Sienna nodded, instantly feeling motivated, but she didn't forget to give Rex a call.
Sienna was brimming with excitement, and as Camille drove, she cast a glance at her. "You seem pretty excited?"
"It's nothing, really. Just average excitement, nothing too special," Sienna laughed, covering her face. Camille didn't bother engaging with her drama.
Half an hour later...
In the bustling heart of Hance City's Sleepless Town, Camille and Sienna parked their car and got out, hand in hand, walking through the gates. A handsome young man, dressed in a suit, approached them with a smile. "Welcome, ladies. Would you prefer a quiet spot or a lively one?"
"We'll take a private room," Sienna replied in a hushed tone.
They were led to a private room, barely seated before several more young men entered.
Sienna was really sociable; these guys were all university students working part-time here and selling wine.
Being kind, Sienna and Camille ordered quite a bit, though they couldn't possibly consume it all. They decided to share their drinks with those guys.
As the conversation flowed naturally and without any disturbances, the door to their private room suddenly swung open.
Conversation halted, and all eyes turned to the doorway.
Two men in suits walked in, their expressions dark and intense. Their deep gazes fixed on the two women seated on the couch, surrounded by the young men.
The manager of Sleepless Town followed, gesturing as he shooed the young men away. Then, with a forced smile, he turned to the two newcomers. "Mr. Simpson, Mr. Baxter, we weren't aware your wives were coming, so..."
"Leave," Rex said coolly.
The manager nodded frantically and wiped his brow before quickly leaving the room.
He even made sure to close the door properly. If anyone found out about this, it could become tomorrow's headline: "Wives of Simpson Group and Ward Group CEOs Sneak Out for Drinks and Chat with Young Men?"
His job might not last long if this got out.
He went on to instruct the young men not to talk about this and even handed them some hush money. As university students, they wouldn't dare to blab.
The atmosphere in the private room shifted from lively to almost silent, the sound of a pin dropping audible.
The two men sat down on the couch, one on either side, keeping a considerable distance from the women in the middle.
Camille exchanged a glance with Sienna, eyes flickering as if saying, "What do we do now?"
Camille remained remarkably composed, showing no significant reaction. They hadn't done anything wrong, just came here for a chat and drinks. Aren't they often doing the same?
However, compared to Camille's composure, Sienna seemed much more flustered. Sienna was a classic example of being both inexperienced but playful. She gave a faint smile and glanced at Rex, saying softly, "Why did you guys come?"
Rex let out a light snort and replied indifferently, "You two keep drinking, don't be polite. Feeling too quiet to drink? Should I go call these men back for you?"
Given the tone, who would believe he wasn't annoyed?
Sienna fell silent instantly, holding her glass and obediently moving closer to Camille. She murmured to Camille, "He's so fierce!"
Camille didn't react much, giving her a subtle glance. Her eyes seemed to convey a message: promising wholeheartedly to join in the fun, getting caught and then being scared out of her wits.
Sienna pressed her lips together, wanting to explain, but the direct gaze from Rex left her unable to catch a breath. She could only offer a faint smile towards Rex and softly suggest, "It's a bit stuffy here. How about we go somewhere else to talk?"
