Aron walked away with a look of understanding.
"Austin, do you know where Leon has gone?" Michelle turned her head to ask Austin. Everyone else was still singing and playing games, but he was the only one sitting on the sofa and playing with his mobile phone.
Austin looked up from his phone, gazing at Michelle. He then motioned to the door and said, "He went out to answer a phone call."
"Okay." Michelle turned around and looked at the closed door. She then pulled out her phone and dialed Leon's number. He didn't answer her call. She sent him a message on WeChat, but there was no response as well.
She was starting to get worried that something bad might have happened to him. It was then that she decided to go out.
"Are you going to find him? I'll go with you. It's not safe to go out alone," Austin said, standing up.
"Thank you, Austin." Michelle smiled brightly up at him, revealing her teeth. Austin couldn't help but curl his lips into a smile.
While still in the middle of a game, Debra spotted the two of them walking out. She quickly stood up and followed them. "Where are you two going? It's not that I don't trust the two of you alone together, but we are in the Silverhall Nightclub. This place is not that..."
She trailed off. She saw the purity in Michelle's eyes, and she found herself unable to finish.
"Please take care of Michelle, Austin."
"Okay." There was no need for Debra to tell Austin this. She knew that he would protect Michelle. But he was quick to guess that Debra had completely misunderstood the situation. "Michelle wants to look for Leon. I'm going with her," he explained.
It was only then that Debra realized that someone was missing in the room. "Did Leon go out?"
Michelle nodded. "I'm worried about Leon. I can't seem to contact him, so I want to find him."
"Maybe something urgent came up. Leon is a grown man after all. Nothing will happen to him. You don't have to worry so much." Debra tried to comfort Michelle. Upon discovering that the two weren't planning to sneak off for a date or something, she was worried that the two might get in trouble. After all, Silverhall Nightclub was really not a good place.
"I'll go with you, too." Debra opened the door to find two bodyguards standing guard. When they saw her, they respectfully greeted her. Apparently, these were men sent by her father.
She asked them to continue guarding the door to the booth while she, Michelle, and Austin went out to find Leon.
In the Silverhall Nightclub, there were three floors above them and two below. They were currently on the third floor. It was quiet there. Apart from the occasional waiters that walked by, they couldn't hear any other noise that usually belonged to a nightclub.
Searching for someone in this place was like looking for a needle in a haystack. There were many forbidden areas where nobody was allowed to get in.
Debra came from a rich family, but everyone who was allowed to go to the third floor was either rick or powerful. Those who could go to the two floors below were the real big shots.
During their search for Leon, Debra was very cautious. Michelle also knew that she should be careful. She didn't dare say anything or even look around.
The waiters in the Silverhall Nightclub had undergone rigorous training. It was impossible to get any information out of them. When they were asked if they saw anyone, they would only answer politely, "Sorry, I don't know."
The longer they searched, the more Michelle started to worry. She was afraid that something had happened to Leon.
They already searched every corner of the third and second floors. Meanwhile, Leon was still not answering his phone.
The hall in the first floor was noisy. Everyone there was drinking freely and laughing boisterously. The music was also playing very loudly. Well-behaved girls didn't fit in here. As a result, many men looked them up and down.
But since Austin was there, none of the men dared approach them or invite them over. Someone accosted Debra. As soon as he offered a glass to her, the staff in the nightclub stopped him.
