If not for a classy yet pretty lady standing by his side, he would have been surrounded by a lot of young women by now.
What made him come over to Q City?
The lady beside him with a slim waist was wearing a long dress. She looked charming but not bewitching. It was a match made in heaven as she held his hands within a group of people while attracting the crowd’s attention.
It seemed that he bought her here to hang out. I held Macy’s hand instinctively while turning my back on them and said, “Let’s go back first!”
Macy had lost the mood for shopping so she nodded her head. “Alright. Let’s leave!”
Initially, I thought that he had not seen us. Unexpectedly, a muscular man wearing a black suit suddenly blocked us after Macy and I walked for few steps.
That man was wearing shades. Thus, his expression couldn’t be seen. “Mr. Stovall would like to see both of you!” The man who blocked us said.
“Letty!” Macy looked slightly nervous while holding my hand tightly.
While patting her hand gently, I assured her, “It’ll be fine!” Then, I looked at the black suit man and uttered, “Sorry, it’s late now. Please go and tell Mr. Stovall that we’ll pay him a visit in the next time.”
While holding Macy and preparing to leave, we were being stopped. “Ms. Stovall, Mr. Stovall mentioned that if you don’t obey him, he will personally drop by tonight to visit both of you.”
“Go and tell John to stop being pushy. Otherwise, he will have a tough time if he makes life difficult for us.” Macy raised her voice suddenly while still grabbing my hand as her emotions ran high.
That man still remained cool and gestured, “Will both of you, please? Otherwise, I don’t mind carrying the two of you there.”
“You…” Macy was annoyed as her face became red with anger.
I restrained her and looked at the man in a black suit. “Lead the way!”
I know that John was very stubborn all this while. Hence, there was no point to put up a fight.
The man in a black suit led us out of the shopping mall and crossed the street without taking a ride. We then walked into a cafe.
Upon arriving on the second floor, we walked to a room’s entrance. Then, the man who accompanied us said, “Please, Mr. Stovall is inside.”
Macy and I looked at each other and proceeded to enter the private room. The cafe’s private room was different from the restaurant’s private room as it looked more elegant yet artistic. The people’s conversation within the private room can be heard clearly through the window screen.
“John, it has been a long time since you last visited me in Q City. I thought that you have forgotten all about me,” a woman voiced in a whimsical manner but it didn’t sound awful.
Macy and I walked inside and lifted the window screen. Then, we saw an octagonal sandalwood table where John sat facing a lady.
That lady wore a green-colored gown which showed her exquisitely slender yet curvy figure. She was making tea in an elegant manner. Furthermore, her moves were natural yet smooth.
