There was no place for us to run.
I didn’t dare to run into Caleb and Carlos with Riley. Since Caleb had just recognized me, maybe he’d recognize Riley as well.
If he found out that we had come to the bar in disguises, he’d have something else on me. And I didn’t want to keep getting entangled with him.
However, behind us were Janiya’s bodyguards.
Riley and I were caught in between the two parties.
To make matters worse, the drunken Riley didn’t seem to realize the gravity of the situation. She shouted excitedly, “It’s so fun here!”

“Please keep your voice down!” I hissed.
I was afraid that the two groups of people would find us if Riley kept shouting like this. To my dismay, she started shouting even louder.
“Wine! More wine! I want to drink!”
I gritted my teeth, my head pounding terribly.
Debra’s POV:
Desperate and running out of options, I grabbed Riley’s hand and dragged her around, trying to sneak out from the back door under the cover of the crowd.
Unfortunately, just as we were a few steps away from the back door, the lights suddenly went out and people screamed in surprise.
Then, a spotlight shone on the stage. A beautiful, sexy woman slowly walked onstage. It seemed that she was the host, smiling at the crowd with a microphone in her hand.
“Ladies and gentlemen, today’s a special day. In honor of the beginning of the carnival, we’ll be selecting a guest from the crowd to perform tonight. And tonight’s bill for the selected guest will be on us!”
Hardly had the host’s voice faded away when the crowd started cheering with excitement.
I was so scared that we’d be selected that I yanked at Riley’s arm, determined to get us out of here.
“So, who’s tonight’s Lucky performer?”
As soon as the host finished speaking, the spotlight began to scan through the crowd.
Everyone was so excited and held their breath as they waited for the spotlight to Land on the lucky guest.
We were so close to the exit. Just a few more steps…
To my horror, the spotlight suddenly landed on us.
I stopped dead in my tracks, eyes wide in disbelief.
What terrible Luck!
“Wow! A man near us whistled.
