Leo sighed as he checked his phone for what seemed to be the fifth time. Still no message or call from Carly. He really wanted to know how she was doing at the party. At some point, he thought of calling her but knew better not to. She wouldn't hear the phone ring with all the noise at the party. He sent her a text saying that he misses her, but it's been over an hour already, and she still hasn't replied. He put his phone aside and looked up at the dark night sky. There weren't many stars tonight. In fact, there weren't many stars in New York.215Please respect copyright.PENANAWQqQZ5KmeG

After supper, Leo took the liberty of sitting outside on the patio to have some alone time. As usual, his mother took it upon herself to talk about Kim at the table. It didn't surprise him at all, since it was now pretty clear that she was the one who played a crucial role in him having lunch with Kim. Angel and Eric, who sat opposite him, looked on at his mother like whatever she said never mattered to them.215Please respect copyright.PENANAMympVo4tTk
215Please respect copyright.PENANAcLsl24EaqC
215Please respect copyright.PENANAByXdinsHTF
Leo heard his phone beep beside him, and he quickly went for it, thinking that Carly had finally replied to his message. He groaned with annoyance when he saw it was only a notification on one of the social media apps. With that, he turned off the Wi-Fi on his phone. Right now, he doesn't want anything to distract him.215Please respect copyright.PENANAFkusTYAHVU
215Please respect copyright.PENANA6KJje8ConS
215Please respect copyright.PENANATJpVHyJI2I
His mind flew back to Carly, wondering what she could be up to at the party. He hoped no guy was eyeing her like a piece of meat. His fists clenched at the thought of that, and he wished Angel hadn't allowed her to go. Or he would've suggested that he go with her. But that would only look weird since he wasn't invited to begin with.215Please respect copyright.PENANA4URLNQnGXa
215Please respect copyright.PENANAeu1nkXUJMC
215Please respect copyright.PENANAOmEplXxjPb
Leo folded his arms as he continued to look up at the night sky, and soon his mind wandered off to what had happened today. Vigorously shaking his head, he realized that Angel occupied most of his thoughts. He couldn't blame himself, could he? Besides, he had been with her for most of the morning, and then there was the attention she gained at the office. The thought of it annoyed him even more.215Please respect copyright.PENANAq6JRdnfgRT

215Please respect copyright.PENANAgGrl9XJwOW

Leo turned to the back door of the kitchen, and standing there already in a red sleeping robe was his aunt, Diana.215Please respect copyright.PENANAZYScIOu2Bc
215Please respect copyright.PENANApmzRBv8Dzi
215Please respect copyright.PENANA0zXMN3auVV

215Please respect copyright.PENANAeTiRiNKJQB
215Please respect copyright.PENANAmyCFBW6Z6i
"Hey, yourself," she said as she came over to sit on the chair next to him. "Your mind seems occupied. Are you okay? Had a rough day at work?"215Please respect copyright.PENANAXQ1u03KY0H
215Please respect copyright.PENANA43T2eiufce
215Please respect copyright.PENANAjCNshkKWIK
Leo didn't know how to answer her. "Uh, no. Not really," he said.215Please respect copyright.PENANAKOlfKCiAQm
215Please respect copyright.PENANA1IveIqnZmy
215Please respect copyright.PENANAlg1UQnRUn4
"What is it? A girl, perhaps?" Diana asked with an eyebrow raised.215Please respect copyright.PENANAT4R5RwEmT9
215Please respect copyright.PENANALfTlV6PXTb
215Please respect copyright.PENANAB8apkNotUg
Leo's face quickly reddened. He quickly looked up at the sky, but it was already too late, for Diana gave out a giggle.215Please respect copyright.PENANAta5Qs8eMDN
215Please respect copyright.PENANArzFODVDhEe
215Please respect copyright.PENANABFacVCKCK9
"So, I'm right," she said with a smile. "Only a girl can make you shake your head like you did. She must be something, huh?"215Please respect copyright.PENANAG8GU1Bza6w
215Please respect copyright.PENANA09u7ezxDmD
215Please respect copyright.PENANAn5Tt0xxnFP

215Please respect copyright.PENANAmxkd5ih0Zz
215Please respect copyright.PENANAWeath2uLVk
Diana leaned her hand on the armchair as she stared at her nephew, who continued to look up at the sky. "Leonard McDonell, you can't fool me with that look. I know it's a girl you were thinking of just now."215Please respect copyright.PENANApY3Hhy2EBi
215Please respect copyright.PENANAaAQJnVAFPD
215Please respect copyright.PENANAoaadmpEtSa
Leo sighed and wished he hadn't sat out on the patio thinking about Carly at first. But his aunt caught him thinking about Angel instead. How embarrassing, he thought.215Please respect copyright.PENANAqtlHqhZJT7
215Please respect copyright.PENANAQDcSsqEJgk
215Please respect copyright.PENANAT0oVv4tIhE
"So, you were shaking your head like you wanted to shake her out of your mind," Diana continued. "Are you having doubts about whether you like her or not?"215Please respect copyright.PENANACRLudEBh5w
215Please respect copyright.PENANATA4rFcffvw
215Please respect copyright.PENANAvNuVbasziA
"Wait a minute." Leo turned to his aunt, still red-faced. "I'm not thinking of the girl I like."215Please respect copyright.PENANAjr6SbA3XmX
215Please respect copyright.PENANAF1vsLytBv5
215Please respect copyright.PENANAHnmVjjcM0H

215Please respect copyright.PENANAoGd4ZGaD0b
215Please respect copyright.PENANARlt79GI1cv

215Please respect copyright.PENANAd4U3r7FcG3
215Please respect copyright.PENANA4qccGiivb0

215Please respect copyright.PENANAMAcWPOzjCw
215Please respect copyright.PENANAWaSd1JK06x

215Please respect copyright.PENANAmVv5UUZnbP
215Please respect copyright.PENANAZeQku24ezJ

215Please respect copyright.PENANAPPXEGvMGPA
215Please respect copyright.PENANAao0u7KCK9q
Leo scoffed. Unlike his mother, his aunt, apart from Eric, knew Leo all too well. He might be unpredictable to many, but it's always the ones who paid close attention to him who knew him better than he knew himself.215Please respect copyright.PENANAc2ZRmcEowt
215Please respect copyright.PENANA7TdZ4caf8W

"Okay, you got me," said Leo as he put up a smile. "Aren't you going to ask me who it is?"215Please respect copyright.PENANAFDdPcS1kx7
215Please respect copyright.PENANA31kjYXoQFw
215Please respect copyright.PENANACaiZ9jo3BH
"Please, I'm not even going to bother," said Diana, waving her hand. "You'll introduce her to us when the time is right. You aren't going to tell me even if I probe you to right now."215Please respect copyright.PENANA04FkT3FXL9
215Please respect copyright.PENANASr0xMurVGl
215Please respect copyright.PENANA2JkNwDpkWp
Leo smiled even more. It's one of the reasons why he liked Diana and sometimes wished that it was she who was his mother and not Bertha.215Please respect copyright.PENANAVZeeEXu54e
215Please respect copyright.PENANA5k5CD5FVBP
215Please respect copyright.PENANAiV8SnXKeId
"So answer me this," said Diana as she smiled at the night sky. "Are you thinking of the girl you're currently seeing or the other one?"215Please respect copyright.PENANAlOcIQSEGoF
215Please respect copyright.PENANAFBx5jTzMyH
215Please respect copyright.PENANAoi3XqnWMSc

215Please respect copyright.PENANA7wzGjiEN8l
215Please respect copyright.PENANAJrjcx2bFKU
Diana groaned. "You're so impossible that I could smack you in the head." Leo laughed. "Okay. You just said earlier that you are thinking of someone, so I'm guessing it's the other girl."215Please respect copyright.PENANAA38nyShHyT

215Please respect copyright.PENANAt6Nztakg3x
215Please respect copyright.PENANAosoLyMHtgj
"Mmm. Interesting. Can it be that you're stuck between two lovers? What about the one you're currently dating?"215Please respect copyright.PENANAvLRUke6uSl
215Please respect copyright.PENANAlWHnoOcfBA
215Please respect copyright.PENANAde02djrN5R
"First, I don't have two lovers." Leo looked at his aunt, pointing up with two of his fingers. "Second of all, I know who I stand with here."215Please respect copyright.PENANAm1N0NbEEck
215Please respect copyright.PENANAKN0maABcz5
215Please respect copyright.PENANAlXeJPgDqEe
Diana slowly nodded. "I get it. So this other girl just happens to be in your life, but then why think about her?"215Please respect copyright.PENANAYtBUcaThtl
215Please respect copyright.PENANArMwiOXViwD
215Please respect copyright.PENANAMAsPY5IbYi
Leo bit his lip as he thought of how to answer that. "She just randomly came into my mind, that's all."215Please respect copyright.PENANAV5CLfQGG7R
215Please respect copyright.PENANAOZ7IbvNf6V
215Please respect copyright.PENANAwRXtRYG7Lu
"And you shouldn't be thinking about her because of the girl you're currently dating." Diana raised her eyebrows at him. "I get it. You want to be faithful, but somehow this girl just pops up when you least expect it."215Please respect copyright.PENANAyMfd2qK6Ge
215Please respect copyright.PENANAiGJF2ixGTQ
215Please respect copyright.PENANATryIanhklL
Leo couldn't agree with her more, but he made sure to add, "I am faithful to the one I'm currently dating. It's not like I like the other one."215Please respect copyright.PENANAP2Xv5yiDck
215Please respect copyright.PENANAxK05E5su2s
215Please respect copyright.PENANAFdAOR5ADJK
"Leo, you've been stuck with one fish for so long that you never knew the secrets of the dating pool long enough, haven't you?" Diana asked, almost sounding pitiful. Leo knew she sounded like that just to taunt him. He shook his head at her.215Please respect copyright.PENANA1UtwBQl9da
215Please respect copyright.PENANAkeFEUfiWK2
215Please respect copyright.PENANAmUT4pB4hoj
"I wouldn't worry so much if I were you," she continued. "It's good to get out there and meet other women. You're just in the dating stage, and with time, if you think that the girl you're with is right for you, you'll know. But if you happen to change your mind and go for the other one, it's okay. You're human after all."215Please respect copyright.PENANA24GW4usaVD

215Please respect copyright.PENANA1RpgTK59mZ

215Please respect copyright.PENANAa1DTVvRNpx
Leo rolled his eyes as his aunt let go of his chin and stood up from her seat. He knew who his heart belonged to. He might have been thinking about Angel, but that didn't mean anything. We're a long way off from being that close, he thought to himself.215Please respect copyright.PENANAB0fvAmKrgS

Diana smiled at him and went inside. Leo thought it best to go back in as it was starting to get chilly. He checked his phone beside him. There is still no message from Carly. He groaned, and soon his eyes wandered off to the sky again.215Please respect copyright.PENANA1FfURksOXZ

Carly laughed aloud as Andre spun her around. They were dancing to a famous Spanish pop song on the dance floor. They were having so much fun, and Red Lion, from afar, couldn't help but smile as he looked at the pair.215Please respect copyright.PENANAPYiv5m7rLG
215Please respect copyright.PENANALwnvbbzR3H
215Please respect copyright.PENANAgpqi0FPl41
Red Lion stood by the bar counter. He had been walking around, meeting his guests, and asking a few of them if they were enjoying the party. So far, he has come across many positive reviews, and that has delighted him. But nothing pleased him more than seeing Andre having a good time with Carly.215Please respect copyright.PENANAcftKw2UCXg

Through the corner of his eye, Walters came up to him with a glass in his hand. Red Lion could only imagine how much the old man had had to drink.215Please respect copyright.PENANACubmBfTn2t
215Please respect copyright.PENANArRC0zL5hX1
215Please respect copyright.PENANAp2nkVuI3ou
"Hey, I see everything is going well," said Walters as he came to stand next to his comrade. The smell of whisky came off him strongly, and that almost made Red Lion cringe.215Please respect copyright.PENANAFVXGK5DT4D
215Please respect copyright.PENANA8VdqLhkk7W

From above the balcony of the VIP section, Miranda had a drink in hand and was looking down at the people on the dance floor. A few moments ago, she had seen her boss, Mr. Walters, talking to the host of the party, knowing well enough that he was practically drunk. But her eyes were fixed on the Hispanic male who had been in the same booth with Red Lion, dancing with the lady in the gold dress. They were dancing close to each other, their bodies touching occasionally.215Please respect copyright.PENANANuCCtbCRGn
215Please respect copyright.PENANAcUXXpKGOu4
215Please respect copyright.PENANANeNF6u8KOl
Miranda was doing her best to look at the lady's face, but now and then, the lady in the gold dress would either spin around and face the other way as she danced. The disco lights shining on the dance floor made it impossible to see her face, making her draw her attention to the Hispanic male.215Please respect copyright.PENANAYWtd0lyMwf

The cold, salty air filled Carly's nose the minute she stepped onto the deck, looking far out to the New York harbour and the bright city lights behind it. She took in the view, realizing just how beautiful it looked.215Please respect copyright.PENANASXQPASAMSk

Just as he passed through the beaded curtain, he saw Red Lion approach him, waving to get his attention. Alex stood waiting for Red Lion to come closer.215Please respect copyright.PENANAg6VqGYDNBC
215Please respect copyright.PENANAhOdicOJzAn
215Please respect copyright.PENANA7jKBRVNlrx
"How are things?" Red Lion as he spoke in his ear over the loud music.215Please respect copyright.PENANAnF3Lgqu2JI
215Please respect copyright.PENANAsPOkQi8Txq
215Please respect copyright.PENANARU9QyrudX2
"Smoothly," Alex replied. "They're on the deck, sharing an intimate moment."215Please respect copyright.PENANAugmWcmJZuQ

215Please respect copyright.PENANADNYWyatbaT
215Please respect copyright.PENANAsoUvKnxxQ2
"Ah, yes, there is. It's your boss, Walters. He is a whisky away from getting drunk, and I have a funny feeling he might just ruin my plans."215Please respect copyright.PENANA8U2VCxIQY9
215Please respect copyright.PENANA5z07B1OSa2

215Please respect copyright.PENANAbsUUxpkCSG
215Please respect copyright.PENANAQe9fYll2xN
"Apart from being a guest, no. But he might be a nuisance. So find him and take him somewhere where he won't be one."215Please respect copyright.PENANArwjTnmIZHj
215Please respect copyright.PENANA4gk3OoQRPH
215Please respect copyright.PENANABacIdHxUwR
"Understood." Alex gave a nod of the head and made his way to the dance floor, hoping to find his employer.215Please respect copyright.PENANAjjo5qaLbkf
215Please respect copyright.PENANASGZOKth7hK
215Please respect copyright.PENANA3QwTMsZzNJ
Miranda and Candy were on the other side of the dance floor. They had asked for directions to the ladies' room and were on their way there now.215Please respect copyright.PENANAP483YdwCN3
215Please respect copyright.PENANAefKe6BpRGZ
215Please respect copyright.PENANANgUn1TOThx
When they found themselves inside. The purple walls and dimly lit bulbs made the place look like an old-fashioned saloon. Candy went straight to the toilet stalls, while Miranda went over by the sink to look into one of the mirrors. The place was practically empty except for the two ladies.215Please respect copyright.PENANABY4495j7SM
215Please respect copyright.PENANANnmCWSt2Nf
215Please respect copyright.PENANAEjM9ijdgtZ
"Did you see that lady in the gold dress?" Miranda asked as she looked at herself in the mirror and went for her purse that she had with her, looking for her powder puff.215Please respect copyright.PENANAuvORR4pf8a
215Please respect copyright.PENANA20M8JJdXJ2
215Please respect copyright.PENANAcDAqQ1drjY
"The gorgeous lady who stole everyone's attention on the dance floor?" Candy asked from inside the stall. "We all saw her. Why?" 215Please respect copyright.PENANAbaPoSnNOKq
215Please respect copyright.PENANASZaJP2Vukw
215Please respect copyright.PENANArz3AkjVHJW
"Oh, no reason," Miranda replied as she powdered her face.215Please respect copyright.PENANAUzvJOrMnU9
215Please respect copyright.PENANA8Kqps2L9aB
215Please respect copyright.PENANAEgMAlAmDzL
Candy had finished using the toilet and flushed. She came out of the stall and came over to the sink to wash her hands. Her eyes soon fell on Miranda, who had now removed red lipstick from her purse.215Please respect copyright.PENANAmADwRyKHMK
215Please respect copyright.PENANA5DuXXNhfqL
215Please respect copyright.PENANAvWDQ8vmHNN
Miranda felt Candy's eyes on her, and she turned to look at her. She shrugged her shoulders.215Please respect copyright.PENANAjWFH2An92D
215Please respect copyright.PENANAtarDvnLoWe
215Please respect copyright.PENANA6q31VRX6p9
"What is it?" Miranda asked.215Please respect copyright.PENANAqArcwfhT3o
215Please respect copyright.PENANAJHVTLnr3ey
215Please respect copyright.PENANAKfLSnl1mVC
"Oh, nothing," said Candy. She reached out for the paper towel on the side of the mirror to wipe her hands. "It's just that I know when you ask such questions that something's up."215Please respect copyright.PENANAXLijHqi0MT
215Please respect copyright.PENANAA6GybmYf2H
215Please respect copyright.PENANAd2F1VyjO1C
Miranda paused before she could put on the lipstick. "Really? And what could that be?"215Please respect copyright.PENANA2QlpyKiTqn
215Please respect copyright.PENANAs4YNhvCw7j
215Please respect copyright.PENANAANFlo1vbJn
"That hot Hispanic guy caught your attention, didn't he?" Candy asked as she went over to the waste bin in the corner and threw the used paper towel in it.215Please respect copyright.PENANA61TwQQuc75
215Please respect copyright.PENANAG2kelQQ2Vd
215Please respect copyright.PENANAeOzN1kler9
"No, I'm happy with my client. What does that guy have to do with anything?"215Please respect copyright.PENANA38FGGnZJD3
215Please respect copyright.PENANAl3XwioYUaY
215Please respect copyright.PENANAcp82y5QD64
Candy shook her head as she went over to Miranda with her hand on her waist. "You're planning to steal that guy away from that lady, aren't you? Goodness, Miranda, this isn't the club."215Please respect copyright.PENANAlfvBwOA5Nc
215Please respect copyright.PENANArVL4bEEEbC
215Please respect copyright.PENANA1VVrMXqjxU
"What makes you think that?" Miranda now looked a little offended.215Please respect copyright.PENANA0jrNDbt5Su
215Please respect copyright.PENANA4u1rfwwuzA
215Please respect copyright.PENANAYzqwzz16nd
Candy sighed. "Because you always have a tendency to try and get the hottest guy's attention. Even when you know he's already preoccupied with some other call girl, you would do anything to get him."215Please respect copyright.PENANACEyBNEAFGT
215Please respect copyright.PENANA9DWlFQEw1Y
215Please respect copyright.PENANA4oewutqFmT
Miranda rolled her eyes as she turned back to look in a mirror. "That's not true. I don't do that."215Please respect copyright.PENANAxm1hEjFcMw
215Please respect copyright.PENANA9PT8ZD1LVe
215Please respect copyright.PENANACSrkuZuSA3
"Well, you do. That's why you never liked it when Carly was around. Because you knew when it came to it, you couldn't beat her."215Please respect copyright.PENANAIT9v4GUFir
215Please respect copyright.PENANASmlbfmXdcX
215Please respect copyright.PENANABVEWpAHY8P
Miranda now looked at Candy with a deadly stare. "This isn't the club, Candy," she said. "And besides, Carly is long gone."215Please respect copyright.PENANADDZJ4p7d34
215Please respect copyright.PENANAfUVLiIYnK7

215Please respect copyright.PENANAJsWliJipDU
215Please respect copyright.PENANAZJJKUM1swv
Miranda put her lipstick back in her purse, changing her mind not to put it on. "Whatever. You'll find me back up in the VIP lounge."215Please respect copyright.PENANA8ETNnUSQOK
215Please respect copyright.PENANAxuYROV8l0t
215Please respect copyright.PENANAU5IjyGhv87
With her purse in hand, Miranda took her purse and made her way out of the room, leaving Candy all alone.215Please respect copyright.PENANAahJDZJ1p22
215Please respect copyright.PENANAdI2lLhwP3o
215Please respect copyright.PENANAeKUz1kv9RI
The loud music soon made Miranda aware of where she was the moment she stepped out of the ladies room. She is mad at Candy for what she said, and that made her forget a little. She decided to go to the bar nearby before making her way back up to the VIP lounge in need of a drink to raise her spirits.215Please respect copyright.PENANA68jQ7383M9
215Please respect copyright.PENANA7J5JjASMv6
215Please respect copyright.PENANAaLmCIz7Eet
Alex had just finished looking around the dance area for Mr. Walters, and there was still no sign of him. He didn't want to cause himself to panic, so he decided to look in the places that he hadn't checked. He went to the men's room first.215Please respect copyright.PENANALMY0aoNs0m
215Please respect copyright.PENANA8IxzbvOMIL
215Please respect copyright.PENANAnmO2tJSAnY
Candy walked out of the ladies room, trying to forget about the little argument that she had with Miranda. She started to make her way to the VIP lounge when she saw Miranda by the bar, ordering a drink and already talking to a stranger. Candy shook her head and continued on her way.215Please respect copyright.PENANA5SGcQ4fVcJ
215Please respect copyright.PENANARHSu8VV2nI
215Please respect copyright.PENANAcTIxQ5kWK4
On the deck, Carly broke away from her passionate kiss with Andre. They were still so close to each other, with Andre's hand on her waist and the other lifting her chin up to look at him. His face was closer to hers, and that gave him the urge to kiss her even more.215Please respect copyright.PENANAF0Eim0fDLm
215Please respect copyright.PENANArXbRdGel4r
215Please respect copyright.PENANAIgv6vOZJBL
"Too soon, don't you think?" Carly asked as she looked up at him.215Please respect copyright.PENANADcOXVDGhze
215Please respect copyright.PENANAKP7tQgUlyo
215Please respect copyright.PENANAZcHvXZ1yjw
"We can go to some place more private," said Andre. "Away from prying eyes."215Please respect copyright.PENANAyZ8uRzSsH0
215Please respect copyright.PENANA0S56Nsfl7t
215Please respect copyright.PENANACaRCdSqbjk
Carly planted a small kiss on his lips, teasingly, and quickly pulled away before he responded. "Hold that thought for a second," she said. "I'll need to use the restroom real quick."215Please respect copyright.PENANATVxOkZGtuB
215Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6Mszhmuxz
215Please respect copyright.PENANAfPnK1ta9Sc
Andre was a little disappointed but did his best not to show it. "You aren't running away from me, are you?" he asked.215Please respect copyright.PENANANKuDpqXHvC
215Please respect copyright.PENANASkG2ovmC4j
215Please respect copyright.PENANAJrumpCgYYo
Carly scoffed. "If I were, then it would be on a lifeboat."215Please respect copyright.PENANAYWKj3FOfoS
215Please respect copyright.PENANA31oL26PTbb
215Please respect copyright.PENANAHt2B5nbn37
Andre laughed a little before releasing her. Carly backed away from him slowly before turning around to go back inside the ship. He watched her until she was fully out of his sight.215Please respect copyright.PENANAmxTX4Dugp1
215Please respect copyright.PENANAfxaayaZ7kH
215Please respect copyright.PENANApSNInlRxsp
While he was alone, his fingers automatically went to his lips, already reminiscing over the kiss. He licked them and realized that he could not wait to taste her again. He soon chuckled. No one has ever made him feel like this. Absolutely no one.215Please respect copyright.PENANAYFzRLWDdlu
215Please respect copyright.PENANAeVeHaBwVcF
215Please respect copyright.PENANAzTWp4Gxlwm
Carly had just bypassed the buffet table, and she couldn't help but slow down to take a deep breath. Kissing Andre was definitely something. She wasn't surprised that he had moved fast on her. What amazed her was how passionately he kissed her. She couldn't help but also admit that he was a good kisser, too.215Please respect copyright.PENANAlPRaH2ILtV
215Please respect copyright.PENANAg70Nlly9Sx
215Please respect copyright.PENANAlEsZPMC5WG
She shook her head, telling herself that all this was just a job and nothing else. Besides, falling for Andre would be risky for her. Not when she is in a relationship with someone else. All this will pass, she told herself. It's not like she will ever meet him again after tonight, will she?215Please respect copyright.PENANARo74D5Eeu4
215Please respect copyright.PENANAHHtmqyp0yP
215Please respect copyright.PENANAjxq2wPzn8l
Before Carly could walk through the beaded curtain, she stopped in her tracks as she thought over it. Were they likely to meet again? Red Lion told her that she was only meant to keep Andre company. While she's doing that, what is he doing now?215Please respect copyright.PENANAqq2SJJfzf9
215Please respect copyright.PENANAsqC54Cct7C
215Please respect copyright.PENANA6nye9SQaOT
Carly couldn't help but feel infuriated. Red Lion was up to something, and he was using her to get it. She already knew that, but what made her so upset was that he didn't fully explain why he needed her for this. She thought he had told her all that she wanted to know, but her intuition made her realize that there was something much bigger than this.215Please respect copyright.PENANABDcbxYROAP
215Please respect copyright.PENANAynvJ7CIzWi
215Please respect copyright.PENANALaEYC6Q8E4
She walked through the curtains, finding herself back on the dance floor. Her eyes darted around the room, hoping to find Red Lion, but he was nowhere in sight. She made her way to the dance floor, not realizing that from afar she had fallen into someone's sights, and they stopped whatever they were doing and started to make their way over to her, bumping into people in their wake.215Please respect copyright.PENANA8xAg0HRzNv
215Please respect copyright.PENANAFFrnQBl11y
215Please respect copyright.PENANAYUhVggp5jh
Alex walked out of the men's room, disappointed not to find Mr. Walters in there. He started to make his approach to the bar. Many people were ordering their drinks, and he wondered if Mr. Walters might have come back for another round. He stood at a distance when he heard a few loud mutters on the dance floor, which caught his attention.215Please respect copyright.PENANAiJDJOA24bX
215Please respect copyright.PENANAaYhmBuV3UJ
215Please respect copyright.PENANAMV0EDXYvOo
He turned his head to the dance floor when he saw a group of people complaining. One of the girls had an empty glass in her hand and was looking down at her chest. Someone had spilled her drink over her maroon dress. A few of her friends turned their heads towards the culprit, calling the person names. Alex turned to the person they were name-calling, and that's when his eyes saw Carly in the middle of the dance floor, unaware of what was coming to her.215Please respect copyright.PENANAxYUcl6M76T
215Please respect copyright.PENANAMzrr8z0MnJ
215Please respect copyright.PENANAuU219Qfzwj
Carly found it hard to move around without trying so hard not to bump into people dancing all around her. She wondered why she didn't just go around the dance floor instead of walking right into it. And she's about to find out what a stupid mistake that was.215Please respect copyright.PENANAq2U9Lytg8T
215Please respect copyright.PENANA0RTJUs59aJ
215Please respect copyright.PENANApAJI1Kz5De
"Carly!"215Please respect copyright.PENANA4htjZQno8V
215Please respect copyright.PENANA8RfynPAk7M
215Please respect copyright.PENANAHx0Q9eB20q
Even with the loud music playing so loudly, she heard someone call out her name loud and clear. She stood still while people all around her danced, oblivious that she was even there. Meanwhile, Carly felt her heart jump to her mouth. She felt like she had just found herself in a horror movie, and she didn't know whether to keep still or make a run for it. But to where?215Please respect copyright.PENANAlqXDiRw39C
215Please respect copyright.PENANAvFMpK3Am0B
215Please respect copyright.PENANAzsVgdTFDjy
She automatically turned to whoever had called out her name, and in an instant, she saw Alex blast his way towards her, pushing people aside. She also noticed Mr. Walters standing a few feet behind him, but one of Red Lion's men had stood next to him, holding tightly onto his shoulder. Was he the one who had called her? She looked at Alex, who stood in front of her.215Please respect copyright.PENANAH8bzoeyVgZ
215Please respect copyright.PENANA5aHrhOh9rM
215Please respect copyright.PENANAWvzCYci26a
"What's going on?" Carly asked as she caught sight of Mr. Walters being dragged off the dance floor by the guard. He looked quite drunk.215Please respect copyright.PENANAdPpy2LA4ab
215Please respect copyright.PENANASZeBxL5pkH
215Please respect copyright.PENANA79VvsI4MUr
"Stopping Mr. Walters from causing a catastrophe," Alex answered aloud through the loud music. "He's drunk. And something tells me that after seeing you, he was going to ruin everything."215Please respect copyright.PENANAWSVthbl3V3
215Please respect copyright.PENANAiI9KLO9OEJ
215Please respect copyright.PENANAwCebt3olso
Now that they were talking about the plan, Carly looked up at Alex to ask him something. But before she could even say a word, he took her by the arm and led her away from the dance floor.215Please respect copyright.PENANAOJmFb5CTcx
215Please respect copyright.PENANARCT9OHDE5q
215Please respect copyright.PENANA8NPdRUehIQ
"Unhand me, you brute!" As Red Lion's security escorted Mr. Walters off the dance floor, he exclaimed.215Please respect copyright.PENANAAgqysrh6Xd
215Please respect copyright.PENANAJvxzpfe6p2
215Please respect copyright.PENANAQdNcDc56Zx
Mr. Walters' voice, despite the loud music, reached Miranda's ears by the bar. She soon turned her attention to what was happening behind her and noticed her boss being dragged away by a large man in a black suit. She wondered what could be going on as the guard dragged Mr. Walters up the stairs. Guessing by the way Mr. Walters looked, Miranda knew her boss was completely drunk. He tends to lose control sometimes, and she was thankful that the guard handled him appropriately. It's that way at the club, too. Whenever he was on a drinking spree, every employee had to be wary of him. Usually, they would lock him up in his office till he sobered down a little.215Please respect copyright.PENANA0cC5wNGTLY
215Please respect copyright.PENANARiW32quFYl
215Please respect copyright.PENANAMuxFCD2ARw
Before turning her attention to the man she was talking to, she got a glimpse of the woman in the gold dress in the middle of the dance floor. She didn't know if she was seeing things, but she saw the man who had brought her into the party take hold of the lady's arm, dragging her away from the dance floor. This made Miranda raise an eyebrow. Wasn't the lady with that handsome Hispanic man a while ago?215Please respect copyright.PENANAXov3v1WEiu
215Please respect copyright.PENANAlGK249dN3m
215Please respect copyright.PENANAzXLJEKjqRJ
Miranda soon got distracted, and her eyes darted back up the stairs, where she saw Mr. Walters being forcibly dragged back into the VIP lounge. She looked back at the dance floor to the spot where she last saw the woman, but she had disappeared from sight along with the man who had dragged her away.215Please respect copyright.PENANAIdS8tQDzY7
215Please respect copyright.PENANAkLiDpIwsCr
215Please respect copyright.PENANACM2ga0Yhvv
She turned back to her company but excused herself after she finished her drinking, telling him she would be back, but she knew that was far from happening. Likewise, she made her way around the dance floor, looking for the lady in the gold dress.215Please respect copyright.PENANAGMeONus9Kz

215Please respect copyright.PENANAo16WbKforT
Alex and Carly had just left the dance floor and gone on to the outside deck on the other side of the ship. Alex was well aware of which side of the ship Andre was on. There were few people on the deck. Some of them had just come off the dance floor for a bit of air. Alex made sure to take a look around before turning to Carly.215Please respect copyright.PENANAzD9Aoltc3g
215Please respect copyright.PENANAytfabjSS8p
215Please respect copyright.PENANAOGlxRfiUeK
"Thanks for what you did back there," Carly said as she looked at him. "Who knows what Mr. Walters would've done if he had reached me?"215Please respect copyright.PENANAEzexss2lD2
215Please respect copyright.PENANAyvRNuhU7Vb
215Please respect copyright.PENANANmn1KmBo0L
"That's why Red Lion told me to look out for him," said Alex. "If he caused a scene, I'm afraid he would've blown your cover."215Please respect copyright.PENANAxzkmvOtB2M
215Please respect copyright.PENANAqXS7tCPSmv
215Please respect copyright.PENANAArzUU1txkb
Carly nervously laughed. "It looks like he is still mad at me for leaving the club."215Please respect copyright.PENANAYHVTKWVsAn
215Please respect copyright.PENANAmgfXyHm2Nn
215Please respect copyright.PENANAcrJTSpm8ff
"Yeah, it seems that way. He never really liked the idea of you being part of all this. He preferred using his own girls instead."215Please respect copyright.PENANADjCof7yLvV
215Please respect copyright.PENANAdQsS3Iuh7I
215Please respect copyright.PENANAtg2uJs2tXq
"Speaking of the plan," said Carly, thankful for Alex for bringing it up again, "what is it, exactly?"215Please respect copyright.PENANAiVCOKTk7v8
215Please respect copyright.PENANA9RZS85N42I
215Please respect copyright.PENANArm200En1oV
"Now is not the time for that. We don't want to keep Andre waiting. Where were you heading anyway? I thought you were with him on the other side of the ship."215Please respect copyright.PENANA7vHIr9gOUm
215Please respect copyright.PENANAS3X9E0cPkk
215Please respect copyright.PENANAK1IsHqiK1a

215Please respect copyright.PENANA5HIoB8AqD2
215Please respect copyright.PENANAdYtJl1q9TV
"Okay, but be careful. I thought I saw one of Mr. Walters' call girls down here. When we get back in, we will both go our separate ways. Just do your best not to be seen."215Please respect copyright.PENANAeNGV8I3EeX
215Please respect copyright.PENANAm771Jz9wwc
215Please respect copyright.PENANAzvcQkNLFGJ
Carly gave a nod of her head, and the two made their way back into the party.215Please respect copyright.PENANA1EdDzPcIXX
215Please respect copyright.PENANAvXs0nqiKfI
215Please respect copyright.PENANAgX34TxiD3m
Miranda kept herself on the dance floor, looking for the pair. There were so many people that she found it quite difficult to pinpoint them. As she continued to look around, she mistakenly bumped into someone. She looked up, and she found herself face-to-face with the host of the party.215Please respect copyright.PENANAGAWTyMZDgS
215Please respect copyright.PENANArZiFcOOLe8
215Please respect copyright.PENANAjECHSDl7eR
"Oh, I am so sorry," said Miranda as she tried to walk around him.215Please respect copyright.PENANAFYH6a7F7vW
215Please respect copyright.PENANAMLOwuYluCR
215Please respect copyright.PENANAQGEfKwNZI9
"Wait a minute," said Red Lion as he stopped her by holding her arm. "Aren't you one of the call girls from Mr. Walters' club?"215Please respect copyright.PENANAE24yRr4NNL
215Please respect copyright.PENANATHJX9AAphJ
215Please respect copyright.PENANAGzCGS7q1YS
Miranda's eyes widened a little. Had she somehow gotten his attention?215Please respect copyright.PENANA5y90GlWC9L
215Please respect copyright.PENANAJJemoAMjiP
215Please respect copyright.PENANAMx4x5lawkZ
"Yes," she replied as she smiled at him. "Is there anything you need from me?"215Please respect copyright.PENANAl1NHika6e3
215Please respect copyright.PENANADi9H0UmJQ5
215Please respect copyright.PENANACMUrUMHaTA
"Well, yes," Red Lion replied, also with a smile. "You left a client unattended in the VIP room, and he was looking for you. I hired you for your services, not for you to wander around."215Please respect copyright.PENANA2zpvJP63hG
215Please respect copyright.PENANAzId349sNnH
215Please respect copyright.PENANAV5pKLSXEUy
Miranda felt a dark curtain fall over her. She didn't expect the host to answer her like he did. He might be smiling at her, but there was something dark behind it. She felt her heart start to race as she felt like she stood face-to-face with a monster.215Please respect copyright.PENANAArZ4DGpLkG
215Please respect copyright.PENANAn2befhDgAJ
215Please respect copyright.PENANAkynI6t03qa
"Aren't you going?" Red Lion asked as he let go of her arm. "I'm not paying you for nothing, am I?"215Please respect copyright.PENANAfnfyVUEDGa
215Please respect copyright.PENANAuuBqPIIm9e
215Please respect copyright.PENANAz17hB5HOGF
Miranda quickly made her way for the stairs, and she could feel Red Lion's eyes on her, like any wrong move she made, would send her flying out of this ship. She would have to forget pursuing the woman in the gold dress, and maybe even Andre, if she had at some point found him alone before Red Lion found her.215Please respect copyright.PENANAxuIl0DYJZC
215Please respect copyright.PENANAnHmoYwwRPF
215Please respect copyright.PENANAzafHKGyv8w
As she continued up the stairs, she noticed the man who was with the woman in the gold dress coming in the same direction she would've gone if it weren't for the host. She realized that he was alone. Likewise, she paused for a minute to look around for the woman in the gold dress. From where she stood, she had a view of the entire dance floor. The dark eyes of Red Lion below her captured her attention instead, like a beacon. She didn't waste any time as she continued her climb up to the VIP lounge.215Please respect copyright.PENANA5REHDtKPMq
215Please respect copyright.PENANAY7HCMIKDKb

215Please respect copyright.PENANAJroZqGyu88
"I heard what you did with Walters," said Red Lion as he turned to Alex. "Good work. He would've blown Carly's cover if Andre happened to be there. Not to mention that hus call girl was also here. And something tells me she should be watched."215Please respect copyright.PENANAgJI1GfwB49

"No, but if she were to have come close, she would have. I saw her looking around the room like she was looking for someone. Carly might have attracted her attention and wanted to meet her. Girls like her can really be a pain. You keep an eye out for any of Walters' girls."215Please respect copyright.PENANAJMSFU7tfFl

Red Lion started to make his way up the stairs while Alex continued to make his rounds. From where he stood, he saw the door to the ladies room fly open. Two women walked out, and before the door could close, Carly appeared, quickly holding the door and going in.215Please respect copyright.PENANAQP41yZtEyB

Carly first went to the sinks. This is when she realized how close things had been with Walters. Not only that, she had noticed Miranda atop the stairs, looking around. Had she been looking for her? Carly shook her head, convincing herself that Miranda couldn't have recognized her. Alex did say to look out for one of Walter's girls. Could he have been referring to Miranda? Whatever the case, she had to be careful from now on.215Please respect copyright.PENANApHQokxSvPP

After using the ladies room, she left the room, heading back to where she left Andre. She noticed that there were many guards around the dance floor area, but not enough to make anyone suspicious.215Please respect copyright.PENANAVi0IuYUzoy

She found Andre waiting for her on the deck, overlooking the sea. Carly couldn't help but stare at him from behind. This is when she started to notice his features. He was slightly taller than her, even when she had heels on. And even in his red, dazzling suit, she could tell that he had a strong physique. She noticed that he had a tattoo up the back of his neck that managed to show behind his collar. She became curious about what kind of tattoo it was.215Please respect copyright.PENANAwlfSBM6rtp

Andre turned around, as if he knew she had been standing there. He smiled at her as he held out his hand. Carly found herself drawing out hers, and he swiftly took it and pulled her close to him. Carly felt her heart beat even faster. There's no denying that there's something about Andre that makes her feel like this.215Please respect copyright.PENANAtWOiOqGAQ0

"You're back," said Andre as he looked down at her, his arms now wrapped around her waist. He soon bit his lower lip, and that made Carly feel a tingle down her spine. "Should we continue where we left off?"215Please respect copyright.PENANAv2eWcMPkDy

Without a moment's hesitation, Carly found herself whispering, "Yes," quickly planting her lips on his.
