Yet, a blend of dissatisfaction and curiosity stirred inside Jenna. It wasn't like her elder sister to hold back her opinion."Jenna," Melinda spoke up finally, unable to contain her irritation any longer. "You were so certain that Caspian was cheating on Sylvie with you, and now you're claiming he's your boyfriend?"Jenna let out a light chuckle, struggling to find the right words to explain herself. "I was just joking around," she said lamely."You said the other time that it's not funny for someone like Caspian to just leave his girlfriend without any reason....." Melinda chimed in.Interrupting, Jenna turne

With Jenna by his side, Caspian was met by bouncers at the club entrance who eyed them with smug expressions. Before grabbing his ticket from his denim pocket, Caspian confidently patted Jenna's back. As he brandished his VIP pass at the bouncers in black dresses, they recoiled and gave him disapproving glares."Where did this young man get a VIP ticket like this?" one of them sneered under their breath."Maybe he stole it," another whispered, not realizing how loud they were speaking.Caspian met their accusations with a stern look, "What are you saying? Are you insane?""Haha, do you even know who I am?" he bellowed, catching the bouncers off guard with his outburst.Caspian's effort to intimidate the bouncers fell flat as they remained silent and unimpressed.

Caspian casually left the extravagant mansion and proceeded to the garden, lured by a sunshade that promised relaxation and fresh air, while enjoying a Netflix video on his phone.Before long, Jenna appeared by his side.Caspian’s presence beside him sent a sudden shiver down his spine, distracting him from his focus. Jenna, her breath barely audible, inquired softly, "Caspian, what is the movie's theme and genre?"Caspian's smile gleamed as he faced Jenna, whispering, "There's this dragon film called 'Damsel'—packed with action and adventure. Do you care to watch it with me?"A sardonic smile appeared on Jenna’s lips as she spoke, her voice betraying a hint of strain, "I'm not much of a fan of action flicks, especially the shoot-'em-up kind. I prefer something with a bit more heart and uh, passion. Got any good romance or drama films?""Um, this one's strange. They haven't used any weapons. It's different," Caspian said, trying to persuade Jenna to join him. Noticing her disinterest
Alyne took a deep breath, clearly relieved as she decided not to leave just because Caspian told her to. In a state of panic, she glanced around, looking for a different option. Turning towards Caspian, she leaned in, her voice barely audible as she inquired, "Hey Caspian, can I ask you something? Is Jenna your girlfriend?" Caspian nodded, his brow furrowed in curiosity and confusion. "Why ask that? Is disrespect okay just because you don't knows if she's my girlfriend?" His voice carried a subtle hint of frustration. "Wait, you weren't married, right? And why do both of you have to criticize me? I'm just trying to look good in our own eyes. Honestly, I did bring a long vest. I took it off upon entering, thinking nobody was home except you," Alyne explained, feeling utterly embarrassed. Relief washed over Alyne as she exhaled deeply, retrieving her vest from her bag. Her words held a combination of gentleness and simmering anger. "But you never mentioned having a girlfriend," she s

With precision, Caspian walked into Mr. Blanc's office to claim his annual bonus. "Good afternoon, sir. I've come to collect my annual allowances," Caspian greeted. Mr. Blanc reciprocated, "How are you today?" Caspian responded, "I'm doing well, sir." Mr. Blanc extended an invitation to sit and enjoy a Glenmorangie Signet drink. "Please, take a seat. Would you like something to drink?" As they engaged in conversation, another gentleman entered, and Mr. Blanc handed him an envelope.
