"I saw Mister Sunny getting into a cab just as I arrived here with Joey. I couldn't stop him since I was busy with Joey then," answered Edmund.
At the thought of where Sunny might be going, Lucas irritatedly pinched the bridge of his nose. "Go ask two of our men to bring him back. It won't be good if he bothers her again," said Lucas.
Edmund nodded. "Yes, Mister Lucas. I'll do that right away."
…
Sunny arrived at Xante's place in a cab.
He went up to her unit and rang the doorbell for a long time, but the door remained closed. He called her and no one picked up either. He became even more livid when the image of Xante kissing and hugging the unknown man in front of the Newmoon Group building flashed across his mind.
Left with no choice, he decided to call Aaron.
"Hello, Mister Sunny. To what do I owe this pleasure?" asked Aaron when he picked up the phone. Judging by the thumping loud music, he must be in a nightclub.
"Why is it so noisy over at your side? And why isn't Xante back at home at this late hour yet?" said Sunny angrily.
"I knew you wouldn't call if you didn't want something," said Aaron with a coy smile. "So this is about Xante, huh?"
Sunny had used up all of his patience in trying to reach Xante, so he had none to spare for Aaron. "Cut the crap! And tell me where Xante is!"
Once he arrived, he stood near the entrance for a while. He was afraid he would be stopped by the bouncer since he was there alone.
'Wait a minute. Why should I be scared? I'm a grown-up too!' he finally told himself. He then swaggered toward the entrance, but unfortunately, he was stopped by the bouncer, who asked him about his age and his identification card.
Sunny was not happy about that at all. He stood almost two meters tall, which made him look more mature than his peers. Why did the bouncer stop him?!
This just served to highlight the age gap between him and Xante, spoiling his mood even further. To top it all off, he did not have his ID with him, so he could not possibly prove he was an adult!
Thus, he was left with no choice but to call Aaron for help.
