Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2762
I Am Looking For Someone
“What did you just say? Room 7? Did you say that Lucinda Xenos is in Room 7?” Dustin swiftly echoed, his expression taut with anxiety.
“No, not Room 7! It’s Room 4!” Joan hastily corrected him.
“Room 4? Okay, I got it!” After saying that, Dustin hung up the phone and marched toward Room 4.
In Room 4, several men and women were talking boisterously. A hedonistic atmosphere hung in the air.
“Here, have some wine, sir!”
“Try this bottle of wine, sir! This is a new wine here!”
“Here, I’ll toast you, Lucinda!” A bald man abruptly stood up. Picking up two glasses of wine, he handed one of them to Lucinda across from him.
Having a high alcohol tolerance, Lucinda had always been able to hold her liquor. Thus, she was still very much sober despite having drunk three bottles of wine by then.
“I’ve already drunk a lot, Mr. Lowell,” Lucinda declined. In truth, she knew that she wouldn’t be able to turn it down, so she was merely putting on an act.
“Hey, how could you say that, Ms. Xenos? Did you drink more than me? No, right? Here, drink it!” The bald man thrust the wine glass at her lips.
When the few hostesses at the side saw that, they instinctively shuddered, their expressions fearful.
“Okay, since you’ve said as much, Mr. Lowell, I’ll take up the challenge!” After saying that, Lucinda guzzled the wine.
Bang! The door to the private room was suddenly kicked open.
“Who did that?” The bald man’s expression was exceedingly aggrieved as he shielded his eyes from the glaring light that shone in with a hand.
“Me!” Dustin declared coldly.
Who is he? Surprised, Lucinda stared at the man at the door suspiciously.
“Who are you? And why did you barge in?” The bald man slowly got up and strutted over to Dustin with a murderous look in his eyes.
