The sky darkened, and neon lights lit up the whole city. The bustle of the bar had just begun.
Wilson stopped at the door with Tina.
As soon as they entered the door, they heard deafening music and saw colorful lights. Dancing men and women were everywhere on the huge dance floor, twisting their bodies.
There were people coming from all directions. Wilson frowned and held Tina in his arms, not letting anyone touch her.
They walked all the way into the bar.
There was a hubbub of voices, and Tina was trying to look for Malee.
Wilson pointed to a place. "Tina, your friend seems to be there!"
Hearing that, Tina saw Malee sitting in front of an oval bar counter, her head resting on an arm. Her cheeks were as red as rouge, and her eyes were blurred. However, she was still staring at the colorful wine glasses in front of her.
She was still wearing the same outfit she wore during the day, which was different from other cool and sexy women.
It seemed that she had come here instead of going home.
This was also the reason why the bartender called Tina out of kindness. Malee came in when there weren't many customers at the start of the business. If she continued to stay like this, it would be easy to be taken away by someone else.
Tina saw that there seemed to be men with bad intentions trying to get close to her.
Tina quickly pulled Wilson over.
Someone was one step ahead of them.
Before Tina and Wilson could reach the bar, a tall and straight figure, as tall as Wilson, suddenly appeared beside Malee. The shadow shrouded her and blocked all the greedy eyes.
When others saw this, they shrugged and left.
After Tina saw the other party clearly, she asked in surprise, "Mr. Chiang?"
Wilson nodded. "Yes, it's Hayden!"
Hayden was wearing a black windbreaker, revealing a black suit inside. He looked like that he had endured the hardship of a long journey.
Tina and Wilson looked at each other and hurried over.
Hayden nodded without surprise when he saw the two of them. "Wilson, Miss Hall, you're here too!"
Tina nodded and explained, "Yes, I also received a call from the bartender. He said that Malee drank too much, so I hurried over..."
Then, she asked with concern, "Is Malee all right?"
Malee was so drunk that she was like a puddle of mud. Her eyes were blurred and she was unconscious. She just wanted to drink and struggle to touch her glass.
Hayden raised his hand and snatched it away. He frowned and asked, "Do you know what's wrong with her? She drank so much wine!"
"I'm not sure!" Tina shook her head. After a pause, she continued, "But maybe it's because the newspaper she saw during the day. There's news about you and a mixed- race beauty, saying that you're getting married..."
After she finished speaking, she stared fixedly at Hayden, wanting to see his expression.
Hayden raised his eyebrows, and a lazy smile appeared in his particularly amber-colored eyes.
There was a hint of joy in his voice. "Is that so?"
It was as if he was overjoyed to learn that Malee had gone to the bar to get drunk for his sake, and his facial features softened.
He seemed to want to get Malee's attention.
Hayden bent down and tidied up all of Malee's hair. Then, he stretched out his hands and easily carried her off the high-heeled chair.
Tina didn't stop him and left with them.
Outside the bar, it was very quiet, seeming to be a different world.
Malee closed her eyes and didn't struggle, as if Hayden's deep embrace gave her a sense of security. Although she wasn't conscious, she was at ease.
