Chapter 98 - Ex-Girlfriend

When Neil showed up at the club in the evening, those who were invited to the dinner party had already shown up. Neil looked around and found that some of them were familiar to him. He greeted them with a nod and walked away to find Joshua Fu. 

The moment he entered the private room, Joshua's eyes widened in surprise. He left two girls beside him and immediately stood up. 

"Neil Mo," Joshua looked at Neil in hesitant, and soon, his lips stretched into a wide smile. "I was surprised hearing that you accepted my invitation this time, but I didn't think that you would really show up." He stretched up his hand and the two shook hands.

"I just thought that I should come here and look around since I have time to come," Neil said casually. 

Joshua laughed before he gestured towards the sofa. "Have a seat. What would you like to drink? Anything to eat?"

Neil glanced at the few bottles on the table. "Anything is fine."

Joshua nodded and signaled his men to bring more drinks and snacks for them. A few girls in tight and revealing dresses walked over and eyed Neil from head to toe. 

"Luna, Grace," Joshua looked at the two girls. "This is the first time President Mo is visiting my place. Why don't you girls accompany President Mo and make sure he had a good time here."

The smile on the girls' lips stretched up. They obediently listened to their boss's suggestion and walked over to Neil. Just before they were able to link their hands on Neil's arms, the man had already avoided them. The look on his face was cold, causing the two girls to shiver in fear.

Previously, their boss had reminded them that this guest was an important and powerful man. They wanted to please this man, but as mere shrimp, they could not offend this big boss.

"I don't need them to accompany me," Neil said. "I'm just here to discuss something with you."

The two girls looked at their boss with a pitiful gaze and walked away when he signaled them to leave. 

"What do you want to discuss with me?" Joshua eyed the man cautiously. 

The two of them were around the same age but were in a different league. Ever since the Mo brothers had taken over the company and helped to stabilize and raise the company to another level, the elders had been pushing their son to try and build some connection with Mo's family.

Although Adam Mo was said to be friendly and would always attend a gathering like this, he was very hard to deal with. In the end, not many had their chance to build their connection with the group.

A waiter walked in and placed a clean glass and a bottle of hard liquor in front of them.

"I heard that your company was interested in our commercial building project," Neil grabbed the glass, eyed the golden color drink in the glass, and took a sip. Then, he turned to Joshua with a languid look in his eyes.

Joshua had stared at Neil with surprise. The look on his face gradually disappeared as he realized that this was a chance of a lifetime for him to pitch his idea.

The two men ended up discussing business for a while and once they are finished, there was a bright smile on Joshua's face. 

As Joshua went back to entertain his guests, Neil sat alone, poured himself some drinks, and took a sip, minding his own business.

The others watched him curiously, wondering if they should take the chance to talk to him. However, with the cold aura around Neil, none of them dared to approach him and initiate a conversation with him.

As Neil was taking a few sips on his drinks while checking the time before he could return home, a woman in a midnight blue dress approached him and sat beside him. 

His face turned cold and Neil lifted his head, ready to drive that woman away. But once he saw that person, Neil stopped himself abruptly and stared at the woman with a frown.

"Amanda," he spoke her name. "Why are you here?" Neil asked. 

"We're in a club, why do you think I'm here for?" Amanda Shen flashed him a bright smile before she poured herself some drink and took a sip. "It's good that you still remember me."

The frown on Neil's face deepened as he heard her words. Seconds later, Neil chose to look away and ignored this person beside him. 

If he had known that he would run into his ex-girlfriend, he would not come over to Joshua's club.

Suddenly, Amanda felt that their situation turned awkward. She had gathered her courage and was ready with her speech the moment she saw her ex-boyfriend walked into the private room. However, Neil's indifferent attitude had killed this courage and Amanda did not know what to do.

"Neil? Are you still mad over what happened two years ago? Do you still blame me for it?"

Neil let out a chuckle. "Miss Shen, you think too much. I have already let go of the matters from two years ago."

Amanda felt a stab at her heart upon hearing the way he addressed her. She lowered her gaze and a weak smile curled on her lips. "I'm sorry." Seeing that the man beside her did not utter a word to respond, her grip on the glass tightened a little bit. Then, she looked up and hesitated. "Neil, the thing between us, can't you give me another chance? We used to be happy together."

Although Neil Mo always had a cold look on his face, he had treated her well while they were dating. A few years have passed, and Amanda realized that she could not forget about him.

He turned around to look at the woman and his face darkened. "You cheated on me. Jamie is my friend."

"You cannot consider that cheating. Moreover, Jamie was the first to make a move," Amanda Argued. Whenever she thought of how Jamie Xu had tricked her, Amanda's blood would start to boil from anger.

"You know what kind of person Jamie is and you still dare to think that you're not guilty?" Neil laughed coldly. "Miss Shen, the moment you decided to visit Jamie that night, you should know that I cannot continue to be with you."

Neil glanced at his wristwatch again and decided that it was the time for him to go home. After exchanging a word with Joshua, Neil left the club and had Driver Tang to send him home.

Driver Tang held on to the steering wheel and swallowed when he saw his boss's mood was not right. As soon as Neil left the vehicle and headed upstairs, Driver Tang let out a breath of relief.

It was past midnight when Neil walked into the house. The surrounding was dark and was only dimly brightened from the light coming from the kitchen.

"You're back."

His movement paused when he heard the voice of the person he was trying to avoid.
