On the way back, Lizetta was much more chilled out.


    She didn’t just nail the Dories interview, but also spilled the beans about being preggers and that she


    couldn’t bust a move again until after the little one pops out next year.


    Whether or not Dories would y ball was her call, but Lizetta couldn’t live with herself if she kept it


    under


    wraps.


    She also gave Dories a heads up that even if she got the thumbs down, she’d still hit the road to


    Veridia and apply again next year.


    To Lizetta’s amazement, after mulling it over, Dories decided to roll the dice and give her a shot.


    Dories shared that back in her youth, she had a bun in the oven too, but for the love of dance, she


    made the tough call to let it go; it was something she regrets now.


    As the years stacked up, she shifted her perspective. She’s not buying the idea anymore that being a


    top–notch dancer means having to ditch the mommy gig to keep your shape and game strong.


    She’s convinced that a woman’s life experiences can make a dancer shine in a way that’s off the


    charts, and she believed that you’ve got to get life to get dance.


    Lizetta asked Dories to zip her lips about the baby news, and Dories pinky swore.


    Hogan dropped Lizetta back at the hotel, and on the way back, Lizetta called the cops.


    By the time they rocked up, the police were already there, who did the basic paperwork, and scooped


    up the hotel room’s thermos and other stuff for their probe.


    After the cops bounced, Hogan was all kinds of serious.


    “The CCTV’s busted, and the cup’s probably been wiped clean of any clues; Liz, don’t get your hopes


    too


    high.”


    Hogan figured the cops wouldn’t get anywhere fast, seeing as the other side seemed to have all their


    bases covered.


    The time Lizetta was hustling to the airport was plenty for the perp to cover their tracks.


    Lizetta had the same hunch, and not wanting to stress the baby, she downed a ton of water, which


    meant the blood samples would likelye back clean as a whistle.


    And since she was all in one piece and had just knocked out for a bit, she reckoned the cops wouldn’t


    lose any sleep over it.


    But how could–Lizetta let this slide?


    “Liz, how you holding up? Was it that bitch Evelina’s doing?”


    Just then, Ynda came rushing in, all worked up. After hearing the lowdown from Lizetta, she was so


    ticked off that she kicked a chair over.


    “What are the cops even doing, a massive hotel and just like that the cameras are out? It smells fishy


    as hell!


    “Evelina must’ve set the whole thing up before making a move,” Lizetta said with a chuckle.


    “So what now, we just let it go?”


    Lizetta shook her head, and looked at Hogan, “Hogan, can I borrow a few of your guys?


    07:12


    Hogan cracked a pleased smile, “Of course, I was worried you’d be too stubborn to ask for help. Just a


    few guys, huh?”


    An hourter.


    At Rose Club, there was a swanky wine tasting shindig going on.


    In the club’s biggest private room, under the dazzling lights and luxe vibe, a gorgeous pianist in a long


    dress was slowly ying the cello.


    “Tonight’s wine tasting is also to celebrate Evelina’s first solo show sess,” announced Shirley


    Dashiell, with her ss in hand, prompting a wave of congrats.

    Evelina stood up with her ss too, but hers was filled with juice.


    “The real challenge isn’t finding a fine wine, but thepany to share it with. I can’t drink for health


    reasons, but I’m in high spirits just like everyone else tonight.”


    Though she was addressing everyone, her eyes were all soft and gooey on the tall figure not far away.


    Following her gaze, everyone turned to look at Remington in his slick ck suit, looking all noble and


    composed, sipping and chatting with Timothy and Cassius.


    This whole scene was Cassius‘ doing. Remington hadn’t nned on showing up, but Cassius parked


    himself in his office and wouldn’t budge.


    Remington only realized Evelina was there after he arrived, and feeling all eyes on him, he shot Evelina


    a frosty, warning re.


    Evelina’s smile froze on her face, but just as she sat down, someone ventured a guess.


    “Evelina’s been off the booze for a while, could it be?”


    The implication hung in the air, and everyone’s eyes started drifting down towards Evelina’s belly.


    With her head low, she touched her stomach.
