Chapter 3

"Are you all right?" Saint asked me when we left the dance floor.

We are now back at our table and I see that Marcus and Caroline are also there with our other friends.

"Hey! Where have you been?" Caroline immediately asked me when she saw us already there.

I took a deep breath before answering him.

"On the dance floor," I answered then turned to Saint.

"I'm alright, Saint. Thank you. Are you alright?" I answered and asked him.

"Yeah of course. I'm worried about you. Are you hurt?" he asked me again.

I took another breath and nodded to him. I sat in the empty seat there while my friends were busy doing what they were doing there. Saint followed me.

"Yeah don't worry about me, Saint. I'm fine. Mike was just drunk that's why he reacted like that," I said then just laughed at the annoyance I felt because of what happened.

"It's obvious that he's really drunk. He might come here and disturb you," said Saint and I could see the concern in his eyes, which is why I shook my head.

"No. He doesn't know where our table is. Also, my friends are already here," I answered then shrugged my shoulders.

I can't blame Saint for being so worried about me. He knows my past because I feel so easy for him. Of all the male friends I've had here in other countries, he's the only one I've opened up about my past to.

Saint didn't stay there too long because he had to go back to his friends. When he left, Caroline immediately approached me.

"You two are sweet! Admit it. Are you and Saint now?" Caroline asked me suspiciously.

I stared at him for a moment and just rolled my eyes because he was starting again. I poured wine into my glass and sat down next to Marcus.

"That guy is really getting into my nerves! How dare him to touch me like that?!" I said that annoyed and didn't even care about the eyes of my friends.

"Huh? Who? Saint?" Caroline asked me one question after another.

"It's probably Mike, right?" Marcus said so I immediately turned to him.

"You saw that?" I asked him.

Marcus smirked and nodded in response to me, which is why I shook my head in annoyance before I finished drinking my wine.

"Wait, what? Mike? What did he do?" Caroline asked and immediately sat next to me to find out what happened.

"He just grabbed my waist and kissed my neck!" I complained then I immediately wiped my neck where Mike kissed me.

"He did that?! Maybe he already misses you. Aren't you-"

"Of course not!" I answered immediately because I knew his question immediately.

I never had sex with the men I dated. My first and my last is was husband and several years have passed since I experienced that. I don't know how many minutes I ranted to them there and they didn't get tired of listening to me until I just shut up because I was feeling sleepy.

"Where's Stella?" I asked when I realized that Stella wasn't at our table yet.

Being busy with rants, I almost forgot that one in particular and the rest of our companions went home as well. I looked at Caroline and the other three girls with me but they were also wasted so I almost fell on my forehead.

"Do you guys bring your car?" I asked them.

"Nope. Stella told us not to bring any more," Kim answered me then shrugged her shoulders.

I shook my head again and looked at Marcus. I know he has a car and I can't just let my drunk friends go.

"I'll be the one to deliver, it's just that we can't all fit in my car," Marcus told me immediately.

I nodded.

"Yeah it's okay. I'm not drunk and it's up to me to find Stella. You can go home guys," I told them.

"Are you sure? Where are you going? Just wait for me and I'll get back to you," Marcus said but I just shook my head.

"I'll take care of it, Marcus. I have a lot of friends here. Have you forgotten?" I laughed at him.

Marcus just nodded and didn't push his anger anymore because he knew he would never win over me. I took them outside because Marcus couldn't take care of all our friends and I just said goodbye before they could leave.

I was going back inside when I saw a man standing not far from me. It's a bit dark there but I can see it. He was wearing black long sleeves and black pants. When he saw me looking at him he dropped his cigarette and stomped on it before looking back at me.

He was familiar to me and I remembered well where I had seen him and met him. My eyes almost widened when I realized who that man was.

"Andrew?" I called him.

I saw his grin and that's why my heart almost skipped a beat. He turned and started walking inside the bar so I hurried to follow him. What the hell is he doing here? Is he with my wife?!

"Andrew!" I called him again as I continued to follow him.

Andrew is my husband's right hand and what I know is that they are very close to each other. He even looks more like his brother than his real brothers. I will never make a mistake because where my husband is, he is also there, so it is not unlikely that that one is also here.

I'm not ready to face that man, but if this is the only chance I have to tell him about my annulment of our marriage, I will.

I don't care about the people I bump into because of following Andrew. I didn't want to lose sight of him and when I caught him at a VIP table I saw that Stella was there.

"Stella?!" I asked in shock and looked at my friend who was fast asleep there.

I looked around the entire table but no one else was there. I looked at Andrew who was just standing there silently. When I was chasing her, I almost forgot that I had to find Stella.

"She's already drunk when I saw her. She came with me because she said she couldn't see you," Andrew explained to me.

I nodded and wanted to get closer to Stella just so I might lose sight of Andrew so I remained standing there and thought about what I should do.

"Don't worry, I'm not gonna leave you guys here. Will someone pick you up? Her boyfriend?" Andrew said then shrugged.

I shook my head because I didn't memorize Stella's car. I can't drive her car well but maybe nothing bad will happen if I try?

"He's the only one with the car but I can handle this," I answered to Andrew then I faced him to start my questioning to him.

"Alright then, I'll take it to your place. You've already been drinking and I'm not gonna let you drive," he answered then immediately approached Stella to pick her up.

I want to appeal but I can't really carry Stella there because she is already asleep.

"What are you doing here?" I immediately asked Andrew.

He just looked at me and grinned for a moment before finally picking up Stella.

"Let's go," he said then started walking, ignoring my question.

They are really the same as his best friend! So far there seems to be no change.

"Are you with Cristiano?" I asked him when we got out of the club.

I felt nervous and my chest heaved even more when Andrew stopped and faced me with a smile, which is why I narrowed my eyes at him.

"Why? Do you miss your husband already?" he asked me suspiciously and teasingly.

"Stop playing with me, Andrew. Are you with him?" I asked again.

He just laughed a little and shook his head before answering me again.

"Sadly no. Just like before, your husband is still busy," he answered me then shrugged his shoulders and turned his back on me to continue walking.

"I know he's always been busy but you can't lie to me. I know you two are here together," I told him one after the other.

He didn't answer me and just continued walking so I just followed him. He also stopped a few moments later in a black car and I saw it light up as soon as he pressed the key.

"Believe it or not, I'm not with Cristiano here. He was left in the Philippines, and why don't you come back and show yourself to him again? My boss already misses you," he continued said to me then laughed again.

I immediately felt annoyed because of the last thing he said and even though I wanted to explode with annoyance tonight, I couldn't because he would be the one to take Stella and me.

"Can you give me your location? So I know where to take you?" he asked when we left the parking lot.

Stella was still sleeping next to me and I almost felt sorry for Andrew because he couldn't see me. I don't know if I should tell him my address because he might tell his boss! I hid for a long time and then he just found out where I was just like that?! Stella and I dropped her off at her house and her brother was still awake when we got there.

"Thanks for driving us," I said to Andrew when it was just the two of us in Stella's living room because her brother had taken her to her room.

"How about you? I'll take you to your place," he said, which is why I immediately shook my head.

"No, thanks. I'm going to spend the night here," I replied to him then I smiled sarcastically at him.

"Let me pay you so you can go," I added as I immediately looked for the wallet in my bag.

"No, no. It's okay. You're my obligation here because the boss might get angry when he finds out that I just left you there," he said to me immediately, which is why I was almost in pain again.

"Correction, I'm not your obligation. I can handle myself," I answered him while raising one eyebrow.

He just laughed and nodded and didn't argue with me anymore. He said goodbye to leave, so I walked him out the door.

"Tell your boss to get ready for the two of us to meet again!" I told him firmly before I closed the door on him completely.

I said to Mitzy that I will spend the night there with them because I am sure they will know where I live. They can't know that because I'm sure they'll mess me up again. It's better for me to mess up with them when I come back to the Philippines.
