Chapter 247 - Everything For Emerson (2/2)

”I'm going to the bathroom too. I'll speak to you when I get back,” Marissa said to Danson.

Danson nodded, but as he watched Marissa walk away, he noticed she began to sway a little.

It was her first time drinking alcohol and didn't know her tolerance yet. So, out of concern, he quickly chased after her.

But, just as he turned the corner, he noticed Marissa grab onto Emerson's sleeve.

Emerson turned around in surprise and looked at Marissa.

She stumbled a little and he subconsciously grabbed her shoulders to support her. ”Are you OK?” he asked.

Marissa giggled and nodded her head, ”I'm just a little dizzy.”

Emerson smiled and shook his head, ”You should stop drinking. It's your first time so you don't know your tolerance yet.”

Marissa hooked her arms around Emerson's neck. ”Are you worried about me?” she asked seductively as she leaned in.

Emerson quickly tried to pull the woman off him, ”Of course, we're friends.”

Danson watched this scene and clenched his fists. His woman was acting affectionate with another man. But, she was clearly drunk and this man was his best friend so he tried to remain calm.

However, just as he thought this, Marissa leaned forward and placed a kiss on Emerson's cheek, ”Can we be more than friends?”

When Danson heard this, he felt his heart shatter. Did he hear incorrectly?

Emerson pushed Marissa away and said, ”Marissa, I think you're drunk. Let's get you home.”

But, Marissa pounced back onto him, ”I'm not drunk. Emerson, I've liked you since the first year of high school. I've always liked you. Haven't you noticed?”

Emerson looked at the woman in surprise, ”What are you talking about? We're just friends.”

”But I don't want to be friends. Everything I've done was to get close to you and make you mine. I befriended Danson so I could get close to you, I made myself beautiful to attract you, I even studied hard so I could get a scholarship into Hong Kong university with you. Aren't you moved by what I've done?”

”We can go to university together and continue seeing each other every single day.”

Danson listened from around the corner and gritted his teeth in anger. Was this the reason they became friends? Did she date him because she needed his money to make herself beautiful for Emerson? Was she breaking up with him now that she was done with him?

2 years. He had spent almost 2 years with this woman. But, while his feelings for her were sincere and growing day-by-day, she had used him all along!

Everything she did was for Emerson!

Emerson shook his head and pushed Marissa over to a chair. ”Sit here and sober up. I'll go get Danson to take you home. You've drunk too much.”

As soon as Emerson stepped away, Danson walked up to the woman and glared down fiercely at her. ”You need to pay for using me,” he frowned. He then lifted her in his arms and carried her out of the bar.
