Love or Leave Behind Novel

Chapter 79

“Bye.” Shelmained waved her hand nonchalantly.

Julien took a few steps before turning back to look at her. “Suddenly, I don’t feel like leaving.”

“I’m closing the door now.” Shelmaine smiled while closing the door.

Once the door was closed, she leaned against it. An unconcealable look of exhaustion instantly replaced her smile.

When Julien met Samuel, he quickly returned to his usual serious selt. After resolving the issue efficiently, they sat down to smoke. Since neither of them was much of a talker, they smoked in silence.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

ime as if waiting for a message.

Julien, however, glanced at his phone from time to time as

when his phone remained silent, he sent Shelmaine a message. Shelmine didn’t reply and was probably asleep. He was undeterred and sent another message with a meme. Finally, Shelmaine replied with another meme, which made him chuckle.

Samuel glanced over from across, but Julien was too focused on his phone to notice. When Jullen caught Samuel’s sharp gaze, he paused and asked, “So, what’s next?” Samuel remained indifferent. Want to go for a drink?

“Sure. It’s been a while since we hung out. I’ll make the arrangements.” Julien arranged a venue for the hangout. With just Samuel, Brody, and himself, he could easily find a spot. Samuri silently took another drag of his cigarette.

He didn’t drink when they first arrived at the bar. He only had a glass after pollen poured him a few. Meanwhile, Brody stood nearby like a statue, not drinking at all.

Julien noticed and jokingly invited him. “Come on, join us! Don’t be so upright. Isn’t it after working hours?”

Samuel also encouraged Brody to sit. “We’re off the clock now. Just relax,”

With Samuel’s approval, Brody sat down but hesitated to drink. After a while, he finally started drinking but would occasionally glance at Samuel.

Julien found it amusing and asked, “Is your boss so strict that you’re this nervous even after work?

“Mr. Gallagher, it’s nothing like that“:

“Why so stiff, then? Drink up! Don’t worry. Even if you guys get drunk, you won’t end up in a back alley”

“Mr. Gallagher, please don’t make such jokes… Brody felt uneasy.

“Fine, I’ll stop messing with you. My bad.”

Meanwhile, Samuel’s phone kept ringing. He ignored it and eventually switched it off in frustration. His irritation was obvious

On the contrary, Julien was in high spirits because Shelmaine had finally replied to him on WhatsApp

Although she was teasing him about being drunk, he was happy to receive her mocking,

Julien had texted, “I just started drinking, but I won’t get drunk since I have a high alcohol tolerance.”

Shelmaine had replied, “Are you done with work?”

Julien texted back, “Yeah. All done.”

Shelmaine replied, “Take it easy on the drinks, or you might end up in a back alley.”

Julien then replied, “That was exactly what I just said!”

Shelmaine sent back a text that simply read, “I don’t get it.”

Julien didn’t explain it to Shelmaine

When he was about to speak, Samuel’s voice rang out. “When is Josie’s engagement party?”

“Probably at the end of the month. She claims that she’s gained some weight and wanted to postpone it so that she could slim down,” Julien replied.

Samuel responded with a faint hum

Julien said, “By

by the way, what about you? I heard you’ve got something big coming up soon too. Why haven’t heard any news?

At the mention of this, Brody almost choked and secretly stole a glance at Sampel

Semurl remained expressionless as he leaned back in his chair. “I’m not sure

“What? I thought it would be happening soon. I was looking forward to attending your wedding,” Julen paused and deliberately added, “Although I missed it last time, I’m not missing if this time.”

Brody’s heart skipped beat as he felt the tension rise. He couldn’t understand why Julien would bring that kap
