"Man, this is good coffee," said Eric after he took a sip. "I wish we knew about this place a long time ago."219Please respect copyright.PENANAURfvx1wmtj
219Please respect copyright.PENANAthGbExjrVz
"You should thank Angel," said Leo as he took his coffee cup from the counter after paying. "She suggested that we come to this place."219Please respect copyright.PENANArSlLDDwtOt
219Please respect copyright.PENANAT4bBGGHKMG
"Now that I think about it," Eric turned to look at Leo as they approached the door of the café, "didn’t her mum own a bakery before she died?"219Please respect copyright.PENANAGuFMV2oV7O
219Please respect copyright.PENANANABm128RZH
It soon dawned on Leo like a revelation, and he turned to look at Eric. He remembered the look Angel gave him this morning when she directed Bill to this café. That must be it, he thought. "I should think so. But this can’t be it, can it?"219Please respect copyright.PENANANUhd6SszXG
219Please respect copyright.PENANAK8ocfl68xW
"Maybe we should ask her. It might have been a bakery and also served as a café."219Please respect copyright.PENANAwyjP8efcpQ
219Please respect copyright.PENANA4BJlEdjL7L
Eric has two coffee cups in his hands, so Leo had to open the door. When they walk out, they find Angel standing outside the car, leaning on the rear. They had left her in the car when they had gone inside and were surprised to see her standing there. She had her back to them looking across the road. Leo and Eric stood there in silence, looking at her. 219Please respect copyright.PENANAGEGqLEVcsJ
219Please respect copyright.PENANANO9mWW4T9N
"What do you think she could be looking at?" Eric asked, breaking the silence.219Please respect copyright.PENANAcxmXcl0i0t
219Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZwsQMW46q
"I think we already know the answer to that," Leo answered.219Please respect copyright.PENANA7k8k6ILcZx
219Please respect copyright.PENANAUkTlfjQEZQ
They approached the car and Eric went on even closer towards Angel. "Hey," he said, coming into her view. "Your mind seems to have wandered off. Are you okay?"219Please respect copyright.PENANAXw8YsnNWQc
219Please respect copyright.PENANAcTufyKHOTl
Angel turned to look at Eric. "Yeah, sorry," she said. "I was just looking at the shop across the street."219Please respect copyright.PENANAQmixG0nr5x
219Please respect copyright.PENANABvWFsGkdpG
Eric looked over at Leo, who also looked back at him. They both shifted their eyes across the street and there stood a shop. Just by looking at its huge display window, they could tell it was once a bakery. But now, the lights inside were off, and the place looked deserted.219Please respect copyright.PENANAFI39THFtQd
219Please respect copyright.PENANAyU5uHKXN89
"That was mum’s bakery," Angel said as she went back to look at it. "But along with the house, the bank also took it away."219Please respect copyright.PENANAPFXNa7Omp2
219Please respect copyright.PENANAqFY5rkzEdd
Eric gave Angel a sad smile. "Do you ever plan on getting it back?"219Please respect copyright.PENANAGzdY5y07Qi
219Please respect copyright.PENANAZywUjXHGND
Angel scoffed. "To be honest, I was never really interested in baking like my mother was. Business was going well for a while until we started to go through some financial issues. I used to help out whenever I can before I found a job at the editing company to try to support us."219Please respect copyright.PENANAqLb1Q25ik6
219Please respect copyright.PENANAoCI0FKBKaE
Angel now sniffed. Talking about it made her eyes start to water, but she fought back the tears as she passed her finger below her right eye. Leo couldn’t help but look. For some reason, he felt a weird feeling in his chest. What could it be, he wondered.219Please respect copyright.PENANAIcxks5dU9K
219Please respect copyright.PENANAAYGPas9NEK
"We can talk about that later if you want," said Eric. "It won’t look good if you cry here in the street."219Please respect copyright.PENANAJe4KinGKOO
219Please respect copyright.PENANArejY7z7XIj
"Yes, you’re right," said Angel as she tried to pull herself together. She took a deep breath and put up a smile.219Please respect copyright.PENANA4mDsVSp0rU
219Please respect copyright.PENANAO8qDj8xu5O
"Here, the coffee is amazing," Eric held up the cup for Angel.219Please respect copyright.PENANATpiTKbERxw
219Please respect copyright.PENANANSSYK0W7p3
"I know, it’s why I suggested we come here," Angel said with a laugh as she took it. "We used to serve coffee as well, but when this place opened, we tried it out. We couldn’t deny that they serve very good coffee. Better than ours, to be honest."219Please respect copyright.PENANA1cvfHYspGW
219Please respect copyright.PENANA3LPWiKA9Fn
"Well, you were right to come here," said Leo. "Dad also complimented that their croissants are good too."219Please respect copyright.PENANAbH5IZgeKPr
219Please respect copyright.PENANAvx6wT6DKF9
Angel smiled at him. "They serve great pastries, no doubt."219Please respect copyright.PENANABhGPIAOrxD
219Please respect copyright.PENANApgeBuuDeIa
"We better get a move on," said Eric. "Traffic is already starting to build."219Please respect copyright.PENANAO4r6RPd3ao
219Please respect copyright.PENANAGgGTLq9abD
"If you haven’t noticed, Eric, there’s already traffic," said Leo as he opened the driver’s side of the car and went in.219Please respect copyright.PENANAVJUSbYSsq3
219Please respect copyright.PENANA7g1KuGNTqB
Eric playfully rolled his eyes and Angel couldn’t help but chuckle. He opened the back door for her, and she went in. She is greeted by Leo’s angry stare. 219Please respect copyright.PENANAKVZZ4VZ7ce
219Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6zPf6jYH7
"What?" she asked, trying her best not to burst into laughter.219Please respect copyright.PENANAeYawfIkqAJ
219Please respect copyright.PENANALq0EctaoTM
"You were laughing at me, weren’t you?" he asked.219Please respect copyright.PENANARVaRXIEPfz
219Please respect copyright.PENANAbhdBlhgjTi
"No," Angel puts her cup on her lips to conceal her smile. She knew Leo didn't buy it, so when Eric sits in the front passenger seat, Leo starts attacking him.219Please respect copyright.PENANANaa004K626
219Please respect copyright.PENANA4flzNkgOa2
"What did you say outside?" Leo asked.219Please respect copyright.PENANAFaLZLU7tUX
219Please respect copyright.PENANA9Lgsg16wCd
"What did I do?" Eric asked, looking puzzled. "That look of yours almost scared me. I would've spilt my coffee."219Please respect copyright.PENANAJYPbCEjHkn
219Please respect copyright.PENANAegRFr81h1x
"Whatever. You said or did something silly out there."219Please respect copyright.PENANAC0zETqNVDS
219Please respect copyright.PENANAqQsPWwj0Hf
"And what makes you say that?"219Please respect copyright.PENANA2Cbi7JgAGX
219Please respect copyright.PENANAVe475KYMeT
"Because Angel looks like she's on the verge of laughter right now."219Please respect copyright.PENANAjosgAqpm0K
219Please respect copyright.PENANAgbglhYhz3S
"No, I don't," Angel tried her very best to sound serious, but she quickly thought she should try and keep her mouth shut.219Please respect copyright.PENANASnT4b6JLVd
219Please respect copyright.PENANA98M6x1gstk
"You see?" Leo pointed at Angel.219Please respect copyright.PENANAtlMfjL7beK
219Please respect copyright.PENANA0lWtmzvcn1
"Start the car, will you?" Eric proposed. "We need to leave. And like you said, we're already in traffic."219Please respect copyright.PENANAzWpuuQhspl
219Please respect copyright.PENANAxIZtWehSme
Leo didn't argue any further as he put his plastic coffee cup in the cup holder, inserted the key in the ignition and started the engine. Eric and Angel continued to look at him in silence, but Angel soon burst out laughing. She just couldn't hold it in any longer. Eric soon followed. Leo shook his head as he put the car in reverse.219Please respect copyright.PENANAhxSbyjZ8Jr
219Please respect copyright.PENANAl76hoYG2ir
"You two are hopeless," he muttered.219Please respect copyright.PENANAE4NCdkedik
219Please respect copyright.PENANAbRVD8maygr
Eric and Angel continued to laugh. Leo did his best to ignore them as he reversed the car slowly into the road when there weren’t any cars coming. When he was finally on the road, he put the car in drive. He looked up at the rearview mirror to see if there were any cars still heading his way. Angel was in his sights. She is still laughing and Leo looked at her for a second, before refocusing his eyes back on the road. For some reason, he found himself smiling. After realizing it, he felt like slapping himself for doing so.219Please respect copyright.PENANA0FBMkoziXH
219Please respect copyright.PENANADT0VenSqbw
"Okay, this coffee is good," said Eric after taking a few sips. "We should be stopping by that café in the morning for breakfast."219Please respect copyright.PENANABFWgJ79lF9
219Please respect copyright.PENANA1AhaWElh4z
"I don’t think so," said Angel. "We found Kim here this morning. So it’s pretty obvious that she also comes here."219Please respect copyright.PENANAemfxDbKVwV
219Please respect copyright.PENANAxcKmJZF9WR
"Aw," Eric cooed as he turned his head to look at Angel. "Are you looking out for Leo now?"219Please respect copyright.PENANAXQixc7G216
219Please respect copyright.PENANABNSSyo7KND
"What are you saying?" Leo asked, giving Eric a brief glance. He felt his cheeks slowly heat up.219Please respect copyright.PENANAjhNHo2pnjG
219Please respect copyright.PENANAuO4eihwkG4
"Angel is so thoughtful, that she’s even looking out for you, you sour puss," said Eric, giving Leo a light punch on the shoulder. "You should feel thankful."219Please respect copyright.PENANASLrF6AuiCS
219Please respect copyright.PENANAJf9Z0dRYgR
"Maybe," Angel said as she looked out the window. "If you do come here, then either Eric or me should be getting the coffee. We already know how Leo easily gets irritated just by the sight of Kim."219Please respect copyright.PENANAaC8QpVOlV1
219Please respect copyright.PENANARREwnKKvTj
"Yeah, I hear you. We don’t want to hear a case of someone burning someone’s face with hot coffee."219Please respect copyright.PENANAlfVq1SQeU4
219Please respect copyright.PENANAvGxW2er2Cq
"Seriously, I wouldn’t go to such an extent," Leo defended himself.219Please respect copyright.PENANA1kdkJOV0IJ
219Please respect copyright.PENANAy5shVQemew
"But Angel does have a point. Kim is still upset. And in this case, I was actually picturing Kim burning your face, not the other way around."219Please respect copyright.PENANADI1GxRJAYr
219Please respect copyright.PENANAStOxi32YI2
"Same here," said Angel.219Please respect copyright.PENANA2xGzNSZasQ
219Please respect copyright.PENANA9yMpdinQDZ
Leo shook his head as Eric and Angel both chuckled.219Please respect copyright.PENANA4ueKLArXZg
219Please respect copyright.PENANAN51ecxi7Cj
"Okay, it’s settled," said Eric. "Leo, you’re off limits from entering that place. Unless you don’t have much of a choice."219Please respect copyright.PENANAM5VM2Rxz5D
219Please respect copyright.PENANAYvvg00MajT
No one said anything afterwards as Eric switched on the car radio and there came pop music from one of the radio stations he tuned in. Leo found himself looking up at the rearview mirror and his eyes fell on Angel. He replayed the conversation about Kim and the café, and he couldn’t help but feel that Angel is indeed looking out for him. The thought of it made him feel some weird sort of comfort. The kind that could make anyone feel like they are being cared for. Does Angel really care about his whereabouts? He didn’t want to think much of it, but the thought stuck with him. He concluded that the only reason she brought that up is because he’s dating Carly and would do anything to make sure she’s safe.219Please respect copyright.PENANAqRqHoSEqw3
219Please respect copyright.PENANA2psRNcZosm
Maybe that’s it, he thought. There’s nothing to it.219Please respect copyright.PENANAjxTQy2ZS2t
219Please respect copyright.PENANAaC2VKwnURm
He looked up at the rearview again and this time, he finds Angel shaking her head to the famous pop song that’s now playing. She had a smile on her face, showing she really enjoyed it. Leo looked over at Eric, who looked out at the side mirror. The passenger window is wide open where Eric had a clear view of Angel in the backseat. He looked at Angel with a smile on his face. Leo rolled his eyes, trying his best not to think of what he has just seen. However, he can’t help but conclude that Eric really looked like an idiot.219Please respect copyright.PENANAqwoMtbdelF
219Please respect copyright.PENANAvpPQtWqTfw
He looked up at the rearview mirror one more time, and he cleared his throat, looking back in front of him. He might not have realized it at the time, but the corner of his lips was raised up into a smile again.219Please respect copyright.PENANAqqtRVgnJsP

Carly looked around the dressing room. The walls looked like they were coloured pink when there were wall lights above the room, making it appear so. At the end of the room stood a white dressing mirror table. There were all kinds of makeup tools and products. So too were hair products. Next to it is a mobile clothes hanger and Carly could tell that all the colourful outfits are skimpy. She hoped she could’ve the liberty of choosing an outfit. It won’t be the first time she’ll have to dress in such clothes.219Please respect copyright.PENANANTcwNVStxe
219Please respect copyright.PENANA99MMESJ0jr
She approached the dressing room and sat on the white plump stool in front of it. She can’t start dressing up yet as she had to wait for further instructions from Red Lion.219Please respect copyright.PENANAcgl6z9sB2P
219Please respect copyright.PENANAxIySIk4T90
As she looked at herself in the mirror, she couldn’t help but get lost in her thoughts. At this time, she would’ve been home, obviously having a bath and relaxing until supper is ready. Not only that, but she would’ve joined Angel in her room and asked how her first day went and if she and Leo had an argument. The thought of it made her chuckle. They probably didn’t have a go at each other since they were in a public place, she thought. But whatever frustrations they had had during work, they would probably take it all out at each other at home.219Please respect copyright.PENANAYdZT3NQ35J
219Please respect copyright.PENANAWCJtCECM4X
The thought of missing out on all those moments and to whatever may be happening back at the McDonell mansion made Carly sigh. It might not be her home, but she felt comfortable there, despite Mrs. McDonell constantly watching over her and Angel.219Please respect copyright.PENANAiz6anfhD5A
219Please respect copyright.PENANAlJN9Bh69lT
She felt her phone that she had in her hand beep. She has a message. It's from Leo telling her that he was told about her not coming home early. He also wanted to know how she's doing. She could call him, but it would be suspicious if he came to realize that she's in a quiet place and not where it's lively like a party.219Please respect copyright.PENANAgSBnDnMuzk
219Please respect copyright.PENANAh6kLADXxne
Carly texted him back, telling him that she's fine. She also added that she missed him and couldn't wait to ditch the party a little early to come back home. But she knew as much that it isn't going to happen.219Please respect copyright.PENANASEep6euoOe
219Please respect copyright.PENANA1NzccTnnOp
After she sent the message, a knock came at the door, and she told whoever it is to come in. She hoped it was Red Lion. She couldn't wait to get her instructions as she wanted all of this to be over. But she knew this night was going to take a lot longer than expected.219Please respect copyright.PENANAdULWpbmWqd

To Carly’s disappointment, Alex appears from behind the door as he swings it open. She silently growled as she quickly turned her head to look back at the mirror.219Please respect copyright.PENANADuUU46vIhc
219Please respect copyright.PENANA690fHBNig3
"Here she is," she hears Alex say and that makes Carly turn again. Behind Alex is a middle-aged woman with wavy blonde hair that she let fall down her face. She wore a black blouse with matching black pants and boots. Carly couldn’t help but notice that she had a pink makeup box in her hand.219Please respect copyright.PENANAdqJUv5Lgyz
219Please respect copyright.PENANAqyMRDXJKao
"Carly, meet Jane," Alex introduced the two. "She'll be your makeup and hair stylist for the evening."219Please respect copyright.PENANALpJdKcITZJ
219Please respect copyright.PENANAipcEGPWlsL
"Nice to meet you," said Jane as she made her approach towards Carly. "You naturally look very pretty."219Please respect copyright.PENANAvQhbSug24O
219Please respect copyright.PENANAzuuHZiNIF7
It's not a comment Carly hasn't heard before. She smiled at Jane and said, "thank you. The pleasure is mine."219Please respect copyright.PENANAd01FLwAfx4
219Please respect copyright.PENANAxvmgjxVbu0
Carly couldn't help but notice the look Alex gave Jane after she complimented Carly. He didn't look surprised at all, but there was something in his expression that made Carly wonder what he had in mind.219Please respect copyright.PENANAC52hiZtE9a
219Please respect copyright.PENANArjO9NUWQJt
"Now that you've been acquainted," said Alex, "I'll leave you to it. Red Lion will pass by as soon as you're done and give you a set of instructions, Carly."219Please respect copyright.PENANASE8l04MNKL
219Please respect copyright.PENANArjRawTxPyS
"He better give it to me in full detail and not leaving a stone unturned," Carly emphasized. "You all have a tendency of not telling me anything."219Please respect copyright.PENANAsez9sDTllC
219Please respect copyright.PENANAU9H7Pk4Beh
"You should be telling that to Red Lion, himself. I'm just following orders. And if you think any of us really get to know the full details of his plans, then you're wrong. Just like you, he only tells us what we have to do. So do yours, okay?"219Please respect copyright.PENANAVAZAgVELUR
219Please respect copyright.PENANA20Ns6idaPF
Carly folded her arms and pouted her lower lip. Alex thought she looked like a stubborn little girl who didn't like to take orders from anyone. He looked at her one more time and looked at Jane.219Please respect copyright.PENANAkPLVGceFeL
219Please respect copyright.PENANAQuZpQyTOR8
"Tell me if she gives you a hard time, will you?" Alex demanded.219Please respect copyright.PENANATDtNIxivFM

"Well, that was quite a conversation," said Jane. "Have you two known each other for a long time?"219Please respect copyright.PENANAemIc1a1Lon
219Please respect copyright.PENANA4s8Emal0yi
Carly scoffed as she turned to look back at the mirror, upset with Alex over their conversation. "No," she answered Jane.219Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4ova8n0Ar
219Please respect copyright.PENANAvs0Dey7j5s
"Mm, the two of you look that way. Anyway..." Jane came closer behind Carly and ran her hand threw Carly’s hair. "Let's get you looking pretty. Red Lion wants you looking like the most attractive woman in the room."219Please respect copyright.PENANAqNGIxirkwH
219Please respect copyright.PENANAzScsDkMPl5
"Pssh," Carly rolled her eyes. "Anyone can look like the most attractive person in the world with just a bit of makeup."219Please respect copyright.PENANAlATmMA9Q0M
219Please respect copyright.PENANAZillpw91yL
"Oh, honey," Jane cupped both of Carly’s cheeks. "Red Lion knows I can make it happen. If I want to, I can even make you look far gorgeous that you can ever imagine."219Please respect copyright.PENANAHy8j2G4RC1

Miranda laughed alongside Candy at a joke one of the girls had shared. Miranda held up her champagne glass and a blue-haired girl sitting across from her with the bottle of champagne poured the drink in her glass that it was full to the brim and over-flowed. Miranda giggled at the sight of champagne flowing down her hand. She took a swing of her champagne and gave a howl that the others did the same. Music played in the car and all the ladies were having a real good time as they danced. With the luxury they were having in the limo, Miranda knew she was about to have a good time at the actual party.219Please respect copyright.PENANA10ddJI31uy
219Please respect copyright.PENANANym8omWDcG
Miranda looked out the window as Candy, who is usually the loud mouth, captured everyone in some funny story about a certain client. Miranda wasn’t really listening as she looked up at the dark night sky. It was then, that she realized that they were no longer in downtown New York. Strange, where could they be heading to, she wondered.219Please respect copyright.PENANAnomvQ4HL2b
219Please respect copyright.PENANAwEF7VffLT4

"Huh, what is it?" Miranda asked.219Please respect copyright.PENANAkivaJynasI

219Please respect copyright.PENANAW5XHIssBTK
"No, I don’t know who he is. Walters didn’t give me details."219Please respect copyright.PENANA4M4ukC7CJX
219Please respect copyright.PENANAuBpmuCZdEn
"Well, as long as we have all this champagne to fire us up, I know I’m going to be paid well," said the blue-haired lady called Bubbles. She had her hair long tied into pigtails.219Please respect copyright.PENANA922yT2C10Y

"Aw, you think too much," said Sandra who sat beside Emma as she brushed aside her long, blonde hair. The long fake lashes on her eyes, flickered up and down every time she blinked. She had glittering blue eyeliner, and with her lips painted in the same colour, she looked like a Bratz doll. "Didn’t you tell me that story?

"Huh? This is silly," said Candy as she gave the chauffeur a disdainful look. "What do you take us for?"219Please respect copyright.PENANA7idfpmdGfg
219Please respect copyright.PENANA5YwxfpoRCo
"It's his request. I'm just following orders."219Please respect copyright.PENANAVu1gG0ACuQ
219Please respect copyright.PENANAcnoByBQxNC
"Then why does he want us to wear these blindfolds?" Emma asked as she folded her arms. "I'm not wearing it until I get a reasonable explanation."219Please respect copyright.PENANAnWF3PcYOdP
219Please respect copyright.PENANAGuUhj9lYwd
"He's a very strict and private man," the chauffeur answered. "He doesn't want anyone knowing where he's holding his party."219Please respect copyright.PENANAsct9qZUMFf
219Please respect copyright.PENANAiXuCwdFpkM
"But it's not like we'll come by once the party is over," said Sandra. "We know the kind of job we do and trust me, I don't think any of us would fall for our clients, right, girls?"219Please respect copyright.PENANAfvK3mN3OPG
219Please respect copyright.PENANAJy5SQiQ3xW
The rest responded, but Miranda’s wasn’t that convincing, and she knew that herself. Luckily, the others are all annoyed at the chauffeur to even notice it.219Please respect copyright.PENANAukkQ3oOq8n
219Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4oyxBippk
"Then I’m afraid I better turn back," said the chauffeur as he straightened himself. "If you walk into those premises without them, he’ll have me fired on the spot. He’s a difficult man to please."219Please respect copyright.PENANAwukruqr2An
219Please respect copyright.PENANAwcDt6a7HKg
Just as he was about to swing the door closed, Sandra who was close stopped him.219Please respect copyright.PENANAiBh2Hggflk
219Please respect copyright.PENANACc5SHLCH7C
"Wait, give them to us," said Sandra as she held up her hand to get the blindfolds.219Please respect copyright.PENANAyXMt6DonDz
219Please respect copyright.PENANAXo5mxfQbnX
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Emma asked as she raised an eyebrow at her.219Please respect copyright.PENANA8kYwRGlvVd
219Please respect copyright.PENANADpSjQnkToA
"Do you really want to miss out on this party just because we couldn’t abide to this little rule? Well, I’m not. I want to have a good night and get paid. If you don’t like it, then you can walk on home."219Please respect copyright.PENANA6FB3h03irt
219Please respect copyright.PENANAUDDNsSvoIK
"As much as I don’t like this, I agree with Emma," said Miranda. "And remember that Collins gave us an instruction not to ask too many questions. Besides, it’s not the first time we’ve gone to a place where we never knew where we were. There’s that time for the van, remember? We couldn’t see where we were going, and it was really uncomfortable."219Please respect copyright.PENANAY9aWASbP1U
219Please respect copyright.PENANAL3YhZhmE8J
"Screw it, we’ve been through worse," said Candy. "Give us the blindfolds."219Please respect copyright.PENANAA8T6lEyOD5
219Please respect copyright.PENANApkcljt8RRD
"I’m afraid I’ll have to put them on you, so if you don’t mind, kindly step out of the vehicle," said the chauffeur.219Please respect copyright.PENANA2yf4KT0Bdp
219Please respect copyright.PENANAFCtoJUl4Hz
Sandra sighed in frustration as she quickly got out of the limo first and the rest followed. The chauffeur blinded Miranda first, and she couldn’t help but feel a little frightened with what’s going on. The thought of the party being hosted by some criminal gangster came to her. Could Emma be right about this? But Miranda has been in these situations before. What made this one feel so different?219Please respect copyright.PENANApb7k6UvzRo
219Please respect copyright.PENANAFi2JRLtNMO
Afterwards, Miranda felt Candy who has been standing next to her help her back into the limo. She sat there, knowing fully well that she’s right next to the window. She felt Candy come and sit next to her. It wasn’t hard to tell who came in after the other, and as soon as Sandra was settled in, the chauffeur said:219Please respect copyright.PENANAZpMXO9Pw4f
219Please respect copyright.PENANAA7uqStHm5D
"No one takes their blindfold off until we get there. We won’t be long, so hang on tight."219Please respect copyright.PENANAavFuTj8gVr

He closed the door and walked back to the driver’s seat. The women remained silent for a while until they felt and heard the car move.219Please respect copyright.PENANAam4ZjG0VXo

"Goodness, this has ruined my mood completely," said Bubbles.219Please respect copyright.PENANAMxt2aqACxv
219Please respect copyright.PENANAMAiVD9aqKp
"I don’t think it’s that bad," said Candy. "That’s only if I could find the champagne bottle. I remember putting it around here." Miranda felt Candy grope around looking for it.219Please respect copyright.PENANAPas8OHmGZ3

"We might be dealing with a criminal after all," said Emma.219Please respect copyright.PENANALXyLlQTxXe

"We can tell the chauffeur to stop the car. Is that what you want?" Candy asked.219Please respect copyright.PENANAnqiJBLY8fp
219Please respect copyright.PENANA3sGICBP4bO
Emma only scoffed and Miranda could imagine her folding her arms. When she didn’t say anything, Candy laughed.219Please respect copyright.PENANAoQjocV8lXN
219Please respect copyright.PENANAessBHNYQzi
"At the end of the day, you know you need the dough more than anything," Candy continued to laugh, this time a little louder.219Please respect copyright.PENANAR0MlJ7mBFG
219Please respect copyright.PENANAXyGh4KVCXs
"Shut up, Candy," Emma snapped. "You aren’t doing anyone any favours by laughing so loud."219Please respect copyright.PENANAWxlg0HrXiU
219Please respect copyright.PENANAR11DBpFXqh
"Yeah, she’s right," said Miranda, nudging Candy with her shoulder. "If the windows were open people within a five-mile radius would hear you."219Please respect copyright.PENANAzbGaQOajwj
219Please respect copyright.PENANA0xVhxRReMu
"Please, you’re exaggerating, and you know it," Candy sounded irritated. Bubbles chuckled.219Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZGH5cRSi6
219Please respect copyright.PENANAN2n88eEBQN
"Let's hope this party is worth going there blindfolded," said Sandra.219Please respect copyright.PENANAe0thUQCLwN
219Please respect copyright.PENANAPgWldKiA0a
"Oh, trust me, something tells me it will," said Candy. "Isn’t that right, Miranda?"219Please respect copyright.PENANAt0RL4OCirt
219Please respect copyright.PENANAV3BK4wgUBT
"Totally," said Miranda with anticipation this time. She came to the fact that she had mixed feelings about this, even though she was scared. But she knew that whatever came her way, she’ll have to figure out how to deal with it.219Please respect copyright.PENANAvupqxQOtlg

"How is everything going on your end, Alex?" Mr. Walters asked as he came up behind him in the empty hall.219Please respect copyright.PENANA093mQFCOdy

"So far so good," Alex replied as he turned to look at his employer.219Please respect copyright.PENANAv51YHAIQP5

"Let me guess, they will be blindfolded as usual?" Alex had his eyebrow raised.219Please respect copyright.PENANAEiVl34ZXIP

"Red Lion likes to be cautious." Mr. Walters shook his head. "Even our most important guests will be coming in blindfolded. If you ask me, it’s silly."219Please respect copyright.PENANA9EgCsGrD2B

Before Alex could turn around, Walters said, "Alex, you and Red Lion have been talking a lot lately." Walters shortened the distance between them.219Please respect copyright.PENANAHTCZpAFGB9
219Please respect copyright.PENANA5rz26VJTXV
"Well," Alex shrugged his shoulders, "it’s because of this party, right? We’ve been meeting a lot because of it. Why? Is there a problem?"219Please respect copyright.PENANAvje2RpRvJu

"Ah, there you are," said Jane as she smiled brightly at Carly. She gently cupped Carly’s cheeks so as not to ruin her makeup. "Do you want to see yourself? You look like a Barbie doll."219Please respect copyright.PENANAMMWciqhHHq
219Please respect copyright.PENANAy3ofHVWiRV
"Let me see," said Carly, wanting Jane to move aside.219Please respect copyright.PENANAgBzuSt7Zjj
219Please respect copyright.PENANAwXmrVTzOAo
Jane did just that, turning the chair Carly sat on so that she could face the mirror. When Carly saw herself, she couldn’t help but feel she was staring at a whole different person. It was her, but with the peach and glittery eyeshadow and eyelashes, she looked different. If anyone who knew her were to see her right now, they wouldn’t even think that it’s her; that’s if they look really hard enough.219Please respect copyright.PENANAs8y4GeoJkP
219Please respect copyright.PENANAWtXiIY5U2U
Carly pulled the chair to get a little closer to the mirror to look at herself. She can’t believe it. Jane is a very good makeup artist. She could barely believe that it’s herself staring back through the mirror.219Please respect copyright.PENANAV4zQLgpDA4
219Please respect copyright.PENANAgXt3kTx3sB
"I know, I’m fantastic, aren’t I?" Jane asked, sounding flustered. "It’s the reason why Red Lion hired me."219Please respect copyright.PENANAcskw5ewThg

"I wonder why he wants me looking like a Barbie doll," said Carly. "With this makeup, I look like an entirely different person."219Please respect copyright.PENANACp8RRkfThj

"He wants you looking like the prettiest woman in the party and also for anyone not to recognize you as you."219Please respect copyright.PENANAF85koOQwjR

Carly turned in her seat to look at Jane. "He doesn’t want anyone recognizing me? Could there be people he’s inviting to the party that might?"219Please respect copyright.PENANATixDDaYn7n

"Maybe. I’m just doing what he ordered me to."219Please respect copyright.PENANAksY4iyRrQI

219Please respect copyright.PENANArBALd73fY2
"You sound a little cranky," said Red Lion as he looked down at her. "Alex did warn me to be careful with you tonight. And that’s not the right mood for this party."219Please respect copyright.PENANAMUUFIt6Tw9

Carly gave Red Lion a look. He knew she didn’t believe him.219Please respect copyright.PENANA87b7GVbz7S

219Please respect copyright.PENANAKY7mzXqhzI
"I thought you would never address it," said Jane as she grinned. Carly turned a 180 in her chair to look at Jane who had already started to unzip the bag as she held it up the hanger. Carly raised her eyebrows when she saw the dress.219Please respect copyright.PENANA357MQ9vHzj

The man soon got what he wanted as he felt the chauffeur come up behind him and remove the blindfold covering his eyes. He had to blink a few times for his eyes to adjust to the lights. There stood floodlights that shone brightly on him. He shielded his eyes with his hand.219Please respect copyright.PENANA2iB2W9EEn2

Andre turned to where the voice came from and approaching him was Red Lion in a stunning black cocktail suit. Andre raised his sharp eyebrows at Red Lion, but a smile soon came across his face as he went over to greet his comrade.219Please respect copyright.PENANAzUxYYA04vj
219Please respect copyright.PENANAD1M1BYHbdz
"I’m glad you could make it, brother," said Red Lion as they gave each other a brotherly hug.219Please respect copyright.PENANAnBlebblmbG

"Well, I couldn’t ignore your invitation," said Andre after they broke away from each other. "You do throw the best parties."219Please respect copyright.PENANApTTh3KKYJF

219Please respect copyright.PENANAA32eAUOjCj
Red Lion laughed as he looked at the vehicle Andre came in. The British chauffeur brought out two beautiful Mexican ladies out of the car also in blindfolds. Two other black cars were lined up behind the first car and Andre's security detail also came out, removing their blindfolds.219Please respect copyright.PENANAAvfbR0Xfpu

Red Lion led the way in the direction in which he came and Andre now noticed what he meant. They were now walking on a straight red carpet with the floodlights on either side.
