Chapter 212
I’ll Take You Up On Your Offer At the same time, in the VIP room upstairs, Byron was expressionless as he watched a bunch of pot-belled middle-aged men toasting to one another.
When he picked Estie up that afternoon, she had been feeling very down. When they reached home, she even threw a tantrum at him. Byron could guess why she was in a bad mood. It was probably because she had not been able to meet that woman, or rather, the fact that the woman had become so distant to her.
The root of the problem lay with him, though. That woman was keeping her distance from Estie because of him. As a result, Byron had been in a bad mood all night too.
The middle-aged men had been discussing for hours now, yet they could not come up with a proposition he could accept. Byron’s impatience grew.
“Go on, you lot. I’m going out for some fresh air,” Byron said coldly, standing up. The other men did not dare to stop him, watching him leave awkwardly. The room was overlooking the dance floor. When Byron stepped out, his gaze inevitably went to the dance floor.
All of a sudden, he saw a familiar figure flitting across the dance floor.
Byron stopped dead in his tracks.
The lights of the dance floor flashed again, making that figure feel like nothing more than a mirage. When he tried to find her again, she was gone. Byron stared down at the dance floor, looking for her to no avail. After a long time, he gave up with a self-deprecating laugh. How could she hold so much power over him? She haunted even his most casual glance.
As he was about to turn around and return to the room, he suddenly heard a loud commotion from the seats downstairs.
It felt like the everyone in the entire bar turned to look over at the seats.
