It's two o'clock in the morning. VIP room of the Night Queen.
Three guys sat around, their eyes fixed on a gloomy-faced Jared.
Brayden Simonds yawned, "Mr. Whitfield, what's up with you today? You called us out in the dead of the night, and you're not drinking or talking. You're not just here to piss us off, right?"
Mr. K touched his chin and said: "Mr. Whitfield seems to be a little bit wrong today, it looks a bit like a broken relationship."
Shawn slapped Mr. K on the head, "Stop being such a nerd! Didn't you hear that Mamie proposed to Mr. Whitfield? I bet he dragged us here just to show off."
Mr. K rubbed his head, "But Mr. Whitfield doesn't look happy at all."
With that, all eyes were back on Jared.
They started to study Jared's expression seriously and finally agreed that this was a classic case of pre-wedding jitters.
Just then, the door to the room opened.
Ivan had arrived.
Shawn hurriedly called out, "Ivan, come and see. Mr. Whitfield is messing with us. He's about to get hitched and dragged us single lads out to rub his pre-wedding jitters in our faces."
Ivan strolled over casually and said nonchalantly, "He's been married for three months already."
Everyone was surprised.
"If he's been married for so long, why is he proposing now?"
Ivan continued, "The one he married isn't Mamie, but a 20-year-old girl."
