Chapter 263<\/p>\n
At Ebb & Flow, around 10 PM on a Saturday night, the crowd was noticeably larger than during weekdays. Songs being sung, drinks enjoyed.<\/p>\n
As usual, Truman came by to take a look around on a weekend night. He glanced at a man drinking alone in a booth far away, thoughtfully touching his chin. He picked up a freshly made cocktail and walked over.<\/p>\n
He approached the man drinking alone and said, \u201cJason, why are you here drinking by yourself? Want some company?\u201d<\/p>\n
Jason glanced at Truman and gave a slight nod in acknowledgment, but didn\u2019t speak and continued with another glass of whiskey.<\/p>\n
Seeing this, Truman shrugged. \u201cAlright then! Go on and have fun. That\u2019s a strong drink. Don\u2019t drink too much. Here\u2019s this one for you, I won\u2019t bother you anymore!\u201d After saying that, he put down the prepared cocktail and turned back to the bar.<\/p>\n
Once he returned to the bar, he quickly took out her phone, snapped a picture of Jason, opened Xenia\u2019s chat on WhatsApp, and sent it to her. After sending it, he walked to a quiet spot and called her.<\/p>\n
After ringing for several seconds, Xenia finally picked up, \u201cHey, Truman, what is it? I\u2019m in a creative flow, so if it\u2019s important, please hurry, I need to keep going.\u201d<\/p>\n
Truman cleared his throat a couple of times. \u201cXenia, did you add Jason on WhatsApp with the contact card I gave you time?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, I\u2019m too shy to make the first move!\u201d Xenia answered honestly.<\/p>\n
last<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s at the bar now. It\u2019s a perfect chance. Do you want it or not? Hurry up if you do,\u201d Truman said promptly after hearing Xenia\u2019s response.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat? What do you mean by that? Is your age affecting you? What kind of chance is it?\u201d Xenia asked, her curiosity piqued. Truman glanced back at the booth. \u201cJason\u2019s here, drinking alone. Something seems off with him. Are you coming or not?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cReally? Is it even a good idea? If I just show up out of nowhere, he might think I\u2019m an easy woman who hangs out in bars a lot. Not appropriate at all,\u201d Xenia thought to herself, feeling conflicted.<\/p>\n
Truman sighed, \u201cNot at all, Xenia, where\u2019s that usual energy of yours? Aren\u2019t you usually giving me a hard time? Why\u2019d you suddenly back down?\u201d<\/p>\n
On the other end of the line, Xenia chuckled, \u201cWell, it\u2019s different<\/p>\n
Truman rolled his eyes helplessly. \u201cFine, whatever you decide. I\u2019m offering you this chance, take it or leave it,\u201d With that, he hung up..<\/p>\n
Xenia looked at the disconnected call, anxiously biting her fingernail and pacing around her room. \u201cSo, what\u2019s it going to be? Are you going or not? \u201cWhy did you suddenly get so scared, Xenia? Ugh.\u201d<\/p>\n
She downed two glasses of cold water, scratched her head, and headed into her room.<\/p>\n
Half an hour later, Truman was casually munching on snacks at the bar and noticed a figure walking in from outside. He chuckled, \u201cHmph, as if I don\u2019t know you!\u201d He said<\/p>\n
..nis, brushed the snack crumbs off his hands, and walked towards Xenia.<\/p>\n
Ever since Xenia dropped her punk look, she\u2019d been looking more and more like a lady. In a simple dress with a knit cardigan, she looked fresh and neat like the girl next door. She walked in, glancing around.<\/p>\n

T<\/p>\n
Truman walked over and patted her on the shoulder. \u201cXenia.\u201d<\/p>\n
Xenia jumped. \u201cTruman, are you<\/p>\n
to<\/p>\n
scare me to death? Where\u2019s Jason?\u201d<\/p>\n
3<\/p>\n
Truman chuckled, \u201cHey, you little ingrate, coming straight to the point without even saying hi to me. Look, he\u2019s over there!\u201d He pointed towards the booth ahead to the right.<\/p>\n
Jason sat there all by himself, sipping drink after drink, lost in thought.<\/p>\n
Seeing him, Xenia\u2019s courage deflated instantly. \u201cTruman, do you think he\u2019s nursing a broken heart or did his confession get rejected, and now he\u2019s here drinking away his sorrows? Going up to him just feels like I\u2019m throwing myself at him.\u201d<\/p>\n
Truman clicked his tongue. \u201cRelax, I\u2019m not just hanging around in Betrico for nothing, you know? I have enough connections with paparazzi and private detectives. Jason\u2019s single never been in a relationship. Go for it without worries!\u201d<\/p>\n
Xenia giggled, \u201cReally? Then we\u2019re a perfect match. I\u2019ve never dated anyone before either. Thanks, Truman, you\u2019re truly the best! I promise to take good care of you! Alright, I\u2019m going for it now!\u201d<\/p>\n
Truman nodded. \u201cYeah, go ahead!\u201d<\/p>\n
Xenia took a deep breath to steady her nerves. \u201cOkay, I\u2019ll talk to him, while he\u2019s a bit tipsy,\u201d With that, she began to walk towards Jason.<\/p>\n
Truman watched her from behind as she walked away, and sighed, \u201cI\u2019m such a good uncle. Not to mention, seeing Xenia go after love like this makes me a bit hesitant to let her go!\u201d<\/p>\n
