Chapter 408: Encounter With The CEO


    J wasn’t mad at all she was clear with herself that the life she was living was the life that she


    wanted "Well, I suppose that makes sense,"


    she offered she didn’t want to argue with E any further No one could truly know whether a marriage


    was happy or not aside from the involved couple themselves, anyway she couldn’t care less if E


    failed to understand that She had only bothered with a retort because she didn’t want anyone to look


    down on Ethan


    Despite what others might think, Ethan was the most responsible, calm, and reliable man she had ever


    met E continued bbering throughout dinner, boasting about how huge her luxury mansion was,


    and how she had servants to help her get dressed in the morning


    Now and then, she would insert minorints that her life had be dull and boring after she


    married a rich mans It wasn’t long before J got fed up with E’s arrogant diatribe.


    She furtively gathered her purse and thought of an excuse to leave once the meal was finished.


    But E was quick to notice her intention.She immediately clung to J’s arm and shed a knowing


    smile.


    "Oh, are you going to the bathroom, J? We’re heading to a high-ss club after dinner to y


    cards and maybe do a bit of karaoke. You''reing, right?"


    One of their ssmates also spoke up.


    "Come on, J, you’ll be sorry if you miss this chance.E booked the Merry Club for us.I heard that


    it’s exclusive for members only, and you can’t apply unless you own some hundred million dors’


    worth of assets."


    As impressive as it sounded, J was not interested at all.


    "I’m a little tired," she said.


    "I’d like to go home early and get some rest."


    Ironically, her words only seemed to excite E even more.


    "Aren’t you sick of spending your days just working? Live a little! Look, if you’re hesitating because you


    don’t want to spend your hard-earned money, I can cover all the expenses for you.What do you say?


    We all finally got together after so long! Don’t be such a killjoy."


    Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.


    J squirmed as everyone’s gaze locked on her. Before she knew it, E was pulling her into the car


    with a wide grin on her face.


    Momentster, they arrived at the Merry Club, where E imed to have booked a private room for


    their enjoyment


    However, when she approached the reception to confirm her booking, she was informed that it had


    been voided.


    "We apologize, Miss.Someone has booked the entire club for today,"


    The staff gave her a polite smile.


    "We have finished processing your refund.Please check to see that everything is in order."


    "E, didn’t you say that you booked the room in advance?" a ssmate questioned as they waited in


    the corner like a bunch of lost refugees.


    Her sharp tone grated on E’s already fraying nerves.She tapped her long fingernails on the reception


    desk.


    "Don’t you have other private rooms? I can afford whichever is avable.Name your price."


    "I’m sorry, Miss.Like I said, the whole club is booked.There are no rooms avable."


    E gritted her teeth and nced at her ssmates.


    They had been looking forward to a good time in this posh and swanky establishment, and she had


    bragged that she would deliver.


    She refused to lose face in front of them.


    "But I booked the room in advance!" she insisted impatiently.


    Even so, the staff remained calm.


    "I understand, Miss, but you still cannot go inside.The club has been booked to amodate the


    Larson Group, and it was the CEO himself who made the arrangements.They will be having a business


    meeting here tonight."


    Minutes had passed, but the group was still loitering around the entrance.


    E was upset about the whole thing, but she knew there was nothing she could do.She certainly


    couldn’t afford to offend anyone from the Larson Group.She took a deep breath and mustered a smile.


    "Let’s just change venues, shall we? The staff told me that the whole club was booked by the Larson


    Group."


    They looked at each other in disappointment.


    There were very few people in Seacisco who would dare to go against the Larson Group, and none of


    them belonged to that demographic, Just as they were preparing to leave, several lengthened ck


    limos cruised into the club’s driveway


    The cars stopped in a single file next to the entrance, and each chauffeur alighted to open the door to


    the backseat Men in sleek business suits and hand-made Italian leather shoes emerged one by one,


    looking serious and dignified, E’s posse gawked at them, particrly at the man in the middle.


    He stood tall among his peers, with broad shoulders and sharp features.He posed an imposing figure,


    and his eyes were cold and distant.


    "Look, look! That man is gorgeous.Is he the CEO of the Larson Group?"


    J was trying to send Ethan a message, but she was jostled around by her ssmates in their


    hushed frenzy. When she heard mention of the CEO of the Larson Group, she instantly perked up and


    looked over curiously.


    She wasn’t sure why she did it, either.It was as though a voice at the back of her mind was nagging at


    her to look.


    And just like that, her eyes fell on a very familiar face just a few feet away.
