A Night with Mr. Stranger
Secretary.
An hour later, the party was in full swing. Nico had cut his cake, and the room was filled with people's laughter and music from the DJ. Some of Nico's guests were moving about with a plate of their own portion of the cake, while others were holding a glass of alcohol in their hands.
I sat at the bar, nursing a glass of scotch, not too strong, just enough to take the edge off.
Several women had tried to catch my attention, with their gazes lingering on me, and their smiles were so flirtatious. But I wasn’t interested. I found my eyes drifting toward the dance floor instead.
