"Jace" someone was signalling him to come over.

"Just mingle, I'll be back.Please be nice, and don't cause any trouble. I beg of you, this is really important to me" He said and left.

I thought we would spend the whole night together. Have I ever caused trouble? Why would he say that to me? I removed the thought from my head. There's still time. Feeling confident, I took the opportunity to introduce myself as Jace's wife.

I started to wonder if Scarlet was here.The buisness man chuckled, clearly under the impression that he knew more about my personal life than I did. "Oh, come on Jace. The lady you brought in, Stacy. Isn't she your wife? She has been acting like she owns the place, talking down to everyone. A very rude lady, if I may say. I wonder why she's your wife.I couldn't imagine how anyone could mistake out friendship for something romantic. In fact, Stacy was more like a junior sister to me, and we had even shared
