Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie)

Chapter 655

I'd been here once before with Jace for some business thing Back then, it gave off major upscale corporate vibes.

But after hearing Demi's take? Yeah, I realized I'd been way too naive.

Blending in here was key. Rolling in like a clueless tourist? Total no-go. So, I stuck with the same routine I'd used at that bar.

Where there were women offering "questionable services," there were usually guys doing the same.

I'd already scoped out "young hunks" before, so asking again wouldn't raise any red flags. Even if the Drago family heard about it, they'd probably shrug it off like, 'Sounds about right.' Sometimes, the best covers just fall into your lap.

I booked a private room and waved over a server. "I'm looking for... services. Preferably someone handsome," I said casually.

The server didn't blink. "I'm sorry, Miss. We don't provide those kinds of services here. If you want someone to serve drinks, I can arrange that."

Locked down tight. Every shady detail buried so deep it barely existed. No wonder the Drago family was untouchable-they were pros at this.

I stayed in character, rolling my eyes. "Fine. Send me the hottest guy you've got to pour drinks." Spoiled diva mode: activated.

It didn't take long for someone to show up.
