With a scornful smile on his face, Tim said, "Turn right when you go out. Vivian will be in the second to the last room on your left."
Not wasting any more time, John stood up and made his way out. Once he was out of sight, Adrian pushed the women away in disgust. He was just about to leave as well, but then, he heard Tim's voice.
"Don't blame me for not reminding you. John is the only one she wants to meet. If you go there, John may not get what he wants."
Adrian stopped in his tracks for a second before the three of them went out one after the other, closing the door behind them. Except for the footsteps of waiters walking by, the corridor went silent again.
"You stay. I'll go there by myself." John set his sight on the corridor, put one hand into his trouser pocket, and started to make his way over as if nothing had happened.
But before he could walk away, Adrian grabbed John's arm and said, "No. What if there's a trap set up there? Vivian still can't forget you. What if she tries to rape you?"
The moment John heard about the possibility of Vivian trying to force him to sleep with her, a look of disgust appeared in his eyes and he grasped Adrian's wrist tightly.
"Ouch, it hurts. Be gentle..."
John shook off Adrian's hand.
Amy said, "Don't worry, Mr. Song. Mr. Shi can fight ten people on his own right now. Unless they are special soldiers, they aren't likely to win against him."
Adrian shook his head. "The problem is that Mr. Shi doesn't beat women. He is a gentleman."
John snorted. "Are there any other women besides Nina?"
Hearing his words, Adrian,
Richard,
and Amy were speechless.
Seeing how stunned his words had left the three of them, John left.
It was not until John had disappeared around the corner that Adrian realized what had just happened. He put his arm on Richard's shoulder and sighed. "Mr. Shi always says sweet words nowadays. Is he still the same person?"
Amy felt the exact same way. "Having a partner makes people change. The same goes for James and Mr. Shi."
Adrian clicked his tongue and nodded. He couldn't agree with her more. Then, all of a sudden, Richard's shoulder disappeared from under his elbow and he staggered.
"Richard, what are you doing?" Adrian shouted. 'What if I fell and my face got ruined?' he thought to himself.
"If Mr. Song fell down, Henry would have given you a lot of trouble," Amy reminded Richard.
"Henry will make trouble for me if I let Mr. Song continue to lean on me." Richard moved aside.
Amy blinked. 'How could I forget that Adrian is different from others? It won't be a big deal if he gets close to a woman,
but it will be troublesome if he gets close to a man.' Adrian had no idea what to say.
"Are we going to wait for Mr. Shi here?" Amy walked forward and looked at the door of the second to the last room on the left side. The door was closed.
"Stop thinking about it. There is nothing we can do right now." Adrian wanted to put his arm on Richard's shoulder again. He was used to having Henry's shoulder to lean on, but when he remembered what Richard had said just moments ago, he withdrew his arm silently.
"We can either book a private room, or go to the hall to listen to music, and dance. We can't wait out here in the corridor. It's one of the rules of the Silverhall Nightclub.
But we can't book a private room right now. Private rooms have to be booked in advance. That's how it is in Silverhall Nightclub." Out of the three of them, Adrian knew the most about the nightclub.
"Let's just go out and wait." With that, Adrian turned around.
The three of them had only taken two steps forward when they saw Vivian in front of them. She had long, silky hair, delicate make-up, and a smile on her face. Her white and pink dress was just like a pure lotus that didn't have even a trace of mud on it.
She was in a place of feasting and revelry, and to a lot of people, she might seem a little out of place. But strangely enough, as the three of them looked at her face, they felt that she fit this place a lot.
If it weren't for the fact that they knew she was Vivian, Adrian would have thought that she was a prostitute from the Silverhall Nightclub.
"Mr. Song, long time no see," Vivian greeted him with a smile. Then she looked at Richard and Amy and said, "I see you are also here. John must be waiting for me, right?"
