Chapter 129

Sarah clenched her fists. She wouldn't dare fight for a man in Regina's presence,

so she could only wait in the shadows for the right moment.

Meanwhile, a middle-aged man approached her and raised his glass of champagne. "Gorgeouis lady, are you waiting for someone?"

Sarah gave a hum and looked up.

The man in front of her was at least 20 years older than her. Though clad in a well-tailored suit, the thick gold chains around his neck and the flashy watch on his wrist made him look like a nouveau riche. His cheeks were slightly flushed. He seemed to have had a bit to drink.

He stared at her for a moment and then suddenly handed her a key card. His eyes flashed with an unreadable intent.

Sarah initially thought he was trying to hit on her and was about to toss the key card away. But- to her surprise, he headed straight for Cole, nodding and fawning over him while occasionally glancing in her direction.

She started to suspect that the key card was actually from Cole and that the gaudy man was just a messenger. Just as the thought crossed her mind, Cole followed the man's gaze and looked at her but said nothing. Her heart pounded wildly.
