âIs it you who caused the trouble at the Health Department?â
âWhat are you talking about, I canât understand a word youâre saying?â
Lena Holmesâs laughter was filled with triumph, âDonât try to weasel information out of me, just say whether you agree or not. If you donât, we can play this game slowly.
Iâve got all the time in the world.â
âFirst, I will never cooperate with a thuggish company like yours. Second, I donât have time to play with you, youâre not worth it.
So, whatever tricks you have, just bring them on, Iâm ready for you.â
Greg Jensen was truly getting angry this time. Lena Holmesâs attitude was one thing, but the actions of the Sanjiang Company were anotherâhow were they any different from those of bullies forcing their way?
Bow down to them?
Dream on!
Seeing his agitated expression, Spencer Burley asked, âWho was that on the phone?â
âThe same woman.â
âGod damn it, sheâs asking for it, isnât she?â
Greg Jensen shook his head and said, âLetâs not worry about it for now, dealing with Dreamscape Garden is more important. We donât need extra trouble at the moment.â
Spencer Burley still looked worried, but seeing Greg Jensenâs composed demeanor, he didnât inquire further.
Greg knew what he was thinking and patted his shoulder, smiling, âDonât worry. If Director Wang goes to the hospital right now, I reckon the ban will be lifted by tomorrow morning.
Even if he goes tomorrow, it should definitely be lifted by the afternoon.â
Spencer Burley exclaimed in surprise, âAre you that confident that Director Wang will help out after heâs been to the hospital?â
âOf course, if I didnât have at least that much confidence, how could I let you call me âBrother Gregâ?â
âHaha, thatâs true.â
The two stood for a while before returning to the clubhouse together. They had some tea, and after Spencer began to feel a headache, checked into the clubhouse to rest.
Greg Jensen had drunk quite a bit as well, but he didnât use his True Qi to completely neutralize the alcohol. Instead, he neutralized part of it, allowing himself to remain slightly tipsy.
Upon leaving the clubhouse, he called a designated driver to take him back to his home in Wanhe Gardens.
Once inside his house, he smelled the scent of alcohol.
âWell, looks like someoneâs been drinking after I left.â
Greg Jensen looked at the beer bottles on the coffee table and couldnât help but chuckle bitterly. After setting down his bag, he started to tidy up.
After cleaning up, he stripped off his clothes right at the entrance of the storeroom and threw them directly into the washing machine, wearing only his shorts as he headed to the bedroom.
Just then, the door to the secondary bedroom suddenly opened and a graceful figure staggered out, then plunged directly into Greg Jensenâs arms.
Both were dressed quite lightly, and as they embraced, they could clearly feel the contours of each otherâs bodies.
Greg Jensen, holding the delicate girl, was momentarily at a loss.
âUm, are you⦠Vinceâs man?â
The girl looked up at him, her breath reeking faintly of alcohol.
Gregâs heart skipped a beat, and he swallowed before gently letting her go, nodding, âYeah, and you areâ¦?â
âIâm his best friend, Ryan Lampe, call me Ryan.â
Ryan Lampe staggered a bit, then stood up straight, seemingly much soberer.
She ran her hand over Gregâs abs and laughed teasingly, âWow, no wonder youâre so impressive, youâre really strong.â
âUh, haha.â
Greg felt awkward and laughed, âIâm going to head to my roomâ¦â
âDo you find me annoying?â
âNot at all.â
âThen why the rush to leave?â
âHaha, Iâve also had quite a few drinks and feel a bit dizzy, so Iâm off to sleep.â
Ryan Lampe watched Greg, his face slightly flushed, giggled happily, and winked, âKeep it down tonight, okay?â
âUhâ¦â
Greg, seeing her attire of shorts and a tank top, felt that if he stayed any longer, he might do something regrettable, so he quickly retreated to the master bedroom.
Inside the master bedroom, Vince Cooper was fast asleep. He grunted twice at the sound of the door opening.
It wasnât until Greg Jensen had finished washing up and gone to bed that she groggily opened her eyes.
âMr. Jensen, youâre back?â
âMhm.â
Greg lay down next to him, and Vince Cooper consciously crawled into his arms.
âDid you drink a lot tonight?â
âYeah, it was Ryan Lampeâs birthday. We had three rounds of drinks, one at the restaurant, one at the KTV, and then since it was late, Ryan and Angela Stuart couldnât go back to their dorm, so they had to stay here.â
Remembering something, Vince said somewhat embarrassingly, âUm, the third round was in the living room at home. I think I forgot to clean up.â
Greg lightly pinched her nose as he spoke wordlessly, âIâve already cleaned it up. Letâs go to sleep now.â
âThank you.â
Vince showed a blissful smile, and then with a mischievous one, asked, âGoing to bed this early? Arenât we doing âthatâ today?â
âAre you up for it?â
âI should⦠probably be okay?â
âHaha, well then, letâs do it.â
The lights went off, the roomâs temperature gradually rose, and murmurs like whispers in a dream filled the air.
In the second bedroom, Angela Stuart was browsing through videos when all of a sudden, she blushed hearing the noises coming from the next room.
At that moment, Ryan Lampe entered with excitement, whispering, âHey, Vinceâs man is back.â
With a red face, Angela said, âIâm not deaf, I heard it.â
âHehe, I saw his abs.â
âFor real?â
Angela perked up, a bit excited, âDid you touch them?â
Ryan raised his right hand, examined it closely before making a fuss, âIâve decided, Iâm not washing this hand for a week.â
âWow, you really touched them? You pervert!â
âHmph, as if youâre any different. If it were you, youâd probably want to touch other places too.â
âThink Iâm like you?â
Angela looked scornful, seemingly indifferent, yet couldnât help asking, âHow did it feel?â
âIncredible!â
âNo wonder heâs so amazing.â
With a smirk, Ryan asked, âWhich aspect of âamazingâ are you referring to?â
âFighting, what else?â
âAll aspects.â
âYou LSP.â
Laughter and teasing from the two girls rang out in the second bedroom, but the whisper-like sounds steadfastly carried through.
After an unknown period of intense weariness, the two girls lay side by side against the headboard, despondently staring at the white wall connecting to the next room.
âWhy arenât they sleeping yet?â
âSeems like being too amazing isnât always good.â
âLetâs sleep, weâll probably fall asleep after a while.â
Ryan, resigned, nodded, and they turned off the lights and lay in bed trying to sleep.
The whispering stopped at some indistinct time, and Angela eventually drifted into slumber, but Ryan suddenly felt energized.
She listened carefully, noting that the noise from next door had indeed stopped, and her mind involuntarily conjured up images from just before.
A while later, she suddenly felt her body heating up. She glanced at the soundly sleeping Angela, got up barefooted, and left the bed.
Grabbing a few disposable face towels, she sat down on the sofa in the living room.
In the tranquility of the air, heavy breathing could be heard.
Time passed, and then a tall, well-proportioned figure suddenly emerged. Upon seeing Ryan, he paused, a clear surprise on his face.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
In the darkness, their eyes met, sizing each other up without a word.
After a stalemate, they moved towards each other.
