The expression on his face was so horrifying that it sent shivers down Melissa’s spine, rendering her legs weak.
Without even a chance to don her clothes, Melissa hastily scrambled out.
As soon as Melissa managed to escape, Jemma delivered a swift kick to her. “You fool, do you honestly believe that man would whisk you away just because he glanced at you?”
Kneeling on the floor, Melissa trembled and replied, “Jemma, I never entertain that idea.”
“Humph! You’ve tried and now you give up!” Jemma extracted a bundle of bills and flung them onto Melissa’s face. “If you can’t cover tonight’s losses, I won’t let you off the hook!”
Confronted with the staggering amount, Melissa was so terrified that tears streamed down her face. She kept bowing in supplication. “Jemma, I realize my mistake! Please, show some mercy!”
Melissa knew she couldn’t possibly afford such a sum.
“You brought this upon yourself! Don’t overestimate your worth. We only require you to entertain the guests with drinks. Yet you dare to reach for the stars!” Jemma scoffed. “Can someone like you really expect a meteoric rise?”
If Melissa hadn’t made such a colossal blunder and aspired to reach great heights, how could she have incurred such a substantial loss?
In their line of work, they couldn’t afford to cross the high rollers. Even if Jarrod conducted himself in such a manner, they had to maintain a facade of obsequiousness.
Observing Melissa’s innocent countenance, Jemma sneered, “If you follow him, you’ll be even more wretched than you are here.”
Why would a man accustomed to resting beside lifeless bodies every day be swayed by an inconsequential, impoverished extra?
Melissa was forcibly escorted away by the security personnel.

It was the late hours of the night when Jarrod emerged from the club.
His steps were unsteady, and he swayed, navigating the world in a daze.
Leaning against his car, Jarrod ignited a cigarette and dialed Alec’s number. “Come get me.” He needed to return home and be with Nicole.
After ending the call, he glanced up at the sky. The moon hung round and luminous, much Like the night when Nicole had departed.
Then, out of nowhere, something happened.
A slender silhouette appeared and slipped into the blue luxury car parked by the entrance.
Jarrod’s tall, statuesque frame tensed, and the cigarette between his lips plummeted. That face. That face!
Jarrod lunged forward like a cheetah in the obscurity of the night.
The blue luxury car roared to life and sped away, with Jarrod in hot pursuit.
Jarrod was far from sober. If he were, he might have noticed that the car wasn’t racing away, almost as if it were teasing him.
