MS Club?
Karl is familiar with the name. If Pehry’s Red Club is the most luxurious club in J City, then MS Club
would be the highest spending club in the city.
Rex asks Lily to go look for him in that place? Seriously?
Just when Karl is about to say something about it, Rex hangs up immediately.
Listening to the busy tone from his phone, Karl raises his head and sees Lily’s anticipated expression.
He feels defeated, “He hung up.”
“I knew it.” Lil isn’t surprised at all. If Rex is so easy-going, he wouldn’t have ghosted her. “He still
refuses to see me?”
Karl replies in an awkward tone, “He has a dinner party in MS Club tonight.”
Lily knows about the place. The club was already popular five years ago before she left J City. What
she didn’t expect is that the club is still making big money after five years.
Lily frowns when she thinks about the dark and noisy environment in the club but she pulls herself
together and hides her worries, “Thank you, Karl.”
Karl waves his hands, “Don’t mention it. I didn’t help out much.”
He couldn’t hold back anymore. He reminds Lily, “There are all kinds of people in those clubs. Maybe
you should wait for a day or two if you are not comfortable about going to those places. He would come
looking for you when he couldn’t take it anymore.”
Lily shakes her head, “If it is about me, I would wait. Now that Adair is with him, I couldn’t.”
All mothers are the same. They wouldn’t feel safe or settled until their child is with them. If she really
doesn’t care, she wouldn’t have come to Karl. Instead, she could have just asked Ryan to settle it for
her.
She couldn’t wait. She wants to see her child as soon as possible.
Karl offers to buy Lily dinner after talking to her. However, Lily isn’t in the mood at all, so Karl doesn’t
insist.
They walk out of the hotel lobby together. Karl’s car is parked right in front of the main entrance. Lily
waves goodbye to Karl, “You go home first, Karl. Drive safe.”
Karl takes a look at this slim and vulnerable woman in front of him. He opens his arm and gives her a
big hug, “Hope to see you soon.”
Lily answers, “We will meet again very soon.”
The atmosphere gets rather oppressive. This is not what Karl wants. He gets in the car, adjusts his
steering wheel and lowers his window, “I’m leaving now.”
Lily nods lightly, “Goodbye.”
As Karl drives his Land Rover away, his car is covered with sunshine and it gives the car a shiny
topcoat. The car is definitely an eye-catching monster. Lily doesn’t move her sight from Karl’s car until
he disappears from her view.
MS Club. The name of the club keeps recurring in her mind.
…
Nine o’clock at night, in front of MS Club. Lily doesn’t know what time Rex would come, so she waits for
him at the sidewalk from the time the club starts operating.
She sits in her car and the window at the driver seat is lowered. Lily looks at the guests and passers-by
at the main entrance and the staffs of the club in their black suit. Suddenly, she understands why some
men like to smoke in their car.
People tend to panic when they are nervously waiting for something, and such panic couldn’t be
controlled by adjusting one’s emotions. Therefore, the best way to relax is to smoke.
Too bad, Lily doesn’t have the habit of smoking. She couldn’t find any cigarette even after she searches
her car inside out.
She waited for about one and a half-hour. Finally, she sees that familiar face when the clock strikes at
10.30 pm.
Two limos stop in front of the club. The manager of the club walks forward and open the car door for
whoever is in the car. He acts in a totally different attitude as compared to before.
Next, a tall and lean figure comes out from the car. He is wearing a black shirt without a suit. The first
two buttons on his shirt are open and his collarbone shows. His hair isn’t as neat as he usually is. His
fringe and himself seems inadequately groomed.
There are a few men walking beside Rex. All of them are with their partner. The pretty face Lily spotted
standing beside Rex is a familiar face as well.
She squints her eyes to have a better look at the woman. It’s Vivian, for sure.
Rex and Vivian are standing side by side and Vivian is holding Rex’s arm. Although Rex didn't
approach her at first, he didn’t reject Vivian when she approaches him.
Vivian speaks in Rex’s ear from time to time and smiles blossom on her cheeks. They look like a
perfect match from afar.
Lily immediately feels the irony in the scene she sees. What a player. Rex toys with her and Vivian the
same time. She wonders if he told Vivian what happened between both of them the other day in the
room.
Lily stares at Rex’s direction. Suddenly Rex turns around and looks back at her, it’s like he could feel
her staring at him. She is stunned for a second. The next second, Rex looks away.
“The car window is covered with dark films. Rex won’t see me, right?” Lily thinks.
Her clenched fists are covered in sweats. She takes a deep breath and walks out of her car when they
are about to go into the club.
She is wearing a tight-fitting dress tonight and the weather is a little bit chilly for her.
Lily walks gracefully towards the entrance of the club and stops in front of Rex. She pretends to run into
him unintentionally, “What a coincidence, Mr Rex.”
She may look beautiful and graceful from the outside but only she knows how nervous she is.
Rex stops and people around him turn and look at the woman who stopped him. They were all
impatient at first but when they see her attractive body figure and her pretty face, they become quiet.
Men tend to pay more patience to pretty women.
Lily ignores everyone. She stares straight at Rex, who is way taller than her and asks, “Did Mr Rex
come here to have fun?”
Her dress tonight is very fitting and short, it is like the dress is wrapped around her. However, Lily’s legs
are long and her waist is slim. She let her hair down and it gives her a slinky seductive overall look.
Rex frowns without anyone noticing and quickly restore his calmness. He is surprised by the way she
dressed tonight but he feels grumpy, for her being watched by all those eyes around her.
He gives no reactions to Lily. Rex then speaks in a cold tone, “Who are you?”
Lily is pissed. Are you trying to put on an act? I will put on an act with you! “Mr Rex, don’t you
remember me? I’m Lily.”
“No, I don’t recall any Lily,” Rex replies. He then walks past her and heads straight into the club.
Lily knows he did that on purpose. She feels embarrassed but she follows him into the club anyway.
Her heels make a click-clack sound on the surface of the floor as she walks and it annoys Vivian very
much.
They walk past the crowded dance floor and the public booths on the first floor. Rex heads straight to
the VIP lounge on the second floor. Lily is stopped by the security guards at the staircase. “I’m sorry
Ma’am, you are prohibited to enter the area.”
“…” Of all people, she is the only one who got stopped. It is obvious who ordered the security guards to
do this.
Lily could only see Rex and his gang walks into the VIP lounge from where she is standing. Once the
door of the lounge is closed, she couldn’t see anything anymore.
He asked her to come to MS Club but he pretended that he doesn’t know her? What is he trying to do?
Lily stands at the stairs and doesn’t know what to do. Suddenly, she sees a red couch beside the stairs.
She has got an idea! Lily walks past the security guards and sits on the red couch.
He won’t let her go into the lounge, then she’ll sit here and wait for him.
The security guards let her be. Probably because of her pretty face and she didn’t give them a hard
time just now.
Lily sits and waits on the couch for a pretty long time. The music is too loud that it almost makes her
deaf. Every time the door of the lounge opens, she feels nervous but it isn’t him who opened the door.
Just wait. He is going to come out anyway. It’s just a matter of time.
Lily makes up her mind. As long as she could see Adair and settle the letter from the lawyer, everything
else doesn’t matter.
