Chapter 42 The Treatment Exclusive To The Best Pimp
All of a sudden, a deafening honk roared amid the silence of the streets.
The loud sound struck Eliana like a bolt from the blue.
Startled, she snapped out of her daze and returned to her senses just in time for a car to brake hastily inches away from her.
"Screw you!" the driver barked, furious.
He shot her a fierce glare from the windshield.
Eliana, despite having regained herself, was still stunned.
She hurriedly looked around to ascertain her surroundings, and realized that she was standing smack dab in the middle of a busy road teeming with cars.

"I-I’m sorry…"
Facing the driver’s justified anger, she was quick to bow and apologize as sincerely as she could.
Just then, someone grabbed her wrist from behind and pulled her away from the car-filled road.
The palm wrapped around her wrist was large and masculine.It was the hand of a man.
Eliana found herself dragged unwittingly from where she stood and to the safety of the sidewalk.
Preston’s handsome face fell into her view.His attractive features were strained with concern and anger.
"Are you crazy? What if you get hit by a car?!"
Eliana stared at Preston’s furrowed brow and bright eyes, startled by his unexpected appearance.
All the sorrow and misery in her heart washed over her like water out of a broken dam, and suddenly, she couldn’t control her emotions.
Without an ounce of hesitation, she flung herself into his strong arms and dug her face into his warm chest.
When she spoke, it was in a childish tone full of pleading.
"Hey… Can I borrow you for a minute? Please…?" Maurice paused.
At that moment, time stood still and silence reigned between them.
The only clear sound was the subdued rhythm of their pulsating hearts. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
"What’s the matter?"
Maurice closed his arms around Eliana’s waist and ran his hands through her soft black hair to comfort her.
"I’m in a bad mood." Eliana replied vaguely, not bothering to dive deep into the details.
After all, she couldn’t possibly tell him what had taken place the night before.
Despite her curt response, Maurice didn’t question her.
Instead, he accompanied her quietly just as she had requested.
A long time passed before Eliana finally raised her head from his chest.
Red dusted her cheeks as she muttered shyly, "Umm, you see… I want to get some drinks.If you pay the bill… Will you get a discount?"
Maurice had waited for her to speak for quite a while, and didn’t expect this to be the first thing she would say.He was caught by surprise.His lips quirked up into a smile before he burst into amused laughter.
They entered his Aston Martin, and he drove to the Imperial Golden Club.
Once there, he stopped the car right at the entrance.
Eliana was about to get out but stopped instantly when Maurice interrupted her with a curt call.
"One second."
Eliana wondered what he was planning.He stepped out of the driver’s seat, and then made his way to the passenger seat to open the door for Eliana from the outside.His charming, gentlemanly conduct surprised and flattered Eliana.
Never did she expect him to be so attentive to her! As Maurice escorted Eliana out of the car, their gazes met.
In his eyes, Eliana could see warm affection and adoration.
The two stepped into the club’s premises and soon passed the entrance gates.
As Eliana and Maurice walked, the waiters passing by stopped briefly to give the two a short, respectful nod before returning to their tasks.
Their show of respect puzzled Eliana, who couldn’t understand why all of them were acting that way.
She promptly tugged at Maurice’s sleeve and whispered curiously, "Are they always like this?"
Maurice turned briefly to her.
His eyes shone with a mischievous glint as he grinned at her and said teasingly, "This is the treatment exclusive to the best pimp.They wouldn’t do the same to others."
"I see! You deserve it," Eliana replied seriously, her face the expression of dawning comprehension.
Never in her wildest dreams did she imagine the most famous pimp to enjoy such a distinguished position in the Imperial Golden Club.
A thought crossed her mind.
What of the discount on the drinks later on? A little while later, Maurice and Eliana reached their private room.
Inside, Eliana immediately ordered all kinds of alcohol without the slightest hint of restraint.
Maurice couldn’t stop her, nor did he have any intentions of doing so.
After all, it was so much better for her to seek solace in drink rather than suffer the alternative of crushing misery.He didn’t love best Pimp want her to remain in the throes of depression.
It didn’t take long for the thought to slap him in the face after the alcohol was served.
Eliana’s restraints were non-existent.She downed an entire bottle of wine in one go, and immediately opened the next with little reservation.She brought it to her lips and chugged it down with great relish, taking gulp after gulp without a moment’s pause.
In just a short while, empty wine bottles piled up into a small mountain.
Maurice was beside himself with shock.
Frowning, he finally decided enough was enough and grabbed the bottle in Eliana’s hands, taking it away from her grasp.
"What do you think you’re doing?"
Eliana, who was now more than a little drunk, was red all over from the intoxication.Her fair complexion was flushed a dark crimson, and her hazy eyes were unfocused from the alcohol.
"Are you trying to kill yourself by drinking this much?"
Maurice gritted his teeth in frustration and pressed her against the wall in warning His reprimand had no effect on Eliana, who simply replied with a foolish smile.
The next second, she passed out on the floor, muttering incoherently to herself as she lost all consciousness.
Looking at the blacked out Eliana, Maurice felt his anger disappear.He sighed helplessly and helped her back up, putting her by his side.
"What happened to you…?"
Had what occurred last night vexed her so much? As he pondered this, Eliana suddenly moved and raised her head.Her soft lips brushed his chin with such gentleness that his heart skipped an excited beat.
Blood surged to his face, heating up his cheeks as his heartbeat thumped loudly.He lowered his head ever so slightly to stare at Eliana’s closed eyes.
They were so near that the distance between them was nearly nonexistent.
Suddenly, he found himself breathless.
Unable to stop himself, he succumbed to his urges and bent down to give her a gentle kiss on the lips.
