Chapter 15

015 He Is Bad News

Scarlett’s POV

When I finally put it down, I almost missed my date with Aurora. Hurrying out of her place, I got to Nightingale 10 minute

to 8. I prefer being early.

Nightingale is the biggest nightclub in town. Best place for entertainment for any and everyone, so long as you can afford a drink. We used to come here all the time in college, enjoying its “safe hour” for a little alcohol and a lot of fun.

And trouble found me even before I could get my drink.
