"Where are all the people?" asked Chloe as she had a bad feeling at once, with an urge to get out at once.
"They're drunk. So I let them go home and rest." Noticing that Chloe was about to leave, Hoare stopped her in a hurry. He continued, "Relax. I've sent your friend back to the hotel. She'll be okay."
"Well, I think we'd better go back as well," said Chloe, trying to keep calm. "After all, Mr. Hoare, you're a celebrity. I don't think it's good for our reputation if there are rumors around us."
She implied that he should behave himself in public.
Seeing that there was no one else, Hoare said directly what he really wanted, "I think you must have known that I'm very powerful here. Your fiancé is no match for me at all. If you want to develop your career here, you'd better go along with me. After all, he's not so much younger than me. And he can only help you in your country."
