......
After a short period of peace, life returned to normal.
With the previous experience, this time, Carolien did not bother waiting for Elijah to hit her up. She knew that his words were different from her understanding. She might have to wait for a week, a month, or longer. Either way, she knew he didn't mean that day itself.
Considering their fiery passion, Carolien was relatively calm. Although she didn't like the way they were doing things and she didn't agree with it, she knew that this was the fastest way to get closer between two strangers. In just two days and three nights, she had no choice. Regardless, she could not deny that it wasn't a bad experience. Just as she said, she didn't feel any regret about having a fling with a man as good as Elijah. One day, these could all turn into beautiful memories.
The days were more smooth-sailing. Every day, Carolien had more time to deal with her own matters. As expected, in the following week, Elijah completely dropped off the grid. There was no news from him.
On this day, she went out for a walk and bought some clothes and toys for Alistair. When she came back, she went to pick him out. She also took Alistair out to eat some fried chicken and play for a while before heading over to the nightclub.
When she entered, Carolien saw a few beautiful women who were dressed in fancy clothes dashing into the hall, laughing and whizzing by. They passed by her side and stopped in their tracks. When she looked around, she realized that the atmosphere in the hall did not seem right. The seats were full, mostly of beautiful women.
"Louis Vuitton bags? Chanel necklaces?"
"A Prada dress?"
Those were all branded items.
What happened? Since when did her nightclub become a clubhouse for social elitists?
The scene around her looked like a beauty pageant.
It was rather shocking for her.
Like a crab, she moved horizontally to the bar counter. Carolien's gaze could not be withdrawn from the hall for a long time. His fingertips unconsciously tapped down until a familiar male voice came.
"Hi Boss. What are you having tonight? A margherita?"
Carolien shook her head and looked away. "Tony, what's going on?"
Why were there so many women all of a sudden? All of them were dressed up and smiling like flowers. It seemed that they were going to have a meeting!
"Haha."
The bartender was obviously amused and laughed loudly. Before he could explain, a customer came over to ask for a drink. Thus, he left for work, leaving Carolien in a daze and confused.
At this time, two young girls beside the bar ran over one after the other. The girl in a white striped tight-fitting dress grabbed a high-legged chair and hurriedly summoned her companions.
"Minnie, here!"
After a while, another girl wearing a blue strapless dress came. It seemed that she was not used to wearing high heels and waddled over like a penguin.
"Have a seat first. We'll order a glass to share... the cheapest one please!"
"Hey, are you sure we can do this? Will he even come today? Maybe his assistant might come in his place. I heard he's the King of Night. He has power and status, and he's attractive. I'll bet he only shows up at esteemed events. Unless we're celebrities, we won't have a shot."
