305 Rex's Birthday Party (1)

Next Day.

Xander and Scarlett arrived at the Empire Club, one of the most exclusive venues in Manhattan, owned by the prestigious Morrison Group. The club was closed to the public that day, as it was reserved for Rex's birthday party.

Scarlett had attended Rex's birthday parties many times, but this time was different. She was anxious about meeting Rex's friends, who used to tease her about dating Rex in the past. She didn't want any awkwardness or tension between Xander and Rex's friends, significantly since their relationship had just improved.

As they stepped inside, the thumping bass of EDM music filled her ears. She flinched at the blast of loud EDM music. She doesn't like to come to a place like this. If it weren't for Rex's birthday, she would never have set foot in a music club like the Empire Club.
