The Kidnapped Bride

"Ma-am…this late?" Abbey asked in surprise. 

"Why not? I have worked for such a long time. I surely need a break and why not try out a bar here?" Alice came here on very short notice. She hasn't searched anything out about this place. 

Except knowing that it is still in its growing stage, she was very much excited to try things and the culture of this place as well. 

Without revolving, Abbey said, "It is very close. I will instruct your driver to take you to that place."

"That would be wonderful. But why don't you join me as well?" she asked, in response to receiving a little hesitant look from Abbey's side, "Um…someone would be waiting for me at home.."

"Oh…" hearing this, Alice's eyes glowed when she pushed Abbey slightly, to give her a little bit of tease from her side, "Youngblood Hmm? Go Go, enjoy, I won't stop you back. Just tell my driver about this place."

Abbey slightly flushed at this comment of her boss before she nodded her head freely where she felt her cheeks already burning in shame, "-No..nothing..like that…I will immediately do that!" 

With this, Abbey left her cabin without wasting any more time. Sensing the sight of Abbey leaving gave Alice a bit of hint that people here aren't really open to talking about relationships unlike abroad. 'Strange…what is there to fear if you love someone?' 

Her eyes rolled as if she knew the answer already. Society and family pressure. Really? Alice knew she would never understand this ever in her life. 

Alice came closer to one of the mirrors present in her cabin where she took a look at herself, to find her outfit not fit for that of a club. 'I think I will go with something more appropriate…' 

With this thought in her mind, In the next five minutes, her pants were changed with the jeans and formal coat with a cropped leather jacket. Opening her hair from that of the pony, she applied a tinge of lipstick over the lips and a slight blush on her cheeks. 

At last, she checked herself out, to give herself a thumbs up in her appearance before she walked out of her cabin and reach downstairs into her car. 

The driver was already told about the place to take her and within the next ten minutes, they already arrived at the bar which Abbey told her about. Looking at the line which was already there outside, a deep sigh escaped out of her lips. "I will have to wait?"

"No Ms. Anderson. Ms. Abbey already made arrangements for you." the driver told her about this information, making her eyes glow, "Is that so? So, what will I need to do?"

"Just tell the guards that you are Ms. Anderson and they will ultimately let you in." the driver confidently told her, making her eyes twist. Was this so easy? Won't they ask for more information? She found it strange since she rarely worked abroad. 'Or probably we owned one of the clubs…I never thought about this..' 

But alcohol was what will make her calm and worry about her office going down.

Getting out of the car, she looked there at this hustle and bustle to go straight at the bouncers with her heels ticking against the ground. Coming face to face, she opened her mouth, "Mysel Alice Andreson. My secretary must have made arrangements." 

"Yes Please, ms. Anderson. Please welcome." said one of the guards who pointed towards the VIP gates for her, dismaying to the others who stood in line for the longest time. Nevertheless, she least cared about them.  She was brought inside of the club and sat inside one of the booths to look at the people dancing on the floor, but she wasn't one of those who would merely sit at the place and wait for the drink to come. Nah, that wasn't her style to enjoy herself in this place. 

Instead, Alice made her way to the drinking bar station where she looked at the bartender, "I want a glass of whiskey. Please." 

"S-...sure." the bartender whose eyes fell on the lady with the breathtaking beauty felt his heart skipping a beat. The bartender lowered his eyes to concentrate on the drinks rather than drooling over his customer. 

But he wasn't the only one who got flattered by her beauty. It was also the man who stood with their respective girls in their hands who found her already glowing. Was it the effect of her coming from a foreign place? 

But there was a man, who was just sitting beside Alice on the bar with his hand down. At this stage, he was drinking and she found a weird smell coming out of him already, enough pungent to give her a headache. But then she heard, "I want more!!" 

"But sir you have already drunk one entire bottle of the beer. You might just collapse a month from drinking anymore…" the bartender said in an alarming tone but the guy seemed stubborn in this, "Did I ask you for your advice?! Give me more beer! This is my order and follows this!

The man was coming and with no choice left, the bartender just followed the order. 

But this view gave Alice an unknown feeling, "If you, later on, pass, at least give the bartender your number so that he can get you home." 

Hearing the lady beside him spanking in the softest tone he ever heard, the young Shawn averted his eyes in her direction, to find a blurred yet fairy standing in front of him. "Are y–you some…kind…of an angel?"

Hearing this, a chuckle left from Alice's lips when she moved her hair back, "Not an angel but a badass is my style!"
