Chapter 153
At this time, in Nicolas’s office, Liam was sitting on the couch drinking coffee. While Nicolas, who had lost a few games, looked resentfully at the calm man across from him, “You don’t want to go home after work, or the club that I invited you to. You say you’re busy. Is your business just sitting here drinking coffee for an hour?”
Liam glanced at him indifferently, “Don’t you have nothing better to do? Just keep playing your games.”
Nicolas…
He squinted his eyes and tried to probe, “Are you still fighting with Celeste?”
Liam paused his movements, his expression unchanged. “No.”
As soon as he denied it, Nicolas was sure, “It’s been several days, isn’t it a bit too much? If you’re unhappy, go home and talk to your wife about it. Why are you venting your anger on your friends? You have a wife, but I’m still single. Shouldn’t I go out and look for my true love too?”
Liam glared at him, “Find true love in a club?”
“What’s wrong with that? There are good girls in clubs too. Weren’t you and Celeste meeting at a club when you first met?” Nicolas said.
Liam frowned, “Who told you we first met at a club?”
Nicolas was taken aback. “If it wasn’t at a club, where else could it be?”
He remembered it clearly. Five years ago, they celebrated Liam’s birthday and forced him to go to a masquerade party in a club.
Upstairs were people playing board games, and two girls went in by mistake. They were harassed by a few drunk guys. One guy punched one of the girls for “not knowing better”. People from both sides argued fiercely, even to the point of calling the police.
At first, they didn’t want to get involved, but the guy was attending the party. If they called the police, Liam would have to go to the station and give a statement on his birthday. It would be pretty awkward.
They went out to try to settle the matter. When they were outside, they saw a young girl with a ponytail, taking pictures of the guys with her phone, yelling. “Try touching me again! I have you recorded now! Sexual harassment and physical conflicts, where’s the justice?”
She was bold but looked too young to be threatening, especially since she was so pretty, which stirred up the wicked thoughts of those guys who tried to touch her face.
Nicolas didn’t want to intervene, but Liam suddenly grabbed a glass and smashed it at the guy’s feet.
The loud noise made everyone shut up.
The drunken guys knew Liam was angry, so they didn’t dare to make a fuss. They apologized and paid some money, and the matter was finally settled.
Nicolas didn’t think much of it at the time. But after learning that Liam had married that same girl from the club, he couldn’t help but think that the way Liam looked at that girl was not simple.
He initially thought the club was their first time meeting each other, but he didn’t expect Liam to say it wasn’t their actual first meeting.
So, where was their actual first rendezvous?
Nicolas rubbed his chin, narrowed his eyes and said, “At the nightclub encounter, Celeste was only 19 years old. So, if it was even earlier than that, does that mean she wasn’t even legal yet when you first….?”
