“Mr. Clark, Callie is having a party at Fish Dragon Villa tomorrow, and it looks like she’s also invited Madeline. Will you be going?” Katrina confirmed once again.
Flynn nodded. “I promised I would go, so I’ll definitely be there.”
“Well, I hope you have fun,” Katrina said politely with a hint of regret in her eyes. “I really wish I could have a drink with you, but unfortunately I can’t go.”
“If you really want to go, you can hand over the formula to the team and take a day off,” Flynn suggested.
“No thanks,” Katrina smiled and blushed slightly. “It wouldn’t look good if I took a day off on my first day of work. Plus, I want to learn as much as possible from you about completing the task.”
“Mr. Clark, will you often come to the research institute to check on us?” She lost her previous arrogance and looked at him with admiration like a neighbor girl.
Flynn didn’t notice Katrina’s change in behavior as he glanced at the foreign girl walking away with long legs that were almost one meter fifty long covered in black stockings walking like she was on a runway model show.
He unconsciously nodded his head before realizing what he had done seconds later and furrowed his brows before quickly leaving Energence Pharmaceuticals.
“What’s wrong with me lately? Why am I thinking about these things all the time?” Flynn shook his head vigorously muttering under his breath, “I thought that nothing could distract me anymore but women are truly deadly weapons.”
“Nope! Focus! Women will only slow down my gun-drawing speed!”
“Hmm… Scarlet has been acting strange today. She kept sending messages for two days straight but now there’s no news from her?”
“Could it be because of last night… Hmm? Why do these images keep popping up in my mind?”
“It must be those guys who always talk dirty jokes around me. They’ve twisted my pure heart! And yes! The hard drive from prison guard’s computer…”
Flynn shook his head while hailing for taxi back to the Plenilune Mountain.
The next morning Flynn woke up early since Callie had asked him twice already and Katrina had helped ask again too – he promised not to be late for their appointment.
After washing up, he went into Cruz’s closet where there were plenty of unused designer suits but none fit him well due Cruz’s muscular build. So, he opted for loose casual wear before heading out into garage.
Flynn’s Volkswagen Passat was smashed by Blaze, so he randomly picked a Koenigsegg and drove away from the Plenilune Mountain.
Fish Dragon Villa, a five-star leisure resort in Niarak, covered an area of 200 of acres and integrated entertainment, recuperation, catering and sports facilities.
The Pearce family booked the resort for one day to celebrate Callie’s recovery. As the Pearce family held real power in Niarak, many celebrities were invited to attend.
When Flynn arrived at the parking lot, various luxury cars and helicopters had already filled it up. However, when his Koenigsegg appeared on the scene, it still attracted many people’s attention.
As soon as Flynn walked into Fish Dragon Villa, he ran into Madeline and Scarlet. Both were wearing low-cut backless dresses – one was mature while the other was cute – each with their own style that made them stunningly beautiful together.
“Why are you here?” Madeline was surprised to see Flynn appear out of nowhere. She didn’t notify him or let Scarlet blabber about it because she still had lingering fears about what happened at Edwin’s banquet before.
Wherever Flynn went, there was always trouble brewing. She feared that this guy would cause another incident again this time around.
Scarlet wasn’t surprised but her face turned red upon seeing Flynn. Her eyes darted away from him shyly for a moment before adjusting herself back to normalcy. After taking a few seconds to adapt herself, she couldn’t help but glance at the wound on his lip which caused her lips to purse slightly as she smiled shyly.
“I came here for Callie’s party!” Flynn said somewhat confused by their reactions towards him being there.
Madeline understood immediately after seeing everyone else paired up around them, “It should be because the Pearce family knows our relationship well enough that they sent you an invitation.”
“Be honest with yourself,” Madeline warned him sternly. “Don’t mess things up again.”
“After all,” Madeline continued. “My family recently signed an endorsement deal with Asco Entertainment International while also accepting orders from Rhinowares Group.”
“These two events have caused quite a stir in Niarak. The Pearce family appreciates my abilities which is why they sent me an invitation.”
“I don’t want you causing any trouble here or tarnishing my family’s reputation.”
Scarlet almost laughed out loud after hearing what Madeline said.
In her eyes, Flynn could be considered as one of the most important guests attending this event yet in Madeline’s mind, he seemed like someone who just came along for free food!
Of course, Scarlet couldn’t reveal anything.
After all, she was currently at a disadvantage and would love for Madeline to throw away this dusty gemstone!
Flynn shrugged and didn’t say anything.
He just came to go through the motions, had breakfast and couldn’t be bothered to explain anything else.
Three people walked into the banquet hall.
Dozens of long tables were filled with a dazzling array of delicious food, and the breakfast was as sumptuous as a dinner party.
Hundreds of celebrities dressed in their finest attire, holding glasses and mingling with smiles on their faces.
Madeline didn’t miss the opportunity to mingle with the big shots and left Flynn behind to toast with influential people.
Scarlet didn’t move and stayed by Flynn’s side.
She used to not like socializing, and now she liked it even less.
Flynn appeared in casual attire, with his sun-kissed skin from being on Demon Island, standing out among the celebrities present and their luxurious outfits.
Just like a rural person entering the city, it stood out conspicuously.
Scarlet’s figure and appearance almost killed the entire audience.
The two of them standing together looked very strange and attracted many curious glances.
“Is your mouth okay?” Scarlet blinked her talking eyes and asked playfully.
Flynn said lightly, “It’s nothing.”
Scarlet nibbled on his face for half an hour – what a strange thing if there was nothing! Not only did his lips suffer cuts, but there were also marks on his neck, with fingernails digging into his flesh!
However, he wasn’t the one at a disadvantage. In the face of Scarlet’s madness, he launched a vigorous counterattack, rumpling her blouse in the process.
Scarlet noticed that Flynn was feeling a little down and chuckled, saying, “After all, I have no experience. Don’t be petty!”
She covered her mouth and chuckled, raised an eyebrow, and whispered, “Madeline didn’t ask you how you got this injury, did she?”
Flynn said lightly, “She only has eyes for Layla, why would she even glance at me?”
Scarlet thought for a moment and asked, “Isn’t it not good for you to continue like this?”
“Find a chance to take Madeline to Plenilune Mountain for a visit, or meet Orion!”
