Chapter 31 Inside the VIP Room
Eugene then added, “Since when do you talk so much nonsense?”
“I’m just complimenting this beautiful lady.”
Olivia facepalmed. She did not think that Alex was complimenting her at all.
“Actually, Mr. Nolan wants to benefit society!”
Alex laughed and said, “You’re speaking on behalf of Mr. Nolan? Let’s go then. All of his friends are upstairs. I’ll introduce them to you. You cannot refuse this. It’s either we follow you, or you follow us, okay?”
Olivia smiled. “I’ll follow Mr. Nolan and the others. I’m fine with anything.”
Alex chuckled again. “Let’s go; you three are really boring!” Upon saying this, he placed his arms on Nathan’s shoulders and went upstairs.
Meanwhile, Eugene felt helpless and said, “You don’t have to force yourself if you don’t like it. We can go to another place for dinner.”
“It’s fine. Let’s go!” Olivia replied.
Under the guidance of the waiter, they arrived at a VIP room. By the looks of it, Eugene seemed to frequent this place, for every waiter that saw him would greet him politely. “This way, President Nolan.”
Even Olivia, who was following behind him, was admired and greeted politely by the waiters. As the door was pushed open, colorful lights filled their sight. It was as if they had entered into a dreamland. The room had a unique decor with uniformed leather sofas and a large space that could accommodate more than a dozen people. There was a byobu with carvings of their national flower, and within it was another space. The space was probably where some of the poker tables, billiard tables, and other entertainment facilities were placed.
A few people who came in before them were talking and laughing. The enormous table was filled with liquor and wine while the television that was half the size of the entire wall was playing a sentimental song. The man who was standing by the side saw them coming in and waved at them with a smile before continuing to sing affectionately. “Because I’ll be someone else’s bride tomorrow, let me miss you one last time—”
Then, Alex yelled at the man, “Okay. Okay. Don’t sing anymore. Can’t you see that there’s a beautiful lady here?” Upon saying this, he looked at Eugene while the corners of his mouth showed a sinister smile; he teased, “Come on. Hurry up and give us a formal introduction!”
Eugene then proceeded to say, “Olivia Maxwell is an outstanding doctor while Alex Road is the most annoying person you’ll ever meet.”
Alex then looked at Eugene suspiciously, and with an eloquent smile, he asked, “I wonder in which area do you specialize in, Miss Maxwell? Is it psychology or physiology?”
Upon saying this, the entire crowd laughed out loud; a few of the men had presumptuous laughs. On the other hand, two women laughed cryptically but were still able to grasp the hidden meaning behind Alex’s words.
Alex looked toward the few men who had laughed out loud and shushed them. “Shush! Don’t laugh so loud. I’m asking a serious question here. Please don’t have such a dirty mind.”
Eugene glared at him and asked, “Do you want to undergo a body examination?”
Alex clicked his tongue and said, “See, can’t we have a better understanding of our own body?”
Fortunately, Olivia was someone who had a good sense of humor and was also used to meeting such dirty-minded men. Such a situation was definitely child’s play to her. The corners of her lips were raised as she smiled gently. “I’m able to cure all kinds of diseases. I wonder what type of problems do you have? Is it a psychological problem or a physiological one?”
The moment she said those words, the crowd roared out in laughter again. Several men teased, “Alex, I see you have met your stubble.”
“Do tell us. What seems to be the problem?”
“Alex, is it because you’re unable to do it?”
Alex then chastised, “F*ck! You’re the one that’s unable to do it!”
However, Olivia remained serious and asked, “Don’t hide your illness and avoid medical treatment, Mr. Road. If you have a problem, just let me know. I promise to treat you equally and will never look at you differently.”
Alex then put his hands together and begged Olivia. “I’m sorry, Olivia. I won’t make fun of you anymore.”
However, at this exact moment, another man asked, “Olivia is an all-rounded doctor. You can treat both psychological and physiological problems, so I was wondering how do you treat your patients with physiological problems? Will you treat them on the patient’s bed or a normal bed? Hahaha…”
