Chapter 81: Chapter 81



A few turned around and looked at Nora.

She was standing quietly next to Sheril, her eyes drooping a bit, which made her look very sleepy.

She looked at Sheril nonchalantly and said, “I’ll call her when I get back to the States and tell her to come over to the Anderson’s for guidance.”

“…”

Then they were silent for a while.

Caden was the first to recover. He asked excitedly, “Can the Andersons really invite Tanya Turner?”

Ga ln ovels . com fuels your imagination He really rather liked Sheril.

Among the rich young ladies who were there to dance, Sheril was not only the prettiest, but she also had a kind aura about her.

In particular, she had a good personality and good values, she had never looked down on him despite her background.

Even when he bought a necklace worth about $150 with the money he earned from his part-time job and gave it to Sheril to test her reaction, she had immediately taken off the Van Cleef Arpels four-leaf clover insignia necklace she wore and put on the necklace he had given her.

She liked to dance, but only as a hobby. She was not addicted to it.

Instead, she preferred to stay in the lab to conduct pharmaceutical experiments, and she was a typical technology geek.

Caden had once taken her to his rental apartment. It was just a 430-square-foot studio that wasn’t even as big as her bedroom.

But she had sat on the couch with a cushion, smiled and said, “A smaller place feels cozier.”

She had a big personality. Although she occasionally showed a bit of a rich young woman’s temper, as when she had been angry when he refused to dance with Nora, she usually perked up after he cajoled her a little.

Therefore, if the Andersons were really capable of attracting Tanya, why should he make her angry?

But as soon as he said that, Rachel laughed softly. She looked at Sheril with a faint smile and asked, “Sheril, doesn’t your cousin know who Tanya Turner is?”

She looked back at Nora and said dispassionately, “Miss Turner is only going back to the States for a few days to participate in the filming of a dance program. Her schedule is very tight. Even the Woods only managed to contact her after calling in favors from many people…”

Several people on Rachel’s side who were trying to curry favor with her also chimed in:

“Yes, do you really think it’s that easy to invite Miss Turner? When she was abroad, she only taught classes for nobles and aristocrats!”

“I heard that even Whitney Lowe invited her to mentor her daughter during her return to America this time! Tanya Turner and Whitney Lowe participated in the international ballroom dancing competition together. Tanya was the champion.”

“We wanted to ask Whitney to teach some classes here, but even she wasn’t willing, let alone Tanya…”

“That person probably thinks she can bring anyone just because she’s rich. Many of us here are richer than the Andersons, but still, we don’t make it look as easy as she does…”

“…”

In the middle of their talk, Rachel said, “Okay, let’s say no more. Sheril’s cousin isn’t from around here, so she might not understand how things work in New York…. Let’s not hang around here anymore!”

She took Caden’s arm and said, “Let’s dance.”

Caden looked back at Sheril. Seeing that she kept quiet with a horrible look on her face, he walked away with Rachel in disappointment.

When the music started for the next dance, Sheril grabbed Nora and led her out of the ballroom.

By then it was dark.

The streets were filled with traffic and neon lights flickered in the darkness. The colored lights at the entrance of the dance academy illuminated Sheril’s face and you could see how the tears she had been holding back ended up rolling down her cheeks.

After looking at her for a while, Nora reached over and held her by the shoulders. Her eyes looked a little cold in the light. Suddenly, she turned around and started walking back to the dance studio.

Sheril grabbed her by the wrist. “Why are you going back there, Nora?”

A disgusted Nora said, “I’m going to drag him back here and make him apologize to you.”

Sheril shook her head. “No, that’s all right. You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink. Besides, Tanya Turner is the only thing on his mind. Her heart is no longer with me.”

Nora said, “Then I’ll bring Tanya. He’ll be willing to come and apologize if I do.”

Sheril was stunned. “Are you capable of bringing her here?”

Nora didn’t hide it from her. She nodded and replied, “We are friends. We met overseas.”

Friends…

No wonder Nora had said a moment ago that the Andersons might bring Tanya.

Sheril gave her a resigned smile and lowered her head. She said, “Even if we get Tanya close and he comes back to me, what if it happens again? If he keeps being tempted by outside factors all the time, what can I do the next time it happens?”

Nora frowned. She said clearly and bossily, “As long as you want it, I can help you control it forever.”

When one was strong and capable enough, getting the man she wanted was as easy as ABC.

If being with Caden would make Sheril happy, then they would just have to make it so he could never leave her, right?

It was only a little problematic in her case because Pete’s father was Justin.

If it had been anyone else, she would have taken her son with her by now.

As Nora secretly thought about it, she noticed Sheril staring at her dumbfounded, as if she was surprised by her theory. “Is that possible?”

This instead puzzled Nora. She said, “You’re rich and pretty – isn’t that something easily attainable for you?”

Sheril, “???”

In fact, she found herself a bit convinced!

Seeing that the idea seemed to move her, Nora asked, “Do you want to come back then?”.

“No, that’s okay.”

Although Sheril was no longer crying, she still felt very depressed. She said, “I already know he’s someone who will sacrifice me for the benefits, so why would I still love him? I may be sad now, but I will meet better men in the future. Besides, he’s not handsome anyway.”

She perked up and said, “Let’s go to the bar, Nora.”

“…”

Actually, what she wanted more than anything was to go home and sleep.

But seeing how dull Sheril’s usually bright eyes were, Nora sighed. “Okay.”

Sheril looked very sweet and docile, her straight bangs making her look even more of a student.

Because of that, Nora had thought that, at best, she would stick to drinking a can of beer.

In the end, when they sat down on the park steps, she pulled a bottle of vodka and some snacks out of the plastic bag she had bought at the supermarket.

Nora, “…”

Suddenly she found her feet on the ground.

The night was gradually getting darker and the moonlight was shining brightly.

The sky seemed wrapped in a layer of grayish gauze.

Most of the people exercising in the park had already gone home.

Nora rarely drank, so she didn’t know how well she could hold her liquor. After taking a couple of sips, she vaguely felt like she was seeing double.

Sheril took a big swig from the bottle and popped a few mouthfuls into her mouth. Then she drank again…

A dizzy Nora cocked her head to one side and asked, “Sheril, why is it two?”.

Sheril laughed and said, “How badly you can hold your liquor, Nora! You’re drunk.”

Was she drunk?

Nora stood up. Suddenly she picked up her cell phone, punched in a series of numbers and dialed.

Someone quickly answered the call.

Justin’s voice rang on the phone. “Miss Smith.”

Nora’s voice was low and cold. She said, “Mr. Hunt, I’m drunk, so…”

Justin had just come out of the bathroom. When he heard what she said, he paused and asked, “And?”

“Name your price!” The young woman said slowly, “I want to buy you …”
