Even since Janet realized that someone had been eyeing her two days ago, she had been waiting for her stalker to show up at the bar. That was also why she had told Mason not to wait on her because this was what she’d be busy about. I must say that their patience deserves to be complimented. After all, who would spend days just stalking someone without making their next move? Whoever they are, they’d better show up tonight, or I’m going to be so unimpressed.
After a brief moment of silence, Lara said, “Alright, Janet. Stay safe and keep us posted on your status!”
“Sure!” Janet responded with an affirmative hum and gently tapped her earpiece to hang up the call.
Not long after that, a mysterious man walked up to the stage and introduced himself. “Ladies and gentlemen, I’m so happy and grateful for all the support you’ve given Golden Luna!” Then, he paused and added, “In order to repay your kindness, I’d like to happily announce that all food and drinks will be on the house. So, please be sure to enjoy yourself to the fullest!”
As soon as the man finished his announcement, the audience filled the pub with cheers and applause. At the same time, many bachelors turned their attention to Janet and tried to hit on her, but since they were all drunk, they began to provoke her. “Hello, little girl. Do you fancy a drink with me?”
Janet looked away and ignored them, but those drunk men showed no signs of giving up. “Oh, so you don’t want to have a drink with me? Do you want to sleep with me then?” Soon, one of them appeared to become touchy-feely, stretching his arms to touch her shoulders. However, before he could lay a finger on her hand, Janet seized his arm and warned him with a nonchalant voice. “Get lost!”
“Okay! Okay! You’re the boss! I’ll beat it now!” The man quickly apologized and left after he didn’t get what he wanted.
Meanwhile, a few men quietly observed the entire conflict in the corner while setting their eyes on Janet. “Young Master Fuller… is that lady the one we’re looking for?”
Shoot! I can’t believe she just drove my man away! While Sheldon was initially planning to step in and ‘rescue’ Janet, he was taken aback to see the lady unfazed by the ‘harassment’.
In the meantime, Janet curled her lips upward behind her mask when she caught a glimpse of the few silhouettes in the corner. Alas! How much longer do I have to wait? Fine, this is getting boring. Just as she was about to leave, a man emerged from the corner and walked up to her, extending his arm to shake her hand.
At that moment, Janet pretended to look surprised, blinking a few times, as she asked, “Who might you be?”
Reiner smiled and said, “You could call me Ray!” Soon, he paused and asked in confusion, “Why are you drinking here alone?”
“Do I know you?” Janet blinked and deflected the man’s hand. Then, she glacially said, “But since you’re good-looking, I don’t mind having a drink with you.”
Reiner couldn’t believe his ears when he heard Janet’s reply. This is better still! There is no need for Young Master Fuller to do this himself! Soon, he squinted and happily smiled. “Of course! It’d be my honor!”
All I have to do now is to make her drunk. Then, we’ll kidnap and take her to Yobril, where she will be forced to treat Old Master Fuller. At the thought of that, he joyously raised his glass and said, “Let’s have a toast for the beginning of a friendship!”
“Sure. It’s a pleasure knowing you!” Janet raised her glass as well while curling her lips upward.
On the other hand, Reiner guzzled down the liquid in his glass, causing the pungent alcoholic taste to overwhelm the taste buds on his tongue. Therefore, he didn’t sense anything out of the ordinary from what he had just swallowed. With a gleeful smile on his face, he secretly waved at Sheldon and signaled the latter to act anytime. Nonetheless, Reiner’s face began to twist in agony the next moment, causing him to place his hand over his stomach. Ugh! This hurts so much!
“You…” Reiner pointed at Janet while pain was written all over his face.
“Sir, are you alright? Sir!”
“Sir! Oh gosh! Someone is not feeling well here!”
Soon, the waiters in the bar quickly came closer to help Reiner up, while the man in black widened his eyes in horror and exclaimed, “Jeez! What’s wrong with Reiner?”
