Angel cut the call and stared up at the ceiling for a while. Her mother soon came to mind. A day never passes without Angel thinking about her. And she realised that with her mother gone, she now has a big responsibility of taking care of Carly. It will be tough.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFy8Y52490

Angel hadn't noticed that Leo was also around as she heard the sound of someone munching on something. He stood at the front end of her cubicle, chewing on a paper-wrapped sandwich. He stopped chewing when he noticed that Angel had his eyes on him.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIAoBterT1

"If you're worried that he might try and convince her to go back, he won't," said Angel, raising her eyebrow at Leo. "When we first met, he was very kind to me. In fact, I know he's a good guy and won't do anything that would jeopardise Carly.

Her lecture grew boring by the minute and she couldn’t help but turn her attention elsewhere. She wished for the day to be over so she could go home. She thought she might not be able to go to the club tonight, so she better inform Mr. Walters. She took her phone and pressed the power button to light up the screen. She groaned again when she looked at the time. A few heads in front of her turned and she threw them a look, telling them to mind their business. She went on to unlock her phone and sent Mr. Walters a text very quickly.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXawHuBSao8

She placed the phone back down and tried her very best to sit upright to try and concentrate. Immediately she did and got a few words from her lecturer, her phone beeped beside her book. She rolled her eyes and told herself that she would look at it later.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0TqG9dS72

A few seconds later, she found herself playing with her pen, not getting a word her lecturer was saying. Shoot, she told herself as she felt bored. She checked the time on her phone again. This time the notification on her lock screen was beckoning her to open it. As bored as she is, she unlocked her phone and went to her messages. It’s from Mr. Walters. She didn’t expect him to reply so soon. It read that she should come to the club no matter what and right after her classes. Miranda raised an eyebrow. He has never asked her to come very early for work. What’s the big occasion?634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1TDN6hw0u
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjN6vHAaiE
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NQHaGIZl5
She quickly texted him back, asking why she should go early. She sent the message and looked at the phone eagerly, waiting for him to reply there and then, but he didn’t. She put her phone back down and looked towards the lecturer, getting bored again. Her eyes soon lit up when her phone vibrated. Mr, Walters texted her back. She quickly read the message. It said that he needed her there because there’s a special party he’s hosting for someone.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRy59IBDQn

Miranda bit her lip as she thought about it. As much as she’s a fan of parties, she didn’t want to go anywhere tonight. Mr. Walters soon sent her a text saying he’ll pay her double the amount she gets on most nights. She thought about it and texted him back saying that she wanted the money tripled.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzhG7u0ze1

She didn’t get the chance to put her phone down when he texted back saying it’s a done deal. Miranda can’t believe it. The owner of the party must be some big shot, she thought. Looks like she’ll have to ditch her plans of chilling at home and attend. She texted back saying she’ll be there.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuO2JliiCf

The sound of your lecturer telling his students that the lecture is over, was music to Carly’s ears. She quickly packed her books in her backpack just like everyone around her.

A sudden thought crossed her mind: he and Carly are probably together at this very moment. She looked out the window to catch her breath. As much as she tried to convince herself that she might be overthinking it, a strong part of her knew she’s right.

As soon as she arrived at the club's back door, she could already feel the atmosphere. It's just another busy night as usual, she told herself as she closed the door behind her. She gave a nod to the man who always stood guard inside and made her way down the hall towards the dressing room.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLI6VVNh5gw

She went straight for her locker upon entering the room when she felt her phone vibrate in her hand. Mr. Walters is calling.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjs5rNeVpgR
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6EwoMfyLQ
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9aPThDJvKa
She answered. "If you're going to ask where I am, I'm already in the dressing room," she said with the earphones still in her ears.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadoKjQGVKE

634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQnXx5xWST
"I know that, you don't have to tell me how to do my job," Mr. Walters sounded like he is about to snap. "There will be the five of you. It's a small party, nothing special."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WPfP06vsI

Alex drove the car downtown and Carly couldn't help but look around. She didn't expect to be in this part of town. She thought the party they were attending would be in some luxurious place in the city. Maybe in some prestigious club, unlike Mr. Walters'.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEapvHBl6yP
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wmOvGVTVH
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhiLNUTDoY
"Hey, are you sure the event is taking place around this part of town?" Carly couldn't help but ask as she turned to look at Alex. "Red Lion described it like it's a party with class."634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmd6Wp5rR1t
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQLoDVB3LJ

Alex rolled his eyes. Do women really talk like this all the time, he asked himself. He already knew the answer to that. But there’s something about Carly when she asked her questions that almost drove him to the edge of madness.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGKBtfa6ZD

634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPxLAtVoVX
They were approaching the area close to the New York harbour. The road was quiet and only a few cars and some vans coming passed them going the opposite direction. Before they could reach the premises, Alex slowed the car and stopped.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqEhujgCOS
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Zk9plrD1g
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWVdcZ5RuQ
"What is it?" Carly asked as she looked at him. "Are you telling me we’re stopping here?" she looked out of the window. "But we’re just outside the harbour. Are we having a party here?"634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSSIkYvdVZ
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzsPetaUsq
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7pqErjHGQ
Alex didn’t answer as he bent to her side to reach his hand to the glove compartment. He removed a black folded cloth and closed the compartment. He sat up straight, looking at Carly.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoTwURP0Hh

Alex opened the door and went out himself. Carly had no choice but to do as he said. He did tell her that he would've to blindfold her. When she got out, she looked around. She stood a few feet away from the wire fence that separated the ship bay premises and the road. She could see a ship pulling up into the bay from a distance and there came the sound of its horn.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLLUv6nuwj

Carly looked at him before doing so. She felt him coming close behind her and she had the sudden urge to turn around again because she didn’t like this. She saw the black cloth that he had come over her head and blinding her eyes.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjco6RL18b

634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ikX5PcXQV
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKy6HTY02aJ
After doing so, he opened the car door beside her and helped her in carefully. He closed the door and he went round the car to the driver’s seat. He started the car and did a U-turn. Carly could feel how the car moved and she held her breath for a moment.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyo0tICA31

634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVV2cE8EGaG

634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw23WHlGOoB
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCQRX8Qaaz
Carly noticed his tone and pressed her lips together to keep herself from talking back. He might not have instructions to kill her, but when you drive a person mad, who knows what they may do.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVL4cjXqNOz
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdLGlv1kkr
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUbrBFn87y

634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfcCzlQV2u

634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMZnYIM4jz
Easy for you to say, Carly said to herself. How she wished she knew where they’re going. The car made a few more turns before slowly coming to a stop. Carly felt her heart beat faster. This is it, they’ve finally arrived.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHwau8i3gt
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LXwzDlB8v

634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruqKnmfjn3
The car door opened beside her and she felt the burst of the cold night air. Could they still be near the harbour, she wondered. Alex took both of her hands and she felt awkward as she felt how large and calloused they were, yet he touched her gently. She actually expected him to grab her by the arm and roughly pull her out of the car.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJg9Zlz5Td9
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeiFBlHCk0

"Relax, I'm just going to close the car door," he said as he walked past her. And just as he had said, he closed it. Carly remained there, breathing in the cold night air and shaking, wondering why all this is happening to her.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9DXWfhb5F
634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35sWo7hSLw

Alex continued to lead Carly on ahead, leaving the men at the gate. As they walked, she felt her surroundings suddenly change. She could tell they are entering a building because she no longer felt the cold night air. She soon heard the clanking sound of metal above and she wondered if those were pipes. The air around them felt warm and damp.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5EPpweHU6

She heard something move in front of her like a metal door and Alex soon led her forward again, taking a few steps before stopping. Carly felt like she had entered a different room until she felt the floor move after another buzzing sound came through. It felt like she's in some kind of elevator and they were descending.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuHLo1Va7g

Carly knew Red Lion stood in front of her and soon enough, he lifted up her blindfold. Carly's eyes had to adjust to the lights as she first looked at Red Lion. Her attention soon diverted to the room. She's shocked to see what's around her.634Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOBSqdkRAc
