”Don’t worry, Ms. Carter. Guests of The Oasis have absolute privacy, so any confidential matters we discuss here will never be leaked out,” Seamus declared confidently. He felt proud to be able to mention the name ‘The Oasis.’Actually, Faye was not as calm as she tried to appear. In fact, she was still quite shocked after hearing about the 750 thousand dollar membership registration fee. This was because Seamus’s guess was right. Although Faye had become the chairman of Neotech, she had not earned that much money herself. Therefore, in terms of status, she was nothing extraordinary. “I’m sorry for having to make you spend this much.” Faye had to struggle to remain calm, especially since she was now a chairman. It would be unbecoming if she were to behave like a country bumpkin after personally coming out to conduct a business meeting. Doing so could cause her to lose her advantage during their negotiations.“It’s nothing at all.” Seamus suddenly looked directly at Faye and said wi
When Seamus heard that, his face instantly shifted and darkened. “What on earth is ‘a last minute upgrade’? What do you mean by that?!”This turn of events had left Seamus extremely disgruntled. ‘The only reason I brought Faye to The Oasis was so that I could properly show off in front of her and get her to fall for me. Now, this guard is telling me I’m not eligible to enter the place? What kind of sick joke is this?!‘Plus, I went through all that blood, sweat, and tears working to pay 750 thousand dollars to purchase their membership.’When Faye heard what the guard had said, she had a strange expression on her face.Faye was no fool either, so she certainly knew Seamus was trying to impress her by driving all the way to The Oasis and declaring how great the place was and how there were many famous people who were members the entire journey. As it was, she did not pay much attention to any of it since she did not care where they were conducting their business meeting.When she h
Seamus’s voice was quite loud, so the guards had heard him. However, none of them seemed to pay any attention to his rancor. In fact, the previous guard’s lips twisted into a scowl.Soon after, a chubby middle-aged man strode out from the entrance and asked with a frown, “What’s happening here?”The previous guard quickly detailed the entire situation. When the middle-aged man was done hearing his explanation, he knew what he had to do as he looked at Seamus with a smile on his face. He walked forward and said, “Good day, Mr. Collins…”Seamus immediately waved his hand and interrupted him as he said, “Mr. Layton, say no more. I’m a Golden Black member, a prestigious VIP guest who you personally registered. Yet, your guard here has just stopped me from entering and made me embarrass myself in front of my business partners. How do you propose we resolve this?”Seamus was unable to conceal his anger when he spoke and sounded quite aggressive.Mr. Layton appeared slightly aggrieved as
If one of the core directors of The Oasis was to see that white card, they would definitely treat the card holder with the highest respect!This was a card only available to the highest-level members, completely unlike the most common Golden Black membership card that Seamus had.Truth be told, Zayn was once a core member of the Larsons, plus he was the biological grandson of Connor Larson, the founder of The Oasis. Given all that, how could he not have a prestigious position?As he stood behind them, Zayn was not sure whether he should make an appearance when he saw Seamus being humiliated. Mr. Layton’s words had instantly rendered Seamus speechless. ‘I can’t possibly fork out another 750 thousand dollars to become a Golden Amethyst member. Regardless of whether it’s worthwhile or not, I can’t get out that much money right now. D*mn it, if I’d known this would happen, I wouldn’t have brought Faye here to show off. In the end, not only have I failed to impress, I’ve even gone and
He wore a smile but if one looked closely, his smile was wry and his sad eyes were filled with longing…Seeing him come over, there was a bit of a change on Faye’s face. After a few seconds, she finally lifted her head and flashed a smile. “Yeah, I’m doing fine. You? How have you been?”“Mmm, I’ve been well too.”Anyone smart enough would have immediately noticed that their conversation was quite odd.The expression of the secretary standing beside was interesting. She was curious and nosy, thoroughly scrutinizing Zayn. Faye obviously knew him personally.After the simple exchange of greetings, what came next was awkward silence. Neither of them knew what to say.Seamus noted the dissonance and unusual tension between Zayn and Faye. Narrowing his eyes, his loathing for Zayn grew.Seamus had already chosen Faye as his target. He was going to get his hands on her regardless, but Zayn’s appearance had become his biggest threat.His eyes flitted about as his mind rapidly tried to c
This Seamus Collins had quite the grip. He was more powerful than the usual bunch.Before Zayn countered, he felt a little pain but that was all. Zayn was rather confident when it came to hand and arm strength. It was not just ordinary guys like Seamus, even muscle-bound gym rats were no match for Zayn’s current capabilities. He could take them all down easily.Zayn had not wanted to make things difficult for Seamus as he had already divorced Faye. There was no reason for him to interfere with Faye’s choice in friends, as long as the person did not harbor malicious intentions toward her.What was happening now, however, was Seamus challenging him directly. It made no sense for him to back down.Hence, after a momentary surprise, Zayn returned the favor.As for Seamus, he smirked after shaking hands with Zayn, absolutely certain he could crush Zayn and embarrass him. He was incredibly confident about his grip strength. He looked more studious than athletic, but he actually clocked
“Oh, is that the case?” Zayn nodded. “I’m a member of The Oasis. I can take you both in. Would you like to go together?”Before Faye could say anything, Seamus chuckled. “Haha, Mr. Larson, are you kidding me? Do you know what The Oasis is? Only the wealthiest of the wealthy are allowed entry. Member registration costs 750 thousand dollars! Furthermore, there’s an upgrade this week, so only Golden Amethyst cardholders with 1.5 million dollars and above can enter. You aren’t telling me that you have a Golden Amethyst Card, are you?”Seamus’s tone was brimming with mockery and taunt. He did not like Zayn, and the incident just now only deepened his distaste for him. He would die to see Zayn being embarrassed in public right now, just so he could salvage his image in Faye’s eyes.Faye snapped back to reality as well. This was The Oasis where even the basic membership cost 750 thousand dollars. How could Zayn have that much money?“I don’t have a Golden Amethyst card, that’s for sure…”
Zayn was rarely an exhibitionist, but today, he felt very much like one in front of Faye. He wanted Faye to look at him with a renewed gaze and even regret the divorce from him.His mentality was kind of childish and petty, but he really was unable to let his feelings go. There had been times when he wondered if Faye had ever regretted it…Now that he had the chance, Zayn refused to let it go—even when he knew that it seemed meaningless for him to do it.Faye stomped her foot, miffed. Zayn was such a conceited fella who was always this annoying and creating trouble for her.On her way here, she found out what type of setting The Oasis was. The lowest-ranked membership, which was Golden Black, cost 750 thousand dollars, whereas Golden Amethyst that was a rank higher was worth more than 1.5 million dollars. What in the world…?This was no investment or necessary expenditure. This was just a club for leisure which also meant that members who could afford that much money were at least
