Adrian paused, his drink halfway to his lips, his fingers tightening around the glass.
"Adrian?" Hailey's heart sank. She bit her lower lip, her fingers clenching into fists.
Adrian lowered his gaze, and just as he was about to speak, his peripheral vision caught sight of a slender, tall figure standing in the doorway.
Even though the dim light obscured her face.
He recognized her instantly. It was Serena!
She actually came!
A smile deepened in Adrian's eyes, and a slight smirk played on his lips.
He tightened his grip on the glass and chuckled. "Like her? How could I?"
Then, he downed a large mouthful of his drink, grabbed Hailey's chin with his fingers, and leaned in abruptly, transferring the alcohol from his mouth to hers.
"Mmph—" The strong, fragrant liquor made Hailey choke, her eyes turning even redder.
Adrian's lips curved into a deeper smile as his thumb gently wiped away the liquid that spilled from the corner of her mouth. "You know who I like, don't you?"
His ambiguous, yet intensely intimate words, echoed clearly throughout the private room.
Hailey's face flushed beet red.
It was partly from choking on the drink, and partly from the shame of Adrian's bold, possessive act.
"Adrian…" Her voice was so soft and breathy, she looked up at him shyly.
But she saw that Adrian's usually cold eyes held a hint of a casual smile, his gaze drifting vaguely… toward the doorway.

The crude remarks from inside the room carried clearly into the hallway.
