Charlie stared at the neon sign that read Night Colorsss and laughed out loud, "Who told you I took you here to find prostitutes?"
Nancy was embarassed and pouted, "Isn't it? Look at this decoration and this flashy neon sign that gives off suggestive vibes. It would be strange if it isn't."
Hearing that, Charlie realized she had never been to a night club or hung out at night before.
It appeared that his little wife was still quite pure.
"You’re right!"
Charlie chuckled and grabbed her petite hand, "Let's go get you a man."
"What?"
Nancy was startled and turned to run away, but her hand was tightly gripped by Charlie. It was impossible for her to run away.
Overwhelmed with embarrassment and annoyance, she remembered Vivian had once mentioned that Charlie didn’t like women. This thought spurred some peculiar imagery in her head.
Could it be...Charlie really didn't like women?
He could enjoy it himself. But why did he drag her along with him ? It was crazy!
Charlie turned and saw her resistant expression, her whole face spelling “I won't go.” Raising his brow in amusement, he teased, “What, are you afraid?”
"I..."
To hell with it, if Charlie could come here and have fun, what was she afraid of?
Just to have fun with a gorgeous man!
At worst, she could watch Charlie have fun.
Nancy didn’t know what to say.
She misunderstood it just then. But why did he have to keep bringing it up?
He was so mean!
After the bar area, they walked along a long corridor. At the end was a tall, handsome man.
Upon seeing them, the man walked over and greeted them, "Oh, hi, you’re finally here, Young Master Firth!"
He was about to give Charlie a big hug. But upon seeing Nancy, he stopped, "Ah! Vivian, nice to see you too. Young Master Firth, I know you can't be without your wife for a moment now."
Nancy stared at the man for a while. He looked familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before. After thinking about it, she finally remembered where she had seen him and was about to say Hi. But Charlie interrupted.
"See? I didn't lie. He's the man I prepared for you."
