Demons Beside You
chapter-61

After sunset, guests arrived one after another.

The party also started officially. Nevertheless, even in the party itself, there were many small gangs.

Those who knew each other grouped up. Many ladies were also playing near the swimming pool.

In the American society, party has always been an essential social occasion.

It is just like how Chinese people like to talk about business over a meal.

Chen Zhao had no idea where Ethan had gone to. He stared at Zola, who also looked back at him.

Today, Zola was dressed up carefully. Her entire body was emitting a noble and elegant temperament.

“Chen.”

“Zola, I thought that you wouldn’t come today.”

“I was busy in the company, so I’m late. How about a drink together?” Zola gave Chen Zhao a glass of wine, after which she gently tapped Chen Zhao’s glass with her own.

Chen Zhao felt that she had been spending the time on makeup instead.

“It’s too noisy here. Let’s go somewhere quiet.”

Warmth after the battle

After a while, Zola sat on the bed and lighted herself a stick of cigarette. “Do you want one?”

“Nope. My addiction isn’t strong.” Chen Zhao also smoked, but only rarely.

“Chen, you have a girlfriend?”

“No.”

“Do you need me to introduce one to you? Don’t worry; it’ll be a good girl.”

“Nope.”

A woman who was having such a relationship with Chen Zhao wanted to introduce a girlfriend to him.

Which man in the world would be able to happily accept this?

Only fools would accept such a suggestion.

At least Chen Zhao was not stupid enough to believe that Zola was really going to introduce a good girlfriend to him.

“You’re too alert.”

“I really don’t need one. Perhaps I will in the future, but now I’m not ready for a stable relationship yet.”

“I’m just worried that you’ve got nowhere to spend your energy.”

“I still have you.” Chen Zhao pulled Zola’s arm.

“Do you still want it?”

“I feel that I didn’t perform well just now, so I’m going to make up for it.”

It was another tiring and satisfying round. Only then, Zola put her clothes back on.

“Do you want to meet my friends? Perhaps they will become your clients next time.”

“No. I need some rest.”

“Alright. If you need me later, I’ll be in the lobby.”

Soon after Zola had left, Chen Zhao started putting on his clothes, when a lady suddenly rushed into the room in a hurry.

Chen Zhao was familiar with the lady, or rather the lady’s body.

It was Yafen, the small actress.

“Chen, I didn’t expect to see you here.”

“Yafen, are you also here for the party?”

Yafen was not really bothered by Chen Zhao’s nakedness. It was not the first time she saw it anyway.

Yafen glanced at the room. “Wait. I’ll talk with you later.”

Then, she charged into the restroom.

After a minute, Yafen walked out with a relaxed expression.

“Chen, why did you put your clothes back on?”

“Err… If you need it, I can remove them again.”

Yafen locked the door from inside. “Then lose them.”

Before Chen Zhao could say anything, Yafen already leapt towards him.

“Chen, why are you here?”

Yafen’s skin had an abnormal redness. “Have you been injecting cholesterol recently? It’s bad for you; too much cholesterol will destroy your bodily functions.”

“I no longer need it.”

“Did you pass the audition?”

“No, I failed. I lost to a bitch!”

In fact, Yafen was not mad about her competitor sleeping with the director, but the fact that she was slower.

“Why did you come to this party?”

“To find new opportunities. You know that I’m only a small actress. I need more roles that people can remember.”

“Have you found it?”

“No. I’m not the only woman here. The owner has invited many women. I’m not the prettiest of them, and every valuable target already has many.” Yafen lied before Chen Zhao. “How about you? Why are you here?”

“The owner is my client.”

So he’s Rasfa’s personal doctor. Yafen was somewhat disappointed.

She had originally thought that Chen Zhao and Rasfa had some secret relationships. In that case, she would be happy to donate her body.

Unfortunately, a mere personal doctor was clearly not useful to her.

Yafen had no intention to stay for any longer. After finishing with Chen Zhao, she left the room in a hurry.

To be honest, she was just like a high-class social butterfly. Before she successfully becomes famous, she could only obtain various roles through such methods.

She did have an agency to help her, but the agency would only arrange insignificant roles for her.

Yafen was a clear-headed woman. She knew that it was time for her to work hard.

She was not like most new actresses who stepped into Hollywood uncertain of the situation. She knew how difficult her journey was and also what she had to pay.

Those glamorous Hollywood stars might have even more cruel and embarrassing past than Yafen before they became popular.

Chen Zhao left the room only to hear Yafen arguing with someone else.

Turning around the corner, he saw Yafen stopped by a man who was in his thirties. Chen Zhao walked up directly. “Yafen, do you need help?”

The man raised his head and looked at Chen Zhao. “Mr., you have no business here. Please leave.”

Yafen frowned. “Chen, go first. I’m fine.”

Chen Zhao did not leave and still stood there. “Are you sure?”

Yafen seemed to be in a difficult position. The man said, “Can you not understand English? Scram!”

However, Chen Zhao simply ignored the man and only stared at Yafen. “Yafen, tell me if you’re in trouble.”

The man’s hands were suspiciously hidden behind Yafen. Chen Zhao could tell what he was doing without looking.

Yafen hesitated for a while. Finally, she plucked up the courage to escape from the man’s hands. “Chen, let’s go.”

“Yafen, if you dare to leave now, I can guarantee that you’re never going to receive another role,” the man threatened, his face darkening.
