Ecstacy of the Heart novel Chapter 24

She was very grateful towards Alexander for showing himself in her father’s birthday dinner. Now that he was pretty drunk, she was worried that something undesirable might happen to him if he went to a gathering alone…

Alexander froze for a moment as he looked at her with doubt in his eyes, “You want to come with me?”

Allison slowly loosened her grip on his shirt while nodding, “Yes, I want to accompany you there.”

She couldn’t tell him that she was worried about him.

When Alexander saw the determined look in her eyes, he raised his eyebrows and asked, “Do you know what kind of place I will be going later?”

In his eyes, she was as pure as a sheet of paper. The place that he was going was a messy and dark place.

Allison bit her lips and insisted, “I want to go with you no matter where we will be going.”

After staring at her for a few seconds, Alexander finally let up, “Alright, then let’s go together.”

Letting her gain some exposure to the dark side of the city wouldn’t be half bad either.

After getting his affirmation, Allison couldn’t help feeling joyful.

However, half an hour later, when the car arrived at their destination and she glimpsed the flicking lights and realized that she was going to enter a luxurious club, all the joy in her heart slowly withered away.

The moment she graduated from university, she had worked as a clerk in a company. She never saw with her own eyes the types of underground dealings and trades that enabled businesses to flourish. Naturally, she wouldn’t have been to this type of place beforehand.

She gnashed her teeth as she could only step out of the car and followed Alexander to the entrance.

At the entrance, a waiter came up to welcome them. He greeted politely, “Mr. Parker, come with me.”

It sounded like Alexander was a regular here.

They followed the waiter to an elevator and after exiting the elevator, they strode along a long corridor and the door to an expensive-looking suite came into view. Just as they were about to enter, Alexander slowed down and tilted his head towards Allison, “If you even have any sense of regret, you can tell me anytime. I’ll ask Bernard to lead you out of here.”

Allison nodded, “I got it.”

The waiter pushed the door open and music immediately filled their ears. Allison followed Alexander into a spacious space. There were people already in the suite, some of them singing and some of them drinking. A few were seen playing pool on the side.

The moment Alexander appeared, he became the centre of attraction.

“President Parker! Long time no see!”

“President Parker is here!”

Allison followed Alexander from behind and they sat down on a sofa in the middle. She was slightly intimidated by the strangers surrounding her.

Suddenly, a warm feeling touched the back of her hand, and she saw Alexander holding her hand and leading her to the side of the sofa.

“Hey, Alexander, why did you bring a pure-looking girl with you today? Are you getting a change of scenery? Your taste is so bland today!”

A man wearing flowery clothes chuckled while greeting him. He was wrapping his arms around a woman wearing revealing clothes, but his eyes were examining Allison non-stop.

Alexander looked upwards and said coldly, “Cameron, can’t you shut up when you have such good wine to enjoy today?”

The man called Cameron snickered in response, “Alexander, I was just joking, don’t take it to heart! Are you here to see Franklin? He is inside that inner suite there. He has instructed me to pass on the word. You can just go in directly.”

Alexander nodded imperceptibly, “Alright.”

After that, he turned around and said softly to Allison, “I have something important to talk to someone inside. Wait me here. We will go once I’m done.”
