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.

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.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Z4aaAYHLG

"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. If you really want to know more about him, I suggest you talk to her about him."592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAgHoLKim6

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.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XhbXwPxiK

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.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbr8AnTtpf8

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?592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMgP9bdjfq
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GxAgiMYWG
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgr2cVbiMeX
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.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdNsHcU5Tm

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.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhLHghh2I9

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.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtE8bpkIb9B

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.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliraGaFts0

She went straight for her locker upon entering the room when she felt her phone vibrate in her hand. Mr. Walters is calling.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AHmNBs69Y
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUhkaBi939
592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhSHivSF1a
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.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNq3Bn9Nkh

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'.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDh5peH8BFo

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.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWaObR2idd

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.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpDnhykAHC

"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?"592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrTwGWhG6w

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.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUYTpTmIY2

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.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbS4bZC1NWO

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.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCcggf4ce8

592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4Z4qijhF9
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.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7i1QUkQmy

592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8avcJlic20

592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCG1SSXKSPV

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.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScIkNq3YW6

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.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJdYOtRBd4

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.592Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjR5rJtL1By

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.
