Chapter 24: Fool Me
That night, Alexander arrived at the Gentleman’s Club fifteen minutes early, wholly planning on meeting Rain. At the same time, he had also booked Twilight, the club’s star performer, for an exclusive performance in the private lounge. He had even paid extra to ensure the woman wouldn’t be performing for the crowd that night, reserving her solely for his private entertainment.
After all, he had his suspicions to confirm. As such, when Rain didn’t show up as expected, he couldn’t help but smirk. It would seem that his suspicions were truly warranted.
Soon, the club manager approached him with a warm smile. "Sir, Twilight is ready and waiting for you in the lounge. Let me escort you."
Standing up, Alexander turned to his assistant, Tyron. "Stay here and wait if ever Rain Clayton shows up late."
His assistant nodded, and Alexander then followed behind the manager. Like last time, the behavior being shown to him got irritating, especially as the manager kept fluttering her lashes at him and openly ogling him from head to toe while they were inside the elevator.
"Looks like my new girl has caught your eye, Mr. Lancaster," she said, her tone suggestive as she bit her lower lip. "Paying a fortune just so she won’t perform for the crowd is telling. Twilight is so lucky."
Alexander frowned, clearly displeased. The manager didn’t seem to notice, however. Or perhaps she just didn’t care.
"A man of few words... Just my type," she hoarsely muttered, making the situation even more uncomfortable for him.
Despite his situation, he maintained his composure, though his expression visibly darkened with every second that passed. Thankfully, before things got unbearable, the elevator doors opened, offering him an escape from the manager’s unsettling advances.
