“Conor, I didn't know you like this M&M Club that much.”Austin said jokingly. All the three of them were now seated in a VIP room but Jake had not arrived yet . Conor had called all of them to meet at the club, with the offer to pay the bills.
“Man, today he even arrived before us, what's the special occasion? Is there something we are missing on?” Edwin joined in the conversation.
Conor did not reply, instead he stood up and walked towards the door but before he could touch the door handle, it was suddenly opened from outside, the first to walk in was Jake followed by his assistant.
“And here comes the king...” Adam said, “do you know how long we have been here just drinking, ” he was quite for a while as if waiting for someone to answer but to no avail. He decided to just answer it by himself, “for two and a half f*****g hours and the king arrived at midnight, that should Cinderella's role man.”
Everyone was speechless, they had forgotten Adam had a low alcohol tolerance and it had started hitting.
Jake just looked at him and ignored him, he walked past him and sat on an empty couch next to the window.
“I am heading to get some fresh air.” Conor said.
“Yoh! You called us here and now you are heading out for fresh air, what do you want us to do? Go to the karaoke room!?” Adam complained. Edwin's mouth twitched while Jake's assistant almost spat out the water he just drank. Jake furrowed his eyebrows in anger, wondering why he came.
Conor did not answer he walked to the first floor corridor only to see two beautiful women entering the club walking and talking casually while laughing out loud. The club was very noisy with the music and chattering of people but he could still hear their laughter from where he was. But his eyes remained on the one at the left. He knew the left one wasn't a woman, he had changed his appearance to a woman, just like three years ago when he was escaping. He smiled, for the first time. Out of the five of them Conor hardly smiles, followed by Jake, the two of them always have a straight face, it's like a clay sculpture, with no expressions.
“Isn't that the woman from yesterday who said we are a band!?” Edwin said, bringing Conor back from his thoughts. He did not even hear him coming. “What the f**k! Dude you just smiled!” Edwin continued with surprise written all over his face,then he followed Conor's gaze and saw the two women approaching the bar counter, one sat at the bar stool while the other went around and started making cocktails, still talking and laughing. “Is she the reason why you came early, dude I never thought you can be swayed by anyone. The woman's group of friends are very unique.”he sighed.
All this while Conor had not replied, but his expression went back to normal,but his gaze did not falter.
Down stairs, Mimi was mixing drinks and serving the customers who were sitted at the counter while making small talks and smiling at them.
“I keep following you in whichever bar you go, do you know that? Apart from looks, you are also talented,” said one of the guests who was waiting for his glass to be filled.
“I guess I was blessed before I was born,” came her reply after she finished filling his glass and then gave him an alluring wink causing the guest to blush. She always had a way of making men blush.
“You know, your wicked cocktails always make me go crazy in bed, my wife always complain,” another one said.
“Maybe you should bring her along next time you come, you know it's not good to drink alone...” She replied.
The man chuckled, “for her, drinking is a sin.”
“I support her,” she answered and they all laughed. She walked towards Bee and whispered a question, “any leads?”
He shook his head, “the target hasn't made any move yet.”
She looked at him and said, “ can you go and change your clothes, they will make a move soon.”
He stood up to leave but was blocked by a group of men, no a man and the rest were his body guards.“Hey beauty care for a drink or two?”
“Yes,” Bee answered and then tried to walk past them but the bodyguards blocked him.
“You can't leave unless I say so,” he said.
“I didn't know dickheads in this country force women to comply to their shitty needs.” Bee sneered arrogantly. The man spanked his ass causing Bee to rile up and gave the man a hard slap.
He caught his hands before it could reach his cheek, “what a feisty one we got here. After I am done with you maybe my guards will enjoy the rest.”He said, dragging him forcefully.
Pang'! Came a sound from a broken glass.
“Who hit me?” The man asked, “Do you know who I am? Who dared to hit me?” No one answered because no one heard him shouting except for the people who were close. He turned to look at Mimi who was staring back at him, “are you the one who hit me?”
Mimi looked at him innocently, then looked behind as if trying to see if there was someone behind her. “I am talking to you, there is no one else behind you, ” the man said in an irritated voice.
“Who, me?” Mimi said, shrugging her shoulders as if she didn't know what the man was talking about. “I don't know, I just saw the glass falling down, I guess it must be some punk from the top who wants to challenge you,”she said, pointing at the top with a glass in her hands. The man followed her direction at where she was pointing, only to see a figure staring down at him maliciously.
