GoodNovelChapter 184:
“I am at the Dream Club,” Belinda replied. “What's up?”
“Stay there and wait for me. My dad toldto pick you up.” Lucas hung up before Belinda could respond.
Belinda could only stare at her phone in bewilderment.
“What's wrong?” Johnson asked as he approached Belinda, noticing her expression.
Belinda pursed her lips together and then sighed. “Lucas called asking where | was. Then, he toldto wait for
him here. Apparently, Harold told him to cand pickup.”
Johnson chuckled under his breath. “Sounds like he’s panicking now,” he commented in a teasing tone.
Belinda’s brows furrowed in confusion. “Panicking? About what?”
Johnson glanced at his watch, his lips curling into a sly smile. “Forty minutes ago, | sent him a message saying
that you're with me. Didn't take him long to call you, huh?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBelinda blinked at him in surprise. First of all, she had never expected Johnson to send Lucas such a message,
and behind her back, too! Second of all, Lucas... Was Lucas coming to get her because Harold had told him to do
so, or was it because he didn’t like her spending talone with Johnson?
“Hang on,” Johnson said as he took out his own phone and dialed Lucas’s number.
The call connected after a couple of rings. Johnson put it on speaker before saying, “Lucas! Con, man! |
asked you to cover forin front of Harold, and yet you're still coming to pick up Belinda now?”
“Sorry,” Lucas said slowly. “I only saw your message after | got my dad's call.”

Johnson smirked at the obvious excuse. He shot Belinda a mischievous look and went on to say, “Look, Lucas, do
you think you can ca bit later? Or | can just drop her off at the Clark family’s residence, and we can all meet
up there. How does that sound?”
“I'm already on my way to the Dream Club,” Lucas stated. “I'm busy with work now, Johnson. | still have
important work to do after | pick up Belinda. | can’t delay this.”
This was his way of telling Johnson to stop wasting his twith pointless negotiations.
Johnson put on an act, sighing in disappointment. “All right, then,” he said.
Lucas promptly ended the call without another word.
After the call ended, Johnson pocketed his phone and grinned at Belinda. “Do you believe he only saw my
message after he got the call from Harold?”
Belinda pursed her lips and said nothing.
“Well, I don’t,” Johnson added with a knowing glint in his eyes. “You should ask Harold about this when you get
home. See whether he really asked Lucas to pick you up, or if Lucas is just using the old man as an excuse.”
Belinda didn’t react. Her expression remained unchanged, but she did take Johnson's words to heart.
Less than half an hour later, Belinda walked out of the club and into the parking lot, where Lucas was waiting for
her in his car. She opened the car door and got in.

When Belinda heard Lucas’s question, her eyes briefly sparkled. “He’s fantastic! He is handsand comes
from a respectable family. He has a great build, and...”
Lucas cut her off before she could continue, his tone sharp. “A great build?”
