“Why bring us to this VVIP section if there won’t even be hot chicks or strippers? We’d have enjoyed the ordinary member’s section,” Scott complained. “At least, they still have strippers and hot chicks there.”
“Not everyone is like you,” Ryan informed him, accepting a glass of champagne from the waiter passing by. “Don’t just get drunk ’cause I do not want to take care of a drunken, crazy wolf today.”
“That’s inevitable,” Gracie remarked. Scott glared at her and walked out. Ryan sighed and followed him knowing fully well what Scott can do once he gets drunk.
That’s how they all ended up in the other section.

“Emily… Are you going to meet Steve again?,” Mrs Jones asked with a pleaded smile as soon as Emily walked into the sitting room. The latter was all dressed up and it was evident that she is going somewhere.
“Yes, mom… I know you viewed my news feed so why are you asking me what you already know?” Emily’s tone sounded amused.
Mrs Jones chuckled, “When will you bring him home?”
“Mom!,” Emily shrieked. “He is not my boyfriend.” “Huh,” Her mother looked puzzled. “He is not? Then who is your boyfriend? Don’t tell me you don’t have one cause I know you do. I always know when you get yourself a boyfriend.”
Emily blushed at this, a certain someone calling her wifey surfacing in her head… She slowly nodded and confirmed, “Yes… I have a boyfriend.”
Her mother squealed looking excited but the happy smile soon diminished on her face. “Then are you cheating on him with Steve!? Emily Jones! I didn’t raise you to be like this.”
“Mom… Stop being so dramatic! I’ll end things with Steve today,” Emily mumbled, sitting down on a sofa.
“Did your boyfriend just propose? Wait… For how long have you known each other ’cause we have barely spent a month here,” Mrs Jones looked curious.
“Mom relax… I’m not bringing a son-in-law home to you… I’ve only gotten myself a boyfriend,” Emily felt like her mother was acting rather absurd.
Mrs Jones sighed when she heard this. She’s just realized how creeped out Emily must feel with her questions so she kept quiet for just a minute before the curiosity room was over again.
“Tell me just one thing, Emily. What work does your boyfriend do?” She sounded like a mother worried about her daughter’s future.
Emily smiled and told her the truth. Well, not the whole truth. “He works in Derrick’s company, that’s where we met. He’s also an employee there.” She didn’t want her mother to worry unnecessarily that she had hoodwinked the Ceo.
She didn’t notice that her mother froze at her words nor did she notice her mother’s voice quivering as she asked, “Derrick’s?” cause she was too busy checking her wristwatch, trying to figure out when Steve’s chauffeur would get there.
“Mhmm,” She nodded. Just then, she heard a loud honk coming from outside. Standing up hurriedly, she grabbed her purse and gave her mom a chaste kiss on the cheek.
“Mom… Inform Lena when she gets back from college that I’ll get some packages for her!,” She yelled as she left the room. Mrs Jones didn’t even hear a word from what she said.
She just sat down there motionless, staring into space looking like someone who was lost in the memories of the past. Is she?

Ryan groaned as the first ray of sunshine hit him. He turned his face away and groaned when the sun rays hit him again. “Sleepyhead… It’s noon already. When are you going to eat something?,” He heard that faint yet familiar voice.
It was only one word that caught his attention – ‘noon!!?’ Wasn’t he at the club? Wasn’t he drinking with the rest and shuffling through multiple ladies than he could count, trying to keep up with Scott?
How come it’s now noon and why does it feel like he is on a bed? He reached out and a soft pillow was the first thing his fingers touched. That did it. He opened his eyes and saw Pearl parting the curtains.
He hurriedly stood up and realized that he was completely nude, wearing just his briefs. Clutching the duvet tightly, he asked Pearl, “How did I get back here and why am I nude?” His voice contained a fit of unsealed anger.
Pearl turned to him and smiled. “You threw up last night so Nico had to remove your clothes. We figured out that you might throw up again so we let you sleep nude.”
Ryan groaned and held his head, “It’s that darn Scott’s fault. He tricked me into drinking so much under the guise of celebrating Nico’s engagement. Did I embarrass myself in front of Kate?”
Pearl chuckled, “I’m surprised you still remember Kate since you seemed pretty drunk when he introduced her to us last night.”
Ryan groaned again and looked around the room. His eyes landed on the pink bedspread and pillows. “Why am I in your room?” He looked puzzled. He’d been able to guess judging from the colour cause she is the only one with the weird obsession with pink.
“It was the nearest and Nico couldn’t handle you anymore so I asked him to leave you here… Be ready assured that I didn’t take advantage of you. I slept in the guest room,” She immediately assured him, failing to mention how she stole kisses from him yesterday.
Ryan nodded even though he still felt sceptical about her words. He could smell her scent all over him and it was repulsing them badly. By then, I mean him and Ray.
Ray even urged him to go and take a bath immediately so as to watch off the horrible scent on him.
But Ryan couldn’t leave the bed. Not with the way he was almost naked. No one expects Emily is allowed to see him this way. ‘Woah… Woah! Where did that come from?’ Ryan wondered as soon as that thought slipped into his mind.
I guess he’d already forgotten how he shifted and displayed his nakedness to everyone even though it was to only their wolves.
