She didn't smoke, but sometimes, in a bid to fit in with the crowd, she'd take a drag of the ladies' cigarette at the occasional party.
Aurelia stirred her cocktail when Leah's voice suddenly came through her discreet earpiece, "Aurelia, Megan's here. She's in disguise, wearing a brown wig and black-rimmed glasses."
She immediately scanned the room and quickly spotted a woman at the bar fitting the description.
She was sipping on a juice, engaging in some conversation with the bartender.
Aurelia took a small sip of her drink, and mused, "It's a shame the bartender isn't some handsome hunk."
Jimmy chuckled, "That's our boss, Kerry. Everyone loves her mixology skills."
"OK." Aurelia's eyes darkened slightly, rising to feign surprise, "Look over there, is that Jennifer, the wife of Eric, the hotshot boss of Astral Enterprises? I remember she has brown hair and always wears black-rimmed glasses. Who would have thought she sneaked into Elysium, too."
"She does look like her," Yuna stroked her chin, a mischievous grin on her face, "I heard Eric has a mistress and a love child. Poor Jennifer must be lonely."
Aurelia scoffed, "Men are all scoundrels."
Waving her fist in the air, Yuna declared, "They can't be spoiled, a good smack will put them in their place."
Jimmy gulped, looking at Yuna's towering figure. She was unmistakably a force to be reckoned with.
"Actually, you must be mistaken. That's Eva, a friend of Kerry's. She comes here every Saturday."
Aurelia clucked her tongue, "Oh my god, she looks so much like Jennifer."
She originally thought to take a seat at the bar but didn't want to raise suspicion and scare off her prey. It was her first time here, so she would scope out the scene first.
Megan didn't stay long before she left.
Jimmy unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his muscular physique, "We have private rooms upstairs, care to join?"
Aurelia exchanged glances with Jelena and Yuna.
