At the side, Sam immediately became energetic and cheerfully tilted his neck forward. “When is he coming? Is he coming today?”
His tone was a little frantic, and it attracted a curious gaze from the waiter. “Sorry, the club has rules that say we are not allowed to reveal any of our customers’ information.”
Sam stood up and placed his arms over the waiter’s shoulders. “Bro, listen to me…”
The waiter was dragged out of the private lounge by him.
After a few minutes, Sam came back, and before Serenity could ask, he said, “Private lounge 2022, eight o’clock.”
Although it was only a few simple words, the two people were well aware of what it meant.
Serenity glanced at the time and saw that it was not even eight o’clock yet. The waiting time for him was too long and the two people started to play games.
At 8:30 pm, Sam pretended to smoke outside as he took a look. He saw Julian surrounded by his group of boisterous friends as they entered the private lounge room 2022.
He swiftly returned to their private lounge. “He’s here.”
Serenity took out a small mirror from her bag and put on exquisite makeup along with a bright-colored lipstick and let down her hair. Her slightly-curled hair looked smooth and lustrous, accentuating her exquisite and cute eyes, which brought forth a hint of allure.
Sam knew her intention. “Are you planning to seduce him?”
Serenity checked her makeup in the mirror before putting her mirror away with a look of satisfaction.
“Nothing ventured, nothing gained.”
But she did not know if Julian still remembered her or not.
If he did not remember her, she’d still have to put in more effort.
Sam scratched his head. “Even if the magazine agency does not reimburse what we spent for finding the little missy, you don’t have to personally do this and sacrifice yourself.”
“Do you have a better idea?” She took out her perfume and sprayed some around herself. To make Julian spill the beans, she had come well-prepared.
Sam was allergic to perfume and continuously sneezed before he righteously said, “Julian has played with countless women. You don’t have to degrade yourself because of work. Let’s go ahead with our original plan. Let’s go to the nightclub and find some girls to get him drunk before making him spill the beans. If worse comes to worst, I will settle all the bills.”
Serenity patted his shoulder with one hand. “You have to trust that I can successfully get away.”
Sam thought about it for a moment. He was still worried and reluctant to give up just like this. “I will be outside. If anything happens, shout for me.”
As she stood outside the private lounge 2022, Serenity took a deep breath and turned to look at Sam, who was in a corner of the passageway.
Sam gave her an OK gesture.
She nodded at him and calmed her nerves before gripping the doorknob and entering. Inside, laughter filled the room.
With one look, she spotted Julian playing mahjong with three other men, and a woman sat at each of their sides.
As the private lounge door was suddenly opened, everyone turned their heads toward her. Some were shocked, some were curious, some were astonished.
She pretended to be frantic. “Sorry, I entered the wrong room.”
As she was preparing to close the door, she pretended to see Julian at that moment and said in a shocked tone, “Master Julian?”
Julian was looking at his tiles as he smoked. When he heard a woman calling out his name from the entrance, he raised his head and looked toward her.
He felt that the woman at the entrance was familiar. But even if he took a careful look at her, he still could not remember where he had seen her.
He had seen Serenity only once. Moreover, she had makeup today, and he could not recognize her at that moment.
Serenity reminded him. “Master Julian, I’m Serenity Rivers. We met at my grandfather’s birthday banquet..”
