They were smitten by her beauty and by her voice.


    When Wesley came around backstage, he found ir was still there and that she was being besieged


    by a group of young men, all talking andughing happily with her. Immediately, he pulled a glum face.


    For some reason, he didn’t like seeing that.


    But he didn’t go over to interrupt them; instead, he walked towards a dark corner where he could hide,


    leaned against the column and began to smoke.


    ir was under the impression that the conversation with these young men would end in a few


    minutes. However, since her performance was almost at the end of the show, more and more soldiers


    began to leave the venue and joined the conversation with her. They wanted to know all sorts of things


    and some wanted to hit on her.


    She tried a few times to excuse herself and take her leave, but failed.


    They kept asking her a plethora of questions. She had no choice but to chat with them, wearing a


    helpless smile, and trying to dodge the flirting.


    Half an hourter, a phone call saved her from further torture. Orion was calling her sote. ‘What is it


    now?‘ she wondered.


    She sighed with relief and swung her phone in front of the group, apologizing, “Sorry guys. I gotta take


    this. Excuse me.”


    Reluctantly, the enormous group of soldiers allowed her to walk out of ear-shot.


    Picking up the phone, ir walked into a corner.

    “Hi, Orion. What’s up?”


    “Hi, ir. Have you gone to bed? Did I wake you?” Orion’s voice sounded chirpy despite the Late hour


    ninjanovel


    “No. I’m still ying outside. What’s up?”


    “Well, I’m having a party with my friends. Would you like toe? I am not so far away from your


    apartment…”


    ir checked the time. It was over ten.


    “Thank you so much Orion. But


    I am sorry. It’s reallyte now. How about we take a rain check on the treat?”


    Orion insisted, “Come on, it’s just a little past ten. This is when the night life starts anyway. By the way, I


    heard that you quit your job in the Jameson Group. Would you Like toe work at mypany? I


    have positions open all the time for you. I’ll even double your sry. What do you think?”


    That was a really tempting offer, but ir decided against it.


    “Orion, you know that I don’t have much of working experience yet. I’m not capable enough to be


    rewarded with such a high sry. Please don’t give me special treatment just because we’re friends. If


    your grandpa finds out, he’s going to be furious and you’ll have to suffer because of me.”


    Thinking about his grandfather, Orion touched his chest to calm down.


    “Hey, not cool! Don’t mention my grandpa. Ande on. Look I’ll pick you up now. It’s okay if you don’t


    want to y with my friends. We can talk about work. I really want to invite you to work in ourpany


    and you don’t need to be so modest. The certificates you got make you worthy of what I am offering…”


    ir hesitated, and then finally nodded, “Okay. Where are you now?


    Who’s with you?”


    “I’ve rented out a private booth in a small, friendly pub. There are three girls and four boys. They are


    pretty good friends of mine. I think you even know one of the girls here. She’s our schoolmate.” Orion


    and ir had known each other for the better part of two years now. He was fully aware of the fact that


    she was an Oriental girl with traditional beliefs. So he told ir that they were in a booth with some


    other girls to make her feel relieved and convince her toe.
