Chapter 160


    I took a deep breath and replied, “Mr. Walker!”


    “So, you finally decided to take my call.” Eric’s voice sounded like he was grinding his teeth.


    “Mr. Walker, I’m afraid you’ve misunderstood me. My apologies; he didn’t want to miss his calls. My


    phone ran out of battery, sir.” I exined in a soft-spoken manner.


    “Did your phone run out of battery? What a convenient excuse.” He made it clear that he doesn’t


    believe


    my


    words.


    Still, I didn’t care if he believed me or not. “I’m sorry, Mr. Walker. How may I help you, sir?”


    “Can’t you speak straight?” He looked pretty pissed off.


    “I apologize, Mr. Walker. May I know what I did to upset you?”


    “Get rid of that disgustingly formal way of speaking!”


    “Of course, Mr. Walker. What do you want from me?” I changed the way I spoke and stopped calling


    him ‘sir’ in every other


    sentence.


    Still, Eric wasn’t satisfied and acted a little irrationally by retorting, “Can’t I call you for no reason?”


    What’s with his temper? I think someone else has upset him and he’s using me to vent his anger. The


    world is really going to shit. The longer I live, the further downhill I go. I can’t believe I became


    someone else’s punching bag. If only I didn’t need him in my schemes… Who does he think he is?


    Controlling my temper, I gripped the phone tightly without saying anything. So he asked me over the


    phone again, “Why aren’t you saying anything?”

    “I do not know what to say. I don’t want to say the wrong things.”


    “You sure know what to say to piss me off.” After that, Eric hung up angrily on me.


    I don’t know why he lost his temper, but I should be the one angry!


    Looking at the name ‘Rick’ on my phone screen I found it extremely irritating. So I changed his name


    from ‘Rick’ to Eycho Client.


    Isabe soon called me back and said that Dn was willing to meet me. So I was very happy. After


    work, I called Carson to let him know I was apanying Jessica on a blind date.


    When Carson heard the news, he was pretty unhappy about it. However, he didn’t say anything and


    simply told me to take care of my health, not eat junk food ande home early.


    Later, I apanied Jessica and we went clothes shopping, then we hurried to the Western restaurant


    Dn had booked. When we arrived, Dn was already there. When he saw Jessica and I arriving, he


    politely rose to greet us. So I gave you a simple introduction. After that, we sat in our respective seats


    and started ordering.


    It seemed that Jessica had a good impression on Dn. She actively chatted, bringing up various


    topics. On the other hand, Dn was smiling the entire time and seemed to like Jessica too. Seeing


    that they were getting along very well, I decided to make an excuse and run away after dinner.


    To my surprise, Dn suggested going to the First Royal Court after dinner. In addition, he invited


    Isabe and her husband, as well as several other friends. The First Royal Court was thergest, most


    luxurious and most expensive clubhouse in Riverdale. It was a haven for the rich, and a certain amount


    of prestige was needed just to join the club. I had no interest in ces like that. However, Jessica was


    different –   she really wanted to try it and refused to let me leave. Thus, I was dragged to the First Royal


    Court.


    Dn booked arge room at the club and invited many of his friends. Although Jessica wasn’t close to


    any of them,

    she was an adaptable woman. Soon, she met the people there and was dragged by one of Dn’s


    friends to sing along. Meanwhile, Isabe had gone to enjoy herself too. Since it was too awkward for


    Dn and me to sit together, I made an excuse to leave the room for some fresh air.


    I walked down the hall towards the porch to get some fresh air. Then, unexpectedly, I ran into Camille


    in the hall.
