Chapter 194 He knew I love her (1/2)
When Ethan Lu pressed the send button, the trivial tension enveloping in his heart slightly lightened as he vented his uneasiness to his dear friend: Elliot Gong.
Putting back the phone inside his suit pocket, Ethan Lu unhurriedly departed the car. His assistant, Lyrick Jiang was already waiting for him outside the vehicle with his ever composed demeanor.
”Young Master,”
Just like any typical nightclubs, it has laser and spotlights with flashy colors, several sports cars parked outside, and a crowd— male and females formed on a line to the main entrance.
”You can just wait here or have fun inside— I'll go alone.” Glancing at the booming establishment that was owned by Chris Yu, Ethan Lu muttered as he slid his hand inside his pocket before he strode to the other entrance for authorized personnel only.
Lyrick Jiang bowed his head as he translated his boss's words to 'this is a private and personal matter, don't interrupt us if not necessary'. Since he didn't send him away, Lyrick Jiang decided to wait inside the car as he would rather enjoy this peace and rest instead of listening to the blood-raising noises inside.

Since the guard outside the private entrance recognized Ethan Lu and he was told beforehand regarding an important meeting from his boss; Chris Yu, the guard let the man enter after a polite bow.
From then on, Ethan Lu was guided by the establishment's manager as they were expecting him. This treatment wasn't new to Ethan Lu as he had always been treated as a VVIP. However, with every step he seized, the distance from where Morris Liu was waiting decreased that made him a little more restless.
The heart-thumping music that pressured his heart to beat in sync slowly fades. Soon, they arrived at the most ironically silent area inside the club; Chris Yu's humble office.
The manager lightly knocked on the door, ”Sir, Young Master Lu had arrived.” He then turned to face Ethan Lu before he courtly smiled and bowed once again.
The manager didn't wait for the people inside his boss' office to give permission as he left Ethan Lu after he delivered his report.
Ethan Lu briefly glanced at the retreating figure of the establishment's manager as he simply shook his head, ”Chris has been training his employees to be creepy.” He murmured as he recalled that Chris Yu had an odd contagious habit to make people weird— just like him.
Shrugging his shoulders, Ethan Lu reached for the door handle and without exerting much effort, he opened the door and entered. The moment Ethan Lu got a clear view of the lavish and enormous Spanish interior design office slash home of his friend— there, Morris Liu together with Chris Yu had a solemn expression plastered across their face.
As Ethan Lu took a step forward and closed the door, he immediately sensed the dreaded atmosphere shrouding every corner of the grandiose room which made him furrowed his brows.
”Err, what's up?” Breaking the stifling silence, both men finally turned their attention to Ethan Lu's direction without any enthusiasm.
Chris Yu only tilted his head, directing to the couch across him, gesturing him to take a seat. On the other hand, Morris Liu who sat on the head seat, with his ever stoic expression, he fixed his cold and domineering gaze to him which baffled Ethan Lu even more.
”Did you two kill someone? Because that would make me think with your expression.” Awkwardly breaking the ice, Ethan Lu humored as he strode towards the long couch— across Chris Yu and on Morris Liu's left side.
When he finally perched at the seat, Ethan Lu's grin froze upon hearing Morris Liu's cold-blooded response.
”I did.” Morris Liu gave him a side glance and witnessed how Ethan Lu turned his surprised countenance to him. He clenched his jaw as his hand slightly trembled as if he was reminded about something unpleasant.
