âItâs them! The two gorgeous ladies!â
The host beamed at us excitedly.
âGive it up for those two ladies in the back! If your performance is Liked by the audience, youâll get a yearâs worth of free drinks!â
I refused without hesitation.
âSorry, but we quit! You can pick someone else to perform!â
But as soon as I said this, Riley clamped her hand over my mouth and shouted, âNo! Weâre happy to perform! Letâs go!â
She didnât give me a chance to refuse and dragged me onto the stage with inhuman strength.
Oh, God.
I was having a headache.
Riley was finally herself now that she was drunk, but the timing couldnât be more off.
If we performed together onstage, all eyes would be on us.
Riley might be recognized.
And worse yet, judging from how things were going, we wouldnât be able to escape at this rate.
The only good news was that since all eyes were on us, Janiya couldnât order her bodyguards to catch us for now.
But this stalemate was only temporary.
As soon as the show ended, sheâd definitely have us captured.

As these thoughts swirled around in my mind, Riley dragged me onstage.
Riley suggested, âDebra, youâll sing and Iâll play the piano.
Weâll definitely perform well!â
Only then did I notice the piano tucked away at the corner of the stage.
This was exactly what Riley wanted.
She Loved playing the piano and performing very much.
But I wasnât sure how well sheâd play if she was drunk.
We had to find a way out of this situation, or else our cover would be blown at any moment.
So I told Riley in a low voice, âItâs not safe here.
We have to go.
â
But Riley rolled her eyes and waved her hand drunkenly.
âIf they Like our performance, we wonât need a yearsâ worth of free drinks.
Weâll just need a ride home!â
A lot of men flocked to the front of the stage at once.
âNeed a ride? I have a car!â
âMe, too!â
Rileyâs rash behavior was digging our grave, and I was afraid that sheâd blurt out something thatâd give us away, so I reluctantly agreed to shut her up.
âOkay, okay.
Iâll sing.
Go and play the piano already!â
Rileyâs eyes lit up.
After deciding on a song with me, she walked to the piano and sat down happily.
