53 Night Out II Ewan , take it easy ! The night is still young , and youre already on your third glass of wine .
Do you plan on being carried out of here ? Zane asked , shooting a glance at an amused Sandro , who chuckled before chiming in .
If thats his plan , then he can forget it .
I dont have the will or the capacity to carry anyone out of this club tonight .
So lets all be responsible .
Remember , some of us are driving tonight ! We are not like Ewan that moves everywhere with his driver … Ewan ignored them , taking another sip from his glass .
Athena hadnt replied to him yet .
He inhaled deeply , trying to quell the growing hurt in his heart ..
Whats happening to me ? He thought weakly , downing more wine , oblivious to the glares coming from his friends .
Ewan , you didnt hear what we just said ? Zane pressed , reaching for Ewans drink .
But Ewan was faster .
He snatched his drink away , before Zane could touch it .
This caused Sandro to laugh boisterously this time around .
His friend was really acting up tonight .
Let him drink He quipped .
Let him drown his sorrows .
Isnt that the essence of this meeting in the first place ? Zane snorted , shook his head and took a sip of his drink .
Ewan followed right after .
He needed to forget for a while .
After Sandro had announced the press conference on their official website a few hours ago , things had taken a turn for the worse .
People had believed that the press conference had been fixed to debunk Athenas truth , and as a result , his companys stocks had plunged again .
Ewan had been tempted to call the press team and ask them to take down the news , but his conscience hadnt let him do so .
Yet , it was saddening to watch his company crumble before his eyes .
Hopefully , things would get better by next week after the press conference .
But what was the guarantee ? People might not be as forgiving as Athena .
Ewan sighed tiredly .
The only silver lining was that the KN Media hadnt jumped on the bandwagon .
That spelled hope for him .
Maybe Athena was looking out for him maybe she didnt want his company to go down like Zacks .
And for that , he was very grateful .
He checked his phone for the umpteenth time .
53 Night Out I No texts from Alfonso , who claimed to be a dependable senior .
No messages from Fiona either , the one he would have married next week .
He never told her the date , wanting it to be a surprise wedding .
However , he had told the wedding planner yesterday to put everything on hold .
Would he ever go ahead with it again ? He wasnt sure .
Hearing those truths from Athena had change everything .
Hey , I think we should go and dance , you know, meet some people of the opposite gender … Zane suggested , causing Sandro to laugh .
* Spoken like a true playboy … Zane threw up his hands in mock frustration .
When was the last time either of you had fun ? Both males knew what kind of fun he was talking about but chose to keep quiet .
Sandro , when was the last time you enjoyed the company of a woman ? Sandro shrugged .
I dont see how thats your business .
Zane scoffed , muttering uptight fellow , before turning to Ewan .
What about you ? Since you havent slept with Fiona , whos been taking the heat off you ? No one , Ewan thought , feeling a wave of sadness wash over him .
The last time he had sex was with Athena , six years ago , on the day she had demanded a divorce .
Back then , he had been so angry and restless both at himself for not understanding his emotions and at her for being so unpredictable .
He had thrown the words give me a son at her with more venom than he intended , just to spite her .
If he had been smart , he would have taken his restlessness as a sign to pull back and reevaluate their relationship .
If he had , he would have realized that he never wanted to lose her in the first place .
Ewans eyes widened at this sudden revelation .
He shut his eyes , trying to push away this truth , longing to return to a blissful state of ignorance .
But it was no use ; the truth had been laid bare .
He had started the marriage feeling resentful , but somewhere along the line , he had lost that resentment without even realizing it .

His hands shook as he reached for the wine bottle to refill his glass .
Even now , trying to be civil with her , he thought he was merely making amends and trying to live peacefully .
But that wasnt the real truth , was it ? His hands trembled so badly that wine spilled over the glass , drawing Zane and Sandros attention .
63 Night Out It All this time , he had been uneasy and restless because deep down , he liked her he never wanted to lose her .
When had that change happened ? Just as his mind began to drift back in time , Sandro yanked him to his feet .
Im not sure what your problem is , Ewan .
One minute youre sober about the company , the next you look like some woman just broke your heart .
Zane is right ; lets go dance Ewan allowed himself to be pulled away from their private corner of the club and into the public area downstairs , where loud music thumped through the speakers and bodies were grinding against each other .
Zane led the way and stopped them at the bar .
Lets check out some chicks … He said , a mischievous grin plastered on his face .
Sandro chuckled , but Ewan said nothing .
Maybe he needed this .
He thought , ordering a scotch to the chagrin of his friends .
Maybe he needed to bed a woman .
Perhaps that would make his frustration disappear .
But even as he thought that , he knew it was impossible .
He could now understand why his body had been unresponsive to Fiona ; his body wanted only Athena .
He had just been too slow to follow through .
As he lifted the glass of scotch to his lips , his eyes caught sight of a woman in red , who stood at the opposite bar , with her back to him ..
Instantly , his little man ( ahem , penis ) jerked to life .
He cursed loudly before he could help it .
Speak of the devil ! And there she appears , wearing red !
