Chapter 46 What Happened In The Private Room (Part Two)

"Didn't you hear what I just said? I'm not worried. I'm angry," Spencer finally said after a long pause.

Before Terence could say anything else, he noticed that Fiona had walked away from the dance floor. "Don't worry about her. She's fine. I'm going to talk to her."

"I want to talk to her! Tell her to answer my call!"

Spencer snarled at Terence just as the latter hung up on him.

The line instantly went dead. "Damn it!"

Fiona merely followed Sophia's example on the dance floor, but she couldn't help but admit that she had a great time. It was the most fun she'd had in years! She caught her breath after moving away from the crowd and went straight to the restroom.

"Where are you going?" Leona asked when she saw Fiona.

"I need to use the restroom. Can you hold my handbag for me?" Fiona asked.

"Okay." Leona nodded before turning to look at Ryan. He was walking towards them, following Fiona wherever she went. She stared at his glass, her palms wet.

Ryan was about to walk towards Fiona when Leona pulled him aside. "Do you want to follow her all the way to the restroom?"

"No, I'm keeping my distance, but I need to check on her." There was a faint smile on Ryan's face. "I can't let her out of my sight. It's too crowded in here."

"Ryan..." Leona tugged at his sleeve. "Do you like Fiona that much?"

Ryan was initially startled, but he eventually nodded without hesitation. "Yes. Why do you ask?"

"Because I like you. Did you know that?" Leona burst into tears. "I fell in love with you since the day you saved me on the road. I know I'm not good enough for you, but I don't want to miss out on confessing my feelings. No one's ever been nice to me. You were the first one."

Shocked, Ryan could only stammer, "I... That was a real emergency. I would've saved anyone under those circumstances. You don't have to... It was human instinct. I'm sorry, I can't return your feelings."

Tears streamed down Leona's face as she said, "I could've guessed that would be your reply." After saying as much, she grabbed Ryan's glass of wine from the table and raised it to drink.

"Leona!" Ryan grabbed the glass from her hands. "No! This drink is too strong for girls. Leona, you are a kind and lovely woman. Many men would fall head over heels in love with you. It's just that I... I'm sorry..."

Leona only shook her head and cried as she tried to take back the drink from Ryan. "This is my first and last confession. Give me the drink, Ryan! If I get drunk, I won't remember what I just said!"

It saddened Ryan to hear this from Leona.

soon as possible. We wouldn't be able to get back in the dormitory once it's closed! I can't reach them via phone."

"Let's look for them together!" Ella said.

Terence thought about stepping in to help but worried that Fiona didn't want her friends to know about him. Luckily, Gary passed by just then. He grabbed him by the arm and whispered, "Gary, help them!"

"Leave it to me."

Gary nodded his head and approached the group. "Hello, everyone. I'm the bar owner. It seems to me that you have a problem in your hands. Can I do anything to help?"

"Hello!" Sophia blurted. "We're looking for someone! A man and a woman came with us, but we can't find them now. Is there a surveillance video we can check? We want to know if they left the bar."

Gary looked at Fiona and seemed to have remembered something. He replied, "No need to check the video. I know where they are. The man you came with seemed to have drunk too much. A woman helped him into a private room."

"Can you take us to them?" Sam asked anxiously.

Gary nodded his head and walked them past the booths.

"Here we are." Gary stopped in front of the door to a private room. "Have a look inside!"

"Thank you!" Sophia quickly said before pushing the door open. "Ryan? Why did you...?"

"Ryan... Damn it!" Sam pushed past Sophia and couldn't help but curse when he saw what was happening in the room.

"What's wrong?" Ella followed them. "Ugh, my eyes!"

Fiona was the last to step inside and what she saw sent a shiver down her spine. Illuminated only by the dim light, Ryan was fast asleep on the sofa with Leona beside him. She was wrapped in her clothes but her legs were clearly exposed. It wasn't hard to tell what they had done.
