Chapter 107

“Hey, let me ask you something, Blondie said.

Verena paused, a bit surprised. “Ask away.”

Blondie set down his glass and smiled warmly at her.

“You’ve been bouncing around all night. Aren’t you tired?”

Verena’s smile disappeared completely.

Blondie continued.

Ever since Henry walked in, you’ve been running all over the place, introducing yourself, explaining misunderstandings and now you’re laying a trap for me.”

He paused, his grin spreading even wider.

So, what? You think I’m stupid? You really think I can’t tell what you’re trying to do?”

Verena’s face was turning white as a sheet.

she opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but the words just wouldn’t come.

Blondie leaned back on the couch, crossing his legs.

So, who do you want me to pick? Talia? Then what? Snap a photo and show it to Mr. Pierce, trying to make it look and I have something shady going on?

Or do you really think I’m so blind I’d actually fall for you?”

He chuckled. “Verena, is your brain really that simple?”

Verena’s face shifted from pale to red, then to blue. Her expressions were a whole palette of emotions

some nickname or joke.

Blondie took his glass and leisurely took a sip.

“And those things you said earlier, like how being pretty means you get everything easy, or how people are always fo around you wherever you go…”

He set down his glass and looked straight at Verena.

“Taha never even gave you the time of day. You were the one pushing yourself in. Now that you got called out your throwing shade?”

“You walk in here, acting all buddy–buddy with me like we’re old friends. Gotta say, you’ve got nerves thicker than a wall!”

Verena’s face lost all its color, and the way Blondie roasted her had her nearly in tears. She was about to cry night ther there.

She stood up, grabbed her bag, and turned to leave.

Zach opened his mouth, wanting to stop her, but in the end, he just closed it and let her go.

Blondie watched her leave and let out a mocking laugh.

“Don’t let the door hit you on the way out,” he called after her.

Verena’s steps faltered for a moment, then she hurried off even faster.

Elijah, Quinn, and Zach exchanged glances, none of them daring to say a word.

After that, Zach swore he’d never bring random friends over again. If he brought another xdrot who han Blondie would totally stop letting him hang out with the crew.

Blondie lifted his glass at them.

“Why are you just standing there? Come on, drink!”

The three quickly grabbed their glasses and knocked back their drinks in one go

20 WIN

Henry’s eyes never left Natalie, the girl quietly absorbed in her phone. He couldn’t hide the smile tugging at his lips. Lewis and Blondie shot each other a look, both forcing a smile.

Henry curved his lips into a smile, stepped aside, and made a polite gesture, inviting her to go first.

Blondie was about to follow, but Lewis blocked his way. “Hey there, where do you think you’re going?”

Just stop him, and that cash is mine!

Man, love really does make money rain!”

Blondie was speechless.

20 vouch

Upstairs, the VVIP private room.

As the door opened, warm yellow light spilled out, and the space was more than twice as big as the booths downstairs.

Leather sofas were arranged in a circle, and on the coffee table, there was an elegant fruit platter and a few bottles of op fine wine.

Outside the floor–to–ceiling windows, the city’s night view was on full display. Neon lights flickered, and the streets were packed with cars.

Natalie sat down on the sofa and casually picked up a strawberry from the fruit platter.

Henry sat down across from her and poured himself a glass of wine.

What do you want to drink?” he asked.

Natalie gave the strawberry in her hand a little shake.

I’m good,” she replied.

Henry’s lips curled into a faint smile, but he didn’t press further.

He leaned back on the sofa, holding his glass, his gaze quietly settling on her.

His look was understated, carrying a subtle softness that was easy to miss.

Natalie bit into the strawberry and looked up at him.

What are you staring at?” she said.

Henry looked away and took a sip of his wine.

Nothing he replied.
