Nolan's eyes met with that of the female receptionist of Night Shade Hotel that he was very familiar with.He saw the sudden shock and disbelief in her widened eyes. Her jaws dropped abruptly in surprise. The receptionist looked at him with a confused look as if asking: What is going on here? Why is Mr Nolan being treated like a servant? Why is he being isolated from the rest of the group and left to rot in the corner inside the private dining room all by himself?A twisted deep frown suddenly appeared on the female receptionist's face. She finally understood what was going on. She presumed that these people were looking down on Mr Nolan and treating him like a mere servant all because Mr Nolan didn't like showing off his wealth, and he's appearance was usually that of someone from a poor background with no dime to his name.But actually he was a mysterious wealthy tycoon, and a very important and powerful guest of the Night Shade Hotel that even the Knight family members bow to him

Nolan was taken aback momentarily. He recalled specifically giving Diana signals not to approach him inside the private dining room. But she persisted.He gazed down at the marvelous sight of the plates of exquisite meals and signature dishes, and a bottle of vintage red wine laid down on top of the table in front of him.Nolan quickly feigned a look mixed with confusion and shock. He eyed the waitress for a good two to three seconds, before speaking in an inquiring tone; “What are all these for?” He squinted his eyes, making a questioning look.“These are for you, sir.” Waitress Diana said elegantly, with a tinge of pleasantness evident in her tone. “The hotel wanted you to have these.” She added with a polite smile plastered across her lips.“But I didn't order anything.” Nolan remained her. He wanted to make sure that she wasn't making any mistakes or something. Of course, this was just him putting up an act in front of everyone. He didn't want to reveal his true identity to Jessic

In the private dining room that Tyler Stone had reserved for his birthday party, inside the Night Shade Hotel.Tyler returned to the private room. He settled down on his previous chair with a suspicious smile plastered on his lips, giving him a playful presence.This suspicious action left the group in awe and wonder. They couldn't shake off the feeling that something might've happened to Tyler to trigger such an unexpected reaction from him. Prior to his departure from the private dining room, he'd been overwhelmed with a fierce fury and a profound hatred, all aimed towards Nolan for stealing the spotlight from him and the waitress that made him look like a complete fool before everyone.The group had just finished downing their meal, leaving a great deal of leftovers on their plates on the table.“Did something happen? You look very excited and high-spirited, Tyler.” Kevin couldn't hold back his curiosity so he decided to satisfy his curiosity by asking.Tyler turned his head slight

After downing another gulp of water, Nolan set the glass on the wooden table and leaned back into the chair quietly. His mind drifted to the topic of their conversation.A long time ago, Nolan had promised not to shed blood again. For five years he'd trained himself to become this version of himself. That didn't mean that he wouldn't throw a few fists when left with no option.Thinking back to what Jessica's father had asked. Was he really sure he could protect her? Nolan didn't doubt his strength, but what if fighting peacefully can't resolve the matter completely.What if it was a necessity for blood to be shed in order for peace to reign.If it came down to it, he would have no choice but to completely destroy the Kingston family in order for Jessica to regain the peace she longed for, and for him to fulfill his promise to her.Nolan shut his eyes close, the topic of the conversation between the group sitting on the round table reached his ears. They were talking about different b

Inside the private dining room was bustling with activities. The men were drinking amongst themselves while they chatted casually.Some of them were already showing signs of tipsiness. They were growing drunk by the second. Tyler Stone was enjoying himself in a carefree manner. What was there to be bothered about? Soon he'd become the hero in the room, and everyone would start looking up to him as they did before. A grin unknowingly plastered on his face as he took another sip of wine from his glass.Tyler savored the bittersweet taste of the wine, as his eyes drifted towards where Nolan was resting. The latter's eyes were shut tightly as if he was meditating or probably taking a nap.Tyler suddenly had a plan. He was going to invite a seed of hatred in the hearts of others towards Nolan. So that when the ultimate plan is set in motion everyone would support his judgement of letting Nolan be taught a lesson.“What's this? Are we too trashy for a mere bodyguard to hang around with? L
