Cayson, attempting to respond, was unwilling to Let her go but couldn't bear to see Loraine in discomfort. He put
on a forced smile and stated,
“Alright, Lorrie, rest up.”
As Loraine settled in her seat, the two gentlemen claimed spots on either side of her, promptly.
Cayson reached for a beverage nearby, offering it to her, while the man in the silver fox mask passed her a
napkin to dab her sweat.
Feeling awkward, Loraine surveyed the room.
Without uttering a word, she sipped her drink, pretending to fade into the background.

The men’s rivalry adapted to the situation, amplifying their efforts to provide her with drinks, even to the point of
topping up her glass before she could empty it.
In the blink of an eye, she found herself downing three glasses of wine.
Loraine, feeling uncomfortable, took this as an opportunity to excuse herself to the restroom and flee.
In the restroom, Loraine unmasked herself, gazed at her reflection, and exhaled a sigh of relief. Such a relief to
have lost them.
However, Loraine couldn't help but feel a sense of familiarity in the interaction between Cayson and the man in
the silver fox mask.

She dismissed her thoughts as overthinking and proceeded to wash her hands.
As she shut off the faucet and lifted her gaze, she noticed another figure reflected in the mirror.
It was the woman wearing the peacock mask.
She Lounged against the door, smirking disdainfully, “Loraine, you're quite the attention-seeker. Men are easily
in love with you!”
Loraine squinted, observing the woman in the mirror.
This woman was familiar and seemed to have recognized her from the very beginning.

But who could she be? The woman's familiar silhouette caught Loraine’s eye. However, the unfamiliar outfit and
distorted voice made it difficult to identify her.
With audacity, Paige taunted, “I bet the ventures you've led as CEO of the Universe Group are nothing but
deceptions. You're far more skilled at deceiving men than running a successful business... Ah!”
Paige’s words were cut short by a splash of cold water dousing her, soaking her attire.
Livid, Paige hoisted her sodden dress and roared, “Have you Lost your mind, Loraine?”
Loraine, impassive, flicked the water off her hand and strolled leisurely towards the woman.
“Your mouth is dirty, so | decided to cleanse it for you. You're welcome!”
