Theo chuckled. "I'm at The Imperial Club. Do you want to come over?”
My phone vibrated, and after looking at it, I saw that h e had sent me the address.
He clearly knew that I knew where The Imperial Club was yet he still sent me the address. It was obvious he wanted me to go.
I helplessly smiled. "I'll get changed before going over."
Munchkin was not at home, and it was too boring to stay at home by myself, so I thought it was a good idea to go out.
After changing my clothes, I drove out of the house straight away.
It took about half an hour to drive from the villa to The Imperial Club, but since it was rush hour now, the road was a little congested. It took me more than an hour to get there.
The manager of The Imperial Club recognized me because of Cassey, so as soon as I walked in, he greeted me with a smile. "Ms. Lane, you must be here t o see Mr. Grant, right?"
I nodded with a smile. "Please take me to him."
"Sure." The manager made a gesture of invitation. " Please come with me."
When we got to the private room door, I caught a strong whiff of alcohol when I pushed the door in.
Theo and Zedd were the only ones inside. It was clear that Zedd had too much to drink as he was slumped o n the sofa, looking completely wasted.
Perhaps we had not seen each other for a very long time, I thought he seemed a little haggard at first glance. His face was full of stubbles, and it was clear h e had been living a decadent life lately.
There was a glass of plain water in front of Theo. It was clear he had not touched a single drop of alcohol. His slender and charming body leaned against the back of the sofa, watching with a blank expression as Zedd poured his heart out.
Seeing that I was here, Theo waved at me and beckoned me to go over.
I walked up to his side and looked at the slightly wretched-looking Zedd. The usually sharp-tongued man was now mumbling, "Theo, it's been a decade? Don’t you agree that I've sacrificed a lot for her in the past decade? Why won't she spare a glance at me?"
