The Redwood Lamp was one of the best private restaurants in City A. Every dish served was exemplary, and the place only accepted the most high-profile clients. The reservation also had to be made at least one month in advance.
Aaron had managed to book a table yesterday using his connection.
The restaurant's interior was exquisite also the building didn't have a roof. When night fell, the chandelier above gave off a very unique and quintessential vibe and one would feel as though they were dining under the moonlight.
The small group of woman made their way into the building and seated themselves at a corner table.
"Babe..." Melissa excitedly hugged Aaron who was currently busy on the phone.
"Oh you guys arrived," Aaron hugged Melissa back.
"Hi, Director," A woman who was wearing a red gown said shyly.
"Hello, Ashley," Aaron said smiling as he didn't notice someone was jealous.
Ashley tucked her hair behind her ears shyly on the other hand Melissa was on fire when she saw her friends trying to impress her husband who was already married.
"We are honored to have dinner with the Director," another woman named Jenny said confidently.
"Don't be. I'm only doing it for my wife," Aaron smiled mockingly while hugging Melissa's waist who seemed to be calm down.
Ashley and Jenny were shut down, after a short conversation they didn't dare to talk in front of Aaron, who was continuously looking at his phone under the table as he was waiting for something.
"What happened?" Melissa saw Aaron tense.
"It's nothing. Eat," Aaron fed Melissa to make her shut.
Melissa smiled back while being suspicious. After a while, Aaron got a call and he left the room.
"Sir, we were not able to get any information about Calvin Cameron," a man said from the other side of the phone.
"Not even single," Aaron scolded the man who was sweating.
"Yes, sir,"
Aaron immediately hung up the call, he clenched his hand in anger but after a while, he returned to Melissa's side. When Aaron was away, Melissa warned the two girls to control their mouths in front of Aaron and both girls only nodded in agreement.
After dinner, Aaron and Melissa went together in their car while Ashley and Jenny both separated. Melissa's attitude was the last thing they liked about her. Melissa always acts like the queen and treats her colleagues like no one.

Funk dials Ben's number and passes it to Ethan.
"Ethan, Let's meet up," Ben messages Ethan to meet up for an important thing they have to figure out before others do.
"Alright, meet me at Mount Beach," Ethan hung up after saying a few words.
His expression was still calm as ever while on the other hand, Funk was sweating non-stop. Ethan walks out of the abandoned building while his bodyguards are following him.
"Ethan Hebrew.............." a middle-aged man shouts who was unconscious until now.
Ethan stares at the man while looking at a boy named Mad Dog, who is looking at Ethan with puppy eyes.
