Chapter 462
"You know how I've been a little crazy about Troy lately? He's holding a concert in Eldham in two days. I'm here early to show him support."
I sighed when I heard that. "You've spent a fortune on that man. How much more are you planning to waste on him? Aren't you worried Ian would find out?"
"It's money from my secret stash. They won't notice for the time being. Also, it's not every day that I fall for a celebrity. Can't you just let me have my fun?"
"Whatever floats your boat, I guess. It's your money anyway." As I walked out of the ward with Gary, I added, "It's not hard for you to be a fangirl when you're the head of the King Family, but don't play with the boy's feelings."
"Pfft. I'm no player," she scoffed.
"Alright," I told her. "I have something to do. I'm hanging up."
"Sure. I'll come to see you tomorrow."
Amy was in urgent need of a boyfriend to get Ian off her back. It was obvious that her being a fangirl was just an excuse. Since she had set her sights on Troy, she had no qualms about spending a lot of money to attract his attention.
After all, Troy would definitely grow curious about who rewarded him with such a large amount of
money during the live stream. It was only a matter of time before he found out about Amy.
That was a game for the youngsters; unfortunately, it was not something I would ever understand.
I sometimes did envy her for her age.
Speaking of which, what did I do when I was twenty years old?
Ah. I married Nicholas without hesitation. I wasn't that much different from Amy, was I?
After I hung up the phone, I handed it to Gary, who put it in my satchel for me. We then walked down the streets to the hostess club, and we arrived at the door in less than fifty minutes.
The walk was exhausting, and Gary insisted I get in the car throughout the journey. However, I honestly felt like throwing up whenever I saw the car.
Eldham was a prosperous city suitable for hardworking young men and women. As it was full of vigor, this city was better for the younger population than Bryxton, and the nightlife here was vibrant.
The hostess club Shawn went to was a grand and strict one.
Gary and I were denied entry at first, and we had to reveal our identities before the bouncer hurriedly bowed and apologized as he led us in.
After taking a few steps, a sturdy middle-aged man trotted over and respectfully began, "Ms. Felix! May I know what brings you here?"
"Have you seen Shawn?" I asked him.
There were only a few who knew that Shawn and I were married, but the fact that he was my fiancé was something everyone was aware of.
The manager looked at me like I was catching adultery in the act, and he didn't dare tell me where Shawn was. "I-I haven't seen him," he blurted out, which put a frown on my face.
"Is he not here?"
"N-No…."
My face quickly turned cold as I asked again. "Are you sure?"
He immediately started panicking. "Oh, Lord have mercy! I don't want to make an enemy out of you or Mr. Xenos, Ms. Felix! Can you walk around, especially on the fourth floor, and pretend you've never bumped into me?"
Shawn was on the fourth floor? Now, that was surprising.
I swiftly told the manager to leave before Gary and I entered the elevator to head to the fourth floor. Unlike downstairs, which was bustling, the corridor on the fourth floor was empty.
I then saw a fat man walking in my direction. He had a fair and beautiful woman in his arms as he hummed with a smile, "Shawn is here today. I'll have to suck up to him later."
The woman asked in return, "Do you even need to curry anyone's favor, hon?"
"Well, Shawn isn't just anyone."
"It's a pity that he has no interest in women." The woman sighed. "I heard from my girls that he kicked them out of the private room."
"Which room is it? I'm going there now."
"Room 407. He's not alone. There are a few other Eldham's young masters with him. Be careful not to let them get a hold of your weakness, hon."
"Don't worry. I know what I should do." The fat man suddenly turned to look at me. "Damn, she's gorgeous! What a refreshing sight she is. Is she new?"
The woman shifted her gaze which was thick with hatred for me when she heard that. "I don't know her. She's probably one of the young masters' companions. You should go to Shawn now, hon."
The fat man left after hesitating for a second.
It seemed like Shawn was more important to him than I was.
As soon as the fat man left, the woman immediately started chewing me out. "You ill-bred b*tch. Are you aware of where you're at?"
When I didn't answer her, she frowned again and asked, "Are you new here?"
I was in casual clothes that made me look completely out of place. She wasn't wrong about me acting discourteous.
Gary quickly started scolding the woman instead when he heard her. "Shut your trap! Are you sick of living or something? Even your manager was respectful to President Felix. Who the hell do you think you are? Now scram!"
He had been in the upper class for so long that even the air around him was unusually intimidating. The woman in front of us was already gawking at him with frightened eyes after he yelled at her.
But she looked familiar… She looked really familiar.
After thinking about it for a good minute, I asked, "You're Merlin's ex-girlfriend, aren't you?"
I was beaten up by Merlin's ex in Eldham before, and it was Shawn who rescued me. Seriously, enemies were bound to meet!
"It's you!" It took her no longer than a second to remember who I was.
Instead, I started mocking her, "Wow, you've become a hostess now, huh? That fatty looks like he's in his fifties or sixties. Is he your new wallet? And you were all affectionate when you went 'hon, hon'!" NôvelDrama.Org © content.
I was pretty good at insulting others, if I do say so myself.
"Zip it! Isn't Shawn your fiancé? He's here looking for other women! Do you really think he's true to you?"
Without faltering, I asked her with a smile, "But I heard you talk about how he kicked your friends out of his room."
She immediately fell silent when I said that.
After a long pause, she finally compromised. "You're a rich little lady who's also Shawn's fiancée. I'm not going to quarrel with you. There's no point in getting angry."
Merlin's ex—I mean, this one specifically, was an unreasonable woman comparable to a cannon that would go off anytime. She wouldn't have started throwing hands at me without finding out the truth otherwise. Her temper wasn't as fiery now, but she was the one who called me a b*tch, and yet she was also the one claiming that she didn't want to fight.
She must be scared of the person who had my back.
Becoming a hostess must have taught her to exercise restraint.
"Are you afraid?" I smiled.
"Don't get all cocky, Renee."
"No can do. I won after all."
Her face turned red from anger, and she turned around to leave.
I scoffed and brought Gary to Room 407 after that. After debating outside the door for a while, I pushed the door to the private room open.
The room was crowded, and the smell of alcohol filled the air.
I had to look around for a bit before I found Shawn sitting in a corner. When I saw no women beside him, I quietly let out a sigh of relief.
However, the front of his shirt was wide open. Judging from his pink cheeks and blurry eyes, he must have had one too many.
I began to walk in his direction to coax him, but just as I stepped into the room, a certain fat man called out to me. "It's you again! We met in the corridor earlier. Come now. Serve us!"
It was the fat man from earlier!
What a small world we lived in.
I flashed him a sweet smile. "Are you sure you want me to serve you?" I drawled.
