"Do you really have to stay out for too long?" Angel asked Carly over the phone. "I mean, you just started going there, and have you forgotten that you came home late last time?"511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiOBSeIWpW

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. And she realised that with her mother gone, she now has a big responsibility of taking care of Carly. It will be tough.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzFP6ZpwGj

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.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrocffWjC2

511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuTTDxzN5T
"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."511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6KTNlCeHJ

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.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHMJhb1cz5

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.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIieB6DOsC7

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?511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzw1b7BwA5j
511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDoZGDuJsr
511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkZCU6DLv6
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.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaLY3wXd1j

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.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOaUFvvYG41

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.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzt0roBFnT1

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.

She’s glad she got through to Angel and made up a lie that she’s not very proud of. But she had to find a way to not go home tonight and she had to use Robin as her scapegoat. As guilty as she felt, she knew it had to be done.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlJ8BLFIvW

The doors to the elevator flew open. It's empty and the three of them went in. Before the doors closed, they noticed Mr. McDonell and Mr. Wilson in the lobby of the office, talking.

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. Even after his bachelor party and his wedding got cancelled, he is still seeing Carly. They're probably lovers now, she thought.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatZtQDs7rs

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.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6pin9WwZd

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.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDh31sTbqg

She went straight for her locker upon entering the room when she felt her phone vibrate in her hand. Mr. Walters is calling.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmVUq4Nd5s
511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKpp0zWgki
511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3uut1LEgD
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.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROTUHERwyd

"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."511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvI9tdKH0WY

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'.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS15k8ttoKJ

"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."511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5ab4CZG5G

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.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUigKGsl6w0

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.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYu3wGyCYU7

511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8syIHOtYq
"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?"511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNz5aV617L
511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡht2n3K4SsS
511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluVPj0T1FN
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.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOn8UdouODw

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.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ0NQOMCHsF

511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMP0voGsE7
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.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EK2PFuG1o

511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJysUiz0sW
511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiOrPePGOE
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.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWJIasVrzy

511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdZytvyico
511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93W8zsHq0k
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.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRSPr9rbtL
511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZREi3czOcy
511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLgRMtnWDn

511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEugKREOWg

511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeUhQJTkZm
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.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaONyUT65yh

511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsDSXQJetF
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.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcbY0NjOCn

"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.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidMSN8hLvQ
511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2NFCe6ZiA0

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.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eMpBGpPRr

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.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwAbftfcfu

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.511Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwcP5DZQGB
