Chapter 721 The Art of the Game

Annika, with the Night Club's manager, Jonny, in tow, approached Sadie. Upon laying eyes on Sadie, Jonny was visibly taken aback, uttering in disbelief, "Is it you?" "Do you know our Miss?" Annika queried, her brows furrowed in confusion.

"I..." Jonny stuttered, his gaze fixed on Sadie. He blinked repeatedly, as if trying to dispel an illusion. Two years ago, he had learned from Serena about an unfortunate incident involving Sadie and Brenda, and their subsequent disappearance. Jonny had refrained from prying further into the matter, but he had a vague understanding that the Clemens family, desiring only the children, had cast aside Sadie and Brenda.

For the past two years, Jonny had treaded lightly, careful not to upset Micah, who hadn't visited the Night Club either.. Thus, Jonny had managed to maintain his position at the club unscathed.

On this particular day, Micah's arrival had been uneventful. Annika had approached Jonny about the Black Gold Private Room, and he had planned to deflect her inquiry. However, Annika had revealed her identity, prompting Jonny to reconsider. He knew he could not afford to offend someone of her stature, so he promised to personally address the matter with the host.

Yet, he was utterly unprepared for the revelation that Miss James was, in fact, the Sadie he had known years ago. This left Jonny perplexed. Why was Sadie unaware of the private room's owner? Why had she sent someone to investigate? "What's wrong?" Annika asked, noting Jonny's bewildered expression.

"Nothing," Jonny quickly regained his composure. As a seasoned professional, he understood that if Sadie had chosen not to disclose her identity, it meant she wished to leave her past behind. He decided to respect her decision and feigned ignorance, greeting her formally, "Hello, Miss James!"

Sadie turned to look at Jonny, finding his face vaguely familiar, but she couldn't place him.
