Meeting The One For Me

“Joseph’s mouth is like a leaky sieve. Tell him something, and it’s guaranteed to leak out within an hour!” Azure complained.

“I heard that the collaboration between the Franklin Group and Evergreen Blotech ran into trouble. Speaking of which, it’s karma for Audrey’s sc*mbag ex–husband! Still, Joseph’s family wants to help him.” Daphine fumed. She took a bite of snacks while glaring at Joseph.

Joseph hurriedly explained himself. “This has nothing to do with me! It’s not me who wants to help him! Besides, even if I wanted to help I wouldn’t be able to!

Audrey smiled and sipped her drink without saying a word. It turned out Nathan sought help from the Gough family overseas! No wonder he had the confidence to negotiate with Taylor for compensation.

“Never mind. Never mind. Let’s forget about it. Joseph said he’s treating us to a night at the Night Palace. Let’s take advantage of it and squeeze him for all he’s worth!” Azure suggested.

“I’ve heard about the Night Palace in Mythravia. They say just the membership fees there are over 200,000 dollars a year, and the average spending per person inside starts at 20,000 dollars! Their servers are either ripped guys with eight–pack abs or hot women! We’ll gain insights! You’d better keep your mouth shut. Otherwise, I’ll tell my husband that you’re the one who insisted on dragging me to see male models!” Daphne grinned mischievously, then quickly turned to look at Joseph.

Joseph made a motion of zipping his mouth. “Don’t worry! I’ll keep it a secret this time!

Just after finishing dinner, Audrey was escorted out of the hot pot restaurant by Daphne and Azure on either side of her. Peter put down his burger and hurried over from the car.

Audrey said to Peter, “You can go back now! I’m going out with friends. We’ll go back together later! I’m not alone. You go back and rest early!”

Earlier, Audrey and Azure had already made a plan. After all, Ryan wasn’t coming over these days anyway.

“But Julian said…”

Audrey smiled at Peter, who seemed young. “Julian listens to me too! It’s inconvenient for you to follow us. Why don’t you take a cab back. I’ll reimburse you for the fare tomorrow.

Peter nodded at the suggestion. He picked up his clothes and burger, then handed the car keys to Audrey.

“Alright, Ms. Yeomans, see you tomorrow!” Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“See you tomorrow!” Audrey nodded as she took the car keys.

Azure watched Peter walk away and nudged Audrey with her elbow. “Your bodyguard looks pretty good! Who’s the julian guy he mentioned?”

“Why do you have so many questions! Let’s hurry up and go to the Night Palace! I can’t wait to see those guys with eight–pack abs!” Daphne said eagerly while looking at Joseph with a red face.

Joseph, fearing Audrey’s suspicion, didn’t dare to mention that his membership card was a gift from Nathan. He said, “Let’s go! We’re off!”

As Daphne anticipated, the servers at the Night Palace were all tall men over six feet with impressive physiques, while the women were all stunning.

Daphne dragged Audrey out of the private room and joined the others at the railing on the second floor, where they leaned over to watch the bustling dance floor below.

Daphne saw the male and female bartenders delivering drinks and glanced at the handsome men and beautiful women dancing on stage. She excitedly nudged Audrey’s shoulder with her fist. “Wow! There are so many guys with abs here! Why are they all so handsome!”

Audrey covered her arm and couldn’t help but tease Daphne. “Does Justin knows about this?” “He doesn’t have an eight–pack! Look! Look! How can there be such high–quality men here? “Daphne confidently pointed out a bartender in the distance.

Audrey followed Daphne’s gesture but her gaze went past the bar to Ryan, who entered through a side door surrounded by a group of strangers.

Audrey could barely see Daphne’s face in the dimly lit and dazzling environment of the Night Palace. Still, she managed to spot her.
