Chapter 1623

Nathan furrowed his brows.

Upon hearing the disdain in Milton's words, Kylie was absolutely furious.

“Yes, he's my boyfriend. He's called Nathan,” she said with her head high. Nobody had expectedthat coming.

This time, not only was Milton beseeched, but Nathan was also at a loss for words.

His first reaction was to deny their relationship, but Kylie was clinging onto his arms and staring athim with puppy dog eyes.

He got her hint pretty fast.

Clearly, Milton was an unwanted suitor who had been bothering her, and she was trying to shun himaway with her “boyfriend”.

Nathan looked into Kylie's helpless eyes and pursed his lips.

In the end, he chose to play along.

Kylie let out a soft sigh of relief while Milton squinted his eyes at Nathan, with a hostile aura buildingup around him.

Eyeballing Nathan from head to toe, he concluded that Nathan was simply an average guy wearingaverage clothes, driving an average jeep.

It came as an unpleasant shock for him that his goddess was dating such a mediocre man.

Staring daggers at Nathan, Milton could not wait to teach him a lesson.

However, just at that moment, a BMW mini drove past and stopped by. Mavis emerged from it,wearing a flashy dress.

“Oh my. Milton, Kylie! You're all here? Why are you guys talking in the car park? Come on, let's goin,” she said with a look of surprise.

“Sure thing!” Milton grinned.

And so, the four of them made their way into the nightclub, to a luxurious private room that hadbeen reserved for them called the Diamond Suite.

The Diamond Suite was the largest private space within the club. Designed to look like a dreamyrealm in fantasy land, it could hold more than two hundred people.

When they had arrived, the room was already half-filled, with people chatting, drinking, and havingthe time of their lives. Most of them were Kylie's classmates from college.

Upon seeing Milton and Kylie appear, many walked up to them for a friendly greeting.

When Kylie introduced Nathan to the people in the room, she still kept up the boyfriend narrative,causing heads to turn.

Many even sneaked glances at Milton.

It was an open secret that Milton had set his eyes on Kylie. Even in their college days, Milton wouldshoo off all other men who dared come near her. He would warn them that she was going to be hiswoman sooner or later.

However, things did not turn out as he had hoped, and Kylie was already taken.

As Milton bitterly watched Kylie introduce Nathan to all of her former classmates with a huge smileplastered on her face, he could not help but wonder what about that ordinarylooking man was thatappealed to her.

When everyone finally settled down to drink, Milton saw it as a chance for a showdown betweenhim and Nathan.

Smirking, he whipped out a pack of Luxury Black cigarettes and handed one to Nathan. “Hey, doyou smoke?”

Mavis and her friends were very impressed. “Wow, doesn't that cigarette cost more than twentythousand per roll? Mr. Hayes, it's almost like you're smoking away the amount of money we earn ina month!” she exclaimed.

Milton could not hide his smirk and turned to look at Nathan, expecting a similarly surprisedexpression.

Oh, how amusing would it be if he takes my cigarette with his shaky hands, or would he begin tothank me profusely?

To his disappointment, Nathan seemed unmoved, not to mention that he did not even take his tackycigarette.

Instead, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his own bag and said shrewdly, “I do smoke, but Iprefer my own cigarettes.”

Milton blinked.

The crowd around him also fell silent.

What in the world is going on? Nathan is declining an offer to smoke a cigarette that's worth twentythousand per roll?What kind of cigarette is he smoking?

Many curious faces turned to look at the cigarette that Nathan was smoking.

At a glance, Nathan's cigarette pack did not have a brand printed on it and looked as ordinary as itcould get. His cigarettes could almost pass for those that farmers would buy from the black market.

What's he thinking? How dare he refuse Mr. Hayes when he is smoking that rubbish?

Milton scoffed. He's not just mediocre. He's a mediocre man with a false sense of pride!

Mavis and most of the others in the room were thinking the same.

Unbeknownst to them, Nathan's cigarettes were exclusive to commanding officers of the country.

Someone in the crowd reached out and flipped Nathan's cigarette pack. There were a few wordsprinted on the cover. Commander-exclusive Cigarettes.

Those were cigarettes that Milton could never dream of buying. It was no longer just a matter ofmoney. Those cigarettes meant an exclusive privilege that he would never have.
