Chapter 200 - Smoking

Single Paradise was not a bar, but a KTV. Though with a weird name, it was beautifully decorated inside. As a product of the old entertainment industry, it had probably got renovated after being sold and looked splendid now.

As the name had been familiar to everyone in the past, the new owner kept the name. He just made another fashionable sign board with the words "Single Paradise" on it. It could be seen from afar that the four words "Single Paradise" shone brightly at night.

When Emily and Vincent entered, Janessa was smoking at the door. She stood there with skilled smoking posture, gazing into the distance. A slight breeze was stirring her hair. She looked like a beauty shrouded in mystery.

Emily walked closer and saw that Armando was also here. Armando’s presence was not often felt by others. He leaned against the wall and looked at Janessa smoking. In his hand there was an ashtray, which was probably a product of capitalism and looked expensive with its glittering golden color.

Seeing Emily, Janessa naturally dropped their cigarette butt in the ashtray in Armando's hand. Armando did not ground the cigarette immediately but pinched the filter tip, not knowing what he was thinking.

Janessa walked in with Emily. Vincent fell behind. He looked at Armando and frowned, stretching out his arm to let Armando stand up straight. "Cheer up!"

Armando was very disappointed. Every time Janessa was about to leave City Y for another place, he would be in the blues. Although he was no different from usual, you would find him dispirited with a closer look. At this moment, there was no light in his eyes, but loss.

Hearing Vincent's words, Armando looked up and forced a smile. "I'll get used to it soon."

This was not the first time Janessa had gone far away, nor was it the first time Armando part from her. However, as he grew up and knew more about this woman, he became more emotionally dependent on her and felt reluctant to let her go. He asked her many times, "Could you please not go away?"

Janessa would always caress his head like a child. "Little boy, what can I do if I stay? The outside world is so beautiful. I'm so young, I can't waste my time here..."

It was until he grew up that he confirmed himself to have different feeling for Janessa. He wanted to stay by her side for the rest of his life and be able to see her every day.

But what he worried most was still happening. Janessa took a fancy to someone outside...

"Armando, when did you start smoking?" A car parked at the door. "Master, come back soon. I can’t wait to see you." Following the sound of a girl, Randy got out of the car with the fan that had Top of the Tops written on it. He saw Armando holding up a gold ashtray and exclaimed "So extravagant".

Then he caught a glimpse of the lipstick stain on the filter tip and immediately understood, "Holy shit, are you collecting Janessa's butts?"

Armando walked in with the butt and ashtray. Randy kicked him before following him, "Get real! You're even crazier than Jaquan. That woman is simply..." He thought for a moment and then gave up. After all, Armando is better than Jaquan. He then said, "Her aura is too strong for normal people to control. You were like a love child she raised when being with her..."

Armando glanced at Randy and flexed the wrist that held the ashtray.

"..."

Randy smiled. "I'm kidding. Look, you look so manly with such strong chest and butt." As he spoke, he pinched Armando’s muscle. "Man, your muscle is harder than Jaquan."

Armando ignored him and stored the ashtray in the cupboard.

Randy looked at his cautious appearance and had a bad idea, "If there is no other way, you can just force her to have sex with you. Janessa is a woman. If you got her body, you would one day get her soul."

Armando turned around and glared at him, "Randy, I'll forget what you just said this time. Watch your mouth next time."

Randy patted his mouth. "Alright, my bad."

They took the elevator to the third floor, which is entirely one room.

When the elevator door opened, one could only see a hall that was wider than a basketball court. A row of soft sofas was near the wall. The hall was divided into two parts with a song-ordering machine on the left and a projector on the right. One could watch movies through it. Looking above, the vast universe with one or two meteors flying by was in front of your eyes.

Beside the hall there was a perspiration room and a large pool that one could stay. Taking spiral stairs to the top, there were four beds ... Red roses scattered on the sheets, with condoms, lubricants and anything one could imagine on the bedside cabinets.

Not everyone was here. Emily sat on the soft sofa and Armando bought four large bags of snacks on the coffee table. There were melon seeds, nuts, peanuts, chocolate, and even spicy glutens.

Those snacks were all Janessa’s favorites. She took out a bag of melon seeds and handed it to Emily. "Take whatever you like. It's important to have fun here. Make yourself at home."

Emily took it with a smile but did not eat it.

She was always hesitant around people she did not know. Sydnee was someone she was familiar previously and was not a new acquaintance. Harold was her father's driver and part-time bodyguard, so he could be trusted.

However, Janessa, Emma, and Arabella were all new acquaintances. She was not familiar with them, so could not feel at ease nor vigilant.

Janessa had met a lot of people when she was a tour guide. This was the first time she had met someone with this kind of temperament and was quite interested in her. She took the initiative to come over and say, "You look like a person with stories. I really want to take a picture of you, but I guess Vincent won't agree."

Vincent sat beside Emily and looked at Janessa when hearing this.

Janessa was not afraid of him. She said to him, "If she agrees to take the photo, you won't be able to stop her."

However, how could Emily agree? She shook her head and pursed her lips, nibbling shelled melon-seeds.

Shelled?

Only then did they notice that Vincent, the legendary figure in City Y and the head of the Scavo Corp, who was known for his indifference and ruthlessness, was using his slender fingers to peel melon seeds with a meticulous expression.

"..."

It was such a shock to see that a cold man could be so gentle.

Janessa's heart gave a flutter seeing such scene. Armando handed the peeled melon seeds over and gave her a cup of milk tea with a straw.

Randy felt it pitiful that he, a single person, came here only to witness PDA.. Fortunately, Jaquan who was a simp would be here to accompany him, which comforted him a little.
