Chapter 31
There were no blinding neon lights here–only two soft spotlights spinning lazily, casting a gentle glow through the room. Jazz music drifted from the speakers, giving the place a calm, almost intimate atmosphere that set it apart from the usual bars in town.
Most of the tables were already taken. If you paid attention, you’d notice that the clientele was overwhelmingly female–and not just any women, but the kind who wore designer heels and expensive perfume, their laughter as polished as their jewelry.

“Faye, you’re early today! Brought someone new with you?” Stella grinned, slipping behind the bar.
“Yeah, finally managed to snag a reservation.” Faye shot her a mock–annoyed look.
Stella, ever the charmer, picked up on the subtle complaint right away. “That’s my bad. Mario, send three of the new cocktails to Faye’s table–on the house.”
Faye’s annoyance melted into delight. The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, but when Faye tried to ask about Alessia, Stella deftly steered the conversation elsewhere without making an introduction.
