    “I’ve never been to a bar- Lanained meekly. “You know how strict Mom and Dad are with me.


    As long as they think that something’s bad, then they won’t let me do it. I’m already 24, but they still


    treat me like a kid, worrying about this and that. I thought they would be less controlling once I had a


    boyfriend, but they didn’t change at all. I only had someone new bossing me around, and that’s Lucas!


    I’ve wanted to go to bars and see more of the world since I came of age, but I’ve never even set foot in


    one until now.” Lana leaned against Larissa and rubbed her cheek against Larissa’s arm like a kitten.


    “Lyssa, I’m begging you. Just take me once please?”


    Though Larissa had never approved of Yvette and Xavier’s parenting methods, she found hersell


    agreeing with them for once. “Bars are messy and dangerous. It’s no ce for a girl to visit.” Especially


    more so for girls like Lana, who looked cute and innocent. They would easily be prey to men with


    bad intentions. Perhaps, Lana thought Larissa was much more understanding than her parents and


    Lucas, so she continued pestering her. Til go just this once!” She raised her hand as ifking an oath


    and implored, “Take me inside to have a look. If you don’t feel good about it, we’ll leave immediately.


    Please?”


    Larissa remained resolute and still did not give in. Firstly, bars weren’t a suitable ce for Lana.


    Secondly, if Yvette found out that she had taken Lana to a bar, Yvette would make Larissa’s life hell


    again. She stepped on the gas, and the car shot past Lido Street Lana leaned against the window


    staring at the Bar Avenue signboard fading into the distance. A mncholic silence enveloped Lana as


    she lowered her head and fiddled with her phone expressionlessly..


    Larissa stole a nce at Lana and couldn’t help but feel a little sorry for her. “If you truly want to


    experience a bar–like setting, we could visit the restaurant bar at Regal Dynasty. The environment is


    good, and the clientele tends to be more refined. Besides, the live band there is famous,” she


    proposed, trying to find a middle ground with Lana


    Lana couldn’t be persuaded. “Restaurant bars don’t have the same exciting atmosphere.” Lana retorted


    coldly. She seemed like apletely different person than she was earlier.


    Larissa dropped the topic since Lana rejected her. “If you don’t want to have dinner. I just drop you


    back at the hotel” said Larissa. She turned the steering wheel and drove up the slope to the hotel’s


    entrance.


    Lana was pressing her phone screen at a furious speed, and her phone was vibrating non–stop. She


    was probably texting someone. “A


    friend of mine is also in Covenford, and we agreed to have dinner, Drive me to Parker Mall” she


    instructed.


    Parker Mall was a massive shoppingplex in Covenford near the Regal Dynasty Hotel. It would be


    convenient for Lana to return to the hotel after dinner. “Okay,” said Larissa and drove Lana there. She


    only drove off after seeing that Lana had met her friend.


    At 2 am, Larissa got woken up by her phone ringing. With her eyes closed, she felt for her phone and


    immediately answered the call


    without seeing the caller ID. She put it to her ear and said, “Hello?”


    Lana’s voice was choked with sobs over the phone. “Lyssae and save me, quick I’m at Quinn Bar


    on Lido Street, and a gang of people is blocking my way out of the toilet-


    203 not to go


    Larissa immediately grew wide awake and asked hoarsely, “Why did you go there? Earlier, she had


    specifically warned Lana not to anywhere and return to the hotel right after dinner!


    “—“Lana stuttered for a long time, but she couldn’t finish her sentence.


    “Okay. It’s okay,” Larissa interrupted while scratching her head in frustration. “I’m calling Lucas right


    away.”

    “Don’t!” Lana shouted, “You can’t let him find out about this! He’ll definitely tell Mom and Dad!”


    Larissa paused as she was about to hang up. “Then wait for me.” she said. She crawled out of bed


    helplessly and put on a thickyer of clothing as fast as she could.


    Larissa recalled her own experiences of going to a bar twice with her colleagues, which they had


    visited as arge group each time. There was a mix of male and femalepanions on both


    asions, and nothing overly dramatic urred. However, she also vividly


    remembered witnessing a bar fight once. A few drunk men had relentlessly hit each other with beer


    bottles and didn’t stop even when the


    other person was already bleeding on the floor.
