As Nancy walked out of the room, someone immediately ran up to her. It was Amanda. When she spotted her, she immediately hugged Nancy. "Shit! Are you all right?"
Nancy's face was pale and colorless. She shook her head, trembling. "I'm fine. Just remind Mr. Austin to pay attention. I feel like something's bad going to happen to Sharon."
Amanda nodded in agreement. "Don't worry. I've already informed him. How about you? What the hell did they do to you?" Tears ran down her face, overwhelmed at the sight of Nancy.
She forced a smile into her pale lips. "Don't worry, Amanda. I'm fine, see?"
"How can you say everything's fine? Can't you even see yourself?" she snapped, not even bothering to listen to Nancy's comforts.
Nancy smiled, but when she was about to say something, she was quickly interrupted by a male voice --- "Miss Nancy". She didn't even bother to look back, fully knowing that he was the bodyguard called Jacob.
She clenched her fists, stunned.
Nancy's eyes were as bright as crystals as they blurred with tears. "Take me back to the lounge first, Amanda, please." She staggered over to Amanda, as if her strength had been drained within seconds.
It took them a while for Amanda to take Nancy back to the lounge. Not far away from them, Jacob stared curiously at Nancy's retreating figure. 'Isn't she supposed to be dead?'
The box's door was closed yet again, and Sharon was already approaching the sofa where they sat on. With her mask and slender figure, she created a very tempting and ambiguous atmosphere.
Every move and every step she made captured all the men in the room. She raised her soft hand, showing her thinly shaped fingers. Sharon quickly poured a few glasses of wine, noticing how William was staring at her intently. She raised a glass to him. "Mr. William, why don't we toast to you?" William clinked his glass with hers with a smile.
'As long as she could drink with me, I could die here and now,' he thought.
"It's a great honor to drink with you, Mr. William." Her smile was soft.
William and Wade were ecstatic to have her here. They had drunk several glasses, and Sharon entertained them with flirtatious winks and haughty movements. However, just when Wade reached out to grab her waist, she avoided him. "I'm only here to drink with you, Mr. Wade," she warned.
"I'll make a toast to you once more then!" Wade lowered his arm disappointedly.
Sharon wasn't shy at all. Instead, she downed one more glass of wine in one gulp, pouring herself another. However, her eyes fell on the man in the corner. "Mr. William, I remember that Nancy offended your guest. May I offer a toast to him and apologize for her?"
She had been working around the entertainment for years, so she knew that the man was the decision maker in this room. If it wasn't for him, Nancy wouldn't have been beaten like that. He must've been behind this.
'If that's true, I will settle all these grudges, one by one,' she thought.
William fell silent, glancing at the man hesitantly. While they were all drinking happily, he neither joined them or said anything. With an indifferent face, he just tilted his head.
