Purchased A Mr. Right
Chapter 612

The only thing captivating about Crocus City in the night apart from beautiful sights and scenes were the many pubs and bars in the area.

The streets drifted with music from the guitars of roadside buskers once the local hawkers have packed up for the night. Emily held her camera tightly to herself and snuck inside a bar that looked less sleazy. Maybe she could find some inspiration for a new scoop and make some money.

Since her boyfriend Boyd was awarded a scholarship abroad, Emily had been saving up money to help with his tuition and she had work hard to make sure that her boyfriend could enjoy a comfortable life being so far away from home.

The upper levels of this bar were VIP rooms and at the center of the ground floor, a guitarist was strumming as he sang.

Emily never could drink. Two bottles of beer were her usual limit and for this reason, her superiors never asked her when it came to drinking parties in fear of the inconvenience of dealing with her.

She ordered one bottle and after a couple of swigs, she scanned the crowd to find couples swarming every corner of the establishment. She dug out her cell phone, thinking that she might call her boyfriend Boyd. But twice she tried, to no avail, just as before when she was on the plane, and she grumbled, "What is keeping him away from his phone?!"

She knew the time. It should be morning in Newley City by now. Is he busy?

She gave a hiccup and Emily upended her bottle and emptied every drop of its contents. Then she yelped at the bartender, "One more of this later! I'll be back after the bathroom!"

The bathroom was at the end of the corridor and she strode with her camera held tightly to her midriff.

The aisle was rather narrow and two persons coming from opposite directions needed to shift sideways to allow each other to pass. Emily hurriedly passed the men's room with her head down and she did not notice the door swinging open.

The door swung outwards, hitting her squarely.

Emily did not feel any pain, but she heard something cracking.

Her heart skipped a beat.

Damn it!

She peered down at once to pry off the cover of her camera lens. It really was broken! She could still hear how her chief had been urging her to take care of the camera before coming on this trip and now, she would not know how would she explain to him.

"Are you blind? Can't you see someone walking past!? How could you open a door without looking!?"

Emily went so livid and vented every shred of her rage on the person. But when she looked up to see those same beautiful eyes, she gasped with disbelief, "Why you again?!" "It's you again!"

The two of them yelped almost simultaneously.

Emily nearly broke into curses. Why this scumbag again?!

She had only just gave him a slap across the face just a few hours ago and the encounter still frightened her. Afraid that she might do something to her, she stepped back.

"Are you doing this on purpose?!" Emily glared at him once she felt safer from a distance. "You broke my camera! You're paying me back for it and no buts!"

Simon stuck both hands in his pocket, his charming eyes peering lazily at her. "You walked and bumped into me for not looking at the way and now you're blaming me? Go ask the door for money if you want compensation!"

With that, he nonchalantly stepped away and bumped into her shoulder when he brushed past.

"..." Emily seethed so heavily when she was bumped into the wall that her chest gyrated up and down as she panted. She glared at his back, thrusting an angry finger at him< "ARGGHH! That's infuriating!" Simon marched out of the aisle with swagger. A man came up to him and said, "I couldn't thank you enough, Dr. Chin! Your coming here all the way from Ice City for my grandmother's heart surgery saved her and for that, we really thank you!"

"You're welcome," said Simon, waving a hand. His thin lips curled into a grin. "Your grandmother and my grandma are friends since they were girls and my grandma made sure I was on the next flight here once she heard about you!"

Coming to Yany State was not for leisure, but rather at his grandmother's behest to help her former schoolmate with a surgery. The old patient was too aged and her condition made her unfit for travel, hence he had to come all the way here himself.

No amount of money would have been able to get a master cardiologist like him here, but his grandmother's words could make him move mountains.

"Even so, I'm grateful!" smiled the man, "The surgery's a success, and as host I should give you a proper reception! The VIP room upstairs is ready and the owner of this club is a friend, so feel free to have a good time tonight!"

He immediately introduced two beautiful ladies to him, "These girls are friends of mine. They are from Ice City too and they have heard all about you! It's a rare chance and why don't you enjoy some time with them!"

The two girls threw themselves at Simon and squealed in their clingy voices, "Master Simon!"

Being no strangers to such occasion, everyone knew what was going on.

Simon said nothing. His lips twisted wryly with amusement and he flashed his eyes at the girls and they immediately swooned for him, rushing to wrap their arms around him to lead upstairs. Emily was just coming out of the bathroom, flicking away droplets of water from her hand.

She saw the lean and tall man shuffling upstairs, accompanied by two beautiful ladies and she smirked. Scum like that will never understand loneliness. What had possessed Selena to go near him in the first place?!

She peered down at her broken camera and felt anger burning in her again to have her gnashing her teeth with renewed bitterness.

She gazed upstairs and saw the VIP room, and a cunning grin spread across her face.

She did not go back to the bar. Instead, she followed Simon and the girls upstairs quietly and waited outside quietly until the door to the room opened and one of the scantily-clad women came out where she sprang.

"Hi, girl!"

The woman looked unamused to be accosted by a stranger, "What is this? Do I know you?" "Heh heh!" Emily attempted to defuse the situation with a silly giggle, "You don't. But I only want to give you a warning out of kindness!"

"And what is that?" The woman asked impatiently.

"That man who entered the room with you," Emily pointed to the VIP room. "He's from Ice city, isn't he?"

"How do you know?" The woman began to look more properly at her this time,

"Of course I know!" Emily furrowed her brows, feigning interest, and whispered furtively into her ears, "We are all women so I'm telling you as a friend. Stay away from him. He might look nice and beautiful, but he's terrible in bed. And in fact, he has STD. One that is badly infectious! Take this from a native of Ice City and a reporter too! Look, this is my reporter pass!"

Emily delivered her words with reason and she appeared honest by showing her reporter's pass. "Girl, there are lots of men who look handsome on the outside. But you need to be careful and you'd have the most to lose if anything happens. Not all STDs can be easily cured!"

The girl's face turned hideous and she abandoned all thoughts about using the bathroom and she stormed back into the VIP room.

The corners of Emily's mouth twitched uncontrollably with glee.

Hardly anxious to leave, she stood in a corner and waited while she counted the seconds. As expected, in less than ten minutes, the first girl hurried out of the room with her handbag, followed by the other girl who practically scrambled out as if she was running for dear life.

Ha, ha, ha...

Emily doubled over with laughter deep inside, satisfied with her handiwork.

The more she thought about it the happier she felt and she went back downstairs, eager to enjoy her beer with an added taste of achievement.

She was barely at the bottom of the stairs and the grin was still on her face when she saw a man and a woman hugging each other when they walked past. Emily recognized who it was and her blood ran cold.
