Sweet Love

Chapter 1: Scattered Clothes on the Floor

October goes by along with the endless rain and the shrouding icy chill in the City Marea.

Macy Downey is driving into a high-end apartment community downtown, where her ex-boyfriend, Eliot

Penn’s apartment is located.

She desperately needs money and evidence at the moment so as to get rid of the financial crisis of her

family business. Her father was arrested and her mum’s health condition got worsened for the crises.

Besides Eliot, she can’t think of anyone to ask for help.

Her mind had lingered on her situation until she came to herself before she pushes the door to enter.

Unlike the damp and cold staircase, the entire apartment is enfolded by the soothing heat. On the floor,

clothes are scattering, including men’s business suits and women’s lingerie.

Macy pauses, stretches her arm to reach the unlatched door, and pushes it.

“Oh my god! Who are you?” Screams the lady on the bed inside, who speedily grabs a quilt to cover

her chest.

The ultimate moment of joy is therefore ruined by this incidence. Eliot lets out his anger with his

swearing and turns his head over to the door. Seeing Macy’s presence and her pale face, Eliot is

startled and he asks: “How come you are here?”

Macy feels disgusted with these two naked bodies in front of her, but she still tries to put on a smile and

says, “Eliot, could you spare some time for me please? We need to talk.”

“For what?” Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

Eliot ironically studies Macy’s charming figure, “What a surprise. The young missy from the Downey’s

came for me in person. Every dog has his day!”

Macy pinches herself in the back of her palm to maintain her calmness. “Eliot, I really need your help

right now. Could you please lend me some money for the sake of our previous relationship? I promise I

will return it to…”

“Our previous relationship?”

Eliot bursts out laughing as if he had heard a joke. “Miss Downey, have you lost your memory? You

said you would never have any connection with me the last time you broke up with me. Why do you

come to me for money now? What do you plan to hold in pledge if I lend you?”

“You or the rubbish business of Downey’s?”

“Eliot…”

“Never mind!” Eliot cut off their conversation. “I am very busy now. Either you get out by yourself or you

stay and have fun with me. I don’t mind trying some new stuff tonight.”

Macy gazes at these two people in front of her. Her pride has been fiercely smashed. Knowing it will

not help to keep trying at the moment, she leaves without a second thought.

Outside of the complex, Macy purses her lips shakily, numbly staring at the stream of vehicles on the

road.

Simultaneously, a black Maybach sedan is gradually coming towards.

“Sir, the lady in the front seems to be the second young master’s girlfriend, Miss Downey.” said the

chauffeur.

“Is that her?”

The man at the back seat switches his attention from his documents to the slim lady in the rain outside

his car. A touch of her wet hair sticks on her pale little face.

This lady who used to be high-spirited and glamorous, now gains a more delicate and likable

temperament.

It seems that Macy has finally squared her shoulders and walked towards the stream of traffic.

The scratchy noise of car brake suddenly resounds in the rain.

Macy is taken aback and falls on the ground.

The chauffeur is shocked because he did not expect Macy to run on the road so suddenly.

“Phew…phew…” The wiper blades are wiping the raindrops on the window. The chauffeur is surprised.

“Sir, Ms. Downey…”

The man at the backseat frowns. After a while, he gets off.

Macy is still on the ground, the headlight is cast on her, which fully exposes her embarrassment to the

public.

A black umbrella is opened above her and the raindrops stops falling on her body.

Macy is stunned. She sees a pair of shining black leather shoes in the turbid puddle. As she is looking

upwards, she sees the strong and long legs of a man…and…

She sees a familiar face.
