Chapter 314 Arrange A Meeting
Oscar went downstairs and got into his car. With both hands on the steering wheel, he looked outside the window. Then, he slapped the steering wheel in a fury and let out a growl.
After venting his anger, he wanted to start the car, but his phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was a call from Hugo.
Upon answering the call, he said, “Hugo, is there any news about Amelia?”
Hugo replied, “Not yet, Boss. However, I did find out that Tiffany is currently in a relationship with the CEO of the publishing company she works in. According to the information, they have gotten together before Tiffany and Ms. Amelia left for Saspiuburg. I’m uncertain whether the news is true for now, but the employees of the publishing company have witnessed that their employer has been courting Tiffany.”
Oscar’s eyes instantly darkened. He clenched his phone tighter as he said in a deep voice, “Arrange a meeting with the CEO for me.”
“Yes, Boss,” Hugo answered.
“Give me a call after he agreed to meet me. I’ll hang up now.” Upon finishing speaking, Oscar ended the call.
Hugo promptly did as he was told. Five minutes later, he phoned Oscar again. After he said something, Oscar replied with a sullen look, “I got it. I’ll meet him next month then. I’ll wait for him since he’s not in the city now.”
Upon hanging up the phone, Oscar clutched his chest tightly. He noticed that his heart was racing because of the phone call. Knowing that he could get an answer from Derrick, Oscar could not contain his excitement. He did not mind taking extreme measures in order to find Amelia.
Since Derrick only owned a small publishing company, Oscar had his ways to intimidate him.
He glanced at the rearview mirror and found himself looking disheveled. Looking at his unshaved beard, gaunt face, and the dark circles under his eyes, he realized that he had lost the charm he had as a man.
He furrowed his brows as he fell into deep thoughts. A moment later, he made up his mind and drove toward the most popular hair salon in the city.
Arriving at the salon, two hairstylists immediately came to greet him. One of them smiled and asked, “Mr. Clinton, to what do we owe this honor of your presence? Did you come to see our boss or are you here for a haircut?”
“I came for a haircut, Mike. And I’ll be requesting you for it. I want a haircut that’ll make me look young and lively, yet mature at the same time. You get what I mean?” Oscar said to Mike, the hairstylist who spoke to him.
Mike gave Oscar an ‘OK’ sign before he invited the latter to take a seat politely. Then, he proceeded to cut Oscar’s hair.
Less than ten minutes later, Oscar was more than happy with what he saw in the mirror. Mike was extremely skillful. The seemingly random haircut had actually proved that he was an outstanding hairstylist. Because of this, Oscar would always let Mike style his hair.
“Mr. Clinton, take a look. Do you like it?” Mike asked.
Looking at his matured, but young-looking self in the mirror, Oscar nodded calmly. “I trust your skill. I’d like it if you could give me a shave, too.”
While Mike was focused on shaving Oscar’s beard, he could not help but ask jokingly, “Mr. Clinton, what’s with the sudden interest in keeping up your appearance? Did Amelia ask for it?”
Since there was no news about Oscar’s divorce, many people did not know that he had already divorced Amelia. Therefore, everyone thought that the couple was still together.
Undeniably, Oscar enjoyed living in that misunderstanding.
He glanced at Mike, hinting the latter to stop being nosy.
“Mr. Clinton, it’s done. Is it all right?” Mike was fiddling with the shaver as he questioned.
After taking a look, Oscar nodded and said, “I’ll get someone to transfer the money to your account. I’ll get going now. Tell Gary that I’ll have a drink with him some other day.”
Mike replied, “Mr. Clinton, why don’t you stay for a while? Boss was talking about you yesterday. If you leave now, he’ll probably look for you at your company soon.”
Oscar left without looking back. From afar, he said, “I have something to do later. I’ll give him a call when I’m free.”
“All right. Have a good day then, Mr. Clinton,” Mike replied.
With that, Oscar walked out of the hair salon.
Now that he was done getting a haircut, he went to a boutique next to get a new set of suits. He wanted to intimidate Derrick with his appearance during their meeting.
In reality, men would usually focus on these details as they competed with each other, probably because they were all petty creatures.
Oscar thought that if he could successfully intimidate Derrick, it would be easier for him to get some information about Amelia.
