Chapter 545
Jeffrey hadn’t really hit the booze hard, instead, he’d chain smoked his way through an entire pack of cigarettes.
After the lights came up and the music died down, he led the girl in the white dress out of the bar, right next to the
hotel where his buddy Wesley had conveniently booked a room.
Jeffrey fished the key card from his pocket with a flick of his fingers and tossed it to her, ‘Go on up, I’m gonna grab

Confused, Caren asked, “Why?”
