Chapter 210


    Roxanne was worried about leaving Archie and Benny at home, but Madilyn assured her that she had


    informed Lysa beforehand.


    Soon, bothdies were standing outside the entrance of a bar, and Roxanne followed Madilyn


    impetuously


    Madilyn was clearly a regr at the bar. As soon as they stepped in, an employee immediately greeted


    them and led them to a booth near the dance floor.


    Pulsating music red as well–dressed men and women gyrated on the dance floor. Roxanne found


    herself slowly letting loose in the electric atmosphere.


    “Drinks are on me tonight. Let‘s drink our fill!” Madilyn yelled in her ear.


    Then, she ordered a bottle of alcohol worth ten thousand and poured a ss for Roxanne. “There are


    plenty more fishes in the sea. Let‘s not get hung up on one!”


    Roxanne epted the ss and clinked it with Madilyn‘s, tossing back her drink in one gulp.


    Madilyn cracked a satisfied smile at Roxanne‘s bold attitude.


    She had drunk with Roxanne a few times when they were in university. Though Roxanne may look


    well–behaved, she could surely hold her liquor very well.


    Madilyn had mentally prepared herself to throw in her lot with Roxanne tonight just to lift her spirits.


    Roxanne downed a few more sses, and she started to loosen up, putting the day‘s problems on the


    back burner.


    Madilyn wasn‘t contented with only drinking, so she mmed her ss down on the table and seized


    Roxanne‘s hand. “Let‘s dance!”


    Then, she dragged her to the dance floor without waiting for a response.


    Their decision toe to a bar was a hasty one, so their outfits weren‘t exactly appropriate while the


    women around them were dressed scantily.


    However, their beautiful faces still attracted the gaze of other patrons.

    Roxanne was wearing a long dress that reached her knees, baring her pale calves as she moved


    rhythmically to the music under the strobing lights. A hint of a smile pulled at her lips, and her eyes


    were downcast. Her body movements were erratic yet oddly mesmerizing.


    Madilyn, on the other hand, was surveying the crowd as she danced, hoping to find a man better than


    Lucian for her best friend. Nheless, she was pushed to the middle of the dance floor in her


    engrossment and lost sight of Roxanne when she looked back.


    Her expression froze, and she stopped dancing and checking out on men, frantically searching for


    Roxanne in the press of bodies on the dance floor.


    “Are you looking for someone, beautiful?” a man asked flirtatiously.


    “Get out of my way! I‘m in the middle of a crisis.” She didn‘t even spare him a nce.


    Meanwhile, Roxanne immediately realized Madilyn was getting swallowed up by the crowd and called


    out her name twice, but her voice was drowned out by the deafening music, and she could only watch


    as her best friend disappeared before her eyes.


    She wanted to go after Madilyn, but her gaze was riveted upon a couple kissing passionately, and she


    halted in her tracks.


    She turned and went to their booth after a pause, figuring Madilyn would make her way back here once


    she realized they had been separated.


    She wasn‘t keen on clubbing, to begin with, so it was a wee respite for her.


    A cheery voice spoke beside her a few minutester. “Hello, can I buy you a drink, if you don‘t mind?”


    The male voice was muffled by the cacophony of the bar, and Roxanne thought she had misheard him


    when she raised her gaze. Surprised crossed her face when she saw a polished man dressed in a


    casual shirt standing in front of her.


    He was also taken aback when their eyes connected. Knowing she didn‘t quite catch what he said, he


    leaned in closer to repeat himself a little louder, “Can I buy you a drink? You‘re very beautiful and


    elegant. I wish to befriend you if that‘s possible.”
