CHAPTER 44

  As Dorothy was about to move away from the group she was with towards where Ben Clifford was standing with his bodyguard still surrounding him and people exchanging pleasantries with him, Ethan made a signal by raising his hands shyly to Leo, who was by now feasting on a glass of red.

  Getting Ethan's signal, Leo placed down his glass on a nearby table and started walking towards them. "Leo asked you to keep an eye on me, right?" Dorothy asked, noticing Ethan behind her.

  Ethan giggled softly and took a step back as Leo met with them. "Hello, Clifford" Dorothy greeted from behind him, a bright smile on her face.

  "Dorothy!" Clifford exclaimed, spinning around to get direction. He darted his eyes from her to Leo and Ethan that were standing behind her before he leaned closer to the guard beside him and whispered something into his ears.
