The Man Who Waited vs. The Man Who Wasted novel Chapter 336

Audrey wanted to get out of The Sovereign Club as fast as possible.

If Adrian found out she had come here to spy on him, he would be furious.

But the moment she turned around, she crashed right into him.

His expression was thunderous.

"Are you tracking me?"

Audrey bit her lip, completely at a loss for words.

She had come because a friend texted her, claiming they saw Adrian getting very cozy with a beautiful woman.

The friend even sent a photo. It was blurry, showing only the woman's back, but the figure looked agonizingly like Jocelyn.

Audrey had rushed over immediately. She needed to see for herself if that vixen was trying to seduce her Adrian, or if it was just some escort looking for a sugar daddy.

But standing in front of him now, Audrey instantly regretted her impulsive decision. She knew exactly what Adrian hated most.

Terrified of the raw anger in his eyes, she spoke in a small, trembling voice. "Adrian, let me explain..."

Adrian's jaw tightened. "You've really disappointed me, Audrey."

He turned on his heel to leave.

Panic seized her, and she threw her arms around his waist from behind, bursting into tears. "I'm sorry, Adrian! I didn't mean to! I was just so scared... My friend said they saw you here with another woman, looking really intimate... I... You haven't been home in two days, and I couldn't get a hold of you. I felt so insecure..."

Adrian pried her hands off and turned to face her.

There was no tenderness left in his eyes, only cold irritation. "The woman your friend saw is a client. I brought her to the city's biggest club to relax after a meeting."

Audrey looked at him, unconvinced.

Adrian pulled out his phone. "If you don't believe me, I'll call her right now and have her explain it to you herself."

Audrey actually opened her mouth to say yes.

But Adrian cut her off. "Think carefully before you answer. If you offend one of my most important clients over your baseless paranoia, are you prepared to face the consequences?"

That immediately killed the idea.

So why did he vaguely wish she was the one trying to keep tabs on him now?

Ironically, he really owed Jocelyn a thank you for today. If she hadn't caused a scene in the hallway earlier, Audrey would have caught him red-handed with Lana.

It wasn't that he was afraid of Audrey finding out. He just dreaded the headache. If Caleb Preston and Eleanor Lowell got involved, he would never hear the end of it. And worse, Lana's peaceful new life would be instantly destroyed.

Adrian glanced around the crowded club, genuinely curious about what Jocelyn was doing in a place like this. She was so proper, so rigid. She hated environments like this.

He scanned the room, secretly hoping to catch a glimpse of her.

But she was nowhere to be found.

Audrey tugged on his arm, acting cute. "Adrian, let's go home. You haven't been back in two days, and Grandma is starting to get angry."

Adrian lied without skipping a beat. "Didn't I tell you I've been busy prepping for the tech expo? I worked late and didn't want to wake anyone up, so I just slept at the office."

Audrey believed him instantly. "I know you work so hard. I'll give you a nice massage tonight to help you relax."

On the drive back, Audrey remembered the favor Claire had asked of her. She wanted to bring it up, but she felt torn on how to approach it.
