Chapter 2 Club CD195

Elaine's POV

We kept staring at each other as though speaking telepathically, I stood there feeling stunned. My limbs had lost their senses and all I could do was wonder why Evan had to look this hot. Of course, I had seen many pictures of him because his father simply missed and adored his son, but I had imagined those pictures to be filtered photos. I just realized now that he looked better in person.

"Miss" a maid called, making me snap out of my trail of thoughts. That's when I realized that Mr Bryce and his son had already gone in while I stood there dazed.

"Oh, um.... sorry what did you say?" I asked looking flushed.

"Well miss, Sir asked me to clean up the other villa and prepare for Mr Evan to live there" she explained

"So, get to that," I said to her wondering why she had to inform me first

"Well, sir never allows any maids to get close to his office unless he is right there with them and he is very excited to see his son, he might get really mad if I were to" I cut her off feeling like I had enough

"I get your point" I reached into my purse and gave her my card which was able to unlock every room in all of Mr. Bryce's villa and asked her to return it to Mr. Gilbert when she was done.

I left the villa once more and headed back to the office in my car, I hadn't learned to drive yet even at 26 because I had developed Amaxophobia due to my parents passing. Luckily Mr Bryce was kind enough to get me a personal driver. He was in no rush to teach me how to drive......yet.

I arrived at the company and walked inside the tall building. The other Junior employees greeted me as I passed by them and I replied with a nod. If there is anything I've learned from business school and Mr. Bryce, it is that business comes first before worldly. There was nothing like friends or family in business and you have to keep a strict aura around you or the junior staff will be disrespectful towards you.

I walked into the elevator and pressed a button at my left, I waited for a while and thankfully I was the only one in the elevator. 'Must be my lucky day' I thought to myself.

I got out of the elevator and headed into Mr. Bryce's office. I placed some documents on the table and went to my table which was on the other side of the office.

I spent the whole day as any other day, I had to sign a lot of files and keep things in place for Mr. Bryce; At the end of the day, I emailed him some urgent documents that needed to be reviewed before leaving the office.

I checked my purse and finally found my iPhone 14 pro, I was about to put a call through to my driver when a car came to a halt right before me.

"Hello pretty" I heard a familiar voice call, I crouched down to see a pair of amber eyes smiling cutely at me. It was my boyfriend; Jared Carter.

"Jared!" I beamed in excitement, he had traveled out of the state for a while and didn't tell me he was back.

"Come on in" I got into the car and hugged him tightly.

"Woah, you missed me huh" he teased.

"Of course, I did, When did you get back," I asked feeling extremely excited.

"Today, I didn't tell you because I wanted to surprise you my darling," he said and leaned to kiss me, I gave him a quick kiss on the lips and moved away.

"What? You're scared our kiss would lead to something else" he smiled coyly.

"Oh Jared, can you ever stop being naughty? I stopped because I know as usual you were actually on your way to a club am I right?" I gave him a challenging death stare.

"Really and I would pass by your workplace where I could easily have bumped into you just to go to a club. The fact that you don't trust me hurts my feelings very much " he made a hurt pretense face but I wasn't buying it, knowing him this was all just a charade. I arched an eyebrow at him to show him I wasn't buying his story and he sighed in defeat.

"Okay, but you know it's been months and I gotta go see what's changed and what's not. I came here so I could convince you to come with me" he finally revealed.

"Okay let's go," I said calmly.

"What?" He looked stunned

"Let's go to the club" I tried to make myself more understandable.

"Yeah I got that but.....you wanna go to a club with me? I thought you don't do clubbing?" He said his words so fast it sounded like he was trying to rap

"Well....I've had a long day and I don't wanna part with you yet, I'll end up staying up in bed, so let's go to the club. I need a few drinks anyway" I said with a sigh

"What about your Grandfather?" He asked

"He'll be fine. Come on let's go" I said impatiently

"As you wish. Mi lady" he said, smiling coyly

"Sily" I retorted and put on the seat belt securely knowing this boyfriend of mine was a seriously annoying stunt driver and I couldn't exchange seats with him and drive the car. I end up freezing right on the spot and start sweating profusely until I finally lose consciousness, that is how bad my Amaxophobia is.

He drove us at a high speed for a few minutes, playing really loud songs on our way there. He kept trying to act cute before me knowing my disapproval of this but continued singing along to it. We finally got to the club and I was grateful that I wore something more casual to work today, that way I wouldn't stand out much there.

We got into the club with Jared leading the way, we went to a corner of the club and sat there for a while. The loud music annoyed me but I decided to bury my disapproval and tried to enjoy my moment with Jared.

"I'll go get us drinks," Jared said and left with a smile

I stayed there letting my gaze wonder about it, There were a lot of under 30s there. Mostly doing inappropriate things and showing private moments to the public. Well what else is to be expected of club CD195? I sighed at the waywardness of our generation when I saw someone I didn't imagine I'd see. It was Evan. Mr Bryce's son. He sat at the other side of the club in between dozens of girls who looked like they were worshipping him.

'But he's new to town, how could he know this club? And with the treatment he's getting, he seemed to frequent this place a lot' I thought to myself when he suddenly locked gazes with me again. I needed the ground to devour me at that moment, this wasn't the most appropriate place for him to see me. And his eyes looked as cold as always. I looked away from him as I saw Jared approaching with two glasses in his hand.

He offered one to me and I accepted it with a smile, I kept my attention on him while sipping the alcoholic drink he had offered me when I suddenly heard a familiar voice behind me

"Hello, Miss Elaine" Oh no! I've been caught! And at a popular strip club. I'm so screwed.
