Chapter 246 - Evening Fun

Renz left his office by 7:00 pm. He just changed his clothes and ate dinner with his parents before going out for his night out with Arthur and his friends.

Renz hadn't informed his parents yet regarding his breakup with Selene. He couldn't bring himself to talk about it.

He needed some time to finally accept it. But for now, he wanted to forget about it and have an evening fun with his friends.

Arthur already texted him that they were already in the Nightclub, waiting for him. At around 8:00 pm, Renz left the Chou Mansion, going to Starlight Nightclub. Alexa was still following him secretly.

Renz just wore a plain white shirt matched with jeans and a black leather jacket. Just like him, Alexa was also wearing her simple clothes. A blue high-waist jeans, and a white spaghetti strap top paired with a leather jacket.

The two entered the club. Loud live music was resounding inside. Lots of people were dancing on the stage and the dance floor while others stayed at their respective tables and private booths, drinking to their hearts' content.

Arthur and his friends reserved a VIP booth on the second floor of the pub. Alexa proceeded to the bar counter since she couldn't follow Renz in their private booth.

When Renz entered their booth, he was welcomed right away by Arthur.

"Oh man, I'm glad you are here. Finally, you made it! You didn't ditch us tonight!" Arthur said, wrapping his shoulder as he pulled Renz inside.

Renz was surprised when he saw Micaela joining them tonight.

"Micaela? What are you doing here?" Renz asked her in confusion. 

She was just discharged from the hospital not long ago. She should be resting at her dormitory, not going out at night.

"Hi, Renz…" Micaela greeted him with a faint smile.

It was Arthur who answered Renz's query. "I invited her to join us."

Arthur didn't know that Micaela had been shot and was recuperating. Micaela used that alibi, telling Renz that she couldn't say no to Arthur.

Renz sat down next to Micaela. He warned her not to drink much. Everyone started chatting and drinking inside.

Renz was just silent as he continued drinking. He wanted to drown his negative feelings, forgetting about Selene.

Micaela noticed that Renz was not in his usual self tonight. She saw him drinking non-stop. She wondered if he had a problem.

Renz was about to drink another glass of beer when Micaela stopped him.

"Slow down, Renz. We are just starting. It's still early to get drunk," Micaela said, teasing him.

Renz just simply nodded his head and put his glass down. Micaela tried to ask him about his problem.

"Renz, are you okay? Is there something bothering you? You are very quiet tonight."

"I'm just tired from work so I came here to unwind and relax."

Micaela giggled at his remarks. "I don't think so. It looks like you came here to get drunk, not to unwind."

"Did Selene know that you are here?" Micaela suddenly mentioned Selene.

Renz's expression became solemn after hearing Selene's name. He felt his heart clench once again. Renz didn't say a word as he picked up his glass, drinking his beer in just one gulp.

Micaela noticed Renz's unusual behavior after she mentioned Selene.

'Hmm, did they fight? It seems that Renz is unhappy hearing her name.' Micaela smiled at that thought.

'I should grab this opportunity and console Renz. I will make a move on him and get closer to him.'

"Micaela…"

"Yes, Renz?"

"What can you say about Gabriel?" Renz asked her from out of the blue.

He wanted to know what was good about Gabriel that Selene chose him.

Meanwhile, Micaela didn't expect that Renz would ask her about Gabriel. She was a little bit confused. She didn't know what to say since he was not close to Gabriel aka Eros.

'Is he thinking that I might like Gabriel? Is he jealous of Gabriel?' 

"Hmm, I don't know much about him. But I could say that Gabriel is undeniably charming. Why do you ask?"

Renz flashed a bitter smile as he poured another beer on his glass.

"Hey, I said stop drinking." Micaela snatched his glass and drank his beer instead.

"You are the one who should not be drinking," Renz reminded her.

Micaela just giggled at him.

"Renz, let's stop drinking. Let's dance!" Micaela said, pulling Renz up from his seat.

Arthur was secretly watching the two. He could see that Micaela and Renz were getting along well. 

Between Micaela and Selene, Arthur preferred Micaela to be with Renz. He just let the two talk, not disturbing them. 

Meanwhile, Alexa was curious about what's going inside the VIP booth. "Is Renz having fun right now? He looked so sad a while ago."

She was trying to figure out how she would monitor Renz without being seen by him. If he hadn't seen her face this afternoon, then she would not be having trouble approaching him right now. But unfortunately, Renz saw her.

Fortunately, she didn't need to go to the second floor since Renz and his group went down to join the crowd dancing on the dance floor.

Alexa arched her eyebrows upon seeing the woman standing next to Renz.

"Micaela is also here?! She is really trying to get close to Renz Chou. What kind of scheme is she plotting this time?"

Alexa couldn't hide her displeasure towards Micaela. She hated her method. Selene and Renz had nothing to do with her parents' death but she was targeting them.

"She pretended to be Selene's best friend. Behind her back, she is trying to seduce Selene's fiancee, backstabbing her.

"I loathe people like her," Alexa mumbled, looking dagger at Micaela.

Alexa drank her beer in one go before standing up to follow Renz and Micaela on the dance floor.

"I will not let you have Renz Chou. I will protect him away from you." 

Alexa wanted to rip off the smile on Micaela's face right now.
