Wendy knew Stanley would never approve of Halsey getting involved with Dwight .
Wendy raised an eyebrow , clearly irritated . “ Mr. Hawk , you’re really overstepping , What does Halsey’s business have to do with you ? ”
Stanley shot her a sharp look . “ Had enough fun ? If you’re done , I’ll take you home . ”
With that , Stanley grabbed Wendy’s slender arm and started pulling her away .
Cecelia called out from behind , “ Wendy ! Mr. Hawk ! ”
Dwight had gone backstage to change . He didn’t come to this place often , but he had to admit – it was incredibly profitable .
He had pulled off his torn white tank top and was about to slip into a black hoodie when the door behind him suddenly opened .
Dwight’s piercing gaze darted to the intruder . “ Who’s there ? ”
Halsey , having followed him in , was startled to find Dwight standing there topless .
Her pale face flushed bright red , and she immediately covered her face with both hands , letting out a small gasp .
Dwight quickly pulled the hoodie over his head , grabbed his bag , and turned to leave . He wasn’t planning on speaking to Halsey ; he treated her like she was invisible .
But Halsey stepped right in front of him . “ Are you going to pretend you don’t know me ? ”
Dwight paused , his voice cold . “ Move . ”
Halsey didn’t budge .
He moved left , and she followed . When he moved right , she mirrored . No matter what he did , she kept blocking
his way .
She placed her hands on her hips , a defiant look on her face . “ I’ll move after you talk to me . ”
Dwight’s patience snapped . He reached out , grabbed her by the collar of her shirt , and , with ease , yanked her aside like she weighed nothing .
Halsey , now dangling a few inches off the ground , wondered whether he was even human . His strength was mind- boggling .
Dwight dropped her and walked out the door .
Halsey quickly scrambled to her feet and chased after him . Dwight’s tall , commanding figure was already lost in the crowd .
“ Dwight ? Dwight , wait up ! ” Halsey called , pushing her way through .
Dwight wasn’t interested in wasting any more time with Halsey . He didn’t want to get involved with her . At this hour , he was ready to go home .
Just as he stepped outside the bar , a sleek , luxury car was waiting for him . Several well – trained bodyguards in black suits blocked his path .

“ Hello , sir . Ms. Lohan would like to meet with you . ”
A wealthy woman had tracked Dwight down and now insisted on meeting him .
Dwight’s face remained stoic . “ I’m not interested . ”
One of the bodyguards smiled . “ Ms. Lohan said if you’re not willing to meet her , she’ll settle for meeting your family . She can find them easily enough . ”
Dwight stopped in his tracks .
The bodyguard continued , “ It’s an honor for someone like Ms. Lohan to take an interest in you . If you serve her well , you’ll never have to worry about money again . You won’t even have to lift a finger . So , young man , you should cherish this opportunity . ”
With that , the bodyguard opened the car door . “ Get in . ”
Dwight’s eyes flashed with coldness , but he still climbed into the car .
The car sped off .
Halsey had been watching from a distance and immediately spotted Dwight getting into the car . Without a second thought , she hailed a cab . “ Follow that car in front of us , and make it quick . ”
Half an hour later , Dwight was dropped off at the presidential suite of a six – star hotel , where a woman in her forties , still beautifully maintained and full of charm , was waiting for him .
Her name was Penny Lohan .
Penny looked Dwight up and down with approval , her lips curling into a satisfied smile . “ You always wore a mask before , so I couldn’t see your face . I didn’t expect you to be so handsome . ”
