Chapter 131


    He freshened up with a clean set of clothes and a shave, looking like a whole new man. In the car, he


    casually asked “Have you eaten yet? There’s a decent restaurant nearby. Let’s grab a bite there, and


    I’ll drop you home afterward


    Dr. Dn’s appearance tugged at Allison’s heartstrings. She felt powerless, unsure of how to help him


    The image of Dr Dn’s distraught parents and the news of a possiblewsuit against him had Allison


    biting her lip

    All day, she was distracted, and it wasn’t until she got to the Red Jack Club that night that Ashley and


    Payton noticed her unusual demeanor and asked, “What’s up?”


    Allison exined Dr Dn’s situation briefly. Ashley suggested, “Could someone be setting your


    boyfriend up? Think about it: he’s been working for years and has performed numerous major


    surgeries, how could he mess up big time? And the fact that the patient’s family went to court, I feel it’s


    more than just a surgical error”


    Paylon agreed, saying, “I think Ashley has a point.”


    Ashley, recalling her own experience of being falsely used of theft, heaved a sigh of resignation.


    “People like us have no way to fight back when we’re wrongly used”


    Allison fell silent.


    At that moment, the work allocation notice for the night came in.


    Allison was assigned to VIP room 309 along with Serena and a waitress named Molly.


    Per the rule, one of them should stay outside while the other goes in


    Molly, hoping to ck off, quickly said, “Allison, you go in.”


    Allison didn’t object. To her, it didn’t matter where she was.


    She entered the room and quickly scanned the three guests–two men and a woman, all young. She


    verified their drink orders


    As she was about to exit, there stood a figure in the doorway. Allison’s gaze firstnded on a pair of


    high–end men’s shoes


    She moved aside to let the guest in. The man walked in, handed his coat to her, and said in a deep


    voice. “Hang this for me.”


    Allison took it, her finger slightly trembling That voice sounded familiar.


    “Luca, we thought you weren’ting, a woman cooed.


    Lucian strolled in, unbuttoning the cuffs of his shirt, the gold cufflinks catching the light. With a faint


    smile on his face, he said, “It’s Kelvin’s birthday, I couldn’t miss it.”


    Kelvin, a richd sitting next to the socialite, thanked Lucian and asked, “Where is James Burke?”


    “Coming in.”


    As he said that, another man walked in the door. It was James.


    James walked in with a grin, took off his coat, and was about to hand it to the waitress when he


    noticed, “Allison!”


    The others were taken aback by a richd casually calling out a waitress’s name. One of the socialites


    asked, “James, do you know this waitress?”


    James replied, “Isn’t her name written on the tag on her chest?”


    Allison hung their coats on the rack. She intended to switch ces with Molly and have Molly stay


    inside. But after Molly returned from the wine cer, she imed she ha a stomachache. So Allison


    reluctantly went back into the room.


    Soon, everyone was present in the room–about seven or eight men and women.


    After the birthday celebration, some yed cards and some sang.


    “Luca, why didn’t you bring your wife?”


    Lucian lifted his eyes and calmly replied, “Next time.”
