"I have a lot in my mind tonight. So give me a recommendation so I can relax and forget about my problems for one night," Vernon said, using his charm to lure the waitress in.
Of course, the waitress was more than excited. She thought she had won the golden ticket to the rich and happy life by spending the night with Vernon Phoenix Gray.
"I—I suggest Mr. Phoenix Gray try our seven-star fantasy. It's a new set of drinks consisting of seven kinds that will be delivered periodically."
"And those seven drinks will be able to make me drunk enough to forget about my problems for one night?" Vernon chuckled. "You know I need more than just a drink, right?"
"I—I know, Mr. Phoenix Gray. That's why I… I am willing to accompany you for the night," the waitress volunteered.
Vernon scoffed, "What's your name?"
The waitress was surprised that Vernon Phoenix Gray wanted to know her name. That meant her appearance passed his standard, 'And after this, we will spend the night together, and my life will be smooth-sailing from now on!' the waitress thought.
"My name is Nicky," the waitress introduced herself bashfully.
"And how old are you?"
"Twenty-one…"
"Oh? You're barely legal to drink, but you're working in a luxury bar like this? That's bold," Vernon said with a smile.

"Hmm, well, that kind of money is trivial for me. I can give you all the money to pay off your student loan. But I'm not going to give it for free," Vernon said.
Nicky already imagined all her student loans paid upfront, and Vernon Phoenix Gray would be in love with her after having wonderful sex together.
'OMG, this is like a story from a ! One night stand that turns to be a blossoming romance! I will be Nicky Gray!' Nicky thought. 'Ah, this will be easy. I will act as if I'm enjoying his dick, and boost his ego, then he will think I'm the perfect woman!'
Vernon watched this woman's expression gradually change after he baited her. It was something very predictable for Vernon. Nobody was able to reject his advance. His body, charisma, and money were the ultimate combo to hook any woman he met…
Except for his sister-in-law…
This waitress in front of him was no different. She looked fidgety— trying her best not to jump at him and started making out.
Honestly, Vernon wasn't in the mood to do it tonight. But he thought the only way to forget about Chloe at home was to drink until he was very drunk and started fucking any woman by his side.
It was a way for him to relieve his stress before reuniting with his sister-in-law.
"Give me that seven-star fantasy set. I want to drink for the whole night," Vernon said.
"T—Then, may I suggest myself be the one who serves you?" Nicky volunteered, full of excitement.
"Yes, you will serve my drink and accompany me for the night. I don't mind at all," Vernon said.
Nicky was over the moon once Mr. Phoenix Gray allowed her to accompany him. This was a dream come true!
"I will prepare the drink set first. Please excuse me, Mr. Phoenix Gray," Nicky said.
"Hm."
Vernon stared at the door in a daze. He had nothing in his mind other than Chloe at home. No matter how many times he tried to dispel her off his thought, she just kept coming back.
"She is like a pest. Why can't she get out of my head?" Vernon murmured. "This is because she showed that fake sweet, bubbly, but strict Chloe that I grew up with…."
While Vernon was busy with his thoughts, his phone vibrated inside his pocket. He frowned because, as much as he remembered, he had already finished all the work for today after signing the last document.
However, his expression soon changed when he saw the caller.
Chloe Gray.
He hesitated to pick up the call, so he ignored it until the call ended. However, his sister-in-law insisted and called again, forcing him to finally pick it up.

"What?" Vernon started the conversation on the phone with a sharp tone.
"Umm… Vernon, where are you right now?" Chloe asked.

"I was just making sure you're alright..."
"Bar," Vernon finally replied.
"I see," Chloe nodded. She wasn't that surprised, nor did she have the right to dictate Vernon to do stuff.
Chloe wanted to warn Vernon not to drink too much because it might be dangerous, knowing his popularity and status.
But Vernon was a grown man, so he must've known how to control himself.
"Um… how long will you spend in the bar?"
"Do I really need to say it to you? Why do you care about that?"
"I just want to make sure to reheat the dinner for you if it's not too late," Chloe replied. "Diamond told me you're busy in your office, and now you're in the bar. So I thought you haven't had a proper meal for dinner yet…."
"I'm not in the mood to eat your food tonight," Vernon said. He grinned as he had the idea to trigger his sister-in-law. "I won't be home soon. I'm going to have fun here. I've found a new woman to spend the night with."
Chloe wasn't all that surprised. After all, Vernon was a rich, handsome, powerful young man who had the world in his hand.
He was also unmarried and didn't date anyone right now, so there was no problem with him having fun outside as long as he did it safe.
But, as his big sister figure, Chloe didn't want Vernon to catch STD outside, so she said, "I understand. I won't cook for you tonight. Don't forget to use a condom, okay? You still need to be careful. It's dangerous out there."
