The Billionaire's Ex-Wife Returns (Lucy and Landon) novel Chapter 55

Chapter 55: Recall

People came in and out of the hotel’s entrance. The exterior of the hotel was lavish, and even from afar during the night, its extravagant appearance did not dim at all. Instead, it looked even more elegant in the eyes, attracting attention everywhere.

The Palace Hotel was just like its name: splendid and magnificent. And just like how unattainable it is to live in one, no ordinary individual can come to the place.

Landon stirred the wheels and stopped in front of the Palace Hotel. As soon as his car parked before the entrance, the valet immediately rushed beside the car, his eyes lighting up with joy and excitement as he recognized the unique car plate number.

Getting out of his car, Landon gave his key and card to the valet, while saying, "Park it somewhere near the entrance."

He wasn’t planning to stay long. Once his talk with Kai was done, he would drive back to his residence and rest.

He didn’t know what Kai wanted. But he was curious why his best friend mentioned Lucy. Kai was never interested in his friends’ wives and partners, and he certainly never talked about them, even if they did something wrong.

So, why the sudden interest?

Landon got out of the elevator and entered the private bar on the eleventh floor. As soon as he stepped into the familiar place, the smell of alcohol and perfumes breezed through his skin like a sticky slime. His brows furrowed in annoyance, and he couldn’t wait to get into their usual spot.

Unlike other bars, this place, however, was extremely modest. There was no noise or music shaking the entire floor, no people dancing in the middle of the dance floor, and the vulgar things that happened in bars did not happen there. Instead, jazz music played in the background, warm golden lights comforted the customer’s senses, and disciplined servers and bartenders stood in position.

"Mr. Westwood, let me guide you to your room."

An old man wearing a black waistcoat, looking dignified approached him with a kind smile. It was the butler overseeing the entire bar. Having known already of Landon’s arrival, he had already stationed himself in front of the bar to welcome him.

Landon wordlessly followed him, ignoring the curious gazes of the people inside the bar. They should be wondering who he was—that the old butler had to personally accompany him.

The old butler led him upstairs, where a room that took up the entire second floor was located. After he was done with his task, the old man said, "Please, get inside. The bar owner has been waiting for you."

Landon pushed the door open and saw a normal-looking room. However, what was strange about this room was that, inside it was another bar, where a man was already sitting on a stool and drinking with his head lowered.

"It has been a while, hasn’t it?" Kai didn’t turn as he swirled his glass, letting the golden liquid turn into a small whirlpool.

Landon moved his long legs and took the stool beside him. On top of the bar table, a glass with the same Nolet’s Reserve gin.

Taking a small sip from the glass, Landon set it down gently before saying, "You wanted to talk about my wife?"

He didn’t even spare a single nonsense and went straight to the point, drawing out a chuckle from Kai, who took another huge gulp from his glass as if it were water.

He furrowed his brows, annoyed.

Kai caught a glimpse of his friend’s expression and couldn’t help but sigh. "Calm down; I haven’t even said a word yet."
