Chapter 90 Calvin's Territory
“That’s not true. It’s only the usual fare. My subordinates must have alarmed you unnecessarily with their ignorance.
Calvin remained calm as ever and swept a glance over the private lounge. He narrowed his eyes upon noticing a woman seated on the couch, concealing her face with her hands.
“I only wish to remind you that the authorities have kept a tight watch on us recently, so don’t cause any trouble,” Calvin replied indifferently and asked the waiter behind him to bring in a dozen bottles of beer.
“Of course I won’t, Mr. Barrett. You showed me such good hospitality and even sent a woman to me. Why would I want to cause you trouble?”
The woman covered her face more securely. Seeing that, Calvin smirked and replied, “I wish you an enjoyable time, Mr. Lane.”
After Calvin left the room, Josie closed her eyes in despair. She never expected Calvin to own this place.
Josie could tell from how Calvin looked at her that he recognized her. Yet, he did not say anything. It meant he feared Mr. Lane and wanted nothing to do with her.
Perhaps he would only consider helping her if she mentioned Dexter’s name. However, Josie could not say anything at the time for some reason.
“Mr. Barrett, what’s the matter?” the waiter could not help but ask when he noticed Calvin walking fast. “Mr. Russell has a business gathering on the top floor, right?” Calvin sounded tense.
Dexter had just arrived and met with a group of people who enjoyed this kind of place. He had no choice. but to join them.
Most of the people from Landon had arrived. Each senior director had a woman in their embrace. Only Dexter sat alone in his seat, fiddling with his cards.
He pulled out a card and tossed it gently on the table. The police are keeping a close watch these days. I was quite surprised by the phone call.
