered Alveena's body using his own jacket.
"Oh my gosh, he is not only gorgeous but also a true gentleman. Alvee is so lucky tonight!" Erica blurted out.
"That's true. But wait… why do I feel like this man is a little bit familiar as if I've already seen him before. I just couldn't remember when and where." Selena said, trying her best to recall where she had seen Andrew.
Erica just laughed at her. "You are always saying that sissy whenever you see handsome men. Hahaha."
Selena pouted at Erica's teasing.
Unknown to Erica, Selena was telling the truth. She had seen the news article about the announcement of Andrew's engagement with Hannah. She just forgot about it.
Soon, Alveena and Andrew reached their table. She introduced Andrew to Selena and Erica. They welcomed and entertained Andrew warmly.
They tried to ask Andrew more about himself but they failed. He was just a man of a few words. He didn't want to talk much about himself. So in the end, the three ladies changed their topic.
They didn't want Andrew to feel uncomfortable with them. It did not take long when Erica and Selena went back to the dance floor. They tried inviting Andrew to dance with them but he politely refused them.

"You know what, you are truly Mr. Drunky. You just came here to the club for drinks. You don't even dance." Alveena shook her head in disappointment. She was mocking Andrew.
"How about you? Did you come here just to hook up with men?" Andrew spat back at her.
Instead of being offended, Alveena just giggled at his remarks.
"Why? Are you still jealous? Did you forget you are the lucky guy tonight? I chose you over them. Why are you still upset?" Alveena didn't let go of this opportunity to tease Andrew.
Andrew rolled his eyes skyward. "So shameless!"
"Hey, kidding aside, why are you here? You were just discharged from the hospital a few days ago. Why are you drinking again in a club? Do you want to get sick and go back to the hospital again?" Alveena sounded like a girlfriend who was scolding her boyfriend.
"Because I'm bored at home," Andrew promptly said. He was surprised as to why he was explaining to her.
Alveena let out soft giggles once more. "That's why you need me in your life. I assure you, you won't get bored when I'm with you! I will make your life fun and exciting."
Andrew: "..."
'What she meant by saying that? No thanks! I want a peaceful life, not a noisy one. She's equivalent to trouble.'
After a while, Alveena extended her right arm to Andrew.
"By the way, where is my perfume?" She asked him expectantly.
"Give me my branded perfume," she added.
"Seriously? Do you think I will bring it here? I didn't even expect that I would meet you here tonight." Andrew couldn't help but facepalm.
"Oh, right. Tsk Tsk Tsk. Then give it to me within this week! Okay?"
Andrew just nodded at her.
Alveena remembered something again. She picked up her phone and dialed someone's number. It did not take long when Andrew's phone rang.
His phone was inside his jacket's pocket which was wearing by Alveena right now. Before Andrew could get it from her, Alveena already fished out his phone in his jacket's pocket.
Alveena frowned and pouted after seeing the name of the caller on his phone screen.
[ Ms. Noisy Talkative Roaring Thunder ]
"I told you to save my number and named it Beautiful Alveena! Why the hell it became Ms. Noisy Talkative Roaring Thunder??! Where is the word 'Beautiful' there? And my name?" She ranted at him.
Andrew didn't respond to her. He just raised his eyebrow before snatching his phone from her. This time Andrew was the one who dialed her number.
Alveena's phone rang and Andrew's caller ID popped up on her phone screen. Andrew looked at her phone, checking out his name.
He also frowned upon seeing what was written on the screen.
[ Mr. Handsome Grumpy Drunky ]
"You don't have the right to complain. You also registered my number as Grumpy Drunky!"
"But I put handsome! Mine, you didn't!" Alveena complained exasperatedly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Why? Don't you find me beautiful?" Alveena asked him, facing Andrew while holding and shaking his shoulders.
Andrew: "..."
"Why are you acting like a child?" Andrew looked at her helplessly.
Alveena shot him a sharp glare and started throwing punches at his chest.
"Answer me. Am I not beautiful? Don't you find me beautiful?" Alveena felt like crying.
Andrew caught her hands and said, "You are beautiful."
Alveena stopped whining after hearing his last remarks. She gazed up to meet his eyes. Andrew was looking at her intently.
Alveena felt like everything around her just stop upon meeting his beautiful hazel orbs. Her heart started to run wild inside her chest.
*Badum* *Badum* *Badum*
'Did he just tell me that I am beautiful?' She was still in disbelief.
However, Andrew ruined the moment in an instant, when he spoke up his next words.
"But I find you more noisy and talkative." He said that with a straight face.
Alveena: "..."
Savage, Andrew! SAVAGE!
"Aww!" Andrew grunted because Alveena bit his hand that was holding her hand.
"I hate you! You are now the ugliest man in my eyes!"
Alveena immediately changed Andrew's name on her phone.
[ Mr. Ugly Grumpy Drunky ]
