“Quick! Chase her!”

Angeline’s heart skipped a beat when she heard that. She turned the corner and took longer strides. However, her high heels were hindering her speed, so she undid the straps and ran down the stairs.

Soon, the paparazzi lost sight of her.

“This woman should’ve become an athlete.” The man carrying the camera was sweating profusely from running. “Don’t just stand there. Split up and look for her, especially at the entrances. She couldn’t have gone far.”

Angeline noticed that the sky was gray when she stepped out of the hotel entrance. With a loud thunderclap, the rain began to fall without warning.

Many distinguished guests were standing at the entrance, blaming the heavens for the unfavorable weather as they got into their cars.

Angeline looked anxiously at the time on her phone. D*mn! Has the car that Nancy called for me broken down? Why is it not here yet?

As the people at the entrance slowly left one after another, Angeline knew she could not stay there any longer or she would risk getting discovered.

Hence, she jogged in the rain to the roadside and put her hand out to hail a cab. Just as she opened the door and was about to get in, the driver said impatiently, “Miss, please hail another cab. Someone has already booked a ride.”

Noticing the paparazzi looking around at the hotel entrance, Angeline gritted her teeth and pleaded, “I’ll give you more money.”

“I can’t accept it. It’s against the rules!”

The driver did not have the patience to hang around with her, so he reached out and closed the door. In his hurry, he failed to notice that Angeline’s pant leg was caught in the door.

“Wait! My clothes…” Just as she was about to remind him, the driver stepped on the accelerator and drove away.

Angeline leaned forward and ran a few steps. Then, followed by a ripping noise, a piece of fabric was torn from her right pant leg, revealing her pale and slender thigh.

What awful luck! I just can’t catch a break.

Angeline felt down in the dumps. Despite being thoroughly drenched in rainwater, she dared not return to the party and could only take out her phone and call for a private cab.
