"Just use mine." Both men said at the same time, once again clashing over who should pay the bill.
Sighing exasperatedly, Charlotte found herself unable to mediate.
Both Justin Battleson and Adam Ross were wealthy enough to afford anything - they never let a woman pay when they went out.
Especially Justin, who behaved as if he would continue causing a racket if his card wasn’t accepted.
Frustrated, Charlotte relinquished her card to the two men who squabbled over payment. After all, it wasn’t much.
What surprised her was, the moment she let go of her card, Adam withdrew his too, leaving only Justin’s card before the cashier.
Adam laughed innocently, seeming excited to see Justin bested for once. After all, Justin had plenty of money; it wouldn’t hurt if he spent some.
Only a person as exquisite as Charlotte could catch Justin’s attention - all other women were mere cabbages in his eyes.
Over the years, so many people had tried their luck and thrown themselves at him in bed, only to be ruthlessly tossed aside.
After multiple failed attempts at seducing Justin, those people eventually quieted down.
"Okay." The server’s forehead glistened with sweat, relieved he hadn’t been forced to choose between them.
Feeling the pressure, the server took Justin’s card with a trembling hand and processed the payment quickly, before directing them to a booth.
The trio took the best spot right in the middle of the dancefloor, their stunning appearances attracting a lot of attention.
The atmosphere at the table was almost palpable as everyone sipped their drinks in silence.
"Getting together must be fate. Let me toast to you both," Charlotte broke the silence, attempting to lighten the atmosphere.
After duly draining his glass, Justin remained silent and morose.
On the other hand, Adam was grinning knowingly, his gaze sliding between the two.
Feeling uncomfortable with their antics, Charlotte stopped talking and drank in silence.
She had just wanted to drown her sorrows, but this situation seemed even more distressing.
She had hoped to prying some information about the twin brothers from Adam, but Justin intervened.
The trio was attractive enough on their own, and even more so together, although the atmosphere was a bit odd.
Unlike the merrymaking at other tables, there was a grim silence around theirs, making them stick out in the bustling club.
"Those two guys are hot, should we get their WeChat?" A girl from the neighboring booth nudged her friend.
Her eyes kept drifting towards them, confirming if they were indeed the dreamy guys they seemed to be.
"I’m not so sure, there’s a girl at their table. What if they’re taken?" Her friend hesitated, while her gaze remained fixed on Adam.
Adam had those delicate features that perfectly hooked people - smooth distinct facial contours, intelligent eyes, and a constant intriguing smile.
In terms of looks, both men were equally appealing. But the girls generally preferred Adam’s style over the cold, distant Justin.
"So what if there’s a girl? She can’t have them both. And how will we know if we don’t try?"
The girl persisted, her eyes sparkling with pink bubbles of excitement. High-quality men like these were a rare find.
Eventually, her friend gave in to temptation, and they giggled their way towards the VIP booth.
"Isn’t that girl Charlotte Thompson?" A remark from the other side drifted towards them.
Exchanging puzzled looks, they recognized the name. But could this be the Charlotte Thompson they were thinking of?
Silently returning back to their booth, they pulled out their phones to search for Charlotte’s pictures to confirm.
"It really is her..." One girl showed her friend the picture, her eyes trailing regretfully over the two handsome men. Her heart shattered into pieces.
After that bit of gossip spread, the atmosphere in the club became peculiar. Many people secretly began taking pictures as evidence.
In no time, the photos of Charlotte partying with two high-quality men appeared, making waves across social media.
"Is Charlotte Thompson two-timing? If I’m not mistaken, those guys are Justin Battleson and Adam Ross."
Netizens were left baffled. It was understandable that Charlotte Thompson might be involved with Justin Battleson from Vanguard Jewelry, but why was Adam Ross in the picture too?
