The smile on Natasha's face remained, and she looked innocent and lovely. "I pleaded with my family for a long time before I was allowed to come over and have fun at this party Kashton prepared for Carlos, to celebrate his last bachelor night. I've never been to a nightclub before, so I'm feeling a bit out of place," she explained sweetly. Then, she asked, "Do you want to go to Carlos' private room? I'll take you there."
"It's okay, my friends are waiting for me. I just came out to get some fresh air." Considering Kashton was there, Carlos must be there. They had their own bachelorette party, so she didn't want to interrupt each other's festivities.
"Well, I'll go in first. I'll leave after a short while anyway," Natasha said sweetly, pushing her wheelchair away.
Mikayla turned to watch Natasha leave, looking at her delicate and fragile appearance. Ever since the first time Mikayla saw her, there had always been a sweet smile on her face. Anyone who looked at her felt a desire to protect her. In this noisy and chaotic world, she seemed like a clear spring that drew people's affection. However, nobody knew if she was truly as innocent as she appeared to others.
After a while, Mikayla began to sober up. Heading to her original destination, she went to the restroom. After wandering outside for a while, assuming Kashton had left, Mikayla made her way back to the private room. It was true that drunk people would feel much more sober after walking a few laps.

The door of the private room was pushed open, and Juliet thought it was Mikayla or Xavier who returned. However, it turned out to be Elvis!
Juliet was so angry. She cursed inwardly, 'Damn, Kashton's the only person who would meddle with others' relationships. He's so fucking blind to think that Elvis and I would be a great match.'
"Kashton, you were looking for me?" Elvis pushed open the door of the private room and walked in, only to see Juliet alone.
Juliet was speechless. She highly doubted that Elvis' IQ was only that of a three-year-old. How could he believe what Kashton said? "I wasn't looking for you!" Juliet sat on the couch with her legs crossed and said in a bad temper.
"Okay!" Hearing her words, Elvis turned around and left.
"Hey, you're really leaving?" Juliet didn't know whether she was considered servile or not. She could be regarded as a beauty, but always being ignored by men made her begin to doubt whether there was something wrong with her.
Elvis stopped, hesitated, and turned around. "What's the matter?"
In her high heels, Juliet marched angrily toward Elvis at the door. "Can you persuade your buddy to stop trying to be a matchmaker?" Seeing that Elvis didn't understand, Juliet rephrased her words again. "Your good buddy, Kashton! He just told me a bunch of nice things about you, asking me to be with you. However, I already have a boyfriend, and I've loved him for many years!"
"Hmm, I see." Elvis looked at Juliet condescendingly as he finally understood what she meant.
"I'm glad you understand." Seeing that Brantley had finally accepted her and there was further progress, she didn't want Kashton to mess things up.
*****
Mikayla opened the door and saw Elvis and Juliet standing together, and they were very close to each other. Mikayla couldn't believe her eyes. She blinked and suspected that she was still drunk. But after a few more glances, it was still the same. "What are you guys doing?"
