Chapter 79
The Goldland Lounge at 8.00PM.
In a spacious and luxurious private room, Dariel and Simon were playing
billiards while frequently glancing in the direction of the couch and trying not
to burst into laughter.
“Why don’t you be straightforward if you want to sleep with her? Why go
through all this trouble? Getting a cold and fever isn’t worth it.” Dariel was
rejoicing in Seth’s misfortune.
Simon chuckled while playing the role of the good cop. “Mr. Shaffer is a man
of taste. Stop harping on whether he sleeps with her or not.”
“Sorry for being superficial.” Dariel shook his head and lit a cigarette. “I won’t

“Not everyone is a pervert like you.” Simon laughed.
Their banter continued, but Seth, who was sitting on the couch, didn’t even

Seth, who was sitting on the couch with his back facing the door, furrowed his
brows instinctively at the mention of Isabella’s name. After a brief pause, he
immediately adopted a stern tone. “Tell her to leave!”
The bartender was taken aback and quickly nodded.
“Wait.” Dariel stopped the bartender, dropped his cue stick, and said to Seth
with a smile, “Don’t do that. Maybe she’s mustered up the courage to come
