"Cus! I'm back—guess who I brought with me!" Elinor burst into the VIP box, completely forgetting her actual duty—keeping an eye on Ace.
Janice, Sonia, and Lola turned toward the entrance just as Ace, Delores, and Evil Eyes stepped inside. Hiding any concern behind a casual front, Janice smirked and said, "You guys made it. So, how was the haul? How much did I make?"
Ace squinted at her, debating whether to say something, but ultimately let it go—only for Sonia to chime in snarkily, "Ace, you're alive. Good. I'd have gone crazy if you died an easy death."
Ace smirked and strolled toward her, eyes gleaming with mischief. "Just admit you're into me. Don't worry—I'll let you down easy," he teased her, riling her up.
"Fucker, you wanna die?" Sonia snapped, shooting to her feet as her teeth and nails grew sharper with her rising temper.
