Angel cut the call and stared up at the ceiling for a while. Her mother soon came to mind. A day never passes without Angel thinking about her.

Angel hadn't noticed that Leo was also around as she heard the sound of someone munching on something. He stood at the front end of her cubicle, chewing on a paper-wrapped sandwich. He stopped chewing when he noticed that Angel had his eyes on him.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyf7LaQCrtk

603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOKxrsFns5
"If you're worried that he might try and convince her to go back, he won't," said Angel, raising her eyebrow at Leo. "When we first met, he was very kind to me. In fact, I know he's a good guy and won't do anything that would jeopardise Carly. If you really want to know more about him, I suggest you talk to her about him."603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiCGL7r7jR

Her lecture grew boring by the minute and she couldn’t help but turn her attention elsewhere. She wished for the day to be over so she could go home. She thought she might not be able to go to the club tonight, so she better inform Mr. Walters. She took her phone and pressed the power button to light up the screen. She groaned again when she looked at the time. A few heads in front of her turned and she threw them a look, telling them to mind their business. She went on to unlock her phone and sent Mr. Walters a text very quickly.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojaXJ3EGlb

She placed the phone back down and tried her very best to sit upright to try and concentrate. Immediately she did and got a few words from her lecturer, her phone beeped beside her book. She rolled her eyes and told herself that she would look at it later.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKCsrrXmw2

A few seconds later, she found herself playing with her pen, not getting a word her lecturer was saying. Shoot, she told herself as she felt bored. She checked the time on her phone again. This time the notification on her lock screen was beckoning her to open it. As bored as she is, she unlocked her phone and went to her messages. It’s from Mr. Walters. She didn’t expect him to reply so soon. It read that she should come to the club no matter what and right after her classes. Miranda raised an eyebrow. He has never asked her to come very early for work. What’s the big occasion?603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqHxUfb9Yy5
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTithL5bvF
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryo2gpUH0x
She quickly texted him back, asking why she should go early. She sent the message and looked at the phone eagerly, waiting for him to reply there and then, but he didn’t. She put her phone back down and looked towards the lecturer, getting bored again. Her eyes soon lit up when her phone vibrated. Mr, Walters texted her back. She quickly read the message. It said that he needed her there because there’s a special party he’s hosting for someone.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaN2NCKjQS

Miranda bit her lip as she thought about it. As much as she’s a fan of parties, she didn’t want to go anywhere tonight. Mr. Walters soon sent her a text saying he’ll pay her double the amount she gets on most nights. She thought about it and texted him back saying that she wanted the money tripled.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIkMYybEjs

She didn’t get the chance to put her phone down when he texted back saying it’s a done deal. Miranda can’t believe it. The owner of the party must be some big shot, she thought. Looks like she’ll have to ditch her plans of chilling at home and attend. She texted back saying she’ll be there.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9mz5NWMM7

The sound of your lecturer telling his students that the lecture is over, was music to Carly’s ears. She quickly packed her books in her backpack just like everyone around her.

A sudden thought crossed her mind: he and Carly are probably together at this very moment. She looked out the window to catch her breath. As much as she tried to convince herself that she might be overthinking it, a strong part of her knew she’s right.

With headphones still plugged in, she looked down at her phone and pressed the back button to repeat the song. She started to make her way to the alleyway that she usually used to get to the club.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpernWYNTL

As soon as she arrived at the club's back door, she could already feel the atmosphere. It's just another busy night as usual, she told herself as she closed the door behind her. She gave a nod to the man who always stood guard inside and made her way down the hall towards the dressing room.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRTW0yy84h

She went straight for her locker upon entering the room when she felt her phone vibrate in her hand. Mr. Walters is calling.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6MWXfHIOpd
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtD4smV6oOw
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0xGuxedQW
She answered. "If you're going to ask where I am, I'm already in the dressing room," she said with the earphones still in her ears.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZy3frKxGbx

"I know that, you don't have to tell me how to do my job," Mr. Walters sounded like he is about to snap. "There will be the five of you. It's a small party, nothing special."603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghO5X6TqwA

Alex drove the car downtown and Carly couldn't help but look around. She didn't expect to be in this part of town. She thought the party they were attending would be in some luxurious place in the city. Maybe in some prestigious club, unlike Mr. Walters'.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRb9JXtPLr

603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNYeoa4kTi
"Hey, are you sure the event is taking place around this part of town?" Carly couldn't help but ask as she turned to look at Alex. "Red Lion described it like it's a party with class."603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTCOYZwIso

Alex rolled his eyes. Do women really talk like this all the time, he asked himself. He already knew the answer to that. But there’s something about Carly when she asked her questions that almost drove him to the edge of madness.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sRJXYqPpG

They were approaching the area close to the New York harbour. The road was quiet and only a few cars and some vans coming passed them going the opposite direction. Before they could reach the premises, Alex slowed the car and stopped.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5595nYOuh

"What is it?" Carly asked as she looked at him. "Are you telling me we’re stopping here?" she looked out of the window. "But we’re just outside the harbour. Are we having a party here?"603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnHYFcG6wC
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9NCGeb0oQ

Alex didn’t answer as he bent to her side to reach his hand to the glove compartment. He removed a black folded cloth and closed the compartment. He sat up straight, looking at Carly.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXT2t227Z2r

Alex opened the door and went out himself. Carly had no choice but to do as he said. He did tell her that he would've to blindfold her. When she got out, she looked around. She stood a few feet away from the wire fence that separated the ship bay premises and the road. She could see a ship pulling up into the bay from a distance and there came the sound of its horn.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUvuEANSYV

603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCz62wYL6jc
Carly looked at him before doing so. She felt him coming close behind her and she had the sudden urge to turn around again because she didn’t like this. She saw the black cloth that he had come over her head and blinding her eyes.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMv3gRAMO2v

603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkEQPrHYn3c
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5heDFwBAb4
After doing so, he opened the car door beside her and helped her in carefully. He closed the door and he went round the car to the driver’s seat. He started the car and did a U-turn. Carly could feel how the car moved and she held her breath for a moment.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVYkW1LrhX

603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHG28MkIWE

603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35mvMnbobS
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9rtAnNz5M
Carly noticed his tone and pressed her lips together to keep herself from talking back. He might not have instructions to kill her, but when you drive a person mad, who knows what they may do.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsatjxfxMw
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtIcC3PyMB
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOk2W4RHul

603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguo1DNurP5

603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg09wnbGgUw
Easy for you to say, Carly said to herself. How she wished she knew where they’re going. The car made a few more turns before slowly coming to a stop. Carly felt her heart beat faster. This is it, they’ve finally arrived.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKfgCIWH7P
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAW5uAi1Ds

603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZHVeW8pzW
The car door opened beside her and she felt the burst of the cold night air. Could they still be near the harbour, she wondered. Alex took both of her hands and she felt awkward as she felt how large and calloused they were, yet he touched her gently. She actually expected him to grab her by the arm and roughly pull her out of the car.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO01oGCDzdE

603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulYjvGehdi
"Relax, I'm just going to close the car door," he said as he walked past her. And just as he had said, he closed it. Carly remained there, breathing in the cold night air and shaking, wondering why all this is happening to her.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZKgzkWkYn
603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMA5w34ehtv

Alex continued to lead Carly on ahead, leaving the men at the gate. As they walked, she felt her surroundings suddenly change. She could tell they are entering a building because she no longer felt the cold night air. She soon heard the clanking sound of metal above and she wondered if those were pipes. The air around them felt warm and damp.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6S3GWIaFrK

She heard something move in front of her like a metal door and Alex soon led her forward again, taking a few steps before stopping. Carly felt like she had entered a different room until she felt the floor move after another buzzing sound came through. It felt like she's in some kind of elevator and they were descending.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbVx4D3pIQ

She felt the elevator stop and the doors behind her draw open. Alex gently turned her around and led her out. There came the sound of soft jazz music playing in the background. Carly now felt a little anxious. Have they arrived at the so-called party?603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ699MdJW3Cl

Carly knew Red Lion stood in front of her and soon enough, he lifted up her blindfold. Carly's eyes had to adjust to the lights as she first looked at Red Lion. Her attention soon diverted to the room. She's shocked to see what's around her.603Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MhJ5T1gvi
