Rita's POV:

 

I stood there and watched Charles's car disappear in the distance. I swallowed the lump in my throat and wiped away my tears. I could not believe the blinding pain being caused by my breaking heart.

 

Charles used to love me so much and spoil me. How could he be so cruel to me now? It seemed that everything we had shared and gone through meant nothing to him.

 

And it was all because of Scarlett!

 

This was all her fault! She must have bewitched Charles into staying away from me. I could not hate her more.

 

I gritted my teeth and thought, 'Your day will come, Scarlett. Let's just wait and see.'

 

Then, my phone rang, interrupting my thoughts.

 

"Hello?" I answered impatiently.

 

"Hello, Miss Lively. I'm an employee of the Lively Group." The caller was a man with an unfamiliar voice.

 

"And why are you calling me?"

 

"I have a way to save your company," the man said firmly, and my heart leapt to my throat.

 

"Is this some kind of joke? Who the hell are you?"

 

"Meet me in booth 502 at the Mint Bar tonight, and I will tell you everything. I can help you."

 

Then, the mysterious man hung up. Conflicting emotions started swirling in my gut. My reason told me that the man was probably a liar, but a small part of me could not help thinking that maybe he was the glimmer of hope that I needed. What if this mysterious man really had a way to save the Lively Group?

 

I had nothing to lose and everything to gain.

 

So I decided to meet him.

 

The Mint Bar was already abuzz with revelry when I arrived.

 

The place smelled like smoke and wine. The floor was littered with platforms on which gorgeous, half-naked young women danced. As pieces of their clothing flew in the air and kissed the floor, the men watching them howled, mad with excitement and lust.

 

I calmly made my way through the raging crowd on the dance floor and saw the man I was meeting in booth 502.
