Chapter 20：A Long Night (1/2)

”Where did that idiot go? Ah damn! Why does that man have to wait for her in front of the toilet,”said the blonde haired man. He had been watching Carolina and was about to act when she went to the toilet. But the man who seems to be having his birthday party keeps clinging to her.

”Ah never mind! I better have fun,” he thought, finally giving up. After all, they also wouldn't necessarily get paid if he does his plans tonight.

The man finally returned to the dance floor and began to dance to the beat of the music.

”Where's Carol? Why are you here alone?” asked Dion when Andrew came back to the table, but looking back, Carolina was nowhere to be seen.

”Looks like she was drunk, I took her back to the room but forgot the room was locked, I also left my cellphone,” said Andrew then took his cellphone which was on the table.

Dion just looked at him and started thinking, ”Can people get drunk drinking tequila rose?”

”That's just right! Ra, where is the key to the room?” said Andrew as Clara came over to their table.

”Are you going back? It's not really cool! Still at this hour!” said Clara, shaking her body to the rhythm of the song.

”Carol seems drunk, I want to go back first, see if I gonna back,” said Andrew, who then held out his hand.

”Here! Where is Dion by the way?” Clara asked after handing her the room key. She plans to go back to the dance floor again, but it looks like Andrew is the only one there.

”He is…. Where is he?” asked Andrew, confused. Earlier, Dion was still there with him, but now he suddenly disappeared.

”Anyway, I'll go first! Don't have to wait for me! You are free to order anything! Then it will go into the bill when checking out!” said Andrew who immediately rushed to the hotel room.

”Ahh ... I still want to dance!” said Clara who pursed her lips. At least one person is needed to guard their table so they can avoid things that are not desirable.

”It hurts, On! Let me go!” said Vera when suddenly Dion immediately pulled her out of the dance floor. Dion even dragged him out of the club.

”Let me go!” said Vera who finally managed to release Dion's grip from her hand.

”You are really too much Ve!” said Dion. His breath was panting with anger. He didn't expect Vera to do something like that.

”Look, it is red!” said Vera who saw the wrist that was held by Dion reddened, ”What's wrong with you??” she asked later. She had never seen Dion like this.

”Didn't you put something in Carol's drink? There's no way she could get drunk drinking a shot of tequila rose!” said Dion who went straight to the point.

”What do you mean!” said Vera who was completely confused.

”There is no need for excuses! I know you don't like Carolina, but not like that!”

Vera paused and thought for a moment, shouldn't Dion be the one who should put something in Carolina's drink?

”Isn't that your doing?” asked Vera back.

Dion looked at the woman in disbelief.

What kind of nonsense is that again?

”I see you give something to the bartender!” said Vera finally. When she gave the birthday cake she bought to the club waiter, she saw Dion was talking to the employee there, after entering the club she saw that person again who turned out to be a bartender.

That's why she's been a bit wary of Dion since earlier.

And maybe like her desperate self, Dion also wanted to use another shortcut,

Maybe by getting Carolina drunk and doing something to the woman?

That's what Vera thought when she saw Dion.

”So that's the reason you've been afraid of me?” asked Dion finally. He initially thought Vera was afraid of him because she was afraid that she would be caught doing something, so he was also wary of Vera.

”Of course! I saw you making a suspicious transaction at the club! Who knew you got that bartender to put something in Carol's drink, right? That's why you asked to order tequila rose!” said Vera finally. Said all the forecasts.

”The bartender is my cousin! I did give money to him because his life is not good anymore! Ah, why I should explain this! Anyway, weren't you the one who gave something weird to Carol's drink?” asked Dion again to make sure.

”No! Why would I order the same drink then?” asked Vera back.

Dion was silent then returned to the club.

”Did Andrew give that?” he thought.

After confirming once again to his bartender cousin that there was nothing wrong with his drink, Dion hurried back to the hotel room.

”Huh? Where is she going?” Andrew thought when Carolina wasn't in her place.

”Is she lost, huh? or even kidnapped?” suddenly bad thoughts began to enter Andrew's mind. He tried to stay calm and search all the corridors of the floor, but there was no Carolina at all.

He then remembers that there is CCTV in the corridor, and immediately returns to the receptionist.

”I swear! My friend was kidnapped!” said Andrew when explaining what happened to the receptionist.

The receptionist just smiled politely,” Sorry sir, still you can't ask for the cctv recordings. We can only give it if there is a warrant from the police.”

Andrew was immediately angry when he heard this.

Police?

Good!

You don't know if I'm the son of the Inspector General of Police!
