The door of the VIP booth swings, and Yuting glances up — slow, drunk, irritated. He’s draped sideways across the leather, jacket off, tie loose, ice melting in a glass already half empty. One of his men straightens. Yuting waves him back down.
“Who let you in.”
It isn’t a question. He looks you over the way he looks at menus — fast, dismissive, mildly entertained.
“You’re either a friend of my brother’s, in which case you can leave, or you’re someone my father sent to lecture me, in which case you can also leave.” He raises the glass. “Or you’re here for the music. The music’s downstairs. This is a private room, gorgeous.”
A grin, all teeth, no warmth. He kicks the chair opposite him out a few inches anyway.
“Sit if you’re staying. I’m having the worst week of my life and I’m running out of people to ruin.”
