Convincing her (Jen and Lucas)

Chapter 213: Outing

Tyler got in the shower after opting not to take an actual bath, the almost scalding hot water poured over his skin giving it a satisfying reddish hue. After the shower, he tied a towel around his waist before he went to stand in front of the vanity of his bathroom.

He brushed his teeth and looked at his reflection in the mirror in the bathroom. People always said that you look your best after a shower and that was one of the few things that Tyler would readily agree with.

He looked at his reflection and combed his damp hair neatly and let it fall the way it naturally would, a choice that made his hair cover his forehead and part of his eyes. He put some hair product in his hair before he left the bathroom. Tyler left the bathroom and went to the walk-in closet where his clothes were unpacked.

He decided to wear one of his black turtleneck long-sleeved light sweaters and a pair of grey distressed jeans and a pair of black boots. He even wore a black diamond-studded earring that he hadn't worn in a while.

After Tyler got dressed, he called Roy who had left his suite a while ago to make arrangements for his transport. Even though Roy had arranged an Audi to be his private transport he was not reckless enough to decide on driving to a venue where he was probably going to be drinking at.

As Tyler was waiting for Roy to call and tell him that he could finally leave, he felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. He was in his kitchen getting a bottle of water so he did not even check on who was calling his phone so late at night.

"Hello?" Tyler said as he answered his phone while he was opening his bottle of water.

"Mr. Ainsworth?" Naya's voice was heard from the speaker of the phone.

"Naya?" Tyler said after a short pause.

"Mmh, it's me," Naya said in response.

"I wasn't expecting your call," Tyler said as he set the phone he was holding in his hand in the kitchen counter.

"Mmh, I'm in City X," Naya said directly.

"Really?" Tyler asked with raised eyebrows. He wanted to go out and have fun. He was not attached to anyone so he was just planning on going out to see if he would be able to meet someone that he would find interesting. Even if he didn't end up meeting a girl, he might end up making a new connection. He felt that it was much better than staying in his hotel suite alone.

"Yes, I had business here. I met with the client today" Naya said honestly. 

"Is that so? Well, I'm going to Midnight blue lounge" Tyler said as he sipped on his water.

"Then I'll see you there," Naya said once she heard that Tyler was planning on going out.

"Mmh," Tyler said and cut the call before calling Roy to tell him to prepare his transport.

After ten more minutes, Tyler received a call from Roy informing him of his transport for that night. After making sure that he had all of the necessary things he needed, Tyler left the penthouse suite and went to the hotel lobby where he was led to the car that was parked in front of the hotel.

He did not delay much and went to the car that was prepared for him by the hotel. He silently praised the efficiency of Lewis & Co. Hotels as he poured himself a glass of champagne in the car.

He immediately left the car the moment they arrived at his destination and he was promptly led to his private room. It looked like Roy had already contacted the staff at the club so Tyler did not have to do anything as he was recognized immediately. Especially since the car he arrived in was not low profile at all.

As Tyler was led to walk across the crowd of very proactive dancers, he could feel both the excitement and exhaustion of the audience. He was then directly taken to the VIP lounge that was on the upper floor. 

He sat on one of the comfortable sofas that was close to the glass railing that enabled him to see what was going on downstairs. He ordered a bottle of brandy before calling one of the waiters once more.

"How may I help you?" the waiter asked Tyler whose gaze was focussed on what was going on downstairs. The waiter wondered if Tyler took a fancy to one of the girls that were dancing since he looked to be very fixated on what was happening.

"I have a guest that will be coming shortly. She has very long brown hair and is quite tall, her name is Naya, bring her over as soon as she arrives" Tyler instructed. The waiter nodded and left the lounge to tell one of the bouncers that stood at the entrance of the club. 

He admonished himself for thinking that such a distinguished person would actually be interested with someone he would randomly meet at the club. He had become disillusioned.
