Chapter 1383
Chase arrived in no time. He was downstairs in less than two minutes after answering the call.
However, Chase’s attitude made Byran uncomfortable. He looked at Byran with a mocking smile and said, “Mr. Howard, your youth is enviable. I can’t remember the last time I was mistaken for a minor.”
Byran huffed grumpily. “What’s so great about being young? I wish I were thirty now! Where’s Ida? Take me to her!”
Chase shrugged and nodded as he led him toward a private room.
“Mr. Howard, I warn you. Keep your temper in check when we go in. Don’t fly off the handle.”
Byran frowned in confusion, asking cautiously, “Why would I lose my temper? What’s Ida doing in there?”
Chase gave a small smile. “You’ll see when you get in. I’m just reminding you that a mature man doesn’t lose his cool easily.”
Byran waved his hand impatiently. “Alright, alright, I got it; just take me in. Which room is it?”
Chase pointed to a private room not far away. Without any hesitation, Byran walked towards it and pushed open the door.
It was a large VIP room filled with the sweet aroma of flowers.
Looking closer, the floor was covered with petals.
The room was decorated with heart-shaped balloons and flowers.
Byran’s expression darkened, but the people in the room didn’t notice him. They were all enjoying the party.
He didn’t see Ida at first, but as he walked further in, he saw her sitting in a corner, drinking and chatting with a man.
Byran felt like a cat whose territory had been invaded. His mood instantly flared up; he was ready to explode.
However, a large hand held him by the shoulder. Chase’s voice rang in his ears. “Mr. Howard, did you forget what I just told you? A real mature man doesn’t lose his cool easily, and Ida doesn’t like men who constantly embarrass her.”
Byran composed himself, suppressed his anger, and calmed down a bit. He glared fiercely at the man and woman.
The dim lighting and noisy environment in the room meant Ida didn’t notice him. Instead, the man beside her noticed him but didn’t alert Ida; he even deliberately moved closer to her.
Byran immediately recognized the man. It was that annoying guy who was talking to Ida at the entrance of Crescent Society this morning.
After seeing them together again, looking even closer this time, Byran became really angry.
But Chase was right. He couldn’t act immature and lose his temper at the drop of a hat. That would mean he was directly losing to that annoying old
man.
He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, then turned to Chase and asked, “Who is that disgusting man? Why is Ida so into him?”
Chase smiled and said, “He’s Ida’s first love. He recently returned from abroad and wants to rekindle their old flames.”
“What?!” Byran was furious. What a shameless man! They had already broken up, and he still had the audacity to come back and rekindle their old flames?
Chase kindly reminded him again, “See these roses, balloons, and bouquets? They’re all surprises he carefully prepared for Ida.”
Byran gritted his teeth. “That’s so cheesy! Ida won’t fall for that!”
Chase laughed. “Really? I think Ida quite likes it.”
