Whispers Turn to Whimpers: Could He Ever Change?

Chapter 60

"Mr. Gilbert Colin was in a frenzy. The dressing room is full of ladies. You can't just barge in there. It wouldn't be propert

His words halted Gilbert in his tracks.

Indeed, if he barged in like that, what if he saw something he shouldn't?

He turned around, his gaze dropping to meet Colin's. "Seems like you're unwilling to hand her over, are you?"

"Heh." A grin spread across Colin's face. "This is how we make our living, sir. If you'd be so kind as to come and watch her perform, I'll reserve a spot just for you. The young lady would be ever so grateful." Hmph. Gilbert scoffed, seeing right through Colin's slick ways, like trying to grasp a slippery eel. Undoubtedly, he wouldn't cause a scene over a dancer.

"Want me to come watch?" A cold smile danced in Gilbert's eyes. "Well, that'll depend... on whether she's got the talent."

After that, he strode out.

"Mr. Gilbert, take care! Do come again!" Colin bowed deeply, escorting him out.

Gilbert's visit was mainly out of concern for unexpected complications. Thankfully, the night passed without incident.

He had an important meeting in the morning and needed to prepare. After grabbing the clothes Charles had brought over,
