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.457Please respect copyright.PENANA6iCfNUznmz

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.457Please respect copyright.PENANAqyLoZjYZ4M
457Please respect copyright.PENANAOZQOxtLGZ4
457Please respect copyright.PENANAoB8wi83l95
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.457Please respect copyright.PENANAGHLtzpPcDr
457Please respect copyright.PENANAdR5jPoXA17
457Please respect copyright.PENANAD4wOci2LpW
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.457Please respect copyright.PENANAh3T8eQCieE
457Please respect copyright.PENANAmZg0iv2fnz
457Please respect copyright.PENANASHljRvljUJ
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.457Please respect copyright.PENANAHHiL5p4X28

Leo turned to the back door of the kitchen, and standing there already in a red sleeping robe was his aunt, Diana.457Please respect copyright.PENANAUyyJthnUm8
457Please respect copyright.PENANAhxq62fwTYf
457Please respect copyright.PENANACoz97TGjfx
"Oh, hey," said Leo as he straightened himself on the chair.457Please respect copyright.PENANA10rLjIgonm
457Please respect copyright.PENANAacwGh56fat
457Please respect copyright.PENANA3bBAx79sP4
"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?"457Please respect copyright.PENANAekv1ojXeiJ
457Please respect copyright.PENANA233nltwmZO
457Please respect copyright.PENANALkRFnnionC
Leo didn't know how to answer her. "Uh, no. Not really," he said.457Please respect copyright.PENANAFjQsStm0r1
457Please respect copyright.PENANAXVLyYKRy6J
457Please respect copyright.PENANAK2PMc55cI1
"What is it? A girl, perhaps?" Diana asked with an eyebrow raised.457Please respect copyright.PENANA4vQL03QF2e
457Please respect copyright.PENANAMIGLGXCf95
457Please respect copyright.PENANAe0VybszTi8
Leo's face quickly reddened. He quickly looked up at the sky, but it was already too late, for Diana gave out a giggle.457Please respect copyright.PENANALMgVfBZcAH
457Please respect copyright.PENANAu1JMGoouza
457Please respect copyright.PENANACJLRb9PscM
"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?"457Please respect copyright.PENANAJShVft6Un2
457Please respect copyright.PENANAdEw6x9jr8I
457Please respect copyright.PENANAmPR6dMWYhM

457Please respect copyright.PENANA7gujRuQPQm
457Please respect copyright.PENANA4LzqcbWxWs
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."457Please respect copyright.PENANAybP89ncgoQ
457Please respect copyright.PENANAD6bc2X4l5s
457Please respect copyright.PENANAXJiBwjPF5U
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.457Please respect copyright.PENANAhzehEEK0Gq
457Please respect copyright.PENANAMhTaXuif2C
457Please respect copyright.PENANAlE8fxC2uha
"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?"457Please respect copyright.PENANASwdOwULrXC
457Please respect copyright.PENANAFcYdjSDRQj
457Please respect copyright.PENANAfUuHh3aEh8
"Wait a minute." Leo turned to his aunt, still red-faced. "I'm not thinking of the girl I like."457Please respect copyright.PENANAOn1yafBs4C
457Please respect copyright.PENANAImkPXNkfTn
457Please respect copyright.PENANA2j4tlV67PP

457Please respect copyright.PENANAeACsN9XbRq
457Please respect copyright.PENANAQvIxYVtkGC

457Please respect copyright.PENANAdMerV7S9Ps
457Please respect copyright.PENANAU8G9ZCCLaN
Leo furrowed his eyebrows. "What makes you think that I'm seeing someone?" he asked.457Please respect copyright.PENANAJUROCN1d9j
457Please respect copyright.PENANARx78tIXK1h
457Please respect copyright.PENANAf6SiIFsyQi

457Please respect copyright.PENANAkVxWUiZjet
457Please respect copyright.PENANAhg7dGc2kmC

457Please respect copyright.PENANAdetiAEhm1r
457Please respect copyright.PENANAYBBa9gUwke
"And also, your recent behaviour after the wedding showed that you were seeing someone. I thought I was wrong at first, but it looks like I was right."457Please respect copyright.PENANA1nufyV7Bll
457Please respect copyright.PENANAyAEZuUfITD
457Please respect copyright.PENANA8nXmJy7SIh
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.457Please respect copyright.PENANAEEnDVrn9Zs
457Please respect copyright.PENANAs4TMDiv5UD
457Please respect copyright.PENANAOuy8wrVvD8
"Okay, you got me," said Leo as he put up a smile. "Aren't you going to ask me who it is?"457Please respect copyright.PENANAS99BLYd3j1
457Please respect copyright.PENANAkpcD6wrDiY
457Please respect copyright.PENANA2Gj8S3KXVm
"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."457Please respect copyright.PENANAsaqUPYtfTn
457Please respect copyright.PENANA8LJ5a2leBc
457Please respect copyright.PENANA5wpMgJGDSR
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.457Please respect copyright.PENANAJEcJVhWE2x
457Please respect copyright.PENANA1cXamCon9v
457Please respect copyright.PENANAx50noLXkY7
"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?"457Please respect copyright.PENANA9vErMZJPIX
457Please respect copyright.PENANAKwr8Tv5P0z
457Please respect copyright.PENANAAwhf86aKj5
Leo looked at his aunt and answered, "Since you claim to know me so well, why don't you answer that?"457Please respect copyright.PENANAurjK23nWox
457Please respect copyright.PENANAoIc1Ne6FlZ
457Please respect copyright.PENANA1tNo0AbgMj
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."457Please respect copyright.PENANAGXlxE6PL27

457Please respect copyright.PENANAGo2Uo35AdQ
457Please respect copyright.PENANAxfSFUHJRm7

457Please respect copyright.PENANA3GDmq10AWJ
457Please respect copyright.PENANAGTWWMpIfWR
"Mmm. Interesting. Can it be that you're stuck between two lovers? What about the one you're currently dating?"457Please respect copyright.PENANADJmAZz8ejZ
457Please respect copyright.PENANAOpecreMXLk
457Please respect copyright.PENANAp2R0Ce52u2
"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."457Please respect copyright.PENANAHCkCEJpIAK
457Please respect copyright.PENANAr9nVIpivFt
457Please respect copyright.PENANAF5Gedmapzh
Diana slowly nodded. "I get it. So this other girl just happens to be in your life, but then why think about her?"457Please respect copyright.PENANAjkp67h2Tvy
457Please respect copyright.PENANAp1MB3hBNXK
457Please respect copyright.PENANAUDYX0Zh9Qi
Leo bit his lip as he thought of how to answer that. "She just randomly came into my mind, that's all."457Please respect copyright.PENANA8h5nSfJsm8
457Please respect copyright.PENANAm2a043zETX
457Please respect copyright.PENANAgLbGUBhcNK
"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."457Please respect copyright.PENANA4IaSYxoasY
457Please respect copyright.PENANAiTnkSefyJj
457Please respect copyright.PENANAUO4Lr5fEGm
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."457Please respect copyright.PENANAkzOKoiZsUe
457Please respect copyright.PENANAcrdAufxtBp
457Please respect copyright.PENANAr233yb2xae
"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.457Please respect copyright.PENANAn4E5IkhIDa
457Please respect copyright.PENANAU0Z1p5NFY1
457Please respect copyright.PENANATeg3QzskWI
"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."457Please respect copyright.PENANA07DtXJgSYp
457Please respect copyright.PENANAjSqSR3BaTO

457Please respect copyright.PENANA6yCk8KfDFw
457Please respect copyright.PENANAshX00PNGOk

457Please respect copyright.PENANAkmTq3j8uGp

457Please respect copyright.PENANAZX4N1nnkkB

457Please respect copyright.PENANAguX4GAxq3G
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.457Please respect copyright.PENANAiWgaX2DJzP

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.457Please respect copyright.PENANAqqkKmGgLD2
457Please respect copyright.PENANAqTIcFScw2j

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.457Please respect copyright.PENANAVQrM6CCKvL
457Please respect copyright.PENANAFrjfCfbIiL
457Please respect copyright.PENANALDjhZX9Ndk
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.457Please respect copyright.PENANALMLghTNGu6

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.457Please respect copyright.PENANA18LtSgwJV3
457Please respect copyright.PENANA40yQvd03Sg
457Please respect copyright.PENANADFj6tT8mbf

457Please respect copyright.PENANAgCKPGWgo9G
457Please respect copyright.PENANAaLxHQwFr3K

457Please respect copyright.PENANAMTV5Fci0e5

"Oh, you sour puss." Walters hit Red Lion's shoulder. "It's a party; come on. Everything is going according to plan, right? Those two are having a blast, so why should you worry? Carly is very good at what she does."457Please respect copyright.PENANAZyUShoucLQ

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.457Please respect copyright.PENANAXGSWbZM85U
457Please respect copyright.PENANA6UCO0NFlSX
457Please respect copyright.PENANAdf1klqjUQS
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.457Please respect copyright.PENANA56xd26kV3o
457Please respect copyright.PENANAerjPpciENE

457Please respect copyright.PENANAjUNaIaGzug
457Please respect copyright.PENANAlrpCNtxj2w
Miranda looked around, hoping to see a door or a sign that showed where the rooms could be. She shook her head, saying that she had no idea.457Please respect copyright.PENANAshdqa77MJZ
457Please respect copyright.PENANAYUamjtoOjz

457Please respect copyright.PENANA7iSVDAey11
457Please respect copyright.PENANAmEk6mHp2PJ
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.457Please respect copyright.PENANABbydSciGJ5
457Please respect copyright.PENANAVzgqUZwMIK

457Please respect copyright.PENANAaiel88D7sc
457Please respect copyright.PENANAvx1utYKmmx
"Well, let's just say I've heard those words too many times." Carly gave him a mocking look, wiggling her eyebrows.457Please respect copyright.PENANAz8m285A70C
457Please respect copyright.PENANA61q3uwEUUz
457Please respect copyright.PENANAafp8lnhsy2

457Please respect copyright.PENANA2elPAAEGKA
Andre didn't say anything as he continued to look at her. Then, unexpectedly, he planted his lips on Carly's, drawing her closer as he held the small of her back. Carly expected as much as she responded to his kiss.457Please respect copyright.PENANA2fChfeig58

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.457Please respect copyright.PENANAuJ5XzI0INI
457Please respect copyright.PENANAnMWp9MYncO
457Please respect copyright.PENANARS3H2MGxGu

457Please respect copyright.PENANApl8YnWSZCO
457Please respect copyright.PENANAC8ZjH9ylIa

457Please respect copyright.PENANAf968nfmv12

457Please respect copyright.PENANAORohkfJQf4
457Please respect copyright.PENANAmQe8lqkZqh
"Understood." Alex gave a nod of the head and made his way to the dance floor, hoping to find his employer.457Please respect copyright.PENANAnAZUCm4o1q
457Please respect copyright.PENANAofduDEsAfN
457Please respect copyright.PENANAV1S1iGvCR4
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.457Please respect copyright.PENANAwuu7BX87BM
457Please respect copyright.PENANAfkGjXMeQe1
457Please respect copyright.PENANAugM3FXP66C
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.457Please respect copyright.PENANAX81qdB2GoB
457Please respect copyright.PENANAHCGDj0AfIA
457Please respect copyright.PENANAsbqMiu7Emq
"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.457Please respect copyright.PENANAWk17q7xB7l
457Please respect copyright.PENANAAd5K15ATFs
457Please respect copyright.PENANA1hk4gUv0Tq
"The gorgeous lady who stole everyone's attention on the dance floor?" Candy asked from inside the stall. "We all saw her. Why?" 457Please respect copyright.PENANA33H5u7zbAZ
457Please respect copyright.PENANA8h70aA5hYQ
457Please respect copyright.PENANAIwwfvpIMgy
"Oh, no reason," Miranda replied as she powdered her face.457Please respect copyright.PENANA7iECPJOPqp
457Please respect copyright.PENANAn367mnSn7L
457Please respect copyright.PENANAwIPue6Ug3v
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.457Please respect copyright.PENANA9x4ThCR54k
457Please respect copyright.PENANA5A2DBaEKJ5
457Please respect copyright.PENANAFzz8JimZUZ
Miranda felt Candy's eyes on her, and she turned to look at her. She shrugged her shoulders.457Please respect copyright.PENANAJUOY4l5T85
457Please respect copyright.PENANA6JiF3nvv2H
457Please respect copyright.PENANA24INXtfH6c
"What is it?" Miranda asked.457Please respect copyright.PENANALprOwobmW1
457Please respect copyright.PENANA53HjxMzfHt
457Please respect copyright.PENANAW955kVBrJd
"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."457Please respect copyright.PENANAzV37ExcETQ
457Please respect copyright.PENANAyyGjVJUrd8
457Please respect copyright.PENANA2Yg7aGpQbA
Miranda paused before she could put on the lipstick. "Really? And what could that be?"457Please respect copyright.PENANAz3IcWTV4km
457Please respect copyright.PENANAGCREWTfNY5
457Please respect copyright.PENANASaMmzlcigh
"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.457Please respect copyright.PENANAjJJxs4aXaK
457Please respect copyright.PENANA5ECmUXE56Z
457Please respect copyright.PENANAZRS4PhmfuB

457Please respect copyright.PENANACjlGaOLI7O
457Please respect copyright.PENANAaDhCGUSn5d
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."457Please respect copyright.PENANAUEhVXGF7u2
457Please respect copyright.PENANAtPX4T2sTlV
457Please respect copyright.PENANAdqUY59bvoV
"What makes you think that?" Miranda now looked a little offended.457Please respect copyright.PENANAjDpSBO82lS
457Please respect copyright.PENANARER1D7GRGr
457Please respect copyright.PENANAPAeVOlISQe
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."457Please respect copyright.PENANAiFkg4GK63P
457Please respect copyright.PENANALfCZ7vyk7y
457Please respect copyright.PENANARLiIZNXETU
Miranda rolled her eyes as she turned back to look in a mirror. "That's not true. I don't do that."457Please respect copyright.PENANAzTyQwhPUAt
457Please respect copyright.PENANAh6R6TJ0OSY
457Please respect copyright.PENANAXdEqyk2a4B
"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."457Please respect copyright.PENANA4zOTZHEKJT
457Please respect copyright.PENANAliQ7crHJT6
457Please respect copyright.PENANAeXGnRAXu45
Miranda now looked at Candy with a deadly stare. "This isn't the club, Candy," she said. "And besides, Carly is long gone."457Please respect copyright.PENANAp5OqEXb9Gf
457Please respect copyright.PENANAag5uujOlke

457Please respect copyright.PENANA9rmtJRdjfW
457Please respect copyright.PENANAnpAflb00js
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."457Please respect copyright.PENANA0uAptp7cHQ
457Please respect copyright.PENANAWmzgrRxWFp
457Please respect copyright.PENANAEH8xgwQPRb
With her purse in hand, Miranda took her purse and made her way out of the room, leaving Candy all alone.457Please respect copyright.PENANAiOhgs135PF
457Please respect copyright.PENANAjMhZEaSkUe
457Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0qJJ6QgTe
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.457Please respect copyright.PENANADT6mNvszj5
457Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1k6jk4vYE
457Please respect copyright.PENANA1h7uhNRHUS
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.457Please respect copyright.PENANAA3r8Jg7ywX
457Please respect copyright.PENANADOmYIn3XbL
457Please respect copyright.PENANAsAABlhfgwB
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.457Please respect copyright.PENANAR88w5T4fl3
457Please respect copyright.PENANACXNiM9Aeeu
457Please respect copyright.PENANA6qSwW4a9U4
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.457Please respect copyright.PENANAHbgqdvH90w
457Please respect copyright.PENANARupnxgwQfH
457Please respect copyright.PENANAUwck9YhuiH
"Too soon, don't you think?" Carly asked as she looked up at him.457Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7rV4gEGSl
457Please respect copyright.PENANAbTq9RS5vOy
457Please respect copyright.PENANA3US0BBxo3a
"We can go to some place more private," said Andre. "Away from prying eyes."457Please respect copyright.PENANAn5Je530Tir
457Please respect copyright.PENANAO565APWK3l
457Please respect copyright.PENANAoItjlRlpOo
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."457Please respect copyright.PENANABqKEGAPOa9
457Please respect copyright.PENANAiN7czX9EEP
457Please respect copyright.PENANAwx9UZ344ft
Andre was a little disappointed but did his best not to show it. "You aren't running away from me, are you?" he asked.457Please respect copyright.PENANAzJhoQ5xXNa
457Please respect copyright.PENANAiju8tKYjRe
457Please respect copyright.PENANAKWPkBfH0ps
Carly scoffed. "If I were, then it would be on a lifeboat."457Please respect copyright.PENANA04xnTKtpuz
457Please respect copyright.PENANAOuOUziP7bj
457Please respect copyright.PENANAYpnq2N8xC9
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.457Please respect copyright.PENANA2sgKdiZoDp
457Please respect copyright.PENANADcRrhxjoja
457Please respect copyright.PENANAJo6YNN2PoX
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.457Please respect copyright.PENANAb6bbrM3SJQ
457Please respect copyright.PENANAstlLHxJEQC
457Please respect copyright.PENANAiNzEfSyCcr
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.457Please respect copyright.PENANAOuQA5pWc3H
457Please respect copyright.PENANAHel3nSNRWY
457Please respect copyright.PENANAWZmktBhWSR
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?457Please respect copyright.PENANA7xAyCFpwn1
457Please respect copyright.PENANAmXJ9E9Tzjf
457Please respect copyright.PENANAkIL91eAfns
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?457Please respect copyright.PENANA5YSnD3r7So
457Please respect copyright.PENANAsyoBxSrc3N
457Please respect copyright.PENANAvu9QqWqpJc
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.457Please respect copyright.PENANA7afKfrDxj4
457Please respect copyright.PENANA6La6Hj2tGq
457Please respect copyright.PENANAq5Eh3391Ci
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.457Please respect copyright.PENANA2oFkRbO0TK
457Please respect copyright.PENANAnmCKYG41lv
457Please respect copyright.PENANAL9HjPSosk3
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.457Please respect copyright.PENANAs4RXuCV2n2
457Please respect copyright.PENANA0L5XxijYl5
457Please respect copyright.PENANANmccmnHvgt
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.457Please respect copyright.PENANA7UxW2HuuOu
457Please respect copyright.PENANAj2TOZOHpku
457Please respect copyright.PENANAhVhdhFuVDd
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.457Please respect copyright.PENANAT6qQrtwTig
457Please respect copyright.PENANAUpKvjXd2Fu

"Carly!"457Please respect copyright.PENANATqIz4uODSz
457Please respect copyright.PENANAb7o1M8Dgu1
457Please respect copyright.PENANAIj1Hr8zkcl
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?457Please respect copyright.PENANADaQH8rDexK
457Please respect copyright.PENANAV9pzteYWrL
457Please respect copyright.PENANA9dfTjgOrVZ
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.457Please respect copyright.PENANAR4C6M9aGAj
457Please respect copyright.PENANAdBAHhp6bWA
457Please respect copyright.PENANAwKHKkRcuiq
"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.457Please respect copyright.PENANA5BMBKeh9dO
457Please respect copyright.PENANAHzna7UjxSQ
457Please respect copyright.PENANAlCHXt88mQ0
"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."457Please respect copyright.PENANAvH4KoEUb1n
457Please respect copyright.PENANAoeZfht6AIX
457Please respect copyright.PENANAjE88PTb6Bv
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.457Please respect copyright.PENANATN40TL8iD7
457Please respect copyright.PENANAbr7GC9BXhk
457Please respect copyright.PENANATU1HgfMqDy
"Unhand me, you brute!" As Red Lion's security escorted Mr. Walters off the dance floor, he exclaimed.457Please respect copyright.PENANAbZNiKPa3FI
457Please respect copyright.PENANA9aluAtQaGK
457Please respect copyright.PENANAM40uE0br2V
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.457Please respect copyright.PENANAxd1QmqG1tT
457Please respect copyright.PENANACO1lvhoLmQ
457Please respect copyright.PENANArVLjiOMbCu
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?457Please respect copyright.PENANAyB4Oi16sMw
457Please respect copyright.PENANA7RD7nT9j5u
457Please respect copyright.PENANAAbgA5RACN5
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.457Please respect copyright.PENANAUf2NDTIkdj
457Please respect copyright.PENANAtTZ7ewTaz8
457Please respect copyright.PENANAbXT2bdVlNQ
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.457Please respect copyright.PENANAYwttoOJng6

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.457Please respect copyright.PENANA6XhdbmMQev
457Please respect copyright.PENANAqAHSBe2gAr
457Please respect copyright.PENANAdGw6LQjpC7
"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?"457Please respect copyright.PENANAPFdNt9Vnla
457Please respect copyright.PENANAyRZhrzhv5l
457Please respect copyright.PENANAAMYQba8DBp

457Please respect copyright.PENANAn3MWdZdQ4O
457Please respect copyright.PENANACk0ywZQvzl

457Please respect copyright.PENANASW9wHaiOQz
457Please respect copyright.PENANA2S4VPtso02
"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."457Please respect copyright.PENANA8pEZupL0Zf
457Please respect copyright.PENANA6r7I1y0K7l
457Please respect copyright.PENANAeR0gf3KrFe

457Please respect copyright.PENANAE1cybLe4do
457Please respect copyright.PENANAYxhbwRVxo6
"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."457Please respect copyright.PENANAbgw01vhCvj
457Please respect copyright.PENANAnwppoOBBRr
457Please respect copyright.PENANAQrg3NYAiUC

457Please respect copyright.PENANAkqYPnDpWW6
457Please respect copyright.PENANAY8PJB0py4i
"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."457Please respect copyright.PENANAEaahA9i26u
457Please respect copyright.PENANAjxRGS7Uucj
457Please respect copyright.PENANAUzInbvQFtE
Carly gave a nod of her head, and the two made their way back into the party.457Please respect copyright.PENANAY49XsRQ0co
457Please respect copyright.PENANA3NY9l3PRzh
457Please respect copyright.PENANAlCirymrGP1
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.457Please respect copyright.PENANA4cISziUMGd
457Please respect copyright.PENANAHbZQySNje8
457Please respect copyright.PENANARTkaA953aM
"Oh, I am so sorry," said Miranda as she tried to walk around him.457Please respect copyright.PENANAjCiWfSdfYf
457Please respect copyright.PENANAYQcbXnwPZ8
457Please respect copyright.PENANAdvlap0MaCd
"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?"457Please respect copyright.PENANAtvC3vT3tpO
457Please respect copyright.PENANALVXj7FV8fH
457Please respect copyright.PENANA4tnRV1FKuJ
Miranda's eyes widened a little. Had she somehow gotten his attention?457Please respect copyright.PENANAb2KLiZY9ZN
457Please respect copyright.PENANAAChfmax12p
457Please respect copyright.PENANANXd0Mcxdbh
"Yes," she replied as she smiled at him. "Is there anything you need from me?"457Please respect copyright.PENANAd4mhFZvf7K
457Please respect copyright.PENANA7qRSYUNdKj
457Please respect copyright.PENANAU1txR3uQyF
"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."457Please respect copyright.PENANATiga58vSXo
457Please respect copyright.PENANABPszhgcwI7
457Please respect copyright.PENANAkjJY444zQw
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.457Please respect copyright.PENANA6Fyrh69Cz5
457Please respect copyright.PENANALGtCpHGeRA
457Please respect copyright.PENANA6MWyAN3HsH
"Aren't you going?" Red Lion asked as he let go of her arm. "I'm not paying you for nothing, am I?"457Please respect copyright.PENANAm6GIU3bHbh
457Please respect copyright.PENANA5fyD6AuXGO
457Please respect copyright.PENANAxm7O2VHI6d
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.457Please respect copyright.PENANAjzXcnFeKww
457Please respect copyright.PENANAyaSUuP7o68
457Please respect copyright.PENANAPicfelj0EY
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.457Please respect copyright.PENANAkZVjAsEnmx

"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."457Please respect copyright.PENANAOH6rJamYwX

"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."457Please respect copyright.PENANAZFw0UcpPQL

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.457Please respect copyright.PENANAxLNPCTW6ws

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.457Please respect copyright.PENANAoXoVAG92Ic

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.457Please respect copyright.PENANAWMQFUeQ3o5

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.457Please respect copyright.PENANAdzRERF3K3p

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.457Please respect copyright.PENANAWz0qQsxlja

"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?"457Please respect copyright.PENANAZq1eKKlOVc

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