A Billionaire In Disguise

Chapter Twenty-Six

The sky was moonlit and dark blue when Mr. Orlando drove in front of "XS Nightclub."

Then he looked at the v-mirror and said, "Sir, we are here."

Not responding, Rome looked at the text he sent Catherine, "Babe, I will be home a bit late today. Don't

wait for me, okay?"

After a few minutes later, he finally got a message back, "Okay. I love you."

"Love you too." Rome typed, and then he hit send.

Putting his phone back into his pocket, Rome looked at K and said, "Let's go."

"Boss, Are you sure you want to go in there? That place is chaotic and outlawed. Maybe we can get

Scar to bring her out here." K humbly said, staring at the entrance of the club.

Ignoring K's words, Rome pushed the car door open and walked over to Scar, who was standing at the

entrance of the building.

"Where is she?" Rome asked.

"She's inside." Scar said, gazing at K as he approached them.

Even though Rome was hesitant about going in, he kept a straight face and said, "Okay, let's meet her."

The moment they entered the club, the loud music instantly caused Rome to frown, annoyed by how

earsplitting the sound was, and the smoky, hazy dim atmosphere made him uncomfortable.

But he shoved his hands into his jacket pocket and followed Scar closely with K two steps behind him.

When they reached a robust guy with a tattooed body and piercings on his nose and ear, Scar stopped,

looked up at his face, and said, "Hey, Joe. Can you arrange another meeting with Natasha for me

again?"

"It seems like you enjoyed the first meeting," Joe said with a cocky smirk. "Tonight will be a bit costly

since you are not alone."

Then he looked at K and asked, "Who's your friend?"

At that moment, his gaze swayed towards Rome, and when he saw the hoodie covering Rome's face,

his expression grew cold as he said, "Also, why's the other one hiding his identity?"

When Scar didn't reply, Joe scowled and said, "Ask him to take off the hoodie, or the deal is off."

"I will pay triple the amount of our first deal." Scar casually uttered.

It got silent for a moment. Then Joe sniffed and said, "Fine. Follow me."

For a moment, he scowled at Rome before walking off, and Scar followed him with K and Rome just a

few steps behind.

A couple of minutes later, they arrived in a private room, and then Joe looked at Scar and said, "Make

yourselves comfortable. I will get the girl."

Afterward, Joe left the room, and Rome stared around the place for a moment before sitting on the red

couch.

Then he looked at K and Scar, standing in defensive positions, and commanded, "You two, sit!"

"But, boss, isn't that a bit risky. We can't let our guard down at such a place." K protested.

"If Natasha walks in here and sees you guys like that, she will feel like she's in a hostile situation which

could make her not want to trust us or speak. Is that what you want to happen?"

Without responding, K hesitated for a moment. Then he took a seat beside Rome, and so did Scar.

A couple of minutes went by in silence, and when Scar began to feel like Natasha wouldn't come, the

door opened, and a young-looking girl walked into the room.

The moment Rome's gaze rested on her, he immediately looked the other way and said, "K, give her

your coat."

"What?" Natasha mumbled beneath her breath, feeling shocked by his words.

Obediently, K took off his coat and handed it over to Natasha, and even though she was shocked and

confused by that, she accepted it.

"Is this a prank or something? Didn't you call me in here to dance for you guys?" Natasha muttered as

she stared at Rome and then at the coat.

"Can you wear it, please?" Rome gently intoned.

Feeling even more confused, Natasha wore the coat and buttoned it up.

At that moment, her gaze unintentionally rested on Scar, and a look of fear clouded her eyes as she

said, "It's you again! What are you doing back here! I told you to stay away from me! I got nothing else

to say to you!"

"Can you calm down, please," Rome said, turning his focus back on her.

The way that Rome spoke to her had Natasha a bit shocked and humble because she wasn't used to

her clients treating her with respect.

"What do you want?" Natasha asked in a calmer tone

"I want to know why you received such a huge sum of money from Earl," Rome said, studying her face.

"What? How di… did y-ou kn-ow. Who are you!"

"I know that you are a very busy woman at this hour, so why don't we skip the unnecessary questions

and just tell me the answer to my question, uh?"

It got silent as Natasha darted her eyes left and right, striving to hide her fear and tears.

Then she focused on the space between Rome and her and mumbled, "The money was a tip, okay?

Now can you all please leave?"

"Earl gave you such a huge amount of money as a tip?" Rome asked, not buying a word she had

uttered.

Realizing what she said, Natasha hastily shook her head and shakingly intoned, "No, his assistant did.

I have no dealings with James Earl, and he and I have never met or interacted before."

When Rome didn't speak, Natasha became even more nervous, and she unintentionally bit her nail.

"Did he hurt you?" Rome boldly said, looking into her wet eyes.

Immediately, Natasha froze with a blank expression on her face. Then she slowly swallowed and said,

"No. No, he didn't. Now, please leave."

In that instant, there was a knock on the door, and then Joe's voice echoed into the room, "You guys'

time is up with the girl."

"I need more time with her. Name the price, and I will pay." Rome called out without taking his eyes off

Natasha's darting gaze.

"If you want more time, you have to wait for her to get done with the other customer. Then you can

apply for her again. That's the rule."

"I don't have the luxury to wait for that long, so can you make an exception?"

"I wish. But Rookie is not a very patient man, so the girl has to come with me."

A shiver ran down Natasha's spine to know that Rookie was the one requesting for her. Then she

looked at Rome, and her breathing got a bit swallowed as she tried to stay calm.

But he saw the fear in her eyes, and he knew that she was scared to meet this Rookie.

"Boss, I think we should leave," K mumbled.

"Tell Rookie that Natasha wouldn't be dancing for him tonight because I just booked her for the entire

night." Rome coldly said.

Frowning, K hesitated for a moment and then said, "What are you doing, boss? We should be messing

with this."

"Right, boss. Rookie is bad news, and he doesn't play fair in a fight. Maybe, we should stay out of this."

Scar said.

At that moment, Joe's angry voice echoed into the room, "Rookie doesn't like to be told what he can or

can't do. So for your sake, I asked that you let the girl walk out and leave here before things go south!"

Ignoring everyone's remark, Rome looked at Natasha and said in a low tone, "Do you want to meet Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

Rookie?"

Without any hesitation, Natasha shook her head as she fought back her tears.

"Tell Rookie that tonight, he's going to get told what to do, and he has to follow my orders." Rome

loudly said in a cold tone.
