[Titanic] Harbor

Erica finished what she had on her plate, but refused to drink.She looked around, hoping to find a 'dance partner'.Although in such an occasion, people who are alone may have one or another problem, but it is still better than being alone.

The unknown gentleman, whom she had met twice already, was dancing with a young and pretty lady.She watched for a while and found a strange phenomenon.

Erica thought that man should be a respectable elder, but now it seems that the other party is still participating in this normal social interaction, and even... there is no mistress in his family?

Erica couldn't help but pay attention to where the man was again.

The man wore a simple tuxedo, and the well-fitting tailoring fully reflected his tall and straight back.Strictly speaking, he shouldn't be too old.It may be that he grows faster, so it gives Erica an illusion of age.

What made Erica feel weird was the lady he was dancing with.This lady has some status, and she can be regarded as a conspicuous figure.

As far as Erica learned before, this beautiful girl in a goose yellow dress with a slender waist is the daughter of a millionaire businessman in the United States. I heard that she has a rich dowry and a passionate personality, which is the dream of gentlemen. type.

But such a girl was looking at the man with affectionate eyes at this time.

Although the dance was over, the girl didn't seem to want to leave the dance floor.

It seems that this gentleman is indeed powerful, so that such a strong sense of oppression on him can't make the girls retreat.

Of course, it may also be the entanglement of what interests?Otherwise, this gentleman doesn't seem like a guy who can dance well with people.

Erica felt a sense of awe towards this gentleman whose name she didn’t even know, as if an elite had met her own boss, no matter how powerful you were, you were just working in someone else’s hands, with power over life and death If it all falls on others, what room can there be for resistance?

But such a metaphor is inappropriate.Erica has always been someone else's boss from the past to the present. There was no one on her head in the past, and there will be no one in the future.

In addition, if one day, the power of her life and death falls into the hands of others, then she will definitely end it all first, instead of sitting there waiting for others to show mercy!

——So this inappropriate metaphor just shows Erica's fear of this strange man.

It was as if right now, her gaze was slightly scorching, and the man gave her a cold glance.

It seems that this man had a pretty bad first impression of her, maybe it will get worse?But she has nothing else to ask for from him, so is she still afraid that he will fail?

Erica raised an eyebrow and returned a mocking smile.For such a person who is similar to her nemesis, she has no affection at all!

Erica has fair skin and good facial features. As long as she maintains a good posture, everyone will say that she is a good and easy-going girl when it comes to dealing with people.

But this situation does not include when she raised her eyebrows and sneered.Whenever this time, she always looks very arrogant, and the raised eyebrows can destroy her gentle face and show a completely different effect.Such a face made Erica feel very surprised when she looked in the mirror for the first time.

And now, this expression did not live up to her full expectations, and it brought her a disgusted frown from that gentleman.

Erica felt that she really didn't have any pursuits, as long as she saw that this gentleman was not doing well, she would be relieved.I don't know how this feeling came about, but it's not bad to be able to develop such a feeling on such an unaccompanied ship.

"Erica, you're here too!"

Before Erica could provoke further, Ruth's voice interrupted her next expression.

Fortunately, this is the case, otherwise Erica might be able to childishly make a face for that gentleman. If that's the case, it would be too disrespectful!

"Ruth?" Erica turned her head and saw Ruth holding champagne behind her. "I thought you should be with Karl at this time."

"What did he do to you?" Ruth's reaction was quick. It seemed that she was not the first person to be attacked by Carl, and Erica felt that she had acted a little bit.

"It's nothing. If he did something, I can't stand in front of you and talk to you like this." Erica stood up, which gave her a considerable height advantage.

It's strange that she didn't realize this when the two met for the first time.

Sure enough, after having nothing to ask for, the world is easy to become clear.

Erica smiled. From this moment on, she really gave up the stupid idea of ​​hooking up with the rich and powerful, and started to be her true self.

"That's good. I think you don't know Karl very well. If he said anything to you or had any bad influence on you, please tell me. Because I don't want to lose you. friend."

Typical American pie.

Ruth's words sounded too straightforward, but it was precisely because her language lacked the implicit part that it sounded more frank, which also made Erica feel quite heartwarming.

"I will." She nodded and asked, "Did you encounter any trouble at noon today?"

"It's all over, your cloak has played a big role, I almost forgot to thank you." Ruth said with a smile: "Maybe I can invite you to have dinner at noon tomorrow, since that dress really gave you helped me a lot.”

"It's an honor!" Erica took a glass of champagne from the tray of the waiter who passed by with a champagne tray. "I'm glad I could help you. Everything will pass, cheers!"

"Bump!" The two ladies clinked glasses.

"Sorry. I think Ruth has already drank a lot, she is not fit to drink any more." Carl appeared from nowhere, he precisely cut off the wine Ruth was about to drink, and then said high-sounding words , while grabbing champagne.

This is very rude!

Also very disrespectful to Erica!

Erica raised her hand stiffly in mid-air.

This man simply doesn't know the rules!

Erica was angry, but she was better at enduring it.At this time, the situation is stronger than people, and she can still bear it.

"You are such a thoughtful fiancé. Ruth's 'lucky' to have you." Erica repeated the word 'lucky'.

As for what she meant, that's a matter of personal opinion.

At least Ruth, held in Carl's arms, gave Erica an apologetic look.

Erica returned a reassuring smile.While speaking, she had already handled her anger very well. Although she would not calm them down immediately, she would not let others see it.

Why bother?Karl is a nobleman who grew up holding a golden job, but even so, he will one day know that everyone needs to be respected.When he knows, it must be the time when he has received a huge lesson.

Erica was sure that her future self was capable of teaching him such a lesson.

As long as... she lives to escape Titanic.

She drank the champagne in her hand, and then smoothed herself out with a smile: "Ruth, I think I'd better put you back with Karl. He likes you so much that he sees other women occupying you." I’m not happy with your time! Then we’ll see you tomorrow!”

"I'm very sorry." Ruth moved her lips, and finally spit out this sentence.

Erica saluted the unmarried couple who were hugging each other and walked to the other side of the banquet.

The night is still long.If she leaves at this time, everyone will see her jokes. Only by holding on, can she not lose too much.

"She's not a good woman. You'd better stay away from her, Ruth, I'm doing it for your own good." Carl warned softly in Ruth's ear, "Do you have an appointment tomorrow?"

Ruth finally ignored that she was at the banquet. She struggled to break away from Carl's embrace, lowered her voice, and said angrily: "I thought it was my business to make friends. Erica is a good girl, and that I will see with my own eyes."

"Ruth!" Carl raised his voice slightly: "Answer my question, do you have a date with that woman?"

Ruth tried to resist, but out of the corner of her eye she saw her mother walking towards them, paused, and finally said reluctantly, "I asked her out for lunch tomorrow, thanks for the cloak .”

She glanced at Carl mockingly, and said, "Perhaps you will think that Erica's cloak is not a big deal. Without it, I wouldn't catch a cold!"

Before Carl could say anything, she bowed and said goodbye: "Sorry, I don't feel well. I have to go back first."

Ruth passed by Carl's side, she walked very quickly, it seemed that if she was not fast enough, she would be tightly grasped by this cage full of confinement power.

Even Mrs. Bucket, who came after her, looked at her sternly, but it didn't stop Ruth from leaving.

At least give her a relaxing evening!Without fear of her mother's stare, Ruth left the banquet hall without looking back.

"What happened, Carl? Did Ruth do something wrong?" Mrs. Bucket asked in a retreat.

"No." Carl watched Ruth out of his sight, and then he came back to his fiancée's mother and said, "It's just that she doesn't have very good friends. I'm worried about her. It's not bad, but now... she's just a woman abandoned by her family and her fiance, and no one can guarantee that she will do anything."

Apparently, Carl also blackmailed Erica in front of Mrs. Bucket.At least tonight, Mrs. Bucket will have a long talk with Ruth about her daughter's friendship problem!
