Helen leaned close to Emily’s ear and whispered in her conspiratorial tone, “Of course, they’ve been handpicked just for you. Every single one of them is carefully selected. They’re as pure as they come. They have never dated anyone before, pure in every sense!
“You’ve been stuck seeing too few men. Only Justin and Sean. This time, I’m broadening your horizons!” Helen added with a mischievous grin, her eyes twinkling with playful intent.
“You were just trying to set me up with Sean just a few days ago,” Emily said, puzzled.
“I’m on your side! Sean or anyone else, it doesn’t matter, as long as you like them,” Helen said with a wink. ” Once you meet more guys, you’ll figure out your type!”
She tugged Emily to sit on the sofa, and soon, a group of young, eager men surrounded them, all vying for attention.
Drinks began piling up in front of Emily. Given her situation, she knew she shouldn’t drink, but the constant coaxing left her little choice. She reluctantly picked up a low–alcohol drink and sipped it lightly.
The men, full of youthful energy, soon had the room buzzing with excitement.
In the hallway, a slightly tipsy man spotted William stationed outside a private room. Recognizing him as Justin’s bodyguard, he pushed open the door without much thought
Inside, he was met with the sight of a group of young men surrounding two stunning women, laughing and having fun. The man froze, clearly having walked into the wrong room.
Snapping back to his senses, he quickly put on an apologetic smile.
“Sorry, wrong room,” he said, closing the door behind him.
Double–checking the room number, he realized it wasn’t his group’s private room. Shaking his head and chuckling at his mistake, he continued down the hallway, eventually finding the right room.
He entered, plopped onto the sofa, and casually wrapped an arm around his girlfriend sitting next to him.
Justin and Zac were seated at the center of the room, deep in conversation with a few young wealthy men. Several women lingered nearby, pouring drinks.
As the man watched Justin sipping his drink and chatting, he couldn’t help but think about the bodyguard he had seen earlier. Something didn’t add up.
“Justin, did your personal bodyguard quit? If you don’t need him anymore, send him my way. My old man’s been looking for someone good,” he asked, his breath heavy with alcohol.
“Quit?” someone else chimed in. “No way. Justin treasures that bodyguard. He’s not easy to replace.”
“I don’t know,” the man replied. “I just saw your bodyguard standing outside another private room, guarding it. I thought it was our room, so I walked in.”
“Did you fire William?” Zac turned to Justin, his tone laced with surprise.
Everyone in their circle knew Justin had an exceptionally skilled personal bodyguard, rumored to have been acquired from overseas.
While people were aware of the bodyguard’s existence, only a select few close to Justin actually knew William’s

name.
Justin frowned. Hadn’t he sent William to take Emily home!
The man continued, “I swear, I thought it was our room. I walked in without thinking. It was embarrassing as hell.”
“What? Did you walk in on someone in action?” another wealthy young man teased, a sly smirk on his face.
“Get out of here! Your mind is so filthy!” the man retorted.
But the chatter in the room quieted as everyone grew curious.
“There were two gorgeous women in there,” the man finally said, smirking. “They were surrounded by a bunch of young guys, clearly having a good time.”
He pulled his girlfriend closer and continued, “I’m telling you, women these days know how to have fun better than men! They gathered a group of young studs and were picking their favorites!”
Pausing, he glanced at Justin and added, “One of them looked a lot like your girl. You know, the one with the same last name as yours.”
Zac turned to Justin with wide eyes, clearly intrigued.
