Franklin was not surprised. He turned to look at Lucille, and soon he revealed a faint smile, "Then come on in."
"Okay."
Lucille clenched her fists lightly and stared at the entrance of Neon Bar, which was full of colorful neon lights. After struggling internally for a while, she finally took a step forward.
She followed the people in front of her and walked forward.
Along with Franklin, there were also two other playboys, each having a woman by their side.
When Lucille entered the bar, the waiter stopped her, "Excuse me, are you here alone?"
The waiters were experienced. Just taking a glance at Lucille, they could tell that she didn't seem to fit in there.
"I..." Lucille did not know how to answer.
"She was invited by Young Master Moore."
Before Lucille could speak further, Yvonne received Franklin's instructions and swaggered over to explain to the waiter.
When the waiter heard that she was with Franklin, he stepped aside instantly, "Apologies, please come in."
Lucille shook her head and silently followed the people to the most luxurious private room in the bar.
The three men sat at one end of the room with each having a woman in their arms.
Lucille stood at a corner alone, not knowing where to go.
Seeing this, Yvonne's red lips pressed against Franklin's cheek and spoke in a volume that was audible to everyone, "Young Master Moore, your ex-wife is not cool. Why is she still standing over there?"
"Who knows?"
Franklin did not even cast a glance at her but called the waiter over to order some wine and food.
At that moment, Lucille actually regretted her decision of going in.
She wished to explain to Franklin about the misunderstanding about her and Zoel. She did not have to come to such a place for that reason.
She felt uneasy in such a place.
However, when Lucille saw Franklin holding Yvonne in his arms, rage surged through her.
She was jealous and furious.
She walked toward them and stood in between Franklin and Yvonne, "I want to sit here."
Her fair finger pointed at the place between the two of them.
"The ex-wife of Young Master Moore, are you trying to vie for a seat with me?" Yvonne was a little angry. She deliberately hooked her arm around Franklin's neck and spoke coquettishly, "Young Master Moore, I'm not happy."
Franklin raised his head and looked at Lucille in front of him. Her clear eyes were full of grievances. Knowing that she must have mustered up her courage to say that, Franklin was a bit excited.
"Okay."
Franklin then stretched out and pushed Yvonne to the side to make a space in between.
Lucille was surprised that Franklin would really give her a seat. She sat down immediately.
The space was small that she was pressing against Franklin when she sat down.
Yvonne who was at her back, gritted her teeth in fury.
"Mr. Moore..."
Lucille sat there and didn't know what to do.
She was at a loss.
Franklin didn't mind. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and put the lighter in her hand, then he asked, "Do you know how to light a cigarette?"
"Yes, I do."
Lucille nodded.
She lit the lighter with her small hand rustily, and gently lit up the cigarette for Franklin.
Under the dim light, Lucille saw the faint smile on Franklin's face through the flame.
However, she could tell that the smile was wry.
At that moment, a waiter brought in some wine.
"Serve the wine."
