Chapter 125
Skye Hotel’s first floor had a combined disco and bar. Accompanied by electronic dance music, there were always people on the dance floor, dancing mindlessly.
Few of the guests were drinking by the bar, and some of them were flirting with the ladies. If they were a match, they would be seen leaving the bar to get a room upstairs.
It was an adult’s world in a free county. Only one person in the bar behaved differently from the mass of bodies. .
Jace was drinking glass after glass of whiskey, alone. He reeked of alcohol, despite not appearing to be drunk.
The bartender checked on him from time to time, and he soon realized that Jace had almost finished the entire bottle of whisky.
Many people came to this bar to get drunk, but most of them came with company. Jace was the only lonely one.
This bartender thought that Jace was the most perfect man he had ever seen. He held his whiskey well, and the manner in which h e drank his whiskey looked almost elegant. It was as though he was some prince or an aristocrat.
Such a fine man sitting all by himself attracted quite a number of girls.
The bartender mentally did the math. Half an hour from the time Jace had ordered his first drink, six girls had approached him. It averaged to a girl every five minutes. Of course, none of them had interested him.
Jace did not even bat an eyelid when it came to the women. Nothing they did or said elicited the slightest response. All he said was, “Leave.”
The bartender shook his head and theorized that Jace must either be gay or some woman had deeply hurt him.
Drinking was a common way to socialize, and Jace had to do a lot of it for his job. Unless he was depressed or he needed an outlet t o release some feelings, Jace would have never drunk this much..
Tonight was one of those nights. Jace needed to get drunk. He felt he would not get through the night if he did not drink.
If he did not get drunk, he might even head over to Rosa Garden and say, “Who is that man?”
