204: Chapter 204

Chapter 204

Henry took out his phone and handed it to Mindy, "Give me your phone number, I'll call you later once I get a suitable position for you."1

Mindy quickly typed her phone number and handed the phone back to Henry. 

She was glad that she could get a job simply by becoming a love counselor for her ex-boyfriend. It gave her a sense of accomplishment that she helped a man in his first pursuit of love. 

"Thanks in advance for helping me, Boss," Mindy said half-jokingly. "When I know that you're going to be the guest of this VIP room, I thought that I have to face an ass who would fuck any woman without a sliver of love in him. But you've changed, or maybe your fiance changed you."

Henry smiled, "I think both. She changed me, and I willingly changed for her. Which is funny, because I thought no woman could change me before I met her."

Mindy shrugged, "Well, that's just how love works. When you fall in love with someone, you're going to twist your body into a new shape just to fit her preference, and she will do the same for you as well."

"You're right, and now I want to meet her again," Henry said. "I want to apologize for being immature when we had a fight before."

He slapped his knee as he got up from the sofa. He was about to grab his phone and car key and leave, but when he saw the thunderstorm from the window, he stopped.

Mindy followed him behind and said, "I think you should just wait back in the VIP room until the thunderstorm subsides. I mean, I think your fiance also needs her own time, right? Come on, Boss, I can pour you another whiskey."

Henry stared at the window for a while and sighed.

Mindy was right.

They needed time alone. Maybe Henry should've just spent his night in the hotel after this and returned when they were ready to talk it out tomorrow morning.

He knew that Kate must've been stressed out because of him.

Thus, Henry turned around and returned to the VIP room, drinking iced whiskey with Mindy.

Kate was anxious.

She kept staring at the glass pane where flashes of lightning followed by rambling thunderstorms raged outside.

She didn't know where Henry was, she tried calling him nonstop, but none of her calls went through. Either he turned off his phone, or his phone battery died.

"Or maybe… he gets into an accident and his phone has been destroyed…" Kate didn't like to think about bad things because she thought it might bring bad luck. But at the same time, she couldn't stop worrying about Henry.

He left in an awful state after their fight, so she was worried that his mood might make him do something rash like speeding up on a slippery road and crashing straight into the open ocean—.

"Oh God, I better stop before I get crazy!" Kate yelled at herself. 

She tried texting and calling Henry to no avail, and Michael was uncontactable when she blasted his phone a few hours ago.

So she tried calling Michael again because he was the one who knew Henry's whereabouts right now. 

Kate thought that Michael wouldn't pick up the call again, but the call surprisingly connected, and Kate soon realized that Michael had been sleeping the whole time, just listening to him yawning.

—

"Pardon me, Ma'am. Is there any problem?" Michael asked as he rubbed his eyes. He slept comfortably because of a thunderstorm, so he panicked when he saw how many times his boss' wife blasted his phone.

"Michael, do you know which bar Henry visits often?"

Michael frowned. He soon regained consciousness and asked, "There are two bars he often visits, The Bahamas, a bar near his current apartment, and Spyre 80, a bar downtown. It's an exclusive bar that's only accessible with a membership," Michael replied. "Ma'am, please tell me if there is any problem. So I can help."

Kate initially didn't want to tell Michael about this problem, thinking it was personal stuff between Henry and her.

But then she realized that Michael might've had more information regarding Henry than her since he had been friends with Henry since they were young. 

So she told the truth, "We had a fight about Graham about two hours ago, and he left to cool off. He said that he's going to get a drink in a bar, but I don't know where it is."

Kate stared at the thunderstorm from the glass pane, and her anxiety heightened, "We're currently having a severe thunderstorm. I don't know what is happening with him since I can't reach his phone. I'm afraid he'll try to go home when he's half drunk during a severe thunderstorm."

"Oh God, I'm panicking again," Kate said as her heart felt stuffy.

"Ma'am, calm down, take a deep breath," Micheal said. "Mr. Grant is not a careless person when driving, he won't drive alone when he's drunk in a severe thunderstorm."

"But I can't just rest like this, Michael," Kate insisted. "Anyway, thank you for telling me bar names, The Bahamas and Spyre 80, right? I will drive with my car, good bye, Michael."

Kate was about to hang up when Michael stopped her, "WAIT, MA'AM!"

"W—What?" 

"We're in a severe thunderstorm right now! It's very dangerous to drive!" Michael said. He raised his voice because he panicked, thinking Kate would be reckless enough to drive alone now.

"I can't just leave him alone, Michael! What if Henry's in danger? I don't want him to get hurt!"

Michael didn't want to get involved in the fight between these two because he knew what caused the fight.

But he was tasked with protecting Kate from harm. It would be a disaster if Kate drove alone during a thunderstorm with improper car tires,  "Just stay in the apartment, Ma'am. I will pick you up and drive you to search for Mr. Grant, okay?"
