Meanwhile, in the VIP room upstairs, Lucian watched the middle-aged men with pot bellies toasting each other with a blank expression.
When he picked Estella up that afternoon, he noticed that she was in low spirits. Further to that, Estella had just thrown a tantrum at him upon reaching home.
I guess Essie's in a bad mood because she hasn't seen Roxanne in a while. Perhaps she treated Essie aloofly? Regardless of the reason, I'm still the one to blame. She's keeping a distance from Essie on purpose because of me.
Because of that matter, Lucian was feeling cranky the whole night.
He got even more irritated for not obtaining any satisfactory proposal from those men, albeit having a long day of discussion.
“Excuse me. I'm heading out for some fresh air.” With that said, Lucian stood up directly.
The men dared not utter a word and watched him stride out of the room.
Lucian's private room was facing the dance floor downstairs. As he walked out, his gaze fell to the dance floor, and he saw a glimpse of a familiar figure.
Immediately, Lucian paused in his tracks.
The light flickered uncontrollably on the dance floor, and it caused Lucian to doubt his eyesight. As he attempted to look again, that familiar figure was already out of his sight.
He stood still, staring straight at the dance floor, hoping that he could locate that figure again. Nevertheless, he found nothing. Lucian retracted his gaze and started to scoff at himself inwardly.
I wonder what kind of magic power
Roxanne has? I was merely checking the place out. Why would I have a figment of my imagination?
Just when he was about to turn around and return, he heard a loud noise coming from one of the tables downstairs.
That sound instantly attracted everyone's attention. With that, almost everyone in the bar shifted their attention to the table, including Lucian.
Lucian's eyes darkened at once when he saw the person from that table.
It wasn't an illusion! That familiar figure was indeed Roxanne! She must have returned back to her table after getting tired of dancing on the dance floor.
