While Liliana was unsure of what to do, Tania took matters into her own hands and went to find Peter. Tania was not the type to just wait around for trouble. Instead of letting Peter come after her for revenge, she figured it was better to go to him first. Peter might have a change of heart and let her off easy if she apologized. Tania did not really think Peter would let her go that easily, but she still believed it was better to do something than nothing at all.That day, with Liliana out of the way, Tania headed out. She had asked around about Peter before, and even though office rumors were not always true, sometimes they had helpful bits of info. When Tania got to The Majestic Lounge, she found a way to slip inside. Normally, The Majestic Lounge was not a place just anyone could walk into. Tania only got in easily and even found Peter's room without trouble because Peter had set it up from the beginning. Tania did not realize how hard it was supposed to be to get into The

Tania had felt uneasy ever since Peter walked in. Even though he had not looked at her once, she felt completely exposed.Peter's eyes were like dark pools, stirring with hidden currents, but he never rested his gaze on Tania. He walked over, casually tossed his coat aside, and sat down, staying perfectly still.Sean squinted and shut the door with a grin, then gave Tania's shoulder a gentle pat. "Tania, there's no need to be scared. Peter's not a tiger. He won't bite."Tania really wanted to give Sean an eye roll at that moment. Why could he not just zip it instead of stirring up trouble?She had thought it would be just Peter or maybe some of his clients or friends around. She had not counted on Sean being such a wild card.As Sean patted her shoulder, he caught a sharp look from someone.Sean pulled his hand back and went to sit by Gerald, laughing. He ran his long fingers over the cards. "Alright, let's get back to the game!"With Sean leading the way, the room buzzed with a

Tania downed two bottles in one go, and the previously quiet room instantly came alive with noise because of her bold action.The young men in the room all turned their attention to her, some even whistling with excitement in their eyes. Tania was not just pretty; she was stunning.She had the kind of beauty that made hearts race the moment she entered a room. Watching her chug liquor like that—with the alcohol dripping from the corners of her mouth down her chin, her neck, and onto her clothes—only made their stares burn hotter.Even Peter's deep and unreadable gaze settled on her. Tania already felt the alcohol hitting her, but as long as Peter did not tell her to stop, she would not.She shook her head, trying to stay lucid. She then let out a soft hiccup and rested her head for a moment. Then, tilting her head back, she went for another bottle.Her boldness even drew a flicker of surprise from Peter's eyes.He chuckled lightly just as the door opened and Lareal walked in.Pe

Tania's face flushed red on the spot, and laughter erupted from the crowd around her. Even Lareal could not help but crack a smile, though Peter acted as if he had not heard anything. He simply tapped his index finger on the table, signaling Sean to continue.Sean raised a brow. Others might not have understood Peter's subtle cue, but Sean certainly did. That look was clearly a warning.He arched a brow, still wearing that ever-present smirk. His charming eyes glinted with amusement, but he did not say anything else. He just looked down, drew a card, and announced, "Flush."Peter narrowed his eyes slightly and cast a glance in Tania's direction. "Still not coming over?"Tania jolted and quickly scampered to stand beside him. "I'm here, Mr. Lennon!"Peter did not even look at her. Sean had won that round, and the next game began. Tania stood there, unsure of Peter's intentions. She just stayed put and quietly watched them play cards.Peter's luck seemed to soar the moment Tania st

"Don't know?" Peter repeated the words she had just said, then suddenly pulled Tania up.She stumbled right into his warm chest, and before she could react, she found herself lifted up. In just a flash, she was seated on the poker table and spun around so that she was sitting atop it while Peter stood before her.He looked down at her from above. Those deep, unreadable eyes carried something Tania could not quite understand. Her instincts told her to run, but Peter had her cornered.His hands pressed down on either side of her, trapping her in place. He raised one leg to part her knees, stepping between them. That smile on his lips made Tania's heart pound nervously. "You…" She swallowed hard, her head spinning even more.She was still young but not clueless. They had taught biology in school. She knew what that kind of posture and proximity meant. Tania inhaled sharply, unable to understand why someone like Peter—who could have any woman he wanted—would choose her and in such a
