The place was a breeding ground for flirtation and indulgence.
As Tessa stepped into the bar, the clamor of voices and music made her knit her brows. She never really liked places like this.
"Tess, over here!" Naomi waved her over, standing next to Sienna.
Tessa walked over as Naomi casually led her to the drinks bar, settling onto a high stool. "Leo, three Mojitos."
The bartender smiled in response and began mixing the drinks with skilled hands.
Naomi leaned closer and whispered in Tessa's ear, "This bartender's name is Leo. He's 26 and basically the 'star attraction' of this place. What do you think? Pretty handsome, huh?"
Tessa lifted her gaze and took a quick look at the man before her. He wasn't very tall—maybe about five feet nine inches—but he had delicate, attractive features. His slightly wavy hair gave off the vibe of an actor straight out of a movie.
Without revealing much emotion, she withdrew her gaze. "He's alright."
Naomi grinned mischievously. "So, do you like this type? That's the little puppy I was telling you about. Tons of girls come here just to see him."
As if on cue, a girl approached Leo, openly flirting with him and slipping a thick stack of banknotes across the counter without hesitation.
Tessa shook her head. "Too many women around him—not my type."
"Oh, come on. It's just for fun, not marriage," Naomi teased with a playful lift of her eyebrows. "Why should men have all the fun while we sit around being saints?
"Stephen's out there parading around with some actress, and you're still playing the devoted ex? Live a little! Have fun!"
Tessa frowned. "I... I'm not interested…"
"That's only because you haven't tasted how fun it can be."
The bartender placed three Mojitos in front of them.
Naomi gave him a sweet smile. "Thanks, handsome."

Oh my god, when is this book finishing... they're not even back together yet and more nonsense side plots.....
Whoa! Hahahahahaha! Go, Sophia! Burn, stupid Rowena! Lol...
Sooo~ Chapters 310-318 were just a repeat of Jacqueline’s punishment, official expulsion from the Jacobson family, and arrest. With few changes since Tessa and Stephen are not together this time. So Tessa didn’t witness how Jacqueline was tortured at Stephen’s base, though at least Tessa was still called over and witnessed how Stephen officially expelled Jacqueline from the Jacobson family and how Stephen’s subordinate made Jacqueline grovel in front of Tessa. Lol. I hope Jacqueline’s really out of the story now....
Also a lot of chapters were missing here. I went back to the application where it was originally published that’s why i know that this site is not reliable...
Fucked up book! Seems like the authors were not talking to each other. LOL. Yes authors, because of the inconsistencies....
The story went downhill after pg200 1. Why is Jacqueline back… she was expelled from the family already 2. There was no reason for Rowena to be mad at Tessa 3. The Jacobson already knows that Stephen wants to get back witb Tessa after they deal with James, so why is Rowena pushing hard? LOL 4. The family also knows that Stephen and Nancy have some sort of deal. The story was okay from page 1-199, but clearly it’s a thumbs down. I can deal with grammatical errors, but story errors is just different now....
This is funny! Jacqueline was also the culprit why James knew that nancy was Stephen's cousin. So, really, what happened when steohen tortured jacqueline hahah...
I wonder how many authors does this book have? Suddenly jacqueline was back and continue to bad mouth tessa. And was stunned that tessa knows her feelings about stephen. And then rowena was freaking mad at tessa too; because there werw multiple instances that tessa sharp-tongued her. 🤣...
What is wrong with the story flow? At chapter 160-164 there’s this whole thing about Stephen revealing in front of all the Jacobsons family members about Jacqueline’s inappropriate feelings towards him and her involvement in murder. There’s even this “Just like that, Jacqueline was officially expelled from the Jacobson family. Stephen then promptly handed her to the authorities.” So I was already glad the bitch is out of the picture. And then suddenly at chapter 236, Jacqueline appears again like nothing happened, still being the adoptive daughter of the Jacobson family and the family being unaware of her feelings for Stephen. Seriously? Doesn’t make sense anymore....
The latest update is just a repetition of the previous chapters...
