Chapter 26

Of course, Irene would not let Kinsey suffer because of her. She turned it over in her mind and decided that she had to clarify it with Edric since this happened because of her. But Edric never answered her phone again.

Out of options, she went to Edric's company yet was stopped by the front desk. "Miss, what can I do for you? Did you have an appointment?"

The woman who stopped Irene was not the receptionist she saw when she came here last time. Irene knew this woman. She was the receptionist of Edric's company in Oxton three years ago. She was surprised to see that she came to San Fetillo with Edric as well. Three years ago, this woman would always gently push the elevator button for her whenever she wanted to see Edric. Now, she talked to her as if she didn't know her at all.

Things had changed indeed. Irene remained composed and said, "I want to see your president."

"May I ask if you have an appointment? You can't see Mr. Myers if you don't have an appointment!"

Irene ignored her and pushed her away and went straight to the elevator. The woman winked at the security guard. Two guards came up and stopped Irene as though she was some formidable enemy.

Irene turned around and walked to the sofa in the lobby. She would wait here in the lobby. Edric would come down sooner or later.

Irene waited till later afternoon yet still didn't see Edric. The receptionist was packing up her things and was ready to get off work. Seeing that Irene was still sitting there, she felt bad for her. "The president has left through the underground parking garage a long time ago!" Irene was so angry that she almost cursed out. Maybe because the receptionist took pity on her, she added, "The president will go to meet some friends at After Dark tonight."

She revealed Edric's schedule to Irene. Irene didn't care how a trivial receptionist got to know about Edric's schedule. She thanked her and went out of the building.

Seeing Irene leaving, the security guard came to the receptionist and asked her nicely, "Amelia, you're a manager. What are you doing here today? Why did you come to the front desk and stop that woman?"

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!" The woman answered in an annoyed voice. When she saw Irene, she finally understood why Mr. Myers wanted her at the front desk today. Except for her and John, no one else here in the Myers Group knew Irene.

"But what does Mr. Myers mean? Why does he want me to stop her from meeting him and ask me to tell her his whereabouts in the meantime?"

Irene left the Myers Group and went straight to After Dark by taxi. She asked around and rushed to the second floor where Edric's private room was. She pushed the door open and saw the erotic scene inside.

Several men were sitting in the room, each of them accompanied by beautiful women. She saw Edric sitting in the innermost position with a pretty woman next to him on each side. One of them leaned against him and was whispering something to him. The gentle smile on Edric's face made Irene's eyes hurt.

This was how men fooled around. She didn't know anything about this three years ago and thought he was busy at work the whole time. That was why she was deceived by him so badly.

Irene sneered and raised her voice, "Edric!"

Startled by her voice, everyone in the room turned their eyes on her. Edric raised his eyebrows and showed an impatient look. He didn't move at all.

By his side, a man who was hugging a girl teased, "Mr. Myers, it's not enough for you to have a pretty woman on each side. Another one even came to chase after you. You're making us jealous!" Edric smiled faintly. "Why would I have such a bad taste?"

"Go take a look since she came here already!" Another man laughed.
