Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

The next day, Chen Zhao was woken up by Ethan.

Chen Zhao didn't drink much, but it was too late to play, so he slept until noon.

"Chen, if you want to have this kind of party next time, remember to call me." Ethan's face was still a little flushed, and he didn't know if it was because he was still hungover.

Ethan has attended many parties, but he has never attended a rich party like this.

Chen Zhao rolled his eyes: "Remember, unless it's your wife, you must."

"Okay, I'll pay attention." Ethan didn't seem to have listened to Chen Zhao's words.

At this time, Li Qing came in with food: "Mr. Ethan, Mr. Chen."

"Put the things on the table. In an hour, tidy up the room."

"Okay, Mr. Ethan."

"It's time for me to go back. If you have business today, don't contact me. I have a day off."

"I really don't understand why you want to move away. Wouldn't it be nice to live here so you don't have to go to both sides so much?"

"Because you want money here."

"But you also need money to rent a house, and it's more expensive than here. You also have to decorate and buy furniture."

"At least the furniture belongs to me."

"Okay, as long as you're happy."

"What about that woman?"

"Who? Are you talking about Li? She is very diligent. If I had never been married, I would have wanted to marry her."

"Do you have a wife now?"

"Just because I was married, I no longer want to get married."

At this moment, Chen Zhao's phone rang. It was a strange caller.

"Hey, who's there?"

"Chen, it's me, Yafen. I'm not feeling well. Do you have time?"

"Of course, are you at home? I'll go over right away...Okay, see you in half an hour."

"Didn't you say you won't pick up clients today?"

"It was a female client, and she was a beautiful actress."

"Damn, you're so lucky," Ethan cursed.

"Has Paul brought your car back? Send me there."

"Asshole, I'm not your chauffeur."

…

In the end, Ethan drove Chen Zhao to Beverly Hills.

Chen Zhao entered Yafen's home and was still by the swimming pool.

Yafen was shirtless and wearing sunglasses, lying on a sun lounger.

"Yafen, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Yafen could repay the favor. She went to audition this morning and successfully got the role.

Although she is only the third female lead, it is a super A-level commercial movie, and there are only a few of them every year. Even if it is a role with lines, it is the first among actors of their level.

This is already the most important role she has ever played.

They both took a dip in the pool and took a short break.

"Chen, are you familiar with Mr. Steven?"

"Fortunately, he is also my client. In fact, I didn't help you much."

"That's enough."

Holding Yafen's waist, her boldness and enthusiasm made Chen Zhao unable to stop.

"Let's go lie down inside for a while."

What can a woman say to a man that best satisfies his vanity? That’s it…

Chen Zhao is in this situation now, so Chen Zhao is a bit...

"Stay here tonight?"

"No, I really should go. There is another patient who has made an appointment with me tonight." Chen Zhao said with a pale face.

If I stay here for one more night, I will really turn into a mummy, Chen Zhao thought to himself.

"Okay, be careful on the road."

Chen Zhao had already asked Vincent to pick him up, and the car arrived at the door not long after.

"Chen, that woman is really the best. How did you hook up with her?" Vincent glanced at Yafen standing at the door.

"Drive your car."

"Looks like you're getting drained by that woman."

Chen Zhao ignored Vincent's ridicule and quietly leaned back on the back seat.

Because Beelzebub and other demons are still in the hotel, Chen Zhao must go to the hotel to pick them up first.

…

In an ordinary community, Chrissy had just returned from get off work at a dress shop, but she saw her boyfriend coming out of the house.

"Nance, do you want to go out?"

"Well, yes." Nance nodded.

"Nance, you are very tired from work, why don't you take a good rest at home?" Chris saw her boyfriend with obvious dark circles in his eyes, and couldn't help feeling a little distressed.

"It's something." Nance's response seemed a little cold.

"Okay, do you want me to go with you?"

"No need." Nance didn't look back and got into his car.

Chris looked at the direction the car was leaving, her brows furrowed tightly.

He didn't know why, but he always felt that Nance seemed to have changed.

Ever since they got engaged, no, ever since they moved here, Nance has been acting strangely.

In the past, Nance was a very energetic man. It was precisely because of Nance's optimism that Chrissy decided to entrust her life to him.

But since moving here, Nance has become a little gloomy.

And she received a call from Nance's company at the same time, asking if Nance had encountered anything in his life.

Nance went berserk for no reason in the company several times, and even got into fights with others.

What makes Chris feel the most creepy is that Nance's recent behavior has become more and more weird.

Sometimes, she woke up inexplicably at night and saw Nance sitting alone by the window, holding a mirror, as if talking to someone.

And Nance looked increasingly gloomy, as if his temperament had changed into another person.

He got angry for no reason, but became more and more cold towards her.

This made her feel very uneasy. It's not like she hadn't thought about finding a psychiatrist for Nance, but Nance wouldn't accept it at all, saying that Chris was just messing around.

Chrissy suddenly felt that she needed to find out what was going on with Nance.

She also turned around and got into her car, chasing after Nance.

Chris thought a lot. She wondered whether Nance had other women outside, and wondered whether he had picked up any bad habits or gotten into some trouble.

But whatever the reason was, she had to figure it out.
