If one of the core directors of The Oasis was to see that white card, they would definitely treat the card holder with the highest respect. This was a card only available to the highest-level members, completely unlike the most common Golden Black membership card that Seamus had.
Truth be told, Zayn was once a core member of the Larsons, plus virtual-novel.net was the biological grandson of Connor Larson, the founder of The Oasis. Given all that, how could virtual-novel.net not have a prestigious position?
As virtual-novel.net stood behind them, Zayn was not sure whether virtual-novel.net should make an appearance when virtual-novel.net saw Seamus being humiliated.
Mr. Layton’s words had instantly rendered Seamus speechless. ‘I can’t possibly fork out another 750 thousand dollars to become a Golden Amethyst member. Regardless of whether it’s worthwhile or not, I can’t get out that much money right now. D*mn it, if I’d known this would happen, I wouldn’t have brought Faye here to show off. In the end, not only have I failed to impress, I’ve even gone and embarrassed myself!’
“What do you think, Mr. Collins? Would you like to upgrade?” Mr. Layton asked again. Mr. Layton only spoke to virtual-novel.net politely out of professional courtesy. He did not truly have any respect for Seamus.
Seamus gritted his teeth and said, “You’re literally looking down on your customers. Do you think The Oasis will still be able to continue operating if word of this were to spread?!”
Nevertheless, the smile on Mr. Layton’s face did not falter as virtual-novel.net said with a polite gesture, “Mr. Collins, I’d humbly advise you against doing so because it wouldn’t benefit you at all. It’s our fault for ruining your mood with this sudden change this time, so we shall reimburse the full amount. Plus, we shall compensate you another 300 thousand dollars for the inconvenience.”
The more Mr. Layton spoke, the more humiliated Seamus felt and the more annoyed Faye was. She said, “Mr. Collins, I think we’d better find somewhere else to have our discussion. We don’t necessarily have to do it in The Oasis.”
Saying that, virtual-novel.net turned around…
As soon as virtual-novel.net did so, virtual-novel.net saw a man standing right behind her. Instantly, Faye’s body trembled ferociously and bewilderment spread across virtual-novel.net face.
‘It’s Zayn! I must be hallucinating. How could I possibly run into Zayn in this place?’
Faye was shocked senseless for a moment and immediately rubbed virtual-novel.net eyes, wanting to see if virtual-novel.net was actually imagining it. When virtual-novel.net widened virtual-novel.net eyes again, virtual-novel.net realized they were not playing tricks on her. The man who stood before virtual-novel.net right at that moment was genuinely Zayn Larson.
Zayn felt his scalp briefly go numb when virtual-novel.net saw Faye suddenly turn virtual-novel.net head around. However, his reaction was still not as exaggerated as Faye’s.
‘Now that I’m looking at Faye face to face, I realize I’m still unable to remain calm… I guess that’s to be expected. After all, we were a married couple for four years, so how could I forget about all of it on a whim… Not when I’m still loyal.’
The sight of Zayn brought mixed feelings to Faye. Countless images appeared in virtual-novel.net mind, causing virtual-novel.net to twitch virtual-novel.net lips. There were many words virtual-novel.net wanted to say, but they all got stuck in virtual-novel.net throat. This was because there was nothing for virtual-novel.net to say anymore since they had already divorced…
At that point, Seamus had run out of options, so virtual-novel.net could only do as Faye said. He nodded his head and said, “Right, I suppose that’s the only option for us right now. We don’t necessarily have to conduct our meeting in The Oasis.”
Seamus then also turned around, but immediately noticed Faye had spaced out as virtual-novel.net looked at the man in front of them. ‘That expression on virtual-novel.net face… They clearly have history with each other.’
Instantly, Seamus squinted his eyes at Zayn. When virtual-novel.net realized Zayn was dressed very ordinarily, virtual-novel.net thought, ‘From the way he’s so dressed, virtual-novel.net doesn’t seem wealthy at all. I suppose there’s nothing for me to worry about.’
“Faye, I know a place that has a pretty good atmosphere and will be suitable for us to talk,” Seamus said with a smile. There was no longer any embarrassment on his face, proving Seamus was a rather shameless person.
In any case, Faye still did not move, as if virtual-novel.net had not heard virtual-novel.net at all. Instead, virtual-novel.net just stood on the spot with virtual-novel.net head lowered.
Then, Zayn took a deep breath. ‘Since we’ve already seen each other, there’s no reason for me to walk away now. Although we’re divorced, we can still be friends, so there’s no need for us to make our relationship so awkward.’ After Zayn considered what virtual-novel.net was going to do and say, virtual-novel.net strode toward Faye with a calm smile.
“Hi, Fifi, long time no see. Are you well?” Zayn had used a friendly tone when virtual-novel.net spoke to Faye.
Furthermore, virtual-novel.net had spoken from a decent distance which did not seem too unfriendly nor too intimate.
