Chapter 236 Find Her (Part One)
Chapter 236 Find Her (Part One)
It was a fresh and pleasant morning. One would say that nothing else was more comfortable than sleeping in then waking up late naturally.
''Ah!'1
In his apartment, Lucas lazily stretched under the sheets and scratched his head with his eyes closed. He stretched indulgently, turned over, and groaned on the bed. After a few minutes of morning stretches, he finally sat up.
Lucas struggled to open his eyes as he grabbed the small alarm clock at the bedside table. His eyes widened when he saw the time. "It's half past ten? Really?"
Sure enough, last night was so crazy.
Lucas quickly looked at the other side of the bed, only to find no one. He even lifted the quilt to make sure he was alone. 'Where is the damned woman?' he wondered.
"Jazlyn Xu?" Lucas called out in the apartment as he got himself a bath towel to cover himself. As he was about to get out of bed to look for Jazlyn, he found a piece of paper drifting across a pillow.
Following the note, he saw a stack of green bills sticking out under the pillow.
Puzzled, Lucas picked up the note. When he read it, his beautiful morning was ruined and he fumed with anger.
"Excellent service, full of patience, gentle and experienced. Sure enough, prostitute is your part-time job. Two thousand dollars is under the pillow. I'm satisfied with your service. See you around."
"Fuck you!" Lucas roared and tore the note madly into pieces. "Jazlyn, you are such an evil woman! You bastard!"
With anger flashing in his eyes, Lucas hit the pillow several times and the wad of cash fell down the floor. The mere sight of the money brought him anger and frustration. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
Such an insult! Pure insult! 'How dare you do this to me?!'
He, Lucas, had lost to that woman for three times! He swore to himself that he would do everything he could to take revenge!
Thinking of this, Lucas hurriedly put on his clothes and went out to seek help.
At AJ Building.
William sat in his office alone, immersed in the documents that he had accumulated for the past two weeks. Suddenly, a loud voice came from outside. "William! William!"
Lucas shouted his name as he rushed into William's office.
"Mr. Murong, our CEO is at work now. He cannot be disturbed." Unable to stop him, Virgil followed him to his office while looking embarrassed and helpless. "Boss."
"Alright." William raised his head and waved his hand at Virgil. "You can leave now."
"Okay."
Lucas sat down on the sofa and mumbled angrily, "I'm so angry. I'm so angry! I can't calm down."
With a faint smile on the corner of William's face, he signed his name on a document with a fountain pen. Without raising his head, he asked casually, "Who offended you again?"
"Jazlyn Xu! Jazlyn Xu, that wrecked woman!" Lucas thumped on the sofa with obvious resentment.
"Oh?" Hearing that, William finally raised his head and smiled slyly, "A woman? Tell me what happened."
"You can't imagine." Lucas suddenly stood up from the couch, and walked to William's side. He then leaned against the desk, and began to cry out his tragic experience. "It's never good to meet her! The first time I met her, it was at your dinner party. She splashed a drink all over my body!
On the second time, she directly threw me to the ground.
Last night was the third time. I just had an operation, and then..."
After more than ten minutes, Lucas finished his storytelling. He grabbed the cup of coffee on the table, and gulped it down. "Do you think she is insane? Do you think I look like a pimp? Huh? Do I? A pimp! Damn it! She even paid me cash! My lifetime reputation is ruined!"
"Ha ha!"
William burst into laughter loudly. "You... It must be fate! Three times... Don't you think it's fate that brought you together?"
"Fate? Humph!" Lucas snorted and said, "Enemies are bound to meet! We are enemies!"
"Then why did you come to me today?" William asked while raising his brows. "Did you just come here to tell me that you lost your virginity last night?"
"Bullshit! It's she who lost her virginity!" Lucas thumped the table, and his eyes became a little strange. "I was doing my duty as a doctor last night to detoxify her! I was — "
"Why are you being so obscene? So nasty! Detoxify? Do you think that you were just being a hero?" William stared at him with amusement and added, "Besides, since you helped her, what's wrong with her giving you money as a payment?"
"But she... she said I was a prostitute! It was me... I had sex with her, and she paid for it!"
"Ha ha!" William laughed so hard he almost burst into tears.
"Stop laughing! William, how dare you not help me?!" Lucas complained angrily.
"Yes, I'll help you." William tried his best to stop laughing. After a while, he asked, "What do you want me to do?"
"I..." Lucas leaned over and said, "Help me find out Jazlyn Xu's background. She was injured and some people were chasing after her. She's not just a normal woman! Maybe she is an undercover agent."
"Dr. Murong is really a kind-hearted and caring person indeed, but what if she is really an undercover agent?" William smiled and continued, "Dr. Murong, are you going to get rid of her despite your intimate relationship?"
"Intimate relationship my butt!" Lucas shouted. "I just want to figure out what she is doing. As a man, I have to do something to get my revenge! If she were a spy, I would be the first one to report her!" "Okay fine! I'll help you get your revenge." William nodded with a smile of satisfaction. "Jazlyn Xu, right?"
"Yep." Lucas nodded. All of a sudden, his expressions changed and he whispered, "Don't tell anyone else what I've told you just now."
"Do you think I'm a gossip person?"
"No, of course not," Lucas said as he shook his head. "I'm just afraid that you would tell Mary. In your current state, you always want to follow Mary. You'd do everything you can just to make her smile, even if it means betraying your buddies."
"So you also think that what happened last night was like a joke?" William teased.
"Fuck off!" Lucas turned his head away in anger and said, "Talking to a profit-oriented businessman like you is the most annoying thing in the world!"
"Here!" William suddenly threw a pen and paper to Lucas and said, "The last sentence. You don't have her picture, do you? Draw a picture of her so that I can help you investigate her. I'm working. Don't bother me."
"Wow, you are quite a professional." Lucas gladly took the pen and paper. He turned around, and sat back on the sofa. There he bent over the table in front of him, preparing to draw a portrait. 'Jazlyn Xu, what does she look like?'
Lucas thought for a moment and prepped the pen, ready to draw her portrait. She had a small oval face, high cheekbones, long lashes, and a pointed nose. Her smile was great but she did not smile often. The corners of her mouth curved intricately and her deep dimples...
The two men did not disturb each other in the office. From time to time, William glanced at Lucas and saw him drawing very seriously. Sometimes he would frown, and sometimes he would smile. It seemed that he was not drawing an enemy, but... a lover!
At the thought of this, William gave a meaningful smile.
"Done!" After a long time, Lucas finally stood up, blew the eraser crumbs on the paper, and looked at his work with satisfaction. He walked to William, and handed the portrait to him proudly. "Have a look. What do you think?"
William took it and nodded. "Yes, not bad! Very beautiful."
"Eh? I mean, what do you think about my drawing?" Lucas rested his hands on his hips. He poked the eyes of the portrait with the pen and said, "I drew here and changed it several times."
William listened to him while smiling. He did not respond until Lucas had finished his words. "It can be seen that you paid a lot of attention on it. How was it? Last night was very unforgettable, huh?"
