Ethen and Jack went to their usual haunt. They had invited their friends too, including Kingsley and
Shaun.
At the hospital, Shaun had finished his ward round and dropped by Arissa's room. There, he told
Benjamin, “Ethen and the gang are getting drinks right now. Would you like to go?”
“No,” Benjamin replied. He wanted to stay with Arissa. “You can go without me.”
Shaun gave him a knowing smile. “Arissa's fine for now. Are you sure you don't want to go?”
“Yes, I'm sure!” Benjamin gave Shaun a sharp look, then closed the door and headed into the bathroom
to take a shower.
Shaun quirked his brows and turned to address the bodyguards stationed by the door, “I'll grab you
guys supper on the way back.”
These bodyguards had to stay here and protect Benjamin and Arissa at all times, so they couldn't
attend the gathering.
They said gratefully in unison, “Thanks, Mr. Bailey!”
After that, Shaun put on a change of clothes and headed to the club. When he reached the door of the
lounge, he heard Jack ask Kingsley, “Mr. Watts, how come you didn't bring the kids over?”
“Are you stupid? Look around you! Benjamin would kill me if he found out I brought the kids to a place
like this,” Kingsley said, smacking Jack in the head. He wondered where Jack's common sense had
gone. Why would anyone in their right mind bring children to a club?
Jack rubbed the back of his head dejectedly and grumbled, “Use your words, man. You don't have to
go around hitting people to make a point!”
Ethen looked at them in amusement. When he noticed Shaun's arrival, he quickly beckoned him over
for a drink.
“Jack, long time no see! Looks like you've gotten tanner,” Shaun greeted cheerily as he appraised
Jack. Under the lowlights, the man's skin had an olive hue to it.
Jack laughed, his muscles coiling under smooth, tanned skin. “The assessment is coming up, so I've
been kicking the training into high gear.”
Shaun and Kingsley exchanged a brief glance. They would have forgotten all about the assessment
and training had Jack not brought it up. “Thanks for holding down the fort, Jack!” they said.
They only went back to the base every once in a blue moon, so it fell to Jack to take charge of matters
there.
“Just doing my job,” Jack replied insouciantly as he took a big gulp of beer.
It was rare that they got together like this. For the most part of the night, their glasses were full and they
drank to their hearts' content.
Presently, Miranda showed up at the club with her friends. She was walking past the lounge when she
heard the raucous laughter coming from inside. Seeing that the door was left ajar, she peeked into the
lounge and suddenly caught a glimpse of Kingsley's familiar profile. Her eyes lit up at once.
If Kingsley's here, then Benjamin must be here too.
She quickly told her friends, “Hey, my tummy isn't feeling too well. I think I need to use the restroom.
You girls go ahead without me!”
“Okay, but make it quick!” one of her friends replied. Whenever nature called, the girls were always too
embarrassed to use the adjoining restroom in the lounge. As such, they did not think much of Miranda's
situation and merely headed into their lounge.
Miranda waited until they were out of sight before she pulled out a mirror and fixed her hair and
makeup. When she was satisfied with her appearance, she pushed open the door to Kingsley's lounge
and went in.
“Why, if it isn't Kingsley! What a coincidence!” she greeted Kingsley as though they were the oldest of
friends, then swept her gaze across the room.
Men! All of them are men!
More importantly, all of these men boasted perfect physiques. Even though none of them were as
handsome as Benjamin, they were still considerably good-looking.
Oh, and Mr. Bailey's here too!
Miranda's heart skipped a beat when she noticed Shaun among the men. From the looks of it, the heirs
of Dellmoor's most prestigious families were gathered in this lounge tonight.
Miranda wasted no time in greeting Shaun, “Mr. Bailey, I'm Miranda York!” She even flipped her hair
over her shoulder and presented what she thought was her best-looking side to Shaun.
Shaun was bewildered. He looked at Kingsley, only to see the latter frowning with unbridled contempt
in his eyes.
Seeing that Miranda and Kingsley appeared to know each other, Shaun asked her bluntly, “Who are
you?”
Miranda bristled slightly at his question, but she maintained her smile as she said, “It's me, Miranda! I'm
so glad to run into you here, Mr. Bailey. So, is this a friendly gathering?”
She surveyed the lounge once more and was a little disappointed when she did not see Benjamin.
Her real target tonight was Benjamin. As far as she was concerned, he was the only man who was
worthy of her.
Meanwhile, Shaun's smile was polite but distant. He leaned close to Kingsley as he asked, “Do you
know her?”
