Chereads / TO BE WITH YOU. ( Agent Series #1) / Chapter 19 - The Culprit

Chapter 19 - The Culprit

I'm waiting inside Saphira's condo because we're supposed to go there together, I like it because I love gatherings even before but if she's not with me, I won't go either.

"Change what you're wearing." She said angrily and threw the black dress. "Put that on." She said and returned to the room. She was wearing a red slutty dress.

I winced immediately when I touched the dress, it was so thin! We wear almost the same clothes but this dress is black.

"Wear that! It's better than your black jacket and trousers!" She shouted in the room, maybe she could read now how bad my face was because of the dress.

I enjoy social gatherings, although I favor jeans or other casual attire over dresses. because I occasionally don't feel comfortable.

Even though I battled against it, Saphira is so determined and ultimately compelled me to wear the same thing. I changed thereafter entering her compact dressing room.

She was all set and waiting for me when I emerged.

"Aren't I going to look good here?" I asked while staring at the mirror, it was so close to me that it wouldn't even go beyond my knees!

She arched an eyebrow and asked, "Are you saying I have no sense of style?" She asked, Probably joking. "You're conservative with your complexion girl, that's why no one is flirting with you until now." I just rolled my eyes at her and fixed my messy hair.

We went to a club, and as expected there were a lot of people, we had a hard time getting into the crowd of people on the dance floor, luckily the VIP room was reserved for our batch.

The VIP lounge was the same as before when we entered, but there were fewer people, indicating that it must be a high-class location. We didn't have a hard time finding them especially since their table was not far from where we were standing.

"Too many people are outside!" Saph immediately complained upon arrival. "We had a hard time getting in."

"Anyway, where are the others?" My friend asked. I sat on the couch, I hesitated to sit because I wasn't comfortable in what I was wearing, I was still wearing high heels.

"Sorry, I'm late. Traffic." Noe, who had just arrived and she was wearing a backless dress that made her brunette complexion stand out even more.

"As expected." Charles chuckled. The woman ignored him and focused on us.

"Where's Rin?" She asked, smiling.

"In the restroom," Charles answered again.

"Did I ask you?" There was wavering in his voice again. Charles just shrugged and turned his attention to Gwydion.

"That's how I met my ex." Saph, who was next to me whispered to me, I grinned. Knew what she meant.

"Hey, guys!" Rin greeted us upon arrival. She immediately sat next to Saph and started talking. I can't relate to these two.

The waiter arrived with three vodkas, two soju, one wine, and two gin. It's good that there is no tequila, the last time I drank that was embarrassing.

While the others were drinking from the wine glass, Noe sat next to me. Maybe she had no one to talk to because the two behind us had a small conversation.

"Low tolerance?" She asked suddenly. I nodded and she poured some soju into a wine glass and gave it to me.

"And you?" I asked her too after I drank. I might become addicted to its flavor if I get acclimated to it.

"50/50." She laughed and drank again.

The conversation between the two ended and they sat down to drink, we all cheered for the last time. They and Saph went to the dance floor to dance, she was going to pull me but I didn't budge, the others stayed at the table and just drank wine.

While having fun, I couldn't help but think that we were missing someone. I can only see Gwydion now. Daveon is not here.

I questioned Gwydion, "Where's Daveon?" Despite drinking a lot, I haven't been struck by intoxication.

"He's with someone." He said and looked around, maybe looking for Daveon. "Oh, they're here." He pointed behind me. "Bro, what makes you here?"

"Celebrating." The man behind me said I'm sure that he's not Daveon.

"Ivan! Woah nice attire! Look so handsome tonight!" Praise from Charles who just came from the dance floor.

"As always." The latter was smirking.

I turned to the man Charles called Ivan, I was surprised to see the man, he is the culprit! Before saying goodbye to Kill, he showed me the image of the man in case I could interact with him.

He was wearing glasses when he showed me the photo but that's no reason for me not to recognize him, his eyes are blurry so he must be wearing contact lenses right now.

Killuash is also present, along with Czeslaw, at the opposite table. drinking with some female friends and women who seem oblivious to the presence of the perpetrator.

Really guys...
