Chapter 26: Play Your GamesAlexander stirred and groaned as he slowly opened his eyes, feeling as though he had just been hit on the head. Quickly, he scanned his surroundings, frowning in confusion at what just happened.
’Did she drug me?’ he inwardly cursed as he moved on his seat. He then recalled Rain’s words before he lost consciousness.
’Once you wake up and find me still not back in this lounge, that means I’m in danger. You need to make a scene and act like you’re drunk and angry while looking around for me, because if you don’t... I’ll end up dead.’
"Shit! What a troublesome woman..." he muttered under his breath.
Getting up from his chair, he bolted right outside to the lounge. He knew things didn’t make any sense, but he didn’t want to take a risk... What if that woman was truly in danger?
In the hallway, he saw Madame Beck and the bouncers behind her, with Rain standing on the open door. Instinctively, he staggered, slurring his words and shouting, "Twilight, dammit! Come back here!"
He stumbled around, acting as if he was desperately
"Are you leaving?" she asked, a frown creasing her brow.
"Is there a reason to stay?" he replied in irritation. "I’m wasting my time here as it is."
"Are you going to come back?"
Alexander paused, turning to face her. His eyes narrowed as he asked, "Do you want me to come back, search for you, and play your games?"
A subtle tension hung in the air as Rain smiled mischievously. "If you find it interesting, then why not? Come by whenever you get bored with your busy schedule, Mr. Lancaster."
Alexander didn’t respond. Instead, he turned and walked out. Seriously, this woman was testing his patience.
Walking outside, Tyron immediately approached him. "Boss, Rain didn’t show up, and her mobile phone is unreachable," he reported.
Alexander let out a heavy sigh. "Get me all the information you can on Diana Jones."
