“The charity event is about to start. How about we move closer?” Madam Lene said as she stood up from her seat. She looked back briefly to see if Nolan had followed her, and when he did, she smiled a little and led the way through the crowd. The noise on the rooftop had reduced as people began to find their seats. She picked one of the chairs way back from the stage and sat down beside Nolan.“I should have told you what this party is really all about,” Madam Lene said quietly, moving closer to him so only he could hear. “To outsiders, it looks like just a normal fancy gathering but it’s more than that. This is an event where all the elites come together to donate money to non-governmental organizations, private groups, struggling businesses, orphanages, the less privileged, and so on.” She paused, then gave a short dry laugh. “But in the real sense, they’re just here to show off their wealth.”“Hm…” Nolan mumbled, looking around at the people who were also taking their seats. The wom

"You don’t have to worry about the person. He’s not someone I should even be worried about, and honestly, he is nothing to me!" Fred said quickly, shaking his head. "Let’s just forget about him and have fun at this party, okay?" he added as he leaned closer and planted a kiss on Claire’s mouth, forcing a smile even though he was still upset that his moment with "Alright then, let’s have fun," Claire replied softly, giggling as she brushed her fingers against his chest. "How is this place so far? Are you glad that I invited you?" Fred asked, trying to change the topic while wrapping an arm around her waist. "You know it isn’t easy for just anyone to be able to get here, and I hope you’re grateful that I could help you get an invite," he said, grinning as if he had done something huge for her."Of course, I know just anyone can’t get inside here, and even my friends are very jealous about me right now," Claire said proudly, her face lighting up as she looked around. "Thank you so muc

Fred looked at Nolan from head to toe, his eyes slowly dragging over him like he was trying to size him up, trying to figure out what kind of person he was dealing with. He had never seen Nolan before, not at any parties, events, or even small private gatherings which to him was already strange. That could only mean one thing and that was that Nolan wasn’t part of the elite circle. And by the way he was dressed, there wasn’t really anything that screamed wealth about him.“For you to say this place isn’t too bad,” Fred finally said, still staring at him, “it means it’s not up to your taste or your standard, right?” His tone was rude but covered in a fake smile that didn’t reach his eyes.Nolan was taken aback by the way Fred spoke to him and even more confused about why he suddenly decided to join the conversation. He just looked at him, wondering what his problem was or why he sounded so bothered.Madam Lene, sensing the tension between both men, laughed awkwardly. “Oh, come on, Fred

Madam Lene smiled again, shaking her head slowly but still holding his gaze. Fred’s lips curved even more as he bit his bottom lip lightly, still smiling, staring at her and was already imagining things. The way she looked back at him only made him want to keep talking, keep pushing the conversation a little further, just to see how far she’d let it go.He moved closer to her. “You know, I wasn’t even planning to stay this long at the party, but now I think I might. You don’t meet someone like you every day.”Madam Lene laughed lightly, brushing her hair back, clearly flattered. “You really do know what to say, don’t you?”Fred smirked. “Maybe. Or maybe I just say what I mean.”He held her gaze again, smiling wider this time, like he knew exactly what he was doing. He enjoyed moments like this, teasing and charming women with his words and looks, pretending like he wasn’t already in a relationship. “How about I become your date for the night?” Fred asked, with that confident smirk o

Claire called the third time and the fourth but Fred still didnt pick and her patience was wearing thin. She looked at her phone screen again, rolled her eyes, and dialed his number for the fifth time, muttering under her breath, “He better pick this time.”Finally, on the fifth ring, Fred answered the call but his tone wasn’t what she was expecting.“Why do you keep calling and disturbing me?” Fred snapped harshly the moment he picked up. His voice was so loud that Claire instinctively pulled the phone slightly away from her ear.“Oh, sorry about that,” Claire said quickly, her voice going soft. She didn’t mean to annoy him, but his sudden anger made her nervous. “I didn’t mean to disturb you.”Fred hissed into the phone, clearly irritated. Claire felt her heart drop a bit because she had just wanted to sound sweet and let him know she was waiting, but instead, he was scolding her.“I just wanted to let you know that I’m at the party already and I’ve been waiting for you,” she said c

Unknown to Nolan, just before he went to get Claire the food she asked for, she had already done something that was about to spread fast. While he was still walking away, Claire had taken a picture of him and posted it straight to her socials. The picture was a clear shot of Nolan holding the wet cloth from earlier, and she made sure to add a dramatic caption under it just to get attention.Her caption said, “I met the unfamous Nolan at a rooftop party! What a surprise!” She even added a laughing emoji and tagged almost all her friends and a few of their old high school classmates. It didn’t take long before the post started getting views and comments.And because Ginny was one of Claire’s friends online, she saw the picture almost immediately. The moment she saw itt, she froze for a second, staring in disbelief at what she was seeing.“Wait…what?” she muttered to herself before quickly hurrying off to find Dora and Savannah, almost tripping over someone’s chair as she rushed toward
