Celine could see the shocked expression on the young man's face and she released a sigh.
"Could you stop widening your eyes?. This isn't even a poison. Just add it to the champagne I am ordering and have it delivered to the table. Drop your account details at my usual table with my friends. Are we good?".
The bartender appeared hesitant about this. Everyone inside the bar was likely to be wealthy, influential and dangerous. What if the whatever plan would fail? Wouldn't it backfire on him?. But he needed money. This was a once to come opportunity to get whatever money, he wanted.
With a firm decision, he nodded. " I'll do it, ma'am.
"Thank you, dear, please do ensure it is served at the table with no mistake". Celine gave a smile to the young man and then cat walked, back to where the brown-haired man sat.
" I am so sorry for keeping you waiting. I had a drink ordered". Celine said to the man, who had kept checking on his wristwatch.
"Oh, that was not necessary, ma'am".
"Please drop the formality. Call me Celine, at least we are friends now". Celine said, drawing circles on her chest and then crossing her leg.
" Yea". Erebus gave a wide smile that was quick to captivate the woman's heart.
They saw a bar waiter serve two glasses of champagne; first to her and then to Erebus who didn't hesitate in gulping down the content in the glass, which made the joy in the woman's heart have no bounds and the bartender who was watching from the counter, sweaty and nervous.
He was ceaselessly praying and hoping, it doesn't turn out to be poison as she had claimed. He couldn't concentrate. His eyes kept flying over where the duo sat. He knew he would be finished if something would go wrong but he hoped it won't.
After Erebus had taken the whole content in the glass, he gave a smile to the woman who had been watching him and saw her return the smile with a wider one.
Celine kept smiling. Luck was not against her. He heard her bring up a topic and they both got engrossed in the discussion. After some moment, she saw him rub his forehead uncomfortably and then shift on his chair.
Celine was quick to intervene. Giving a concerned look, she dropped her glass. "Is everything okay, Mr Hemlock?". She stood to walk over to his side.
" Ah yes". beads of sweat were already forming on his forehead and he fanned himself. "I feel hot, I need to go_".
"That's okay. Let me help you. You probably drank too much". She offered and saw the man not reject the offer and she was extremely pleased.
And Erebus groaned and the woman's heart skipped. She was mesmerized and her body was quickly controlled by this man. " I need to go to my place".
"I'll help you. You look uncomfortable". Celine said, wiping off the sweat that trickled down his cheek. She saw him instantly pull her closer by the waist and she patted his head when he groaned again.
Her heart was beating so fast out of excitement and she could feel the man's breath on her neck, she suddenly felt wet.
The woman quickly signalled her bodyguard, whose eyes had never left her, to come over. "Hex, phone Hannie and Maggie that I have an unfinished business to attend to and then inform them that I might be back sooner or later. Either back at the lounge or probably the penthouse". Celine saw her bodyguard, give a nod.
" And join me at the car, tell the rest to return to the penthouse but first help us to the car".
The huge bodyguard aided his mistress and the strange man, she had suddenly involved herself with, who wasn't letting her go. His mistress had never gone over to a man's place whenever she wanted to play around. She had ways to make the men comply and then drag them to her place. She was dominant and never took a 'No', as an answer.
"Mr Hemlock? I hope you don't mind having my driver take us to your place?". She asked the man, who held her tightly and was breathing faster. She heard him mumble words which she couldn't make out the meaning of and then she signalled to her guard to get the driver.
" I feel hot and you feel cold". He noted with a hoarse voice and place a kiss on her both cheeks that, stunned the woman and made her blush. She knew her plans always worked.
A Maybach parked in front of them and they saw the driver jog out; coming to where they waited. He saw a strange man pulling his cloth and fanning himself. With a raised brow, he turned to his mistress.
"Is there a problem, ma'am?
"Thomas, you are to drive over to a lodge, I mean to his place".
Thomas was taken aback. She wanted him to drive over to a strange man's place so late at night?. Has she forgotten security protocols after her marriage annulment?.
" But ma'am?_"
"Go in and move that damn car!!!". Celine threw a glare at him, to see him quickly shut his mouth and then turn to move into the car; to the driver's seat.
When Hex had assisted in putting the man into the car, they saw seven men step out of the bar, enter three vehicles, and readying their cars to move out.
And when Thomas had started the ignition, they saw the other vehicles put on their ignition as well and Thomas could deduce they were with this man, along with them.
Inside the car, Thomas adjusted the rear mirror, trying to fix it to a point where he could see what was going on behind him.
He saw the man snuggle closer to his mistress's chest, licking in between her cleavage and he heard her giggle before he turned his eyes away.
He didn't know why he was uncomfortable driving over to this man's place; he felt suspicious around him.
"Thomas are you going to move now or do you need a special invitation?"
"Ma'am, I don't think_".
" One more word and that's it. One more word and you lose your job and that is final".
Thomas made a zipped up gesture over his lips and then started the car. He turned over to the side mirror to see the vehicles in close range with them.
Something bad was about to happen and he felt it. Turning over to his mistress, he saw the man place his face into her cleavage and then not move and he could hear his mistress moan and he looked away.
And when his eyes, moved again to stare at the mirror. He saw the man's lips curl into a sinister smile and the driver's heart skipped a beat.
