"Are you sure?" Going through the dimly lit corridor, Matthew asked.
It was day, but the inside of the club did not have windows and it was so dark as if it was night. The
club was brightened up with lights, it was very quiet.
The central air conditioner released cold breeze and the surrounding did not feel muggy.
Boyce said he was sure. "The man I sent to follow him said he came here."
He paused. "I wish he had been killed by a car on the road that day, so he wouldn't have to make
trouble now!"
Matthew looked at him. That did not look like him.
Boyce smiled. "I can't help complaining about him."
Matthew retrieved his look and did not speak again.
Boyce knew Declan was there, but he did not know the exact suite he was in. "I'll ask someone."
Matthew agreed. Boyce went and came back, saying, "I’ve booked the 302 suite which is on the third
floor, next to his."
The reason why it was called a private club was that it was very secluded, and only those who were
close to the boss were received.
Matthew was not close to the boss there, but Mr. Tyrone, who had a good relationship with him, was
very close to the boss there. Knowing Matthew had come, he received him himself.
"Old Kenneth told me. I didn't know you were coming. If I did, I'll arrange a suite for you myself." The
owner of the club's surname was Wells. Everybody called him Jaden.
Boyce went to inquire about Declan. Jaden knew that Matthew was coming, so he came out to receive
him in person.
"You're welcome. I may have something else to trouble you." Matthew smiled lightly. He used to look
neither enthusiastic nor cold when socializing, and his tone was just right.
"If you need anything, just tell me." Jaden smiled. He looked decent; it was just that his nickname
seemed to belong to a little gangster.
After entering the suite, Jaden introduced the uniqueness of the place. The place provided meals and
drinks which was suitable for friends' gatherings. The service was formal and cautious.
Because of it being well secluded, some people would bring their girlfriends there specially for meal.
The food there was very unique and rare when compared with the food outside.
"What do you need? I'll have it delivered here," Jaden asked with a smile.
Matthew looked around the suite. "I heard that Declan Bailey is just next door?"
Jaden paused, smiled and said, "Yes."
"Do you have good sound insulation here?"
"That's for sure. It's quite good, even better than the sound insulation effect of a karaoke box," Jaden
said assertively.
Boyce glimpsed at him. "What if we want the ones next door to hear us?"
Jaden was speechless and baffled.
That was unreasonable.
Who would want their conversation to be heard?
"Are you joking?" Jaden was not sure whether Boyce meant what he said or not, or whether he was
deliberately testing him.
"Do I look like I’m joking?" Boyce looked at Jaden with a straight face.
Jaden hesitated. He turned and looked at Matthew, "Well..."
Matthew cut him off and asked, "Is it difficult to do so?"
Jaden shook his head profusely. Matthew's words made him realized that was not a joke.
In fact, if they want to eavesdrop on Declan's conversation with his friends, he would not be so
surprised. It was strange to let people eavesdrop on their own conversation.
All the people he received here were acquaintances. He would not do what the nightclubs did, setting
up tricks in the suites to spy on what the guests do.
His club did not have such thing.
He pondered and asked, "I suppose it doesn't matter what method you use as long as Declan hears
you?"
Matthew said yes.
"Sure, leave it to me then." Jaden had an idea.
Boyce asked, "What are you trying to do?"
"Didn’t you just want Declan to hear you? It's not difficult. I’ll tell him that I heard you talking here..."
"Oh? Is that all right?" Boyce asked with a smile, "Should we exaggerate a bit to deceive him to come
inside? For example, you tell him we’re badmouthing him behind his back."
That was exactly what Jaden was planning. He was not embarrassed when his plan was exposed and
he smiled. "There’s nothing else we could do besides this, right?"
In fact, Boyce did not say no. They were incompatible with Declan in the first place after all. He just
asked it for fun.
"Well, then, thank you for your help," Boyce said.
Jaden pointed at the door. "Should I go now?"
Boyce looked at Matthew and asked, "Now?"
Matthew did not want to waste a lot of time there. He asked him to go right now. Jaden asked someone
to send wine and fruit plates. He then went to the suite next door to coax Declan.
They sat down on the sofa. Matthew said something out of topic, "Did you see the news?"
Boyce was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted and asked, "Is it the news about you and Miss
Flores in the mall?"
"Yes." Matthew filled his glass with wine.
"Are you going to have a wedding and disclose Miss Flores’s identity?" Boyce still knew Matthew well,
and that must be what he meant.
He expressed his opinion. "I think it's necessary. Besides those close to you, the outsiders don't know
much about your private life. This incident has also attracted a lot of attention. There are many
suspicions about Miss Flores’s identity and some bad comments. Miss Flores might not care, but the
two children are getting older and it’s not so good to let them see it."
Matthew smiled, but did not speak. Instead, he put a glass of wine in front of him. Boyce realized
something and seemed to have a clue.
"Does that mean we’re about to attend your wedding ceremony?" Boyce picked up the glass of wine.
Matthew clinked a glass with him and seemed to have admitted. "Yeah, so what do you think?"
Boyce was about to drink and he was baffled by his question. "What?"
"Are you going to keep on staying single?" He was now successful in his career and had been busy
about his work all day. He was not in a hurry for marriage.
"I haven't met the right one." Boyce was also very helpless. "Why don't I go on a blind date? Aren't
there many blind date websites now? I'll register an account and see if there's a suitable one."
Matthew looked up at him, speechless. Was that reliable?
"I’ll suggest you wait." He really did not have high hopes against online dating.
Boyce will suffer a lot of losses if he meets those who cheat for money and sex again.
Boyce did not continue and he asked, "Have you fixed the wedding date? Where are you going to
organize the wedding?"
Matthew initially wanted to find a place Dolores liked, but considering her health and the two children, it
would be better to be in China.
"May 18." The fortune-teller Jayden saw claimed that that day was suitable for marriage.
"Isn't that happening soon?" Boyce said. It was already May.
At that time, there was a dark shadow looming at the door gap of the suite. Both of them had paid
attention to the door when they talked. They clearly noticed someone, but they pretended they did not
know.
That was because they knew who was eavesdropping at the entrance.
Boyce started the topic first, and he deliberately shouted, "I didn't expect that that John Kinney knows a
lot about Declan."
"What information did they get from him?" Matthew leaned back on the sofa and asked listlessly.
Declan, who was clinging to the door eavesdropping concentrated.
Boyce kept a straight face. He looked sneaky but he did not intend to lower his voice at all, as if he
feared that the one outside the door would not hear him. "He said that there had been a murder in
Declan's nightclub and a young lady died. The news was almost spread out at that time, but his boss
suppressed it. He’s also told us where the young lady's hometown is. I’ve sent someone there, they
would all be our witnesses afterwards."
After that, he chuckled and said incredulously, "How could that guy be such a coward when he’s still
considered someone important around Declan? He admitted everything when we beat him up. Now
that he’s gone back and worked undercover for us, I wonder whether we could find out more proof
about Declan violating the law."
