City of Night Romance was the most luxurious and erotic club in town. It was even patronized by some of the famous dignitaries and billionaires. Handsome boys and beauties found themselves presented with many opportunities to stray. Not to mention the waitresses, who would provide any services one wanted.
Pounding music, dancing crowd, and loud yells seemed to attract most people here. But the noble and handsome guest standing in the corner, did not seem to enjoy any of these.
Duke frowned upon the woman who approached him and gently pushed her away. He loathed noisy places like this and disliked the women here for the thirsty look on their faces.
Edward swirled the glass around a little, leisurely crossing his legs. He glanced at the women dancing on stage in revealing dresses with an evil smile on his face. A lot of women were giving him "the looks" and trying to catch his attention.
Rain was observing him closely. He speechlessly rolled his eyes, wondering what was exciting him so much and causing this abnormal behavior since early morning.
"Why didn't Justin come with you today?" inquired Duke. He was surprised that Edward had come to the club late in the night. After all, Justin was clingy and always wanted to keep an eye on him.
"Well! I don't need to tell Justin where I go every time, okay?" Edward casually smiled and sipped the wine. He was immensely enjoying the soft touches from the girls sitting beside him. He had promised Daisy that he would stay away from women. But he had conveniently forgotten the promise in the wake of the gratifying attention he was receiving.
"Edward, don't pretend to be cool! I heard that you couldn't even pitch a tent earlier because of her existence." The bright smile on Rain's face made the girl sitting on the other side move closer to him.
Edward did not get angry and just squinted at him. As time passed by, Edward suddenly became impatient and lost all interest in the women around him. He stopped the hands that kept reaching down and at the same time adjusted his sitting posture to maintain some distance from the girl.
"I can't pitch a tent? You can only comment on this after you have tried. Do you want to be at the bottom of the tent?" Edward retorted without realizing the effect his words would have.
"You are creepier than ever," Rain gave an expression of disgust to make his disdain known.
Duke could not stand their low taste. The smell of the perfume was also overpowering. He waved his hands to let the girls know that they could leave.
"Edward..." implored one of the girls. She held his hands tightly to encourage him to ask her to stay longer.
"It's time for you to leave!" said Edward gently withdrawing his hands.
"Abstinence is not your style! I understand why Duke would want to stay away. But Edward? What happened to you?" Rain could not handle Edward's sudden transition from a playboy to a good boy.
"No reason. I just want to leave, for a change." Edward drained the glass before heading towards the restroom.
