Chapter 514 Heartless (1/2)

If there were even words that could describe how Flora felt right now, it would be disturbed. Deeply, deeply disturbed.

The man, who she had given everything to, all of herself, her energy, her time, just gave his heart to another woman, just like that.

Much to her surprise now, it seemed that the only best friend she had also had Rachel on his radar.

No, she would never allow it to happen. She needed to act quick.

”What's up? I've never heard anything like that. You know I can't resist a powerful voice,” Marcus said carelessly. He saw Flora's expression and asked, ”Is something wrong?”

Flora took a glass of beer from the table, took a sip and shook her head before replying, ”A good singer? As the wife of the Streams Company's president, isn't it a shame of her to sing at such a humble place? It seems she doesn't think about her husband at all!”

Marcus couldn't believe what she was saying. He finished his beer in one chug and directed his attention back to the couple on stage.

”I didn't see her do anything wrong. Times are changing. She's entitled to her own happiness and independence. I don't think it is appropriate for anyone else to judge her, and look, her husband is here with her now,” he couldn't help but defend Rachel.

But his words poured oil over Flora's fire, and she became irate with Rachel.

”Marcus, please,” she complained and glared at him displeased, ”why are you speaking for her? Please don't forget that you're my friend, not hers!”

She scarfed down a bite of dessert and teased him, ”You know what? No one forgot the night you two spent together.”

Even though Marcus was always gentle in front of her, he was pissed and he was not hiding it.

”Flora, leave it in the past where it belongs,” Marcus said sternly.

”Are you mad at me?” Flora rumbled and saw the coldness on his face, ”please don't be mad. I'm drunk.”

She was pretty puzzled and found it hard to express her jealousy and insecurity.

She was also a woman and a lot more attractive than Rachel, but oddly, men never seemed to realize it.

Hiram knew that Rachel had slept with Marcus one night.
