Candice found herself in a dilemma now. Neither leaving nor staying seemed appropriate, so she

settled back onto the sofa.

The two young men beside her noticed her low spirits and, without lingering, slipped away to the

As the room buzzed again, Yana approached with a drink, finding Candice absentmindedly staring

at her phone.

Seating herself beside Candice, Yana spoke, “They’re playing cards over there. Why don’t you join? By the way, why hasn’t Hanley come up yet?”

She hadn’t had dinner that night, and after holding back her frustration all afternoon, her stomach finally began feeling uncomfortable.

He glanced at Candice with a lowered gaze. “What’s wrong?”

Before Candice could answer, someone inside who knew Hanley greeted him, “Hanley, you’re
