BXBX NOVEL Chapter 671 - Farewell Ceremony
At first, Lisa thought that the dinner was at a restaurant in the city center. Knowing that Indri\'s money was piling up, maybe as high as Mount Everest, Lisa thought that she would book a reservation at an expensive restaurant.
But it turns out that the woman held the farewell party at a karaoke bar. When Lisa arrived at the karaoke bar with Aaron and other co-workers, several of her coworkers had already filled the room.
Aaron and the others immediately blended in with their surroundings and enjoyed the red wine served. Unlike Lisa, who was still standing in the doorway. Her eyes caught Indri\'s presence who was sitting on one of the big black sofas.
The lights in the karaoke bar were neither too bright nor too dark. Dim light and several small green, red, blue, and yellow lights filled the room. A pop song that Lisa didn\'t recognize played slowly, mixed with the festive laughter.
Even though the room was packed with some of whom she didn\'t recognize, Indri\'s face and presence remained the most striking. The woman no longer wore her attires– a white blazer usually matched with pants or skirt of the same color. This afternoon, Indri wore a milky white short dress, showing off her cleavage, also high heels which were also white.
Her long hair was left loose, covering half of her face so that Lisa couldn\'t see her make-up. But even so, her beauty and presence still feel strong.
Not too long later, Lisa was pulled by her colleague and invited to taste an alcoholic drink which they said had a \'unique\' taste.
Sometimes, Lisa talks to some of her colleagues while enjoying the drink. Then her eyes always looked at Indri who was still sitting on the sofa. This dinner was supposed to be Indri\'s farewell, but the woman didn\'t say much. Even though it was her show, she kept quiet, not having any intention of greeting others.
Lisa, who had not been to entertainment like nightclubs and karaoke, felt cramped in a place filled with a sea of people. Her eardrums were ringing from the pop songs that were sometimes replaced by rock songs. Not to mention the sound of their laughter made her head feel dizzy.
Either it\'s because of the orange-flavored alcohol or the sound of their laughter. But luckily, Lisa has some friends to talk to who can distract her from all the discomfort.
And again, she didn\'t even see Cicilia at Indri\'s farewell party. Even though she knew very well that she liked events like this. Hanging out with friends, eating good food, gossiping, and singing songs. In essence, karaoke and nightclubs are Cicilia\'s favorite places.
Maybe she\'s busy, Lisa thought to herself.
Honestly, Indri didn\'t think that Lisa would come today. She didn\'t invite her on purpose because she knew that her heart would hurt and that feeling of irritation would fill her again when she saw her. And sure enough, when she saw Lisa enter the door of the room she rented, a fire sparked inside her chest.
Almost all the guests who came to the event took turns singing their chosen song. The atmosphere of the room was lively, but not quite the same as Indri felt. The woman felt empty even when almost all of her guests were dancing happily, following the rhythm of the song that was playing.
It\'s the same with Lisa. Even though she had refused to sing before, her hand was still holding the mic. Finally, the woman sang the song she usually played on her cell phone.
Not long after she finished singing, she felt the sofa next to her occupied. But Lisa didn\'t really care about that and quickly took a sip of water because, ugh... she didn\'t know that the drink made her throat burn!
At first, Lisa didn\'t care, but when she put the glass on the table, the corner of her eyes caught the figure of a woman she recognized. Suddenly, Lisa turned and saw Indri sitting next to her.
Seeing Indri\'s face from a close distance made Lisa realize one or two things that the woman had changed. Her cheeks are getting thinner, thinner than usual, her eyes look sad even though her lips flashed a wide smile.
Falling in love with someone you can\'t have is the most painful thing. Whether it\'s a man or a woman, their hearts must be broken, and for a few days, they will definitely not have the strength to get out of bed.
Oscar rejected Indri\'s love outright and chose Lisa over her, but to be honest, Lisa couldn\'t bear it and sympathized with Indri.
"Lisa, hello! Geez... I didn\'t expect you to come to my farewell party." Indri said enthusiastically. The woman took the initiative to open the conversation first, since neither of them had made a sound.
Lisa just nodded her head and said, "Can you come out for a bit? I want to talk to you."
Indri\'s expression immediately changed drastically. The woman showed no sign of refusing or agreeing to Lisa\'s request. She just looked at her with a straight face.
Lisa no longer cared whether Indri wanted to come out and listen to what she had to say, so she stood up from the sofa and walked towards the exit.
For the next few moments, Indri was silent and looked towards the exit. On the one hand, she wanted to go out and listen to what Lisa had to say. But on the other hand, she is too lazy to do it. She was actually afraid that Lisa would brag in front of her, whether it was about work or Oscar.
Finally, after drinking the beer she brought, Indri got up from the sofa and followed the steps Lisa had taken earlier. Not long after she came out, she saw the figure of Lisa standing not far from the room she had rented.
Lisa nodded her head, gesturing for Indri to follow her. Since she had never been to this karaoke bar, she was not familiar with it at all. Instead of getting caught by others, Lisa decided to take the woman to the bathroom.
"Here?" Indri scoffed, again with a blank look, "Seriously? Why don\'t you go outside?"
