Chapter 47: Flying overseas for work
Kai looked back at Ian with a chill in his eyes. After staring at him for a few seconds, he opened his mouth and pointed at the two beauties that were accompanying Ian;
"Send them away." The meaning was evident. He didn't want to see them around. Would Ian dare disobey him? He quickly whispered something to the two beauties who then reluctantly left. However, Kai's actions just now shocked the two men Ian and Blake to the core, wasn't he always enthusiastic about playing around with girls? Did that girl not suit his palate this time? That must be it, otherwise, there was no other reason they could come up with. Since Kai didn't want to tell them, they didn't dare probe further. They knew that Kai never liked to talk about his problems, he would usually suffer in silence, no matter how much they advised him to talk to them when he experienced problems, he would never tell them. It was also this acts of his that made the two friends of his feel heartache for him. Fortunately, they would always stick to him through thick and thin, that way, even though they didn't understand his pain, they would always be there for him. They would always show support through their actions. Of course, Kai wasn't blind to their good will. He always made a mental note to treat them the same way.
It was only after the three beauties were driven away that Kai felt like he could breathe again. Even he himself didn't know what exactly was wrong with him. At that moment, when Lomesa's figure flashed past his mind, he inexplicably felt guilty without knowing why. At that moment, he felt as though he was ...cheating? This thought came and disappeared at the quickest speed possible. However, he was sure that something was wrong with his thought process. Otherwise, why would he be comparing a club beauty to that underaged girl? The beauty in the club was clearly much to his taste, however, to his dismay, he actually felt disgusted, was that a normal thing? It didn't seem like it. At that Moment, Kai decided to experiment something the following day. He wanted to look for a beauty to satisfy his needs. He really hoped tonight's incident was an illusion he created in his mind, otherwise, he didn't know what he would make out of the situation incase such a thing recurred to him. Inwardly, he hoped it wasn't as he thought.
Ever since the beauties left, it became lively again. The three best friends chatted and laughed about everything randomly. Their youthful auras could be seen everywhere in the club. People couldn't help but look at them from time to time. Even though Kai was in a mask, the noble aura he emanated was enough to make People feel intimidated. They kept trying to guess the reason why he was in a mask. Could it be because he had a hideous scar on his face and felt ashamed to walk bare faced? That was probably the case.
Kai's face would have darkened in anger had he heard the speculations of these people. However, he didn't care about anything. Instead, he focused on drinking with his friends. By the time they were done, the two of his friends wrre so drunk that they were sprawled on the table as though they had nothing to live for. Kai took in all their actions and pinched the area between his brows in frustration. Fortunately, he had come with enough bodyguards. Kai called two of the bodyguards whom Ian and Blake had come with and instructed them to carry the two guts into their respective cars and drive them home. After making sure that they had left safely, Kai also got into his own car and drive off. Kai had a high alcohol tolerance, thus, he wasn't drunk at all, after all, had two glasses of wine. Moreover, as the most rational one among them, he naturally had to look out for his brothers. After packing his car, Kai entered his villa and immediately took a shower, he was a clean freak after all. Moreover, when that beauty in the club had come into contact with him deliberately, she had left on his shirt a very strong perfume, it made Kai feel like puking. He immediately threw the shirt in the trash can and went to shower.
In Ryan's Manor, after Allison entered, he found that Ryan was packing. He seemed to be in a hurry.
"Hey, what's the rush, where are you going?" Alkuson plopped himself on the couch and asked Ryan.
"I just received a call from my superior.He wants me to fly overseas tonight to go and operate on someone the following day." Ryan explained with the sigh. Sometimes, he felt that being a neuro surgeon was really tiring. However, he did not regret taking this profession. It was something he had dreamt of taking ever since he was young. Since he wanted the profession, he definitely had to bear the consequences that came with it too.
"Oh, when will you come back?" Allison asked again. It wasn't that he was impatient, he just wanted to know when he would pay Ryan a visit again. He didn't want to make a wasted trip .
"Don't know, perhaps in three week's time?" Ryan shrugged abd said in exasperation. He was also frustrated. He was going to be away from his own country, but they failed to tell him how long he was going to stay overseas, who would like such a feedback? No one, right?
"Alright, you'll tell me when you get back." Allisok said. He could understand his friend's plight. Especially of it involved matters patriotism. There's no one who didn't love their country, how could they hear to part with it for so long, worse more, with no exact date of returning? it was enough to make someone anxious.
"Alright." Ryan said and zipped his suitcase. Allison offered to drive him to the airport. Ryan didn't turn him down. Thus, Allison chose not to tell Ryan about the photos he took of Emma. This is because Allison knew his buddy really well. If he brought up that topic at a critical juncture like that, he was sure that Ryan would cancel the flight just to get to the bottom of the matter. He knew how much Ryan liked his current professional, he didn't want him to lose his job because of such matters. He decided o tell him when he returned. That was why he asked him to call the moment he got back from overseas. He was afraid that Ryan would suspect the motive for his visit today. Fortunately, he didn't suspect anything, that was because he was so focused on the trip that he forgot about such an important matter.
In country Z, Wendy had just finished his punishment so she was going back to the dormitory. As she walked, she kept limping. That was because, she made to kneel for three hours on concrete, how could she not have any abrasions and other injuries because of it?

She was sure that her best friendwas worried the entire time, the phone call she made today clearly confirmed her speculations.
