Chapter 72 - a package deal. (2/2)
”Yes. Nothing can go wrong, you have me, and Tale.”
Did she have him? ”What about Su Yan?”
”Well Su Yan and Tale are now a package deal.”
Precious smiled as she raised her glass to his. ”Well then, to a night of forgetting our worries and just, living.”
”I'd drink to that.” Woo Jin replied as their glasses clinked.
…
”Sweetheart I'd be right back.” Su Yan had sighted the right hand man to the minister of works and development walk in and was headed to the VIP lounge of the club. He needed to talk to the man about plans on Lagos. They had sent him an email concerning it the day before and he held off replying.
”Sure.” She replied absent mindedly as her eyes were focused on the people on the dance floor.
”I won't be long OK.”
”OK.” She gave him a smile before he left.
A waiter brought a second and third round of drinks Su Yan had ordered and in a moment of curiosity she turned his into hers and drank.
The taste didn't agree with her but she continued to drink it slowly.
Tale thought of how her bosses' would have a back flip if they ever got to see her now, looking the way she did. But that wasn't to be her problem tonight. She stood up, drinking the last content of her glass and walked to the dance floor, a boy probably same age as her extended a hand to her, urging her to the center of the crowd, she obliged. Maybe it was the drink. She agreed it was and let herself go.
Precious and Woo Jin who just got on the dance floor sighted her as the guy she was now dancing with was going to places he shouldn't. Tale slapped his hand before they got to her as she changed her position and faced him smiling.
”Tale?”
”Hey Precious, Woo Jin! Dance with me!” she screamed over the music.
She was getting drunk.
Precious took over as she gave the boy a gentle shove. Thank God Su Yan wasn't here to see him, he would have lost his hand for sure.
Woo Jin smiled as he gave them some space.
…
He was only gone for ten minutes. Su Yan walked to the booth he had left her in to find it empty. People on the dance floor cheered on for someone he couldn't see from where he stood.
He circled round to find Woo Jin.
”I can't find Tale!”
