Kembang Setaman Discotheque
As the new owner of Kembang Setaman Discotheque, Mariana sat comfortably on the upper floor. Her eyes scanned the crowd dancing below under the spinning disco lights.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGzvXPeMgt
In front of her was a glass of cold cocktail. Meanwhile, her right hand kept playing with a paper fan, even though the room was cool thanks to the AC.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUQtjiGDGo
Several bodyguards stood on alert, ensuring Mariana's safety. Including Broto, who was always near her.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4edUlbkyi
Suddenly, a security guard came upstairs and whispered something to Broto.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9dtrzUoTc
Broto quickly approached Mariana.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5wX6f5WjY
Broto: "Ma'am, two high-ranking police officers want to meet you."
