"You should see the defeated look in her eyes. This should be the first time Mr. Phoenix Gray rejected a woman here," the bar manager said.
Diamond sighed in relief. Of course, it was Vernon's right with whom he wanted to have sex.
But she wanted the best for her new best friend, Chloe. So, if she could deliver this big package to her without a dent, that'd be great!
After she paid it, Diamond returned to her car and saw Vernon closed his eyes, seemingly asleep.
Diamond put on a seatbelt for them both, and she drove through the night in New York, heading to the Phoenix Tower. She checked Vernon repeatedly and asked, "Mr. Phoenix Gray, are you asleep?"
"… Huh? I… Chloe…" Vernon murmured that name weakly, much to Diamond's excitement.
"Okay, he's not dead yet. I hope he can stay alive until we arrive at his apartment!"
