    Lucas gave an embarrassed look.


    "Mr. Atherton is meeting his friends at Barricade Club. He''s not in the office right now."


    Joanne was so angry that she almost cursed. She waited here all morning for nothing.


    After saying thank you to Lucas, Joanne took a taxi and went straight to Barricade Club.


    Lucas stared at her back and gave a sly smile.


    The car braked in front of Barricade Club.


    Joanne had oftene here with Edwin before, so she went straight to Edwin''s exclusive private room


    on the top floor.


    Edwin was sitting in the middle of a dozen people, leaning back on the sofa, and his loose casual shirt


    was pulled half open, revealing his sexy chest.


    Edwin looked rxed, asionally saying a few words. The two women around him showed shy


    expressions.


    Joanne saw this as soon as she came in, feeling sad and angry.


    Edwin ruined others'' hard work easily.


    However, he was enjoying himself here.


    In a huff, Joanne shouted, "Edwin!"


    The men and women in the room paused at the sound of her voice and looked at the door in unison.


    Joanne was wearing a simple T-shirt and pants, without makeup. She did not fit in with the atmosphere


    here.


    "Yo, who are you, cute girl?" a drunken man teased.


    Another man in a suit whistled yfully. "Although Mr.


    Atherton has quit showbiz, he is really lucky. I can''t count how many girls havee to him."

    "I''m so envious of Mr. Atherton. So many pretty girls are chasing him."


    Hearing the jokes, Edwin rubbed his throbbing temples and nced at Joanne drunkenly. "Since you


    are here, why are you still standing at the door? Come in and y with us."


    Joanne took a deep breath, held back her anger, and entered the private room.


    "Miss, sit here." A man greeted Joanne with a smile.


    When she was about 3 feet away from Edwin, the man suddenly smiled mischievously and pushed


    Joanne''s back hard.


    Joanne was not prepared for this, so she stumbled and lunged forward...


    Her hands were spread out, and her posture was embarrassing.


    The man and the women around Edwin had wanted to watch the fun.


    Unexpectedly, Edwin suddenly stood up, shook a woman off his chest with one hand, quickly grabbed


    Joanne''s waist, and pulled her into his arms.


    Joanne happened to sit down on Edwin''sp.


    They were so close to each other, which looked intimate.


    "Wow! How passionate she is!"


    There was a burst of guffaw.


    Joanne''s face was hot as she quickly tried to stand up from Edwin''sp.


    Yet Edwin domineeringly held her waist with one arm and raised her jaw with his fingers, smiling,


    "Baby, since you just wanted to hug me, you should have said it directly. Why did you go through all the


    trouble? If you had fallen, I would be heartbroken."
