Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

"Mrs. Qi? Are you still there?" The secretary asked anxiously as she didn't hear a response.

"I am. You were saying that he kept calling my name?" Jean was surprised that Zed would ask for her in a situation like this. She bit her lip and waited for the secretary to verify as Jean was unsure about what she had heard.

"Yes. Mrs. Qi. Could you please come get Mr. Qi now? He keeps asking for you, " the secretary had no choice except to ask Jean to pick Zed up since he was too drunk to call Jean and speak with her. The secretary had tried to settle him, but when she failed to calm Zed down, she had to call Jean. Now, her hope rested on Jean. She clutched the cell phone tightly as she was worried that Jean might refuse.

Upon hearing what the secretary said, Jean was startled for a second. To some extent, she was delighted to hear that Zed had asked for her. As an old saying went, in wine there is truth. Did that mean he had a spot for her in his heart? Thinking of that, her cheeks flushed. She became even more delighted now.

"All right. Give me the address and I'll come at once, " Jean said without further hesitation.

Jean quickly took down the address and dressed before she knocked on the door of the guest room.

"Luke, Luke!" She planned to wake Luke and ask him to come along with her since it was late at night. There was a hint of anxiety in her voice. She was worried about Zed.

A few seconds later, Luke opened the door and looked at Jean with tired eyes. He asked, "Mrs. Jean, what's the matter?"

"Zed got drunk at a club. Please come with me to pick him up, " Jean said.

"Mr. Zed got drunk?" Luke was dazed by what Jean had said. The weariness on his face faded away immediately. He nodded, "Please wait a moment. I'll change my clothes at once."

On the way to the club, Jean wondered what had happened. In all the time that she had known him, Zed had never been in a position to need assistance like this. Even if he drank a lot, he would still be able to come home by himself.

But what happened to him today? Wait, what happened to his driver?

Jean remembered that a few months ago, Zed had started a new routine of driving to the office but having a driver bring him home after work.

If she hadn't thought about this, she wouldn't have remembered about the driver.

Since it was already midnight and there were few cars on the road, Luke drove quickly. About twenty minutes later, they arrived at a high-end club.

Jean guessed that it would probably take hundreds of thousands of dollars to hang out here for just one night. She walked toward the entrance of the club with Luke. However, they weren't able to enter as the security guards stopped them outside.

when did people need VIP cards to get into clubs? If she couldn't get into the club, then she had no choice but to leave Zed. But

the same stiff tone as before. Jean was so frustrated. This was the first time in her life that Jean wanted to punch a stranger in the face. However, she knew that being aggressive would not help. And so, with a smile she said, "Do you know Mr. Qi? Mr. Qi of the Qi Group? His phone is powered off now. But I got a call earlier from his secretary who is inside. And she said that Mr. Qi needs help getting home. I am here to pick him up. If you

with him some more. After several minutes of arguing, the security guard was still insistent that they couldn't enter. Jean almost lost her temper and intended to hit him. She

paced in front of the entrance of the club as her anxiety mounted. She was still thinking of a way to get inside. But with Zed's phone dead, she couldn't get in touch with the secretary and she couldn't get in. Jean didn't even know which room Zed was in at the moment.

Jean, how about I call Mr. Sean for help? The Qi Group is a shareholder of this club. We can ask Mr.
