As soon as they turned their attention away from me, I planned to slip out unnoticed. I spotted some juice on the table and reached for it. However, I quickly hesitated and put it back.
It was better not to eat or drink anything in places like this. One would never know who might have the intention of spiking it with something nasty. This kind of thing wasn't uncommon in the trust fund kid circles.
I crossed my arms, growing impatient and wondering when I could leave. Just then, a sharp, feminine voice rang out from the door. "Let's welcome Mr. Caldwell's beloved girlfriend!"
Soon, a woman walked in, wearing a black strappy long dress. Her pearl earrings sparkled, and her thick, dark hair was styled in glossy curls. Bright red lipstick finished off her bold look.
At first glance, she was stunning. When I looked closer, I froze.
It was Lina.
I hadn't seen her in a while, and I didn't recognize her at first. Her hair was now dyed black, and her entire appearance and aura had transformed. Lina used to be like a pure white daisy in the fall, but now, she looked more like a bold red rose, blooming under the moonlight.
"Damn, she's gorgeous!" someone murmured.
"She's definitely got the aura of a boss' woman," another commented.
"It's no surprise she got rid of Cherry. Cherry's nothing compared to her."
"Her feet are so delicate and fair. Dorian sure knows how to pick girls."
"Dorian's luck with women is unbelievable. They just keep getting more beautiful."
