As Aveline came out of the restroom and passed by the elevator, Aaron happened to see her emerging from it.

He was on the phone and, upon noticing her, raised his eyebrows slightly before saying, "Guess who I just saw at Club Nine?"

On the other end of the line was Lucas, his voice cold. "Your dad?"

"Fuck!" Aaron cursed, then said, "Not my dad! Your precious little sweetheart!"

Lucas' tone grew even colder. "Are you sure you didn't see wrong?"

Aaron scoffed. "I'm not blind. She walked right past me. She looks like she's had quite a bit to drink. Tsk, she sure knows how to entertain herself at night."

Lucas hung up immediately.

Aaron looked at his phone. "What's his problem?"

Despite his irritation, he was curious about who Aveline was drinking with, so he headed towards the room where she had disappeared.

At the door, the music inside wasn't too loud, and through the frosted window, he could see that there weren't many people inside.

Aaron slightly pushed the door open and peeked in.

He saw Aveline sitting next to a guy, clinking glasses and drinking.

Tsk, tsk!

It seemed her nights out were always full of excitement!

He took out his phone and snapped a photo of them, sending it to Lucas without hesitation.

Just as he was about to leave, he looked up and saw Selena with her arm around the guy's shoulder, her face flushed from drinking, looking at the guy with squinted, adoring eyes. A surge of irritation rose within Aaron.

He walked right in.

"Is it just you guys? Isn't it a bit dull?"

T

Hands in his pockets, he strolled in casually, with a mocking smile on his face.

Aveline and Selena looked over at him.

Selena immediately said, "Whether we're having fun or not is none of your business.

Get out."

Aaron raised an eyebrow. "Why such a big temper? Can't I just join in for some fun?" Selena replied, "No, it's after work hours. I don't want to see you even for a second."

Aaron, however, had no intention of leaving. He sat down on the sofa, his gaze falling on Sidney with a hint of coldness. "And who is this?"

Selena snapped, "What does that have to do with you?"

Aveline squinted her eyes. "Mr. Fletcher, do you have any business here?"

Aaron said, "I told you, I'm just here for some fen."

Aveline responded, "As you can see, your presence is killing the fun."Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Aaron was speechless.

Lucas had a sharp tongue, but he hadn't expected Aveline to be just as sharp. They really were a pair.

Selena said, "Did you hear that? You're not welcome here. Please leave, and don't let the door hit you on the way out!"

Aaron narrowed his eyes. Being repeatedly asked to leave was a first for him. From a young age, he had always been treated with utmost respect. When had he ever been subjected to such treatment? "Selena, I have some ideas about the villa's design."

Selena shook her head. "Let's discuss it at work tomorrow."

Aaron insisted, "If we wait until you go back to work, I'll forget."

Selena retorted, "That works just fine."

Aaron's eyes narrowed. "If I forget something important, it puts me in a bad mood. If there's no progress on the villa, my mood will get worse. In that case, the designer will be the one to suffer." Selena was speechless.
