Chapter 412 Who Is More Attractive

Upon seeing Lysander remaining silent, lips pursed, Zane also found himself unsure about the current state of affairs between the two of them.

“Um, Ms. Thorne, are you here to see Josiah?”

Lysander shook her head. “I had no idea he was here.”

Zane seemed to have a sudden realization and nodded. However, Lysander wasn’t sure if she was mistaken, but she seemed to notice a hint of disappointment on Zane’s face.

“You guys carry on. I’ve got things to handle.”

Lysander nodded in acknowledgment to Zane.

Zane, however, hastily inquired, “Is there something troubling you? Maybe I can help.”

“Thanks, but no need.”

“I’m helping you on my own accord. It has nothing to do with Josiah. Zane considered for a moment before adding, “This place… it’s not exactly safe for you to wander around alone. You never know what might run into.”

Lysander frowned. “Isn’t this just a karaoke lounge? Why wouldn’t I be safe?”

Zane’s face stiffened and spoke awkwardly. “Anyway, this isn’t your typical karaoke lounge.”

It seemed as though Lysander was beginning to understand.

Yet, she wasn’t entirely clear.

Given her line of work, she really didn’t need to engage in any social events, so she wasn’t all that familiar with the ins and outs of it.

However, looking at Zane’s expression, and recalling the lipstick marks on Josiah’s shirt from earlier, one could make a few guesses..

No wonder when Zane was just talking about Josiah, he used the phrase “unruly.”

“You guys…” Lysander was at a loss for words. “Did you all come here… looking for… women?”

Startled, Zane quickly shook his head. “No, no, that’s not it. I’m just here as the driver. They’ve all been drinking, so someone sober has to get them home.”

“Oh.”

“Josiah isn’t here for the women either!”

It seemed as though Zane had thought of something, letting out a dry chuckle, “He was probably just in bad mood, looking for some distraction. The woman just now was just a singer he was with, strictly business. She’s not the type to sell her body.”

Lysander pursed her lips/“You don’t me.”
