At the Sky Club.
As Todd pushed open the door, he saw Aydan holding a microphone and wailing like a ghost.
Phillip leaned against the sofa in stark contrast and put on a poker face.
They were in the same room, but Aydan and Phillip seemed to be in different areas.
One was in a bustling street while the other was in a meditation room.
Todd scanned around and sat down beside Phillip.
He put one leg up and across the other and said casually, "Hey, man, do you know what a great opportunity it is? How can you let it slip easily?"
It wasn't easy to see Daisy put off her disguise, but Todd hadn't even done anything...
Phillip sat as still as a defined sculpture.
Todd rubbed his nose and tried to liven up the atmosphere by making a joke.
"Your woman took Daisy away from my house, and she looked at me like I was a rogue. We are as close as family, right? You have to speak something nice to me. I look like a charming playboy, but in a good way!"
As Todd's voice fell, he felt a chill all over his body.
Todd had no idea when he provoked the 'icy statue,' whose expression changed from composure to gloominess. He caught a glimpse of Phillip's eyes that sent a chill down his spine.
Todd's heart skipped a beat, and his brain ran rapidly.
'Did they break up as Aydan said?'
Todd rubbed his chin, moved to Aydan's side, and patted his shoulder.
Aydan was singing while He noticed Todd's uncomfortable look.
"Todd, did you fail? Look at the slap on your face."
Todd furrowed his brows and waved Aydan's hand away. He raised his chin at Phillip, drinking alone on the sofa.
"Did he break up with Ann?"
"He failed even with your help. Phillip likely gives up this time," Aydan said, spreading his hands.
Todd waved Aydan to come closer and then whispered something into his ear.
Aydan screwed up his face as he peeped at Phillip.
"Are you sure he won't throw us out of the window after that?" Aydan doubted Todd's plan.
Todd beamed at Aydan, "I don't know. Why don't you give it a try? If you want to see Phillip sink in this trouble forever, then keep singing."
Aydan hesitated for a while and nodded.
...
The Sky Club's manager opened the door and nudged some young women into the private room. They were lined up in a row facing the sofa.
The fat manager gave a fawning smile and looked at the three men.
"Mr. Phillip, Mr. Todd, these are the most beautiful chicks in our club. By the way, they are fresh!"
Todd drifted his eyes around the girls of all kinds, including the girl-next-door type, the hot and sexy type, the Lolita-cute type, and the conservative type...
Finally, Todd stopped his scan on a young girl standing at the side, and his eyes lit up.
"You, what's your name?" He pointed at the girl and asked.
The girl was chickened out, but she pulled herself together and answered his question.
"Anny."
Todd was satisfied with this girl because she looked like Ann and had a similar name as Ann.
The smile on Todd's face deepened, "It's you. Come and sit. Tonight, you have to make Mr. Phillip happy. First, fill the glass for him!"
