Heart Hunting novel Chapter 8

At night, the gorgeous neon lights the city. Various people fill the empty heart with the wonderful night life.

In Quinn residence-

The stage in the hall on the first floor is performing singing and dancing. The audience cheers one after another without stopping.

The semi open private room on the second floor is undoubtedly a resort for quiet in the noise. It is separated by a carved wooden door. People in the room can still watch the performance.

“Kenny, don't be cold faced when you come out to have fun. It's just 70 million, just take it as charity.” Noel looks at his friend's expressionless face. Kenny only perfunctorily talks about their chat topics, which is not quite like the normal arrogant Kenny.

Ives smiles, “Noel, you don't know. It's not about money, but prestige.”

Kenny takes a look at Ives with approving. He picks up the wine glass and drinks all.

“Kenny, you're really here.” When Kenny puts down the glass, he hears a familiar voice. Ethel comes in, her elaborate dress is obviously prepared.

Kenny doesn't pay attention to her. Probably she comes here on purpose to catch adultery in the act, he guesses.

In the past five years, he has known Ethel thoroughly. The reason why he indulges her misleading their relationship to others, is just to use her to prevent some unnecessary trouble, also just to off the blind dates arranged by his mother.

Coincidentally, two tall ladies also come over. They ignore Ethel in the center, and say to Noel, "Mr. Gilbert, is it convenient for us to stay for a drink tonight?”

Noel looks at Kenny in awkward. He coughs and asks, "Kenny, what do you think?”

Ethel looks at the two women in front of her. She is angry at the bottom of her heart, but she pretends to not care about it. She raises a gentle smile.

With her knowledge of Kenny's temperament, he would never share a table with a strange woman.

Kenny drinks the wine. He feels Ethel's eyes, and deliberately replies, "whatever!”

Ethel frowns. And the two ladies give each other a meaningful look. They deliberately go to the position near Kenny to sit down.

Kenny has no objection to this, which makes Ethel burn a fire in the bottom of her heart, and her elegant smile becomes a little stiff. The two ladies pour a glass of wine, and look at Ethel with a light of victory in their eyes.

Ethel doesn't give in and stares back sharply.

It seems the battle between the women is exploded, but the two ladies ignore her reaction, and start to talk with them.

Ethel holds back her anger, and turns her eyes to Kenny. But he doesn't even looks at her. He still drinks wine indifferently and regards her as an outsider.

...

"Oh my god, how could Ethel be so shameless. Kenny didn't even talk to her. And she still refuses to leave. So cheeky. What fiancee? I think it's all her own wishful thinking!"

After three rounds of drinking, the two ladies go to the restroom to refine the make-up. They think there is no one in the restroom. So they talk to each other loudly. However, their words are overheard by Poppy in the last compartment.

She came out from home to familiarize herself with the domestic environment. She didn't expect to hear anything interesting tonight.
