Chapter 291: Chapter 291: He Has a Girlfriend
Ashley Shaw looked at Xavier Quincy in surprise.
Leo has a girlfriend now?
Does that mean she has a sister-in-law now?
Xavier Quincy’s gaze passed over Ashley Shaw’s shoulder and looked at the person speaking—
Warren Prescott had a smile on his face, saying, "Leo, why didn’t you bring your sister-in-law back?"
Warren rarely calls Xavier "Leo," and today not only did he call him "Leo," but also mentioned "sister-in-law."
Having known Warren for so long, how could Xavier Quincy not understand the reason?
It seems his intuition was right, Warren’s feelings for Ashley have gone from liking to disliking, and now from disliking back to liking.
Xavier Quincy pulled at his lips and said, "That was a long time ago, we’ve already broken up."
"A long time ago?" Warren stared at Xavier and said, "I remember when I called you last time to ask about the flight date, I still heard your sister-in-law’s voice. I remember...it was already midnight on your side, wasn’t it?"
Young men and women, being together at midnight, what could they be doing?
Everyone present, especially the guys, showed their understanding with knowing looks.
Xavier Quincy calmly said, "I was working overtime that day, that was a colleague."
"Oh..." Warren said with a face of regret, "That’s really a shame, I thought I’d soon be attending your wedding."
Xavier Quincy pulled his lips again, then suddenly asked, "Why don’t I see Rosalind today? Are you two having a spat?"
Warren’s expression paused for a moment, then he laughed twice.
"Her? How could she be childhood sweethearts?"
With such indifference in his tone, anyone could see Warren’s dissatisfaction with Rosalind Lynch.
Everyone knew about the Lynch Family’s recent happenings.
Warren’s attitude towards Rosalind suddenly took a downturn, something that was obvious to everyone in the group.
Because of this, not one dared to invite Rosalind to tonight’s gathering.
Otherwise, wouldn’t that be courting disaster?
Now that Xavier Quincy mentioned Warren, the atmosphere on-site indeed dropped to freezing.
Xavier Quincy seemed unaffected, and passed the freshly opened yogurt to Ashley Shaw again.
"Here."
Just as Ashley Shaw was about to take it, Warren’s big hand suddenly extended and snatched the bottle of yogurt in the middle.
He shook the yogurt in his hand, leaving a comment, "Thanks, I happen to feel hot, want something cold," and turned away.
Warren’s casual mention of "cold" inadvertently reminded Xavier Quincy.
"Almost forgot, you can’t have anything cold. Let me see what else you can eat..."
"It’s fine, I’m already full, no need to look for me."
"Alright then." Xavier Quincy nodded, not continuing to fuss.
Over at the bar, Warren saw this scene and snorted coldly from his nose.
Despite having had a girlfriend before, how could he be less considerate than a single guy, actually forgetting something like this?
If Ashley Shaw had eaten that yogurt and collapsed here, whose fault would it be?
Warren scooped up a big spoon of yogurt forcefully with a yogurt spoon and stuffed it into his mouth.
Once they had eaten and drunk enough, someone proposed starting the second round.
"Shall we go to the Elite Club?"
The Elite Club is quite famous in Westcroft.
It’s a high-end club, with not only princesses but also male models.
Rich women and wealthy men love to go there.
However, there’s a rule there, no taking people home, if you want to stay overnight, you sleep in the suites upstairs at the Elite Club.
Those with girlfriends laughed it off, saying they wouldn’t go to the second round, while those without a girlfriend or without bringing a girlfriend were eager and ready to try.
Ashley Shaw, having lived two lives, knew what kind of place the Elite Club was.
She cleared her throat and said, "I’m a bit tired, I won’t go, I’ll head off first."
Xavier Quincy immediately said, "I’ll drive you back. It’s late, and it’s not safe for a young girl like you."
Warren stretched out his long arm, hooking Xavier Quincy’s neck.
Xavier Quincy was pressed by his strength, causing his back to bend slightly.
"What are you talking about, Leo? You are the main star today, what would it mean if the main star leaves?" Warren finished and glanced at others.
Again with the "Leo."
Just as Xavier Quincy was about to speak, Damian Ford, observing first and last, spoke ahead of Xavier Quincy, "Yeah, Leo, you can’t leave, this gathering was specially organized for you tonight."
Xavier Quincy pressed his lips.
"I’ll drop Ashley off and come back to find you."
Warren released the arm hooked around Xavier Quincy’s neck at this moment.
"If you’re worried, I’ll take her back. I happen to have to go back to the company, it’s on the way."
After speaking, he didn’t wait for Xavier Quincy to respond and directly walked out.
After taking a couple of steps, he noticed Ashley Shaw hadn’t moved, turning back impatiently, "Aren’t you going back? Come on."
Ashley Shaw nodded towards Xavier Quincy, "Leo, I’ll head off then. Let’s meet another day."
Xavier Quincy displayed his signature gentle smile, "No need to plan for another day, I’ll treat you to lunch tomorrow, thank you for picking me up at the airport."
"Okay." Ashley Shaw agreed, she didn’t have much to do recently anyway.
Xavier Quincy said, "I’ll send the time and place to your phone tomorrow."
"Alright, I’ll await your message."
Over there, Warren was urging again.
Ashley Shaw picked up her bag and quickly followed.
Cillian Xavier watched the two leave and spoke to Xavier Quincy after two seconds, "Leo, I’ll head off too."
Xavier Quincy, familiar with Cillian Xavier’s situation, nodded and said, "Alright, patients are important but take care of your own body too."
"I understand."
He responded, dawdled intentionally for a few minutes, and then slowly walked towards the door.
...
Outside the bar.
Warren Prescott took the car key from the bartender, hearing Ashley Shaw’s voice from behind.
"Warren, if you’re in a hurry, just go back, I can take a cab home."
Warren’s grip on the car key tightened slightly.
"Take a cab? Do you want Leo to yell at me?"
"No, I just..."
"Stop the chatter, let’s go."
Not giving her a chance to refuse, he opened the door of the car that the bartender had already parked at the entrance.
"Come on, get in the car."
Ashley Shaw pressed her lips.
Forget it, she happened to have something to discuss with Warren.
So she bent down and got into the car.
The car soon merged into the main road.
This was a bustling area, and even at this time, there were plenty of cars on the road.
Warren’s car kept switching lanes.
Ashley Shaw felt slightly uncomfortable and opened the car window.
Warren seemed to notice, stopping the lane changes, choosing one lane and driving slowly forward.
Ashley Shaw hesitated for a moment, then spoke, "You shouldn’t be taking Leo to that kind of place."
Warren’s hand holding the steering wheel paused slightly, asking, "What kind of place are you referring to?"
Ashley Shaw said, "I mean the Elite Club."
Warren curled his lips, asking again, "You think I’m leading him astray?"
Ashley Shaw shot over a "isn’t that so" kind of glance.
The corners of Warren’s mouth grew deeper, his eyes full of mockery.
"Ashley Shaw."
"?"
"Xavier Quincy’s about to turn twenty-one, you don’t think he’s still a virgin, right?"
