Crushed Affections

At around 11:00 pm, Dominic received a call from lan. He looked at his ongoing call with Bella and hesitated if he should answer. If he answered, his call with Bella would end automatically. It wasn't until lan called a second time that he decided to take the call. Ian would not normally call twice unless it was an emergency.

The second the call was connected, lan excitedly asked, "Are you still in your office? It's already so late at night. Aren't you tired? Let's go and relax."

Dominic was immediately on high alert when he heard his friend say, "relax". So, he said, "You can go and play alone. I'm not interested in those women."

lan laughed crazily as he said, "I'm not asking you to break whatever celibacy pact you have going on right now. You can continue to save yourself for Bella. I just want to spend some time with you. "It's more of an interesting private gathering. I'm only asking you to join in on the fun."

Since that was the case, Dominic agreed as he was indeed bored in his office.

His call with Bella ended after he answered lan's call. He did not call her back either, as he believed that she had already fallen asleep. He would only wake her up if he called her back now. He proceeded to follow the address lan had sent him and drove to a villa by the suburbs.

The space was dimly lit, exuding an air of ambiguity. Pulsating music blasted through the walls, and the tightly drawn curtains obscured the view. Shadows of people could be vaguely seen moving inside.

It was clear that this wasn't a proper gathering. It looked more like a wild and raucous house party.

Dominic was somewhat resistant to attending such parties. However, he was already there, and it wouldn't be proper of him to leave without meeting lan.

When he entered the place, he immediately saw someone smoking in the entryway. The glow of the cigarette lit up their silhouette faintly.

Dominic quickly walked over and asked, "Why are you at such a place? Has lan corrupted you?"

Leonard was startled. He put out the cigarette awkwardly by stepping on it. "I-I'm just here to look for something new. I've never been to such a party, and lan told methat it would be fun. en Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"So, I decided to come. Why are you here, too?"

Dominic was slightly exasperated. "He called me here just like how he did you? He's probably still reeling from the major blow he took recently, so he's bound to be a bit

crazy for a while."

As they stepped into the main hall, a blend of sweetness and cigarette smoke greeted them, with the perfume's scent strangely intoxicating.

Dominic wasn't that affected as he had attended such parties before. Leonard, on the other hand, was already beginning to feel dazed. "Holy shit. It's so intoxicating."

The two men looked around the place but failed to find lan. They figured that he was probably off in a corner with a woman.

The men varied in age, from young adults to those in their 40s and 50s, creating a diverse mix.

The women, however, were all young and dressed glamorously to look like socialites. In truth, they were just fishing for wealthy men, and not one of them was a genuine socialite. Each one of them was dressed as provocatively as possible.

It wasn't too late yet, so the scene was still relatively "tame". Dominic knew lan's tendencies and decided to head to the backyard with Leonard.

In a dark corner, faint sounds of a

woman's soft moans and gasps drifted over. "Mr. Clarke, be gentle. Don't be in such a rush. I'll follow you to the hotel later. You can do

whatever you want there...

Leonard's mind was a mess, and he stopped before deliberately coughing twice. He had no intention of witnessing any dirty scenes.

Hearing that someone was there, the two figures finally untangled themselves. Ian tidied his clothes and walked out. "Oh, you guys are here."
