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.220Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6HoqdkMik

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.220Please respect copyright.PENANAJtneKCs6Td
220Please respect copyright.PENANAngUNrfwyOc
220Please respect copyright.PENANABSMBIG4FoA
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.220Please respect copyright.PENANAqLvsLOI4HW
220Please respect copyright.PENANAaxNvsLMYnU
220Please respect copyright.PENANA4uwhY5qLGN
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.220Please respect copyright.PENANA6UBnswgwwm
220Please respect copyright.PENANA0X6mrAqTU8
220Please respect copyright.PENANA2fQG4EXDzZ
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.220Please respect copyright.PENANACA0Aiyw3ot

220Please respect copyright.PENANA3XPM4Omusl
220Please respect copyright.PENANAYbBW2rormA
Leo turned to the back door of the kitchen, and standing there already in a red sleeping robe was his aunt, Diana.220Please respect copyright.PENANASWIpe1Qmrh
220Please respect copyright.PENANABPbSLHv1Rl
220Please respect copyright.PENANA0kJzNoXaKX
"Oh, hey," said Leo as he straightened himself on the chair.220Please respect copyright.PENANAJ4CXhCZNJC
220Please respect copyright.PENANAWcrWaoriTW
220Please respect copyright.PENANA92EZPSWmI3
"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?"220Please respect copyright.PENANA5F4mUopPSP
220Please respect copyright.PENANADUbjo5HgMo
220Please respect copyright.PENANAsvNrBopQ3I
Leo didn't know how to answer her. "Uh, no. Not really," he said.220Please respect copyright.PENANAQPsJWmMhLY
220Please respect copyright.PENANAAon09VuZUf
220Please respect copyright.PENANATV5sjn07sF
"What is it? A girl, perhaps?" Diana asked with an eyebrow raised.220Please respect copyright.PENANA72uNP9DHct
220Please respect copyright.PENANAoSvjcaQvSU
220Please respect copyright.PENANAAoQxuaz6H1
Leo's face quickly reddened. He quickly looked up at the sky, but it was already too late, for Diana gave out a giggle.220Please respect copyright.PENANAaNMqDumsvl
220Please respect copyright.PENANAboD18cVfBW
220Please respect copyright.PENANAYHi6SgyHQP
"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?"220Please respect copyright.PENANAYSefdI7Jxz
220Please respect copyright.PENANAMJiH9IREt3
220Please respect copyright.PENANA0SgJ1PVjU5
"No, you're wrong. I wasn't thinking about anyone."220Please respect copyright.PENANAvaZKtg06bu
220Please respect copyright.PENANArWgSVR8kw3
220Please respect copyright.PENANAAktbLsDLNv
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."220Please respect copyright.PENANAxIWao5SzaL
220Please respect copyright.PENANAv4OjBRngVV
220Please respect copyright.PENANARAHY5X3vsx
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.220Please respect copyright.PENANALn1li8AyCn
220Please respect copyright.PENANAD3Trlx29HU
220Please respect copyright.PENANA6JktFFCxng
"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?"220Please respect copyright.PENANA5xq5tTNCf8
220Please respect copyright.PENANA0tFhIEuE1x
220Please respect copyright.PENANAgRKnl7VbQF
"Wait a minute." Leo turned to his aunt, still red-faced. "I'm not thinking of the girl I like."220Please respect copyright.PENANA9IidRpyS5o
220Please respect copyright.PENANACniOzqfYqu
220Please respect copyright.PENANAydqghULypG
"But you were thinking of a girl." Diana raised an eyebrow.220Please respect copyright.PENANAJVDkZJnihu
220Please respect copyright.PENANAh9luPHnkMk

220Please respect copyright.PENANAvjmkkxBRVE

"Tell me, is this girl the one you are currently seeing?" Diana asked. 220Please respect copyright.PENANA4AtrGEagoJ
220Please respect copyright.PENANA0fRabmhmOP
220Please respect copyright.PENANAR7miWFAytk
Leo furrowed his eyebrows. "What makes you think that I'm seeing someone?" he asked.220Please respect copyright.PENANApJboVTgNgp
220Please respect copyright.PENANAUHvifzsG4M
220Please respect copyright.PENANAw11OTP4N3q
"Your mum talked to Kim today. But I'm guessing that you already knew she arranged the whole lunch thing."220Please respect copyright.PENANAUR7jDLSI5j
220Please respect copyright.PENANAgeZI2SpdmA
220Please respect copyright.PENANATznQFxIwb8
Leo nodded, and he wished he could add that Eric and Angel knew too.220Please respect copyright.PENANA9fkQMzrLsR
220Please respect copyright.PENANAiDretRW2bh
220Please respect copyright.PENANAFdKlfOaXPB
"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."220Please respect copyright.PENANA5rJIP1ADkJ
220Please respect copyright.PENANArTwwFWq5EE
220Please respect copyright.PENANA2FEc5GyTvp
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.220Please respect copyright.PENANA6rR39SM9Xc
220Please respect copyright.PENANAw9EWRYxCLy
220Please respect copyright.PENANAdiik0PM3ZV
"Okay, you got me," said Leo as he put up a smile. "Aren't you going to ask me who it is?"220Please respect copyright.PENANAmpmlYuQ8PP
220Please respect copyright.PENANA48yAieECFi
220Please respect copyright.PENANAgVuROiG4l8
"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."220Please respect copyright.PENANAk3GHfkeLqw
220Please respect copyright.PENANAEM1uEGjqFf
220Please respect copyright.PENANACyTfKGjREg
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.220Please respect copyright.PENANAmf54JuihEL
220Please respect copyright.PENANAFJFKpwKfbL
220Please respect copyright.PENANAGA9RECvSBi
"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?"220Please respect copyright.PENANA5xegMxkkYu
220Please respect copyright.PENANA2CBeoKxQhj
220Please respect copyright.PENANAFsj9E4Wn8G
Leo looked at his aunt and answered, "Since you claim to know me so well, why don't you answer that?"220Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0TNhkjoi7
220Please respect copyright.PENANALliL5fSyKQ
220Please respect copyright.PENANAXcd8VABwUK
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."220Please respect copyright.PENANA3zniuGBY10

220Please respect copyright.PENANAe1hsEHrAlZ
220Please respect copyright.PENANAwqSRP8tSnq
Leo sighed. "Well, you hit the nail on the head. It's some other girl."220Please respect copyright.PENANA0TQ5aDtUnD
220Please respect copyright.PENANAG4zeOa3Xr8
220Please respect copyright.PENANAgzwhX13RV1
"Mmm. Interesting. Can it be that you're stuck between two lovers? What about the one you're currently dating?"220Please respect copyright.PENANA91eJw8LCoP
220Please respect copyright.PENANANpAWKBM7dU
220Please respect copyright.PENANAx5BiCX66Un
"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."220Please respect copyright.PENANAQqQqAFJm6N
220Please respect copyright.PENANAvZyFTfTLJN
220Please respect copyright.PENANADnhTCp78cx
Diana slowly nodded. "I get it. So this other girl just happens to be in your life, but then why think about her?"220Please respect copyright.PENANA0F0dYfDZgq
220Please respect copyright.PENANAlRNrUX8ocs
220Please respect copyright.PENANAU75d0Yzowd
Leo bit his lip as he thought of how to answer that. "She just randomly came into my mind, that's all."220Please respect copyright.PENANAGi2W5CdQ6h
220Please respect copyright.PENANAuSOVUcy1b6
220Please respect copyright.PENANAv1P9E05sNx
"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."220Please respect copyright.PENANAQLqz4YSSrs
220Please respect copyright.PENANANPlMmyoNB7
220Please respect copyright.PENANAEbNKGNZqKO
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."220Please respect copyright.PENANAchotdnaiBt
220Please respect copyright.PENANAh3WKGJMI6M
220Please respect copyright.PENANAmUB0Uk6GMY
"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.220Please respect copyright.PENANAKTFJN2vgT5
220Please respect copyright.PENANALg2z9JfIrX
220Please respect copyright.PENANAlpTBmaEyN6
"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."220Please respect copyright.PENANAHj5vTsxswf

220Please respect copyright.PENANAkXpwV09ahI
220Please respect copyright.PENANAKJLLIGVjql

220Please respect copyright.PENANAQeG2iBqHkV

220Please respect copyright.PENANA5o3i9yHNLi
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.220Please respect copyright.PENANAa5Q1RoImaq

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.220Please respect copyright.PENANA5erEoh36cN
220Please respect copyright.PENANAW2I9jlpQVz

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.220Please respect copyright.PENANAdppOoErHRE
220Please respect copyright.PENANAeWzfSnSuS1
220Please respect copyright.PENANAwDe4e7top6
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.220Please respect copyright.PENANAbm5zBMZJEr
220Please respect copyright.PENANAYcU4pz4ifW
220Please respect copyright.PENANAieT88f0Rs8
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.220Please respect copyright.PENANApOFCLKunqz
220Please respect copyright.PENANAdZ8BW3Vy60
220Please respect copyright.PENANAdwX0bAJZsD
"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.220Please respect copyright.PENANAl3BnXSFsxZ
220Please respect copyright.PENANAzgp2d5UXdj
220Please respect copyright.PENANAvUCobsZbuz
"How much have you had to drink, Walters?" Red Lion asked, not looking at him.220Please respect copyright.PENANAFUsam2XdIz
220Please respect copyright.PENANAc7Q8o2yxfl
220Please respect copyright.PENANAy2zhToNdCT

"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."220Please respect copyright.PENANAWyetHQqZQG

220Please respect copyright.PENANAWAwvyNVPeq
Red Lion watched Walters go, and he started to wonder whether he should have someone watch over him. He looked around for any of his men nearby, but Walters soon disappeared from his sight. He had to take care of him somehow.220Please respect copyright.PENANAyS6nxbdvn8

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.220Please respect copyright.PENANAfeTYslydas
220Please respect copyright.PENANAMwJcoQdLeu
220Please respect copyright.PENANACaz8zpfrey
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.220Please respect copyright.PENANA7bFNhKXp6X
220Please respect copyright.PENANAfAcmgXjrtQ
220Please respect copyright.PENANAowPIVWsh2E
She turned around to head back to the booth she was in when she saw Candy approach her. Miranda couldn't help but wonder what the problem was.220Please respect copyright.PENANA862eSQbEfd

220Please respect copyright.PENANA1FqJaTjHou
220Please respect copyright.PENANAoGmKJYpCVQ
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.220Please respect copyright.PENANAjNIcAobwVg
220Please respect copyright.PENANAEEmLjVbQ2M

220Please respect copyright.PENANAef651SdUKR

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.220Please respect copyright.PENANAJoQioUUtvz
220Please respect copyright.PENANAvRvYilafi4

220Please respect copyright.PENANAlGHMTZTWBa
"Is it now?" Andre put his hands in the pockets of his trousers. "Ladies like you are pretty hard to impress nowadays, aren't you?"220Please respect copyright.PENANAbyKVol7WCS

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.220Please respect copyright.PENANAWxge1n5rAA

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.220Please respect copyright.PENANA8dEwPg5uOV
220Please respect copyright.PENANAu1T9T1cZJD
220Please respect copyright.PENANApnYpDKi3Rm
"How are things?" Red Lion as he spoke in his ear over the loud music.220Please respect copyright.PENANAKLBRjVDwFQ
220Please respect copyright.PENANA96KTB86c4z
220Please respect copyright.PENANAamAdqWeGco
"Smoothly," Alex replied. "They're on the deck, sharing an intimate moment."220Please respect copyright.PENANATpO5argbRS

220Please respect copyright.PENANAFsmk2wSRgv
220Please respect copyright.PENANAWG9keqZLqY
"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."220Please respect copyright.PENANA7MQtf1b4qf
220Please respect copyright.PENANAdNXgt9fCKv

220Please respect copyright.PENANAq5GPUV4EPe
220Please respect copyright.PENANA9jlIkzKqki
"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."220Please respect copyright.PENANAxII86f9Cem
220Please respect copyright.PENANAIo02Ey93IX
220Please respect copyright.PENANApKWhEQZQgl
"Understood." Alex gave a nod of the head and made his way to the dance floor, hoping to find his employer.220Please respect copyright.PENANAfjo3CMzjaf
220Please respect copyright.PENANAsw43UFtgia
220Please respect copyright.PENANAYxfDJe9wdj
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.220Please respect copyright.PENANAfRGhd6LKQi
220Please respect copyright.PENANAWSH2YKIJtU
220Please respect copyright.PENANAF5Au2XAVqa
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.220Please respect copyright.PENANA066DydrRg3
220Please respect copyright.PENANAyVWuVKiKfi
220Please respect copyright.PENANAIMZaarLEVg
"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.220Please respect copyright.PENANAlVjwXSVUVX
220Please respect copyright.PENANAXuhMNqGrnO
220Please respect copyright.PENANASEpqaKysJv
"The gorgeous lady who stole everyone's attention on the dance floor?" Candy asked from inside the stall. "We all saw her. Why?" 220Please respect copyright.PENANAYgHKm55s2e
220Please respect copyright.PENANAZTSGpzprHL
220Please respect copyright.PENANAjt6Jial8PD
"Oh, no reason," Miranda replied as she powdered her face.220Please respect copyright.PENANAi0xzaFvHT4
220Please respect copyright.PENANAgY1zpLRaUl
220Please respect copyright.PENANApBAGpAqKz0
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.220Please respect copyright.PENANAnlSid10S1m
220Please respect copyright.PENANAaao7zVaWsm
220Please respect copyright.PENANAN22DwVV5GG
Miranda felt Candy's eyes on her, and she turned to look at her. She shrugged her shoulders.220Please respect copyright.PENANATcVIZU0l40
220Please respect copyright.PENANAAxQkKmZLaI
220Please respect copyright.PENANAE7cbxjAMF6
"What is it?" Miranda asked.220Please respect copyright.PENANAakHfmNVEBi
220Please respect copyright.PENANAvE5G2hlfQp
220Please respect copyright.PENANAmG845pFfoB
"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."220Please respect copyright.PENANAX6DBmbR7pU
220Please respect copyright.PENANAcDj5xkIPVo
220Please respect copyright.PENANACmI0mihESx
Miranda paused before she could put on the lipstick. "Really? And what could that be?"220Please respect copyright.PENANASFc58z5obV
220Please respect copyright.PENANATVkfqYJeWf
220Please respect copyright.PENANAqcsl3wxGNd
"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.220Please respect copyright.PENANA3suwRcncYY
220Please respect copyright.PENANA5OpyiLiAA2
220Please respect copyright.PENANAV8v1hU8lPg
"No, I'm happy with my client. What does that guy have to do with anything?"220Please respect copyright.PENANANz9E7HVaWp
220Please respect copyright.PENANAB8SI7qL6Zn
220Please respect copyright.PENANA8TNxxOpJWk
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."220Please respect copyright.PENANAlRIHsCcOOL
220Please respect copyright.PENANALoeKYjMgKp
220Please respect copyright.PENANAbvgZBYTpAv
"What makes you think that?" Miranda now looked a little offended.220Please respect copyright.PENANAUvoplE8Xif
220Please respect copyright.PENANAUlqDxWcgWV
220Please respect copyright.PENANAYdtTZiXfrZ
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."220Please respect copyright.PENANAXhvjrU98Pt
220Please respect copyright.PENANAqRWvnqSNtc
220Please respect copyright.PENANAgoX0Vy1wFp
Miranda rolled her eyes as she turned back to look in a mirror. "That's not true. I don't do that."220Please respect copyright.PENANAbgYk5yuQCj
220Please respect copyright.PENANAx9vVRo2HtF
220Please respect copyright.PENANA9xZZqdWC0g
"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."220Please respect copyright.PENANAjSpXvzLZFc
220Please respect copyright.PENANABObETLZoZt
220Please respect copyright.PENANAkw3AX4xsfU
Miranda now looked at Candy with a deadly stare. "This isn't the club, Candy," she said. "And besides, Carly is long gone."220Please respect copyright.PENANAo4pe3wjjIC
220Please respect copyright.PENANAYf8czmQ7SF
220Please respect copyright.PENANARHIPehwSCz

220Please respect copyright.PENANATi7r85qXwy
220Please respect copyright.PENANAoe35V0ttnF
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."220Please respect copyright.PENANAnerwtJj93v
220Please respect copyright.PENANAqeQNfd4Xxx
220Please respect copyright.PENANASQUth1mp7E
With her purse in hand, Miranda took her purse and made her way out of the room, leaving Candy all alone.220Please respect copyright.PENANAIpl6Yjtaws
220Please respect copyright.PENANA2eYLZ6A0PW
220Please respect copyright.PENANAYuLea997ls
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.220Please respect copyright.PENANAIzxw89IXqy
220Please respect copyright.PENANAfTptkVRjAC
220Please respect copyright.PENANAUk1gAobvWc
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.220Please respect copyright.PENANA4FThiDpY9M
220Please respect copyright.PENANAlYyyMb0bYq
220Please respect copyright.PENANA8ucQls8L2D
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.220Please respect copyright.PENANAvFIBITQ7Rg
220Please respect copyright.PENANA0CJwkBXl0g
220Please respect copyright.PENANAeP3EFa4V8z
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.220Please respect copyright.PENANAsMjWvidi6d
220Please respect copyright.PENANA5i2sEivx9T
220Please respect copyright.PENANAcI12S9y6NR
"Too soon, don't you think?" Carly asked as she looked up at him.220Please respect copyright.PENANA57crCf72Ly
220Please respect copyright.PENANAMbBUJ6WIh4
220Please respect copyright.PENANArxmaIeFNV9
"We can go to some place more private," said Andre. "Away from prying eyes."220Please respect copyright.PENANAOaCjGoDMxg
220Please respect copyright.PENANA1h3OLG6ZOV
220Please respect copyright.PENANAhfpKUXr5El
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."220Please respect copyright.PENANAnBXRtgnZYW
220Please respect copyright.PENANAmzn0XcCojz
220Please respect copyright.PENANA61P0ChKWjq
Andre was a little disappointed but did his best not to show it. "You aren't running away from me, are you?" he asked.220Please respect copyright.PENANA8t3wV8OLtt
220Please respect copyright.PENANAk8e5HNJWWu
220Please respect copyright.PENANAvE9KOAUbIs
Carly scoffed. "If I were, then it would be on a lifeboat."220Please respect copyright.PENANANX9bPHwQmb
220Please respect copyright.PENANAS435q5yqbH
220Please respect copyright.PENANAd1osZDwNcO
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.220Please respect copyright.PENANAaOQ0iECs1y
220Please respect copyright.PENANASzQ1dmtu3K
220Please respect copyright.PENANAMAvv6XFHR5
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.220Please respect copyright.PENANAmnSypcAJll
220Please respect copyright.PENANAZMQnZnhHoR
220Please respect copyright.PENANAGSgNQl06sw
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.220Please respect copyright.PENANAjT4wUfLGSm
220Please respect copyright.PENANAWWZeecoqY8
220Please respect copyright.PENANAHSC8XraoN1
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?220Please respect copyright.PENANAtEwNRaDi9B
220Please respect copyright.PENANApCO4CKe0Kw
220Please respect copyright.PENANAckaFITraUF
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?220Please respect copyright.PENANAHoTR3Oo1VY
220Please respect copyright.PENANAZhNC4v6l88
220Please respect copyright.PENANA8sHHDaTCzb
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.220Please respect copyright.PENANAwQVP9Zs5z6
220Please respect copyright.PENANAjn8KGKtMdp
220Please respect copyright.PENANAVnmaeunNhK
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.220Please respect copyright.PENANAgTCku8c54i
220Please respect copyright.PENANAw2UXcUSTFR
220Please respect copyright.PENANAXIBz4a45YM
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.220Please respect copyright.PENANAZSiXEeUrqI
220Please respect copyright.PENANAOYOoJ6Ehp5
220Please respect copyright.PENANAkFU1jvurjb
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.220Please respect copyright.PENANAGl7wQiCL4C
220Please respect copyright.PENANALk1DNePCTO
220Please respect copyright.PENANA09JiPu8K6x
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.220Please respect copyright.PENANAn4TEKQMwtN
220Please respect copyright.PENANAnUVZF6DnAZ
220Please respect copyright.PENANAvXdAPtseqp
"Carly!"220Please respect copyright.PENANACcL81IITys
220Please respect copyright.PENANAQS8TLYMlZF
220Please respect copyright.PENANAMmTUhmX6Dz
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?220Please respect copyright.PENANABzPomowkg3
220Please respect copyright.PENANAgXL3qrY0V0
220Please respect copyright.PENANA2KrkPa5Gm3
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.220Please respect copyright.PENANAYZaxBDpbvP
220Please respect copyright.PENANANpVeAmR1vp
220Please respect copyright.PENANAjCpOT24yq5
"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.220Please respect copyright.PENANAzPZNznSaVm
220Please respect copyright.PENANAPRCETRr2Xw
220Please respect copyright.PENANA9UJe5BXYUH
"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."220Please respect copyright.PENANAGv59hYqsxO
220Please respect copyright.PENANA11GfTiXued
220Please respect copyright.PENANAJKzuoGSdap
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.220Please respect copyright.PENANAWWa2xtk3Yk
220Please respect copyright.PENANADpfhwiIm89
220Please respect copyright.PENANAMNkkSVduSa
"Unhand me, you brute!" As Red Lion's security escorted Mr. Walters off the dance floor, he exclaimed.220Please respect copyright.PENANAjNLR5l8BH1
220Please respect copyright.PENANAHOPNRNAXzx
220Please respect copyright.PENANADgQtih54qa
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.220Please respect copyright.PENANAp1wHF6OtoV
220Please respect copyright.PENANA0M5QaWac98
220Please respect copyright.PENANAwoA2RBatzF
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?220Please respect copyright.PENANAwybBpTPRRT
220Please respect copyright.PENANA5SX8DvTTzS
220Please respect copyright.PENANARHwH6UN2yO
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.220Please respect copyright.PENANAoFdmpP8eKZ
220Please respect copyright.PENANA8Rjr6dA44H
220Please respect copyright.PENANAenMEvFjleU
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.220Please respect copyright.PENANAF7YShGvjsX
220Please respect copyright.PENANA3Ivdc6umLN
220Please respect copyright.PENANAPfyu2QxD3f
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.220Please respect copyright.PENANAfnYdo6cmsn
220Please respect copyright.PENANAjLiAzW0vyC
220Please respect copyright.PENANAyT74jiwtXX
"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?"220Please respect copyright.PENANAkvHBAD1pnU
220Please respect copyright.PENANA55sVAeKD78
220Please respect copyright.PENANAitsVkb6DGx
"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."220Please respect copyright.PENANATSIx9Ya0sN
220Please respect copyright.PENANApt8awe3PHA
220Please respect copyright.PENANAkz1BF8Jb15
Carly nervously laughed. "It looks like he is still mad at me for leaving the club."220Please respect copyright.PENANAcEUbEV2nYW
220Please respect copyright.PENANANomKCxOQR7
220Please respect copyright.PENANA3CPXDTAQmw
"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."220Please respect copyright.PENANAeI5O0pLWtX
220Please respect copyright.PENANAvNmhcD8tHq
220Please respect copyright.PENANADdZhykqmmd
"Speaking of the plan," said Carly, thankful for Alex for bringing it up again, "what is it, exactly?"220Please respect copyright.PENANADkoXD16Jpv
220Please respect copyright.PENANABe4Mpcw0k5
220Please respect copyright.PENANAHMquGpN15t
"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."220Please respect copyright.PENANAIualUnFt0x
220Please respect copyright.PENANAzzIDCeN3Sf
220Please respect copyright.PENANANq8K5kDqjU

220Please respect copyright.PENANAJlzWvuB54u
220Please respect copyright.PENANAc5R9SR0WAR
"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."220Please respect copyright.PENANAzEwei6O2fO
220Please respect copyright.PENANA92cozIlsz4
220Please respect copyright.PENANAstVsy4oS6f
Carly gave a nod of her head, and the two made their way back into the party.220Please respect copyright.PENANAf1ibEPHjv5
220Please respect copyright.PENANAtS2TvDflvq
220Please respect copyright.PENANA7oUUgURSyC
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.220Please respect copyright.PENANAK7sWYOTRSU
220Please respect copyright.PENANAjGKvl5cRgJ
220Please respect copyright.PENANAYyafJYKqV0
"Oh, I am so sorry," said Miranda as she tried to walk around him.220Please respect copyright.PENANAr3kVcxTEUf
220Please respect copyright.PENANASG9VO0LO2R
220Please respect copyright.PENANAnvMIQd8UCO
"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?"220Please respect copyright.PENANAwcq5hUwQdv
220Please respect copyright.PENANAb4IZC3Qz97
220Please respect copyright.PENANA5tzlOPDcL4
Miranda's eyes widened a little. Had she somehow gotten his attention?220Please respect copyright.PENANAVBAaKY5v0I
220Please respect copyright.PENANAaSkTgdAkfU
220Please respect copyright.PENANAu5nkJmEqb9
"Yes," she replied as she smiled at him. "Is there anything you need from me?"220Please respect copyright.PENANAuKdkAgnQDW
220Please respect copyright.PENANAEVYXoMmN7F
220Please respect copyright.PENANA60rKxQBC3l
"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."220Please respect copyright.PENANA9Kqe5MCbdw
220Please respect copyright.PENANAuGf2Z2ty2y
220Please respect copyright.PENANAuvZnbAp3Nw
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.220Please respect copyright.PENANA5aMxyycy5i
220Please respect copyright.PENANA1WyPUI1Dxq
220Please respect copyright.PENANAjJLXV3saFH
"Aren't you going?" Red Lion asked as he let go of her arm. "I'm not paying you for nothing, am I?"220Please respect copyright.PENANANyTpJ9Zs38
220Please respect copyright.PENANAJcF36xaxTf
220Please respect copyright.PENANA2FC3vJE1Qq
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.220Please respect copyright.PENANAbPbN4OGKaq
220Please respect copyright.PENANATpVRgir6iF
220Please respect copyright.PENANA9rhZ3fIHLu
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.220Please respect copyright.PENANA3qtkkvVWsp
220Please respect copyright.PENANAKQlporcOGO

220Please respect copyright.PENANAEVCUKvJI2G
220Please respect copyright.PENANASUwosZeKel
"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."220Please respect copyright.PENANAMVyTYBDV8k

"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."220Please respect copyright.PENANAZyV9pYMLyK

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.220Please respect copyright.PENANA4BBWcTDEyB

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.220Please respect copyright.PENANAdxeBMaG894

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.220Please respect copyright.PENANA04U4zx8Vf6

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.220Please respect copyright.PENANAB0ul3smKP4

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.220Please respect copyright.PENANAwwegkByE0w

"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?"220Please respect copyright.PENANAVnWgUW2PMm

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