It had to be said, the woman was stunningly beautiful.
Even John, for a moment, felt a bit flustered.
Dressed in a black mermaid dress with red embroidery, she reclined gracefully on the daybed, a cigarette holder in hand.
The large embroidered roses dazzled the eyes, almost as if the petals were swaying, emitting a fragrance that was utterly intoxicating.
Upon seeing John, the corners of her mouth curved into a slight smile.
"Long time no see."
Long time no see?
Though John's face showed no reaction, he was internally shaken.
He was certain he had never met this woman before, but why then...
Why would this woman say "long time no see"?
"Why are you standing there? I won't bite; come in," the woman said with a gentle laugh, slowly rising to her feet.
Her fair, long legs emerged from the side of her dress, utterly captivating.
