    Oh no, several people felt uneasy, quickly trying to distance themselves from Tabitha.


    Ms. Rita, we were just passing by. We don’t really know her.”


    “Can’t keep your mouths shut even when you’re just passing by? Maybe you shouldn’t be in the


    entertainment industry. Go home, wash up, and get some sleep.” Rita nced over, summoning the


    security guard and whispering a few words.


    The security promptly escorted them out. “Ms. Rita! Ms. Rita!” Some still called out desperately,


    attracting the attention of everyone


    around.


    “I don’t want to see these people in the industry ever again.”


    Rita, after sharing a smile with the audience, took Cam by the arm and headed back to the bar.


    “I’m sorry you had to see that. Connor’s going to me meter.”


    “Not at all, I should be thanking you.” Cam quickly waved her off.


    “Two Alcoves, please.”


    Join me for one. The cocktails are low in alcohol,” Rita said warmly after ordering, smiling gently at


    Cam.


    “Sure.” Rita had just helped her out. It was hard for Cam to refuse, and she nodded with a smile.


    As they chatted, the bartender quickly prepared their drinks. Cam tasted hers–it was sweet with


    hardly a hint of alcohol.


    Connor descended from the private booth and approached them. As he was about to speak, his


    eyes suddenly caught sight of the empty ss in front of Cam. His brows furrowing slightly. “Have


    you been drinking?”


    Cam’s eyes were slightly unfocused, and she nodded nkly, her cheeks tinged pink as if


    caressed by the gentle breeze of spring, radiantly beautiful.


    “It’s just a cocktail, no big deal,” Rita said, slightly annoyed.


    “She can’t handle her liquor.”


    Connor red at her, and Rita pursed her lips, looking imploringly towards Logan. Logan tried to


    ease the tension, “Hey, it’s just one drink, no biggie.”


    The bartender, who had already prepared another drink, hesitated. He held it mid–air, unsure


    whether to set it down.

    Cam spotted the drink hanging in the air and reached out for it, murmuring, “Thank you.” She was


    indeed a bit tipsy, her voice soft and mellow.


    Connor swiftly took the drink from her hand and downed it in one gulp. “That was my drink, why are


    you taking…” Cam’s words slurred slightly, like a whisper in a dream, alluring and mesmerizing.


    “We should head back,” Connor told Rita.


    He took Cam by the arm, saying softly, “Let’s go home.”


    “Okay.”


    Cam looked up at him, her eyes shimmering with a mesmerizing glow. She smiled sweetly, her


    smile blooming like a flower, delicate and enchanting.


    She got up, staggering slightly. Connor held her arm tightly to prevent her from falling.


    When they walked out of the bar, the driver was already at the door with the car door open, waiting


    for them. Connor gently guided Cam into the car, then walked around to the other side and got in,


    helping her to buckle up.


    Beside him, all was quiet. Connor turned his head and saw Cam leaning against the back of the


    seat, her eyes closed and her head tilted to the side.


    Was she asleep?


    As Cam drifted further, her head also began to tilt further. She looked like she was going to fall at


    any moment. Connor reached out to support her face. In the dim light of the car, her delicate


    features appeared even more exquisite.

    She seemed to feel the warmth, rubbing her cheek like a kitten against his palm. Connor intended


    to adjust her head upright, but unexpectedly, her soft lips brushed against his palm.


    Suddenly, a jolt of electricity spread from his palm, as if time had frozen at that moment. His Adam’s


    apple bobbed slightly.


    In the dimly lit room.


    Connory over her bare body, gently kissing away the tears at the corner of her eyes.
