Trapped In A Fake Relationship

After an-hour's ride, Wylynn finally arrived at Sunny Club, and since Jad had already informed the club's bouncers about her arrival, one of the bouncers immediately led her upstairs, where Jad was. Seeing the place, she realized that the student's parents Ean fought with were wealthy and influential, just like what Halle had said, because ordinary people couldn't obviously afford to come into a place like this.

When they reached upstairs, the bouncer knocked on the VIP room door before opening it. As soon as she entered, several people's gazes were drawn to her all at once.

Wylynn then asked, "I'm Ean's sister. Who's Lawyer Zager here?"

Sitting at the table and fiddling with the cards, Jad cast a sidelong glance at her and said, "Come in."

Wylynn came closer to Jad and stated, "I already asked Ean about the fight, and he said it was Yohann who started it."

Raising an eyebrow and leaning back in his seat, Jad replied, "So?"

Despite the man's conceit, Wylynn didn't lose her cool and went on with the topic. "Legally speaking, my brother acted in self-defense," she explained calmly.

However, Jad only laughed and scoffed, "Miss, are you discussing law with a lawyer?"

Hearing this, Holton, who was next to Jad, nudged and ragged him. "What do you want to talk about besides the law then? Sex?"

As he spoke, his sensual gaze was fixed on Wylynn. Shuffling the cards, he again spoke, jesting, "Just how do you think you can make her comfortable without breaking the law, Jad?"

Hearing the two men's conversation, not to mention right in front of her, made Wylynn's body freeze and feel uncomfortable.

She had no idea these two serious-looking men would spit such obscene words in front of a woman. As the adage went, "the more decent you appear, the more obscene you are."

Fortunately, a man named Yerik Crawley appeared, carrying a bottle of wine, and intervened in the two's banter. He kicked Holton and said, "Hey, stop it, you two, be serious. Look at her; she seems scared."

Wylynn was trying to figure out how to get the conversation back on track when the bathroom door creaked open, and someone appeared.

Jad looked in that direction and said to Wylynn, "Well, don't say I didn't give you a chance. The client is already here. He's Yohann's father. If he lets you go, you're lucky; the matter is over."

While the latter was speaking, Wylynn also looked at the door and saw a man a few steps away. He was dressed in a suit and tie, his face stood out in the bright light, and he had a stillness that no one else possessed. For a brief moment, Wylynn felt like she didn't know him. No, she should have said he was a stranger out of bed.

Wylynn had thought about Levi's identity before. Based on his behavior and age, she assumed he had a successful career. But it never crossed her mind that he already had a 13-year-old son.

She quickly shook that thought and reasoned that as a sex partner, she should act as if she didn't know him when they were not in bed. With that, Wylynn stood up and faced him.

"Mr. Zacharias, I want to talk to you about the two children," she began, then paused for a while. Then she soon added, "Alone."

Levi stood leisurely, his hands in his trousers pockets. Before he spoke, Holton over there began to tease again, "I also want to chat with you alone, Miss. Would you mind?"

A smile flashed on Yerik's face upon hearing his friend trying to strike a woman boldly. He then jested, "Are you sure you only want to chat? You're easy to read, man. I'm sure you're fantasizing about something bad right now."

Chuckling, Jad also teased, "Sorry, but this lady obviously dislikes your vulgarity."

After dropping that line, he turned to Levi and reminded him, "Levi, limits, okay?"

Levi only looked at the three men, who had finally calmed down. He stood there for a moment, then turned around and walked past Wylynn.

Still in a daze, Wylynn could only follow him with her eyes.

Levi had already reached the door but soon paused as he noticed she was not following. "Are you just going to stand there?" he asked, his tone casual. "I thought you wanted us to talk alone," he added before exiting.

Wylynn immediately snapped out of her trance and followed him.

In the parking lot, she saw Levi sitting in the driver's seat, seemingly looking for something inside his car. Moments later, he came out with a cigarette and lit it up, one arm casually resting on the car roof.

At this moment, Wylynn had finally caught up to him. Levi puffed a cloud of smoke into the air and then looked at her.

"What do you want to talk about?" he asked with an unusually heavy voice.

As the cold night breeze blew through, Wylynn's hair got disheveled. She combed her hair with her fingers and straightforwardly answered, "My brother said Yohann started it, so it was basically self-defense."

She then glanced at Levi, checking his reaction, but all she could see was a calmness in him.

Since it seemed he didn't intend to interrupt her, she said, "But since Yohann ended up in the hospital, I will persuade my brother to apologize to him, but we will still pay for the medical expenses, just not the emotional damage. I'm sorry, but I don't think we should pay for it."

Levi skillfully shook off the ashes of his cigarette. After a long silence, he broke it as he replied, "Finished?"

Wylynn simply nodded as she responded, "Yes."

Levi returned the cigarette to his lip, and as he opened his mouth, a few smoke rings escaped. "It's their problem. Let them solve it. Now, let's talk about our business," he started.

"I left my tie at the hotel; did you keep it for me?" he queried, then returned his gaze to Wylynn, waiting for her response.

Wylynn's gaze quickly flew to Levi in surprise. After a while, she finally pulled herself together and answered shyly, "I threw it away."

Afterward, silence engulfed them as the awkwardness lingered in their atmosphere.

Secretly, Levi gazed into Wylynn's eye intently. But Wylynn wasn't aware of it as she fell into deep thought.

'We had already gone to bed but rarely talked about ourselves. And now that we're talking about it, I realize I have no idea what kind of person he really is,' she realized.

But it didn't matter anymore, so Wylynn looked him straight in the eye and said, "I think I made it very clear that now that you have a fiancee, it's already over for us."

Levi straightened up and puffed another puff of smoke, this time enveloping the top of her head like a circle of clouds.

"Are you... sure?" he asked slowly.

Wylynn only nodded in response.

Seeing that she was sure of it, Levi could only respond, "If so, I respect your decision."

Levi then threw the remaining cigarette on the ground, stepped on it with the toe of his leather shoes, and turned to face her. "Get in the car," he instructed, opening the passenger seat door for her.
