The manager breathed a sigh of relief .
Liam was still stunned . “ Mr. Shaw , is Aria actually the largest shareholder of the Stars Group ? ”
Owen remarked coolly , “ She’s your ex – wife . Didn’t you know that ? ”
Liam truly had no idea . After the initial shock wore off , he gradually composed himself . They were already divorced . Whatever happened to Aria now was
none of his concern .
He wasn’t the type to begrudge his ex – wife a good life .
The manager whispered to the attendant , “ Go fetch Ms. Woods ‘ regular escort .”
“ Understood ”
After giving the order , the manager suddenly felt an eerie chill running down his spine , as if someone was watching him intently .
He turned around and found himself under his boss’s cold , menacing gaze .
“ Yellan Club is supposed to be an upscale establishment . Since when did we start allowing clients to keep male escorts on retainer ? ”
The manager looked puzzled . “ Boss , Yellan Club has always operated this way since opening . Our staff are professional entertainers , not escorts . ”
He noticed the boss frowning slightly .
“ However , Yellan Club doesn’t interfere with employees ‘ personal lives . For VIP guests like Ms. Woods , any male escort she retains exclusively for the year
won’t serve other clients . ”
As he spoke , the manager pretended to be casual while secretly watching the boss’s expression . Seeing how grim his face looked , a wild thought
suddenly struck him .
It seemed like the boss was the one who started stirring up trouble in the beginning .
It was as if he was deliberately targeting Cloe .
Normally , if it were just a conflict , the boss would just ignore the other person and never be the one to start something .
Liam headed to the restroom while Kim remained rooted in place . The manager had no choice but to wait anxiously until the attendant finally led the male model over . Instinctively , he wiped his sweaty palms , nerves getting the better of him .
The male model strode in wearing nothing but black dress pants , his bare torso showcasing firm , sculpted muscles and sharply defined abs .
Kim’s face visibly darkened . He snapped , “ What do you think you’re doing , walking around half – naked in public ? Take him to get dressed , then have him
come serve us drinks . ”
With that , he stalked off in the opposite direction , his rigid back radiating displeasure .
The manager sighed helplessly . “ What are you standing around for ? Hurry up and get dressed to serve our boss . Go find a few new male models and send them over to Ms. Woods . ”
“ Understood ”
Cloe and Aria didn’t have to wait long before Vanessa showed up . She raised her glass and said , “ Sorry I’m late . Let me start with a toast ! ”
Cloe smiled and said , “ Come on , don’t be a stranger . Sit down and join us ! ”

Vanessa handed over the box . “ For Julia . ”
Julia had simple and direct tastes . She loved sparkling gold and showed little interest in anything else .
Every now and then , Aria and Vanessa would spoil her with a little gold .
Cloe took the box and said with a laugh , “ At this rate , you two are going to spoil her rotten ! ”
Vanessa raised her glass and clinked it with the other two . “ I’ve got a work commitment or Julia’s birthday that I can’t get out of , so I’m giving her the gift
in advance . ”
Julia’s birthday fell two days before Cloe’s trip to Kanit City .
Cloe grinned and said , “ Don’t worry . Give her some gold and all will be forgiven . ”
The three couldn’t help but burst out laughing at that .
Shortly after , the manager entered with three fresh – faced male models . He said , “ Ms. Woods , Aston isn’t feeling well , so I’ve given him the night off . These three are new . Feel free to keep them if they meet your standards . ”
Cloe was just venting at the time . Since it was a conversation between girls , it wasn’t appropriate for outsiders to be present . She waved her hand . “ It’s girls ‘ night . No boys allowed . We don’t need them . ”
The manager left the signature dishes on the table and ushered the others out .
The three women enjoyed delicious food , sipped their drinks , and chatted away in lively conversation .
Mostly , it was Vanessa dishing out showbiz gossip , like which sugar daddy was eyeing which starlet , whose celebrity boyfriend had just come out , or who got caught having an on – set fling .
At 11 p.m. , the three parted ways . Vanessa was picked up by her assistant , while Aria and Cloe ordered a car service .
