Chapter 0045 CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE. ASHANTI’S POV. Tonight I’m back in the off shoulder dress that’s showing too much cleavage than it should and ends. high above the region I wish it could have ended on. I am once again, almost naked and about to dance for men. Yes, you heard me right. While getting dressed, the servants announced we will be entertaining the men today by dancing for them. I can’t even dance to save my life! “I heard a rumour.” One of the girls whispers by my side. We are standing in a line at the door to the lounge, waiting for the instruction to go in. I look straight ahead, pretending not to be interested in their conversation, but I’m in fact, picking up every detail they drop. “What rumour?” Her friend asks, eager. “I overheard the elderly servant’s saying Alpha Reagan is in there.” I almost choke on my saliva. “No way!” Her friend exclaims, gasping lightly. She even gets the attention of the other girls around. The girl who gave the announcement trails off about what the elderly servant was discussing but the words are completely blocked out because the statement she made about Alpha Reagan is still ringing in my mind. That is not good news at all. Apart from the fact that things are always pretty awkward between us, I have Alina to be scared of. If I go in there and he chooses me to serve him, that will be the end of me because Alina will skin me alive. Goddess,please let this not be true. Let this be another false rumour. The s e v a n t finally arrives and leads us into the lounge. The moment I step in, my eyes take
inventory of every man in the room and I’m about to sigh in relief, but that breath is caught in my throat when I see him comfortably seated in the VIP area, all alone. I s t a g r backwards. My life flashes before my eyes. He chooses me. I dance for him all night. The girls spread the rumour. The rumour reaches Alina ears. Alina skins me alive. I spin around at the speed of light to hide my face from his searching eyes. He cannot see me. He cannot know I’m here. I watch in horror as the girls disperse towards various men with fat smiles on their faces. Am I expected to do the same? Chapter 0045 My eyes skim over the place once more, making sure not to look anywhere close to the VIP area. Even though the girls are excited about Alpha Reagan being present here today, none of them have had the courage to approach him first. “Ashanti!” A familiar voice calls and mortification washes over me when I turn and see Lisa. “Ma’am Lisa.” I call in fear. “Why aren’t you dancing yet? Can’t you see the other girls getting busy?” “I… I… (( “You… you what? There are several other unattended men in here. Go over to one of them and start dancing. Stop hanging around, doing nothing like you’re special, because you are not! You are just like every other girl in here. Now, get to work!” So bitter! “Yes, Ma’am.” I reply calmly despite the raging urge in me to shout in her face. I retreat from her intoxicating presence. Looking around, I try to find someone who looks friendly so I can go over to him. I try to avoid looking at the VIP area, but my eyes betray me and lock with Alpha Reagan’s. I try to tear my gaze away from him, but he holds me in place with his eyes. Fear boils in my heart as I take a step back. My knees buckle when he calls me over with a handshow. I look behind me to check if he’s referring to someone else, but there’s no one and when I look back at him, he does the same action with his hand, indicating he wants me over.
I can’t go. If I go there, the other girls will see us together. The news will reach Alina and she will kill me! “Hello s**y lady!” Drunk words graze over my neck and I stiffen on the spot when I feel a strong hand slipping around my waist and pulling me against a hard pile of muscle. I gasp in fear and spin around at the speed of light only to find a strange man grinning down at me. “Who the f**k are you!” I whisper harshly, trying to take a step back, but he still has me in place with his strong grip. My heart falls into my abdomen. “Don’t try to run away from me…” He reeks of alcohol. “I’ve had my eyes on you since the moment you walked in here. I noticed you weren’t going to come to me, so I decided to…” He suddenly stops talking and I watch his throat skip up and down as he swallows dryly. He quickly lets go of my waist and steps away from me like I’m some contagious disease he doesn’t want to get infected by. I don’t know if I should be happy or disappointed about that gesture. “I’m sorry for bothering you. Have a great evening.” He apologises and s t g g s away, trembling. I’m dumbfounded as I watch him work his way through the crowd towards the door. I look around, trying to figure out what could have happened to him, but everything seems pretty normal. As much as I’m happy that the man finally left me alone, I’m worried about what made him leave. My eyes fall back at the VIP area of the lounge and this time around, I’m greeted by a frown on Alpha Reagan’s face. I almost lose my balance when he nods towards the nearest door and rises to his feet, his eyes trained on me. I widen my pupils and he nods again towards the door and that’s when I understand that he wants me to follow him outside. My palms start sweating and itching out of fear. I look around, hoping no one saw that gesture of his, but unfortunately for me, some girls did and they are now glaring at me. This is the end of me.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
