Chapter 130 – A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love

Filed To Story: A Second Chance with My Billionaire Love

She smiled in satisfaction. “This place isn’t too shabby. I think we should definitely come here more often. Having Ms. Lee on the team has definitely lifted a weight off my shoulders. We should celebrate…”

Flossie trailed off when she noticed Leia staring at something in the distance.

’Flossie, doesn’t that handsome guy on the dance floor look a little like your husband?” Leia tugged on Flossie’s arm and asked cautiously.

Flossie looked in the direction Leia was pointing, and to her surprise, it was indeed Halston.

Liam and Leia looked at each other worriedly, wondering how Flossie would react.

However, Flossie laughed it off. “He’s not my husband, he’s my ex-husband. Get it right, guys.”

’Boss, if you’re not comfortable with this, we can go somewhere else. Why don’t we go to-“

’Why should we go somewhere else?” Flossie interrupted indignantly, holding her head up high as she walked across the dance floor gracefully.’ This bar doesn’t belong to him. If he can be a customer here, why can’t I?”

“That’s true… We’ll just have to have more fun than he’s having!” Liam declared as he led Flossie and Leia to the table he’d reserved.

Coincidentally, their table was across from Halston’s, since they were both in the VIP section of the bar.

Christopher and Xavier noticed Flossie, and felt a little awkward, wondering whether to greet her or not.

Flossie, however, raised her glass in their direction. It was an elegant and accommodating gesture.

Christopher returned the gesture, a look of excitement in his eyes.

Xavier ignored Flossie and turned to look at Christopher in disbelief.” Christopher, why did you respond?”

“Xavier, what do you have against Ms. Ellsworth? She and Halston are no longer married. As the victim in their marriage, Ms. Ellsworth is a lot more gracious than she needs to be. I think she has a kind heart,” Christopher sighed.

“No way! Halston is the real victim in the marriage. He was forced to marry her. If she was so kind- hearted, she wouldn’t have blocked him!” Xavier argued.

While the two fought about who the victim in Halston and Flossie’s marriage was, Flossie started drinking.

Flossie was drinking a fruity wine that had a low alcohol percentage, which meant that it was safe for pregnant women to drink.

‘Where are your phones? Come on, let’s play!”  Flossie urged Liam and Leia impatiently. She wanted to play a mobile game that’d been very popular lately. The whole time she’d been there, she hadn’t even looked at the dance floor. It was as if she didn’t even recognize Halston…

However, Liam and Leia carefully glanced at each other.

’Flossie, do you really not care at all? You don’t have to pretend in front of us,’ Leia said hesitantly.

’Huh?” Flossie rolled her eyes. “I already said he’s my ex-husband. Why should I care?”

Flossie was completely focused on the game. “Enough talking. Let’s form a team of four and take down our enemies!”

Liam stopped talking, but he stared at her dubiously. Had Flossie really moved on? “Aren’t there only three of us? How are we going to make a team of four?”

Flossie smiled mysteriously. “Don’t worry about it… I’ll introduce you guys to a pro!”

‘What pro? Is it a guy or a girl? Is he handsome? What’s your relationship with him?’ Leia could smell gossip from a mile away, and her eyes lit up immediately.

Flossie smiled mysteriously. “It’s a guy, and yes, he’s very handsome. You know him.”

’A guy?” Liam wasn’t too happy to hearthat. “Who is he to you?” He asked, unable to hide the jealousy in his voice.

Flossie didn’t answer him. Instead, she made a call.

‘Yes, just keep walking…” Flossie said after a while on the line.

At that moment, a tall, handsome man appeared at the bar’s entrance. He had a black mask on, and his eyes were dark and calculative.

Flossie quickly stood up and waved at him. “Over here!’

Liam, Leia, and even Christopher and Xavier, all looked in the same direction.

The man walked to where Flossie was, then removed his mask.

Leia was momentarily stunned. “Isn’t he… a younger version of Halston?’

‘What do you mean? He’s nothing like that jerk. This guy’s name is Julian, and you introduced him to me as a gift. Have you forgotten?” Flossie said in annoyance.

She asked Julian to sit next to her. “Was it a long drive? Are your hands sore? I hope they’ll be okay when you play later. The four of us will have to take down the enemy’s crystal, and these two are hardly useful. It’s up to the both of us!”

Julian sat down, a cool expression on his face. Calmly, he retrieved his phone and unlocked the screen. “That’s easy.”

‘ Alright then, let’s cut the small talk and get to it!” Flossie said excitedly, and ushered everyone into the gaming zone.

Liam was initially a little jealous of this handsome guy who looked like Halston, but seeing Flossie focusing entirely on  the game with no romantic interest in the guy whatsoever, Liam didn’t ask any questions. He entered the gaming zone.

‘I have to show off my skills and win her over!’ Liam thought to himself determinedly.

The four of them, each holding their phone, began playing as if nobody else was around. It was a pretty odd sight in a bar…

Christopher and Xavier couldn’t look away from Flossie and her friends.

’Julian?” Christopher frowned, a little surprised. “The guy rarely appears in public, but he actually knows Flossie?”

Xavier was confused. “Who is Julian? Why does he look like Halston? It’s obvious that Flossie still can’t get over Halston, so she found someone who looks just like him.”

‘Of course he’d look like Halston – Halston is Julian’s uncle,” Christopher explained.

Xavier’s jaw dropped. “I never knew Halston had a nephew. He even looks so much like him! Why hasn’t Halston ever mentioned him?”

‘That’s because the Guajardo family kicked Julian’s family out. They don’t acknowledge them. However, Julian is very capable, and is a genius in developing chips. The famous chief engineer and the largest shareholder of KCL, Mr. Y, is Julian!” Christopher said softly, his eyes gleaming.

“So he’s the famous Mr. Y!” Xavier’s eyes were wide in shock.

There were plenty of rumors that Mr. Y had an ‘unusual’ relationship with Halston. In fact, some even claimed that they got married abroad.

Surprisingly, this ‘unusual’ relationship was actually a familial one.

That explained why KCL Group only supplied their chips to H Group.

These two companies had a complementary relationship. Without KCL’s chips, H Group wouldn’t have been as successful, but without H Group’s financial support, KCL wouldn’t have been able to make the technological breakthroughs they always did. Thus, they were inseparable.

’The dude looks like an extreme nerd though. He’s actually playing games with Flossie. Huh, I always thought Mr. Y was a sophisticated elite. I bet he’s only taking the credit of being KCL’s chief engineer… He probably hires someone else to do the work.” Xavier watched the four of them, still unable to associate Julian with Mr. Y.

‘A chief engineer is still human. He’d also have to eat, sleep, and do all the things we usually do. Besides, science freaks are normally gaming addicts. I’m sure you’d be surprised by his other identity…” Christopher said cryptically.
