Chapter 534

"What are you looking at?" Felix Valdemar followed Blake Roland's gaze, which had landed on Isabella Langley.

"Holy shit! What are the odds? Let's find another bar." Felix immediately hid behind the menu.

This was Isabella's territory. If she spotted them, they'd get kicked out instantly.

He turned to leave when Ethan Roscente grabbed his arm. "We're staying."

Felix groaned.

Boss Ethan and Vivian Laurent—those two just couldn't escape each other no matter where they went.

Before Felix could protest, Ethan was already striding toward the VIP booth like he wanted Vivian to notice him.

Patrick Alpinus tugged Felix's sleeve. "What's going on?"

Felix jerked his chin toward the center of the room. "See the most stunning woman there? That's Boss Ethan's ex-wife."

Patrick squinted. The radiant woman stood out like a diamond among pebbles, her dazzling smile lighting up the room.

His breath caught. "I thought Mrs. Roscente was supposed to be overweight and plain?"

The graceful figure before them completely contradicted the rumors.

"Your intel's outdated." Felix suddenly ducked. "Shit, Isabella's looking this way! Cover me, man!"

"Felix, you mutt!" Isabella's heels clicked across the floor.

The nickname had stuck ever since she'd first coined it.

"Isabella! Have some decency—we're in public!" Felix bristled like a cat.

"Since when do you deserve decency? Manager! Throw these men out!"

Patrick arched an eyebrow. "History?"

"That woman's insane," Felix hissed. "I suggest we retreat immediately."

"Who's insane?" Isabella's laugh was icy. "Birds of a feather—anyone associated with Ethan Roscente is trash. Get out!"

She never played favorites, especially with Ethan's friends. One sighting meant instant expulsion.

Felix suddenly bolted toward the booth. "Vivian, save me!"

Vivian had frozen at Ethan's appearance. The shout snapped her out of it.

Felix hid behind her. "Your friend here runs a business but kicks out paying customers. What kind of hospitality is that?"

His gaze slid to Vivian's new companions. "Making friends? Why not join us? The more the merrier."

He emphasized "Vivian" loudly enough for the entire bar to hear.

Felix subtly elbowed Ethan. This was his golden opportunity to help his boss.
