Chapter 766 Actually Him (Part One)

Dressed in a sapphire blue dress, Alice walked into the restaurant holding a black handbag.

She looked around first before making her way to Violet while exclaiming,"Wow, it looks like someone

booked the whole restaurant!"

"What a smart girl! It's a treat from a generous gentleman." Tim replied before Violet did, moving closer

to Alice.

Violet opened her mouth to say something but hesitated and eventually decided to remain quiet. 'I'd

better give Alice and Tim more chances to talk.' she thought.

"Isn't this Greg's treat?" Alice asked as she took a seat. Staring at Greg, she said jokingly,"Did you get

a salary raise? When you squander money like this, aren't you worried that Violet would scold you for

wasting money?"

"That's not your concern, Miss Alice. Besides, some rich guy paid for this, not me." Greg replied, as he

looked over at Tim and winked.

"Who? Is there another wealthy man here other than you?" Alice asked, now curious. 'Whom is he

referring to?' she wondered.

"The one sitting beside you!" Greg replied with a wry smile, still leering at Tim.

Greg's being a loudmouth annoyed Tim. He wanted to jump on his friend and kill him. But that was just

in his mind. In front of Alice, he tried to look every inch like a gentleman.

"Tim? He paid for all of this?" Alice responded, amazed.

"Yes, this is his treat!" Violet answered, smiling.

"I'm a little surprised," Alice returned in a casual tone,"Whatever. Let's enjoy the meal."

Tim's broad smile vanished instantly. 'Is that all? Come on!' he thought, looking disappointed. Alice's

respond was a little calmer than he had anticipated. He thought she would at least be impressed and

feel obliged to him.

At a night club, everyone inside moved their bodies crazily to the rhythm of the music, jumping, gyrating

and swaying in the middle of the dance floor. They were immersed in the heat of the sexy atmosphere.

The DJ's set was good and almost controlled the crowd with every beat.

Tina stepped into the club in a black, leather mini skirt. Looking around, she couldn't find the person

she wanted to see. She was at a loss. 'Where is this Mr. Mike?' she wondered.

"Excuse me, are you Miss Tina?" a waitress approached and asked Tina.

"Yes, I am." Tina replied. 'I'm not a frequent visitor here. How did she know me?' she wondered.

"Hello, Miss Tina. Mr. Mike asked me to take you to him. This way, please," she said politely, gesturing

for Tina to follow her.

The waitress walked ahead to lead the way. Tina had little time to think and decided to follow her.

When they came to a VIP room at the far corner of the club, the waitress showed her in and said

courteously,"Here we are, Miss Tina. Mr. Mike will be here soon. Please make yourself comfortable

inside while waiting for Mr. Mike. We prepared the drinks for you. Enjoy!"

The waitress then turned around and left.

Tina entered the room, looking around. 'This place looks nice. I can come here with my friends next

time, ' she thought with delight.

She took a seat, tapping on the lounge chair idly. Although sounding muffled, she could still feel the

heavy bass sound of the music from outside. Fifteen minutes had passed, but there was no sign of

Mike. No one came to check on her either.

Suddenly, Tina's phone rang. Tina took her phone out of her handbag and saw that it was her mother

calling.

"Hello, Mom," Tina answered.

"Where are you, Tina? When will you come home?" Carol asked in a concerned tone.

"Mom, I told you already. A man called this afternoon and he is going to buy my painting. Now I'm

waiting for him. When we agree on the price, I will be back immediately. Don't worry about me," Tina

replied.

"I have a bad vibe about everything, as if something bad is going to happen. Your brother is home, but

you're outside. So I'm a little worried about you," Carol said.

"There is no need to worry, Mom. I'll see you at home soon. You and Roger don't go to bed early

tonight. When I come back, we can have some late night snacks together," Tina reassured her mother.

"Okay fine. But do take extra care while you're out. See you later," Carol said.

"I will! See you, Mom," Tina responded and then turned the phone off.

Half an hour had passed, but Mike still didn't show up. Tina was running out of patience. 'Because he

appreciates my art work, I don't mind waiting for him a little longer. Besides, I don't have other

appointments tonight, '' she mused.

Tina caught a glimpse of a bottle of wine on the table. 'No one else has come and it is provided by the

bar. I guess it's okay to drink it, ' she thought. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

She picked up the glass of wine and took a sip.

Ten minutes later, Tina felt a surge of heat run through her body, and her face turned as red as if she

had a fever. 'Perhaps I feel hot because the heater is on, ' she guessed. So she took off her coat and

kept waiting.

Within minutes, Tina felt dizzy. She tried to grab a hold of the sofa as she fell unconscious, falling face

down on the soft cushion.

At that exact same time, Cassie was in a room next to Tina's, watching the surveillance monitor,

recording what was happening next door. Her mouth twisted in a scornful sneer. 'This woman is such a

fool. I thought that she wouldn't be tricked so easily. It looks like I overestimated her, ' she thought, a

hideous expression written on her pretty face.

Cassie got up, left the room and went straight to the VIP room where Tina was knocked out cold.

Cassie pushed the door and entered the room, followed by two tall men.

"What's your plan?" asked the man who was standing near Cassie.

"Strip off her clothes," Cassie commanded, her eyes kindling with anger and contempt. 'Now you are

going to pay for what you did to me, Tina. Let's see how the world is going to react to this. So you

never ever thought that you would one day be my prisoner? Now you will know the meaning of the

word, shame, ' she snickered inside.

The two men moved over to the unconscious Tina. One took a seat beside her and helped her up. The

other stood in front of Tina and took off her clothes one by one and dropped them on the sofa. After five

minutes, the two men came back to Cassie. Tina was still unconscious, with no idea what was being

done to her.

Looking at the naked Tina, Cassie gave a wicked and satisfied smile. She took out her phone, pointed

it at her rival and took several pictures.

With a content smile on her face, Cassie said,"Well, I'm done here. I will leave this woman to you

guys."
