As usual, Abner sent a chill with his cold face even in summer.
He gave Damara an intense look, his face remaining expressionless. “Let’s go.”
Damara followed behind him, swiped the card, and entered the club.
The lobby floor was so polished that one could see their reflections. All the staff waiting at the entrance bowed respectfully and greeted them.
After walking a short distance, Abner turned around to look at her.
Damara stood still, politely smiling at him.
“How much did Payne pay you?”
Damara didn’t know the relationship between Payne and Abner. She was unfamiliar with the Robinson Family and had never considered learning about it.
She hadn’t even met Abner’s father in the past three years.
To her, the fact that Payne knew Abner meant they belonged to the same social circle.
“My boss said this deal might be worth over a million.”
“You have a boss?”
Abner sounded puzzled; he had limited knowledge of this line of work.

It seemed that what Payne had told him before was true – Moonlight Club provided dirty services to some of its customers. He had never encountered it before and didn’t expect to fall for it on his first night back in the country.
But now, there was no point in agonizing over it any further.
He continued walking towards his private room, noticing that Damara was still following him. He turned his head to look at her. “Payne said your charges are high, and your services can make me satisfied. Is that so?”
Damara had dealt with many clients over the past few years, and most wealthy people were generous in spending. However, there were a few who were particularly difficult to please.
In response to Abner’s question, she put on a professional demeanor, saying, “Mr. Robinson, when it comes to fees, it’s a matter of different strokes for different folks.”
Different strokes for different folks?
Abner’s displeasure was evident in his eyes as he coldly sneered, “Is that so? But I’m very unsatisfied with your service.”
It was a somewhat awkward interaction; Abner controlled the situation. Since this was a business transaction, user experience mattered.
Moreover, with charges of over a million, besides her figure and this face, was there anything else worth that much?
This line of work seemed to make good money.
Customer is King, Damara thought to herself. With her professional demeanor, she maintained a pleasant attitude. “Mr. Robinson, why don’t you tell me what style you prefer, and I’ll adapt to your tastes This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

accordingly.”
The woman’s face was adorned with a polite smile, and the soft light from the wall lamp cast a subtle radiance upon her, giving her an indescribable charm.
Abner’s expression stiffened as he inexplicably thought of the sex they had this morning – when she seemed unable to bear it, her lips slightly parted, her gaze unfocused, and she could only weakly embrace him…
Her eyes glistened like shimmering water, exuding a captivating beauty.
Damara raised her head confidently. “Many of my clients have become repeat customers and are quite satisfied with my work.”
Even when resold as second–hand properties, the houses and villas she designed could fetch several times their original price. And she had never received any complaint.
Repeat customer?
“You have other clients?”
Abner felt a faint displeasure in his heart, and his brow furrowed. “Isn’t this your first time?”
“Of course not. I’ve been in this business for three years.”
Damara was surprised, seemingly unable to believe he would ask such a question. She wondered what Mr. Payne had told him.
As soon as she finished her sentence, his expression turned cold.
He couldn’t quite describe his feelings, but he felt a hint of disgust and a surge of discomfort in his chest. “Alright, don’t follow me. The deal was done. Don’t expect anything else.”

Damara halted her steps, puzzled by his sudden anger. “Should I talk to Mr. Payne?”
Her confusion seemed like an act of feigned ignorance to Abner. His brows furrowed slightly, his expression displeased.
“Is he also your client?”
“Sort of,” Damara nodded. After all, a potential client was also a client.
Abner’s face darkened even more, and without hesitation, he turned
avvay.
Damara stood there, pondering momentarily about what she had said that had pricked his fragile nerves. They had barely exchanged a few words, and she hadn’t made any mistakes. Why was he dissatisfied?
He must not know her identity yet.
Just then, Roman called her, “Are you there yet?”
“Boss, I think I messed up.”
Roman was taken aback; he had great confidence in Damara. She had an exceptional talent for interior design, and since she entered this field, she had never admitted to messing up.
“Room 1402, come over first.”
“Alright.”
Damara hung up the phone and asked a waiter about the location of the private room.
Roman looked up at Payne, who was sitting with his legs crossed. “Mr. Payne, the designer, will be here soon.”

Payne radiated youthful energy with his dazzling appearance. He smiled slightly, “No rush. My cousin will be here soon, and they can talk face–to–face. I’m sure it’ll work out.”
With Payne’s assurance, Roman felt relieved and began to laugh. “By the way, Abner and I were high school classmates, but he probably doesn’t remember me.”
With his family background and appearance, Abner had been surrounded by flatterers since childhood.
Besides, even though they were in the same class back then, Abner had only been at the school for less than half a year.
As Roman finished speaking, the door to the private room was pushed open, and Damara walked in.
Today, she was not wearing her professional attire but a light–colored casual outfit that made her look elegant and refreshing, with a handbag of the same color. Her long hair was loosely tied back, giving her a clean and fresh appearance.
She smiled at Payne, “Hello.”
Payne’s eyes lit up instantly, “Our designer is so talented and beautiful.”
Seeing her coming in alone, he became puzzled. “Didn’t I ask my cousin to pick you up? Where is he?”
Damara froze for a moment. Was Abner his cousin?
