The Gorgeous Ex Girlfriend
/ The Gorgeous Ex Girlfriend Chapter 241
Samantha Li, a mixed breed child of an Irish mother and a Chinese father, who had inherited nothing from her mother's ancestors except their famous temper, smiled at him evilly . She was twenty five years old, too old to still be a college student but then that was a long story .
"By now you should know enough to not stress about me . Are YOU worried that you would lose yet again?" she taunted him .
Giving her a thumbs down, he slid off the stool, walked past her to take up the empty chair next to Wei on the opposite side .
"Hi, I am Michael . What's your name?" he nudged him and asked with a smile .
"F*** off," Wei told him politely, without even looking at him .
Not taking offence to his choice of words, Michael tried again, "you look sad and a tiny bit lonely . Would you like some company?"

Wei raised his head and stared at the guy .
"I am very sad and extremely lonely . So much so that I feel like killing someone with my bare hands just to feel some warmth . Would you like to volunteer?" he said, maintaining the soft tone .
There was something in the way that he had uttered those words that Samantha got off the stool and dragged her friend away, right that minute .
"What? Don't tell me that you got scared of that good looking guy's threat . You did realise that he is half my size," he said in annoyance .
Michael was stoutly built, member of the Rowing club at the university and extremely confident about his 'core strength' .
"No, I got swayed by the truth of his words . Let's go somewhere else to fulfil our bet," she coaxed him .
A couple of hours later
Wei had finally managed it . He had numbed any and every sensation in his body . At the moment, he wasn't capable of feeling any emotion . Stepping out of the pub, he swayed slightly but the Earth was still firm under his feet . He looked around for a cab and luckily found one with someone alighting from it .
"Hey, watch where you are going," someone banged into him .
He had just entered the cab from one end while a scary looking woman got in from the other side .
"I entered first," he told her, slurring only slightly .
"Really? Where is the proof?" the young woman arched her eyebrow and asked him .
"Guys, I don't have the entire night while you squabble . How about the both of you get off and I find myself a new customer?" the irate cabbie told them .
"Where do you need to go? If it is the same route, we can share," the woman said quickly .
Wei's head was beginning to register its protest at being subjected to a large volume of highly concentrated barley in the past three hours . He just nodded and brought out his hotel's card key .
The woman looked at it and rattled off the instructions to the driver . She had recognised him as the man from the pub, earlier .
By the time that fifteen minutes journey got over, Wei's head was ready to come off from his neck anytime now . It had been swinging from one side to the other as the cabbie was showing off his motor racing skills on an overcrowded street .
If she didn't have to worry about her mother's phone ringing at the college dorm in exactly 25 minutes, she would not have ridden the same car as this man . That was the time stipulation which her mother had put on her every time she stepped out of the college hostel .
Gawhhhh! She could literally smell the misery coming off him . And Samantha ran away from all kinds of sadness, lest it recognise her and follow her home, again . Reaching the hotel, she nudged the guy hard but he seemed oblivious .
"Get him off my car," the cabbie said rudely .
She was tempted to just push him off the car but…
Sighing, she alighted and dragged out the man with her . Since she had the room key in her hand, she might as well do it instead of calling and explaining the situation to the uppity looking hotel and its staff . She hated calling attention to herself .
By the time, they reached the room, she was red in the face with the exertion . He was coherent enough to mumble something every few seconds but not enough to drag his own body weight till the bed .
"I should have left him at the cold floor outside the hotel . Me and my sucker heart for losers," she muttered angrily .
