Sortie Club Elias looked up at the neon sign above the entrance of Sortie Club, the buzzing music and laughter spilling out onto the street. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
His usual cockiness was nowhere to be found tonight. Instead, he felt something dragging down his spirits.
Even the prospect of being surrounded by beautiful girls didn't excite him.
Sortie Club is a swanky establishment adorned with extravagance and often operates almost every day because of the amount of customers they have.
The last time Elias visited here was the last time he visited with his band members as a team. As the other two were not from the same prominent
family as the Malfoys, he did not give a damn about them.
While he talked to Shane because they had been friends for years.
"You look like you could kill with your piercing gaze," Shane said as they stepped into the club bustling with music. "Looks like there is a party going on, though. I heard the Young Miss of the Swinton Family is celebrating." Elias abruptly stated, "Then there are going to be more girls," a smile crossing his lips.
"But let us exercise caution; you do not want to get entangled in yet another controversy, do you?" Shane asked, finding his way to a less crowded place as the lively atmosphere engulfed them.
Ceca Me hnddany Lo RANA AM As they settled down at the corner, Shane went to get some drinks while Elias engaged in a conversation witha familiar person.
Elias's eyes swept across the sea of people and his gaze landed on a young lady. Standing at the far corner of the bar, the girl who had once captured his heart was smiling and sipping her drink as she talked to a lady.
Elias couldn't tear his gaze away from her. Memories flooded back from their high school days when he was her senior. Elias had admired the young lady from afar, but as time passed, he buried those feelings deep within, assuming they were forgotten.
But now, all of those dormant emotions came rushing back. He couldn't help but feel a magnetic pull
towards her, urging him to bridge the gap and start a conversation.
Maybe it was because he wasn't in a good mood, he just felt like talking with the young Lady.
Due to their shared attendance at the same university and high school, Elias had seen her multiple times. However, he has not actually seen her all that much since joining "Ecstacy." Shane arrived with their drinks, a smile on his face. It was evident that something had been on Elias's mind when he gave him his drink. It differed, at least, from the genius boy.
"Seen someone you like?" Shane asked as he sat beside Elias. "So many girls showed up to celebrate the birthday of that girl. I might as well enjoy myself tonight."
"assumed you mentioned that I should not become embroiled in a scandal," Elias smirked and took a - I sniff of his drink. The alcohol burned his throat and he gulped down some more.
"Relax, nobody can actually say anything outside. Everyone here is influential" Shane answered. "So, are you interested in speaking with the girl you were eyeing? That girl looks familiar though... wait! Isn't she the young miss of the..." "Stop shouting! Do I look like someone who will pursue girls? Girls pursue me, okay?" Elias said cockily. "And she is currently in her second year of All Stars, and we went to the same high school." "This has to be destiny! How about you
have a conversation with her?" "Cut the crap" Elias rolled his eyes.
"Whatever! I'm going to the dance floor! Crazy things are happening there" Shane stood up, gulping down the remnant of his drink in a gulp.
Elias looked back at the girl after Shane left; she appeared even more radiant than she had in high school.
Elias's arrogance prevents him from acknowledging that he has feelings for this girl, even though he knows it.
‘Saying Hi won't hurt right he thought to himself and stood up from his seat.
With a stern expression, he walked towards the young Lady and fortunately for him, an incident happened,

The lady's eyes brightened as her eyes fell on Elias. "Elias? Hey, how are you?" With his gaze fixed on the girl, Elias quickly replied, "I am fine." Apart from being junior and Senior, they both belong to one of the influential families in Starry City.
Just as Elias opened his mouth to speak again, he heard the woman's name being called.
"Jamie! Jamie." Elias glanced over Jamie's shoulder
and saw two men walking toward her.
Immediately his eyes went dark, and a sick feeling welled up inside of him.
"Hey, Jeff! Jamie excitedly yelled, snatching Liam's and Jeff's arms.
"Elias, these are my friends, Jeff and Liam" She turned to Jeff and Liam.
"This is Elias, he's the leader of the music group, Ecstasy." Jeff, who had just entered and now had to turn to face Elias, grimaced.
After leaving Dazzle Suite, he met with Liam who forced him to come along to the birthday party. It appears that Jamie and the celebrant are friends.
Speaking effortlessly, Jeff remarked, "I did not know we would meet again, Senior."
you know each other?" Liam whispered his question. "He's also a young Master from the Malfoy family and a senior in school! The one you asked about back in Arty City." Jeff smiled slightly at Liam and nodded. Then he turned back to look at Elias, who was rolling his neck to let out some steam.
"What are you doing here?" Elias asked sharply, his voice laced with anger. He simply forgot that Jamie was there and didn't bother to hide his disdain.
"The same thing you are doing here" Jeff simply replied.
For someone who had only recently met, Jeff could not understand Elias's behavior. There are various types of people, and each type of madness is distinct.
"1s something wrong? Do you guys know each other?" Jamie asked, surprised to see Elias's reaction. g Jeff purposefully stoked Elias's ire by responding, "No, he is just someone I do not need to pay attention to." However, to his dismay, Elias simply wheeled around, eyes full of anger.
As he left, Liam and Jamie simply glared at Jeff for an explanation.
"Well, I believe he is my cousin," Jeff replied. After noticing their bewildered expressions, he went on. "You know, my family found me." I suppose that makes me a Malfoy." They appeared momentarily stunned as if an abrupt shockwave had shot through their veins, causing their mouth to drop and their eyes to widen
in shock.
They were not supposed to be that surprised anymore, but it can'tbe helped.
