UNTIL I MET YOU : CHAPTER 221 – 230
“Do you want it?” he asks as he drinks from his wine.
“I will risk being the highest bidder to dance with you,” he adds.
I blink my eyes and bite my bottom lip. I don’t know what to say.
“Don’t see it the wrong way. I see the chemistry between you two. I can’t come between that.”
“Yeah. I just… I really don’t know what to expect from this type of game, so I’m just gonna pass this one,” I tell him.
“Sure. Don’t roam about. These dudes aren’t really friendly with women. Especially the pretty ones,” he says as he drops his already-drank wine on the platter of a waiter passing by.
“Thanks for that advice. I won’t even dare. These guys don’t even smile. They look weird,” I say, and he chuckles.
“Cage, baby…” a girl says as she walks in. She’s the girl who looks like Sinclair’s wife or maybe mistress.
“Leave me the fuck alone, Sasha,” Cage warns.
“Oh yeah? Because you’ve got a new slut?” she asks as she looks down at me.
New slut? What!
“I’m just gonna leave you guys,” I say and smile at Cage before leaving.
Alexa appears from nowhere as she grabs me by the elbow.
“Are you okay?” I ask her.
“Yeah. I’m just… Ace is just a dick.”
“He’s kinda right, you know. Gray said if you sleep with Reid or have a relationship with Reid, you’re gonna lose your job. You don’t have to seduce Reid. You don’t even want love. You’re just gonna lead him on and make him think you have feelings for him, and that won’t be good.”
“Yeah,” she sighs. “He’s pretty hot, and I can’t control my hormones. I fuckin’ hate them.” She scoffs.
“Then try and control them. Leave Reid alone. You can have sex with other people.”
She rolls her eyes and nods.
A man appears on the podium. He wears a three-piece suit. He holds a glass as he taps his glass with a pen, I think, to attract everyone’s attention. The talkatives stop talking as everyone turns to look at this man.
“Fuck me! It’s not like he wants to say something useful,” Alexa mutters, and I chuckle.
“I personally welcome every single criminal and mobster from around the world. It’s nice to have you all here. Thanks for coming to our mafia ball, which helps to unite and communicate with different mafias around the world. No matter what—the rivals and deaths—we’re still gonna be one. I personally appreciate Gray Carter’s arrival, De Luca, Pablo, Antonio, and many others. Please stay calm as we entertain you all….”
“With what exactly?” I whisper to Alexa.
“Fuckin’ dance. Just watch.”
“We’re gonna start with the hottest lady in the house. If you’re the hottest girl in here, they are gonna start an auction for you. The highest bidder is gonna dance with you, and everyone’s gonna watch it.”
“So what’s the fun there?” I whisper to Alexa.
“No fun at all,” she whispers, and I chuckle.
I turn to look at Gray as he motions for me to come to him. I roll my eyes and excuse Alexa to meet Gray.
“I told you not to wear this,” he mutters.
“No one’s gonna choose me.”
No, I’m kidding. A man stops right in front of him and invites me to go to the podium. Everyone turns to look at me, and I shake my head. I’m not dancing with mobsters who are gonna touch me in the name of dancing.
