Risa had mentioned–quite proudly, in fact that the guys inside had six–packs.
“They’re really fun to touch,” she said.
Ahem. Not that she touched them. She was a decent woman, after all.
Older or younger didn’t matter to her. She never cared much about age–and she didn’t cross the line either.
The moment they arrived at the club, Alice gave Risa a hug.
“How many did you order?”
Risa smirked mischievously. “What, is Mr. Eric only allowed to look but not touch?”
Alice looked up at the ceiling, utterly speechless.
“Don’t start. This is a saga of heartbreak and frustration.”
Risa burst out laughing.
“Alice, come on. You’ve been all over the place since you were young. You’ve seen the world. How are you still not able to handle Mr. Eric?”
Alice replied with a line straight from a playboy’s handbook.
“Those hotties you ordered? As long as you pay, it’s whatever.
“But Mr. Eric? That’s different.
“If something actually happens with him, I’d have to take responsibility.
“Even if I didn’t want to take responsibility, do you think he’d let me off the hook?
“Not that I’m scared of him or anything.
“But having a guy like that chasing after you–it’s exhausting.”
Risa blinked, caught completely off guard.
“Are you serious?”
Alice nodded solemnly.
“Listen to me. Flirting is fun, teasing is fine, but falling in love with a man? That’s a death sentence.
Risa was wordless.
“Please don’t jinx yourself.”
They made their way to their private lounge. As soon as they entered, a dozen well–dressed servers bowed

and politely took Alice’s bag.
No sooner had they sat down than someone brought over a fresh fruit platter.
Everything screamed luxury. Queen treatment, all the way.
Meanwhile, Linda and Les also arrived at the club.
Linda hadn’t planned on coming, but Les said he had an important meeting.
If she tagged along, he could introduce her to some big names.
That caught her interest. She put on her most expensive dress and clung to his arm like the perfect little girlfriend.
Les, basking in her attention, was feeling quite smug.
He figured tonight would be the night.
He’d win her over completely–and maybe move on afterward.
But when they turned a corner, Linda suddenly stopped walking. Les frowned. “What is it?”
Linda saw Alice and Risa heading into a private suite.
She didn’t recognize Risa, but Alice showing up in a place like this? That was suspicious.
“I just need to use the restroom. I’ll be right back.”
Les didn’t think much of it. After all, Linda had been obedient and sweet to him lately.
“Fine, but don’t take too long. I’ll be waiting in the suite.”
Linda smiled and nodded. Once he left, she turned around and walked straight toward the room Alice had
entered.
But two tall bodyguards were stationed at the door.
“Ma’am, I’m sorry, but this suite is private. Please leave.”
Linda’s curiosity only grew.
She knew Alice was technically married, but the Nolans didn’t exactly adore her.
Alice was low–key; she rarely brought Eric’s bodyguards around in public.
So these bodyguards probably weren’t his. Maybe they belonged to another woman–or one of the men inside.
Even though the club was loud, she could hear laughter spilling from the suite.
Men and women both. Clearly a lively party.
She hesitated, then pulled out her phone to call Eric.

Only she’d been blocked, her call was unlikely to go through.
With no other options, she called her brother,
The only one who picked up was Boston.
Out of all her siblings, Boston was the celebrity who made it on his own without relying on the family
name.
He was also always busy and, ironically, the easiest to reach.
Linda felt something twist in her chest. She didn’t know what the feeling was.
“Boston, could you come to Delirium Club?” she asked.
Boston paused. He could tell it was a high–end place just from the name. “You outta cash already?”
“No, it’s not that. There’s something going on here, and I don’t know how to deal with it.”
Boston thought she might’ve gotten herself into trouble. Worried, he grabbed his assistant and manager
and rushed over.
After hanging up, Linda texted him the suite number and then, smiling sweetly, went back to find Les.
Alice had had a little to drink.
A few charming young men were peeling oranges for her, but she sat motionless–completely uninterested.
Risa noticed and leaned in, suddenly suspicious.
“Alice, are you okay? Don’t tell me you’ve lost your edge.”
Alice gave her a look, not saying anything.
Risa popped open a bottle of whiskey and laughed.
“If our girlfriends overseas saw you now–calm, sober, totally uninterested–they’d think you’d switched teams.”
Alice rubbed her forehead. “I’m just thinking.”
“Oh? About Venom?”
“Are you secretly a mind reader of something?”
Risa laughed so hard she nearly fell over. She waved the boys away and moved closer to Alice.
“Seriously though. I watched that livestream, and I seriously considered recruiting Venom as a celebrity. He’s so hot. Like, dangerously hot. Right in my strike zone.”
