The barbecue party had been going on for over three hours. With drinks flowing and laughter echoing, it seemed like everyone was having a blast.
In the midst of the festivities, Yasmine slipped away to claim her prize, guided by a staff member.
According to Yonas' rules, she could take home any animal she wanted. While she had a soft spot for horses, she ultimately chose a deer-she believed horses needed the open grasslands more.
After making her selection, Yasmine stepped outside, only to be intercepted by a bodyguard. He stood tall and said, "Ms. Sanchez, Mr. Russell would like to see you."
Knowing it was Yonas' inviting, Yasmine followed the bodyguard upstairs. When she entered the room, she found Yonas lounging in a chair by the window leisurely, while Chuck was busy mixing drinks, the ice glistening in the purple liquid. Chuck noticed Yasmine and his eyes lit up. He teased, his tone was playful and laid-back, "Wow, look who's here! You've really got something going with Yonas. He never shares a drink with anyone."
Yasmine couldn't help but examine Chuck closely. He was strikingly handsome, and for a moment, when Yonas spoke, she lost her train of thought. By the time she snapped back to reality, it was just her and Yonas in the room. Yonas smiled, breaking the silence. "Ms. Sanchez, I'd like to ask you for a favor.

Lucy nodded but didn't seem convinced.

A gentle voice interrupted her. "Ms. Sanchez, Ms. Lynch, why not join us for a ride? It's getting late, and calling a car might be a hassle.
Yvette approached with her arms in Xavier's, her voice sweet "Xavier, just give Ms. Sanchez and Ms. Lynch a lift, okay?" Xavier's deep gaze swept over Yasmine before he uttered. "Get in the car.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
His friends stood behind him, curiosity flashing in their eyes, as if they were anticipating some kind of drama.
Yasmine frowned and shook her head. Thanks, but we can get home ourselves."
Lucy echoed, "Yeah, who needs your ride? We've got our own."
Their refusal felt a little harsh. Yvette's tone carried a hint of caution. "Ms. Sanchez, mean no harm. It's just not safe for two girls to be out here alone."
Xavier held Yvette's hand, his expression softening-three years passed, and Yvette was still the thoughtful one. He glanced at Yasmine and said c***y, "Get in. Yvette is just trying to help. No need to make a big deal out of it. Frustration bubbled inside Yasmine. Ima sharper tone, she shot back, "Mr. Flynn, I said it's not necessary. Xavier's expression darkened. Yvette lowered her gaze and fell silent, looking innocent and a bit pitiful. Their friends BGB.

The tension in the air thickened. Lucy rolled up her sleeves, ready to fight.
"Whoa, are you two playing Freeze Game?" Chuck's teasing voice cut through the awkwardness. He waved the car keys in his hand, glancing at the group of people with a smirk.
