Luther was shocked and jumped back on reflex. He gave Fabian a puzzled look and asked, “What the hell, man? What do you think you’re doing?”
“You think you can just simply touch my wife’s hand inappropriately?” Fabian challenged icily.
“What the heck? How could that be considered inappropriate touching? It was just a friendly handshake,” Luther defended himself emphatically. “Aren’t you being too petty?”
Hannah was speechless as well. I can’t even shake hands with other people now? This is way too harsh! She couldn’t help but worry for Luther, whose hand was awfully red.
“Hmm? So you really do want to go to a psychiatric hospital?” Fabian looked at Luther threateningly.
Luther shook his head in defeat. “You’ve only ever been good at bullying me since we were young. I am not talking to you anymore! Hmph!”
“Pfft!”
Helen who was standing behind Hannah couldn’t help but let out a stifled laugh. Upon seeing her sister’s murderous glare, she quickly apologized to Luther. “I’m so sorry. I… I… Hahaha! I just couldn’t hold it in.”
“Uh…” Her response made Luther feel even more awkward.
You should’ve just kept quiet instead of blurting that out! Luther sighed internally.
Hannah frowned and hastily said, “I apologize on behalf of my sister. She can be quite clueless sometimes. Please don’t mind her.”
“It’s okay. The youngling had no idea that Fabian and I always joke around. Don’t worry, I will not hold a grudge against her.”
With a casual wave of his hand, Luther magnanimously put a stop to the awkward situation.
“That’s enough, don’t just stand there. Come and sit down. Fabian, introduce your lovely wife to us. I didn’t really get to see her up close during the wedding.” Another person who was in the private room chimed in.
Fabian nodded and took Hannah’s hand to lead her into the room.
Meanwhile…
“Remember everything I said to you. If you want to become famous, do as I say.”
Yvette dragged a girl along with her. They headed into a private room in a nightclub.
“Don’t worry,” said the girl, nodding her head obediently. “I’ll listen to everything you say.”
“Good, then let’s go in.”
She opened the door of the private room and entered.
A middle-aged man with slicked-back hair was seated on the sofa in the private room. Specks of white were poking through the sides of his hair. He seemed to be worried about something.
However, when he saw Yvette and the girl behind her, his eyes shone with anticipation. A satisfied smile appeared on his face.
“Good to see you, Mr. Dane,” said Yvette.
She extended her arm toward the middle-aged man.
The man was none other than Jaxon Dane, the chief of the Baykeep National Supervisory Commission. He had the authority to report any official. Hence, he called the shots in B City. Even the mayor would have to be wary of him.
“Ms. Tanner, pleasure to see you.”
Jaxon smiled pleasantly. Since Yvette was an actress, she was kind of acquainted with him. However, they were not familiar with each other.
“Hi, this is a new actress who just joined our company. She’s quite talented, and she’s under my wing right now. I hope you can take good care of her.” Yvette introduced the girl next to her.
Jaxon turned to look at the girl. He was as happy as a lark while scrutinizing her. This girl is gorgeous! Compared to those run-off-the-mill glamorous women out there, she has a refreshing quality. If she were a virgin, then it would be perfect!
“Since she’s a new actress under your tutelage, I will naturally make sure she’s taken care of,” replied Jaxon, nodding his head.
Jaxon was a lecherous man, and Yvette was very much aware of this fact. Although she did not have the misfortune to end up in his bed, the same could not be said for many of the starlets in her company.
“Mr. Dane, I asked you out to let you get to know her better.”
Yvette sat down with the girl and said, “Come on, quickly introduce yourself.”
Right after she had finished introducing herself, Yvette stood up and informed Jaxon that she had to leave. “It’s really unfortunate, but I have to leave for a while to take care of an errand. I hope both of you can take your time to get acquainted. If you feel tired, you can rest in the presidential suite next door. I have already booked the room for you.”
