Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan) novel Chapter 2727

Lambert replied, “That’s easy. My men are arriving in the country tomorrow. Send me her address, and I guarantee she won’t be going anywhere for the next two days.”

Manley raised an eyebrow. “Estelle and I would feel better if you watched her personally.”

If it was for Stella’s good, Lambert was naturally all in. “No problem. I’ll watch her myself.”

Manley nodded in satisfaction. “Then it’s settled.”

He started the car and pulled away from the Lamont estate.

Lambert asked, “Where are we going?”

“To reward Pot & Kettle. I’m taking you somewhere nice.” Manley smirked, the obsidian stud in his earlobe glinting coldly.

Manley took Lambert to a club called Blue Oasis.

The moment they walked in, five or six hostesses, arranged in advance by Manley, swarmed them, surrounding Lambert.

He was enveloped by soft, fragrant bodies. The women were all stunningly beautiful, with figures to match, and their skills at charming a man were extraordinary. For a moment, Lambert couldn't break free.

Manley downed a glass of liquor, glanced at Lambert entangled with the women, and stood up to leave.

As he left, he instructed the manager, “Send a few more in later. Make sure Pot & Kettle is satisfied.”

The manager immediately replied, “Rest assured, Mr. Scott!”

Manley glanced back at the private room door closing behind the hostesses, a wild smile on his lips. He walked down the corridor and took out his phone at the elevator.

“Book me a flight to C City for tomorrow morning,” he told his assistant.

Just as he finished, the elevator doors opened. Manley pocketed his phone, stuck one hand in his pocket, and stepped inside.

Had he already left?

She drank another glass of wine and stared up at the twinkling festive lights, suddenly feeling a wave of disappointment.

She turned to pour another drink, and her eyes froze. She whipped her head back around.

About forty feet away, the man stood amongst the crowd, his dark, heavy-lidded eyes fixed on her.

He was still dressed in black, his tall frame exuding a cool, untamed aura that stood in stark contrast to the glittering lights and lavishly dressed guests around him. Yet it was this very contrast that made Norah’s heart suddenly pound out of control.

Her moist gaze traveled through the noise and the crowd, settling on him for a long moment.

Unexpected joy flooded her heart, and a film of moisture clouded her beautiful almond eyes.

She rose to her feet and instinctively started walking toward him.
