“Sure, XO.” Emmeline snapped her fingers crisply.

Abel called over the waiter and placed their order.

As the waiter left, the bartender approached their table with their drinks, kneeling down to mix them.

Abel frowned.

The noise was unbearable, he thought to himself.

“Mr. Ryker,” Emmeline said playfully, her face full of mischief, “how about I sing for you instead?”

“You can sing?” Abel squinted at her, finding this “little bro” increasingly intriguing.

“At school, I used to sing all the time,” Emmeline replied. “I was the star of the show.”

“Well, give it a shot,” Abel encouraged her with a grin.

Emmeline took a sip of the cocktail the bartender had just made and walked over to the stage.

As the music started playing, Emmeline belted out the lyrics with abandon.
