Harper smiled coquettishly. “It has nothing to do with you.” Nothing to do with him?
Preston had always been a gentleman towards women but at that instant, his face darkened as he spoke. “Harper Duke, are you sure you want to provoke me?”
Harper felt that he was reversing right and wrong, and her face also darkened. “Please get it straight. You’re the one who came to provoke me with another woman.”
“That’s because you rejected me without thinking the other day!
The indignation in Harper’s eyes turned into confusion in no time.
Preston had had many women before, but he had never been serious with any of them. He would never lower his status to try to reconcile after breaking up with them. But that night, he hugged her like a pup and nuzzled her neck.
“I miss you a little. Please don’t leave me, okay?” She thought he was just talking nonsense due to the alcohol in him, but she never expected him to be serious.
Harper was surprised for a moment, but then regained her composure…
Regardless of whether he was serious or not, his behavior in the past three days was unforgivable! She didn’t respond to Preston’s words and forcefully broke free from his grip before turning and leaving.
Preston stared at her carefree figure and he didn’t know what was wrong with him right then. He felt anxious.
After Harper left, she followed the manager and quickly walked up to the luxurious private room upstairs.
“How long has Mr. Brook been here?” He just arrived.”
Harper walked into the elevator and pressed the button. She told the manager, “Mr. Jenkin, I mentioned that Mr. Brook is my wolf just now, could you please ask everyone to keep their mouths shut and not spread any rumors. We can’t afford to offend Mr. Brook.”
Mr. Jenkin nodded quickly and responded respectfully, “Don’t worry, Ms. Duke. I’ll handle it.” After responding, he secretly took a glance at Harper.
Seeing that her hair and clothes were wet, he gathered his courage and took out a handkerchief from his pocket, handing it Mr. Brook…”
Without much thought, Harper thanked him and stepped out of the elevator. Mr. Brook had been here before and he was
someone who valued punctuality very much, so Harper didn’t bother changing her clothes. When she got out of the elevator, she quickly went to the private room.
Inside, there were several bodyguards in black uniforms surrounding the spa cious and luxurious private room. When Harper pushed the door open, it looked quite scary.
She had experienced Alpha’s grand entrance before, so such a situation did not surprise her. However, she was still a little
nervous. After all, ordinary people like her would always have an inherent sense of fear towards those of the upper cla*s…
Harper gestured for Mr. Jenkin to leave and while clenching her fists, she walked past the bodyguards towards the man in a suit and leather shoes sitting on the sofa.
“Mr. Brook, there was a delay downstairs, and I apologize for keeping you waiting. Please forgive me.” Harper stood in front of him, being extremely polite and explaining before looking up at him.
The man was sitting on the sofa casually. Under the light, his handsome face was revealed. Under his thick and well-trimmed eyebrows were a pair of eyes as black as the night, brimming with
His nose was sharp and tail and his lipa wars thin, fitting perfectly into that flewice face. He had an extraordinary temperament, but also exuded an atrocious intent, seemingly dissatisfied with every person and every place in this a sinister aura, like a hawk in the dark, emitting a sense of hostility.
His nose was sharp and tall and his lips were thin, fitting perfectly into that flawless face. He had an extraordinary temperament, but also exuded an atrocious intent, seemingly dissatisfied with every person and every place in this world.
Harper looked at the man in front of her who emitted a violent and aggressive aura, and felt immense pressure. This reminded her of the first time she met Alpha.
They were exactly the same in terms of the overwhelming presence and oppressive feeling.
However, the two gave off different vibes. Alpha was noble and restrained, emitting a chilling aura, while Johnny was… fierce.
Right then, seeing that Mr. Brook had not responded, Harper didn’t even dare to speak again nor take a breath… She could still recall the time when Johnny booked the entire venue vividly where he had smashed a gla*s just because the waiter spilled the drink.
She could tell that he was someone difficult to get along with so she quickly asked the waiter to step back and went up to serve him personally. Perhaps it was because her service was good that Johnny revisited and specifically requested for her to serve him.
Harper thought that Johnny would ask her to pour the wine, but instead, he looked up with his dark eyes and stared at her intently.
The wild and arrogant gaze made Harper, who was usually calm, couldn’t help but swallow her saliva.
“Mr. Brook, this is a legitimate entertainment venue. Besides beverage service, we don’t offer anything else!” If it was another customer, this sentence would have been spoken directly. But Johnny was not someone she could afford to provoke.
As Harper muttered to herself, Mr. Brook withdrew his gaze and spoke in a deep, magnetic voice, “Do you know Rosalie Carmine?”
The low and magnetic voice traveled to her ears slowly, it was extremely pleasing to the ear.
When Harper heard the name, her heart calmed down a little. Johnny couldn’t possibly be interested in someone like her but a woman like Taya. But wait, Griffon was the one who had an interest in Taya, so Johnny shouldn’t be interfering at this time…
Keeping her composure, Harper looked at Johnny and asked, “Do you know her? Is there something you need from her?” Johnny raised his eyebrows in annoyance at Harper’s questioning and demanded, “Where is she?”
From the way he spoke, Harper sensed that he wasn’t fond of Taya and might be looking for trouble.
Harper was always cautious when it came to Taya, so she didn’t hesitate to challenge Mr. Brook, regardless of his status or power.
If you want to see my friend, you’ll need to tell me the reason first. Otherwise, I have no obligation to tell you anything.”
The bodyguards, surprised that a nightclub owner would dare to speak to Johnny in such a way, began to reach for the back of their waists.
Seeing their synchronized movement, Harper’s heart sk ipped a beat, but she kept a calm expression as she stared directly at Johnny.
After a brief standoff, the seated Johnny waved his hand, and the bodyguards withdrew to the side, watching Harper with a cold and guarded expression. Harper used to think that Mr. Brook had a bad temper and had always been afraid of him, but right then, she could sense that he was extremely dangerous.
She wasn’t sure if Johnny was looking for Rosalie, who had already pa*sed away, or Taya, who was using Rosalie’s identity right then. Since outsiders didn’t know about Rosalie’s death or Taya’s true identity, Harper didn’t dare to make the first move.
She was afraid of alerting Mr. Brook, so she decided to remain silent and observe him.
Johnny struggled to control his impending outburst of anger and lifted his dark and icy gaze to stare at Harper.
“I need to talk to her about something.”
“What sort of thing?”
Johnny’s suppressed anger surged up at Harper’s persistent questioning and he warned,
“Ms. Duke, tell me where she is before I lose my temper. Else, don’t blame me for being mean to you!”
