Translator: 549690339
In the VIP private room at the Elite Club.
Almost all the prominent figures in Linton City were gathered at this dinner, yet the atmosphere was not lively.
In the spacious private room, the atmosphere was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
Even the waiters serving the dishes acted cautiously, as if afraid to offend the man sitting at the head of the table.
The man was clad in a brown military uniform, his broad shoulders and slim waist accentuated by an array of gold buttons with dark patterns, exuding an air of nobility. At the moment, his head was lowered as he looked at his phone. The incredibly handsome face looked austere, as he constantly emitted a Siberia-like cold air around him.
Enna Clark dared not answer his phone call!
Baron Lawrence’s right hand tapped the table as he occasionally took out his phone to check it. As the food was being served, there was still no incoming message on his phone. His brow furrowed, he picked up his phone, almost wanting to smash it into smithereens. However, upon lifting it up, he stopped himself. He slowly withdrew his hand, tensed his jaw, and sent a text message to the only contact in his phone. ‘Did you go back home?’
15 minutes had passed, and there was still no response on his phone. He abruptly stood up, his hawk-like eyes full of maliciousness, “Where’s the manager? Get him over here!”
Upon receiving the message, the club manager quickly came over in a hurried pace. Wiping the sweat off his forehead, he cautiously asked, “Lord, do you have any orders?”
“What’s going on? There’s no signal at all! ”
No signal? Royal Luxury Club was equipped with the world’s most advanced signal equipment, and the VIP private room had the best signal reception. How could there be no signal?
Only then did the manager notice the phone in Baron’s hand, and after checking his own phone, he said in confusion, “The signal is full strength, though.”
“Impossible!” Baron Lawrence flatly denied, his eyes full of fury. “If the signal is full strength, why can’t I receive any messages! There must be a problem with the signal!”
How could that woman possibly not reply to him!
He stubbornly believed that the poor signal was the reason he hadn’t received the text message. The manager had no choice but to re-check the signal, even going so far as to ask others if their phones were working. The answer came back: ‘It’s working, the signal is full strength.’ He returned to the VIP private room, wiping the sweat that had sprung from his forehead, and told Baron Lawrence, “Lord, the signal is full strength, you see…”
“It’s fine, get out!” The mood was explosive!
The manager glanced at him and obliged, closing the door to the VIP private room as he wished.
Seeing that the dinner atmosphere was on the verge of freezing, Mayor Smith of Linton City gritted his teeth and stood up, offering a forced smile. “Why, does Young Master Baron have urgent matters to attend to with his phone? If you want, you can use mine.”
Baron Lawrence sat back down with a cold face, “No need.”
Adam Sinclair, who happened to be at the dinner, looked at his friend’s ashen face and knew it must have something to do with Enna Clark.
It seemed like Enna Clark had not replied to his message.
Hadn’t they just moved in together yesterday? Were they already having conflicts today?
His fox-like eyes seemed to have found something amusing, gracefully lifting his glass of red wine and laughing. A shallow dimple appeared on his left cheek as he tried to smooth the situation over, “I heard Mayor Smith scored excellently in the recent performance evaluation. Here, I toast to the Mayor.”
Mayor Smith breathed a sigh of relief, took the opportunity to step back, and began to reinvigorate the atmosphere around the dinner table. He was witty and humorous in his speech, and his status also commanded respect. Everyone was willing to give face, and in a few exchanges, the atmosphere in the private room became lively again….
