The CEO’s Betrayal: My Ex-lover Has Triplets

Chapter 21- A punch

It was 10:00 pm at Marlin’s Club. The place was buzzing with people who came to have fun despite it being a Monday.

Loud music was playing through the speakers and disco lights kept twinkling in the dimly lit place.

At a corner, Tessa and Harry were seated at a long round cocktail table on long bar stools.

Tessa was having a mimosa cocktail while Harry was having a beer. They had been here for a few hours and Tessa was beginning to get a little drunk after taking a few glasses.

“Want to talk about what’s bothering you? Why did you want to drink on your birthday? And how come you’re still here, what about the company in Whitpalm?” Tessa asked.

Now that the alcohol had kicked in, she was now carefree and could say whatever comes to her

mind.

Harry took a sip of his drink and replied, “I moved the business back to Ashford.”

Tessa’s mouth almost fell to the floor.

“Why would you do that? I thought it was doing well in Whitpalm City.”

Harry shrugged before saying, “You were no longer there, so why should I stay?”

Tessa chuckled awkwardly. She glanced around at the people on the dance floor as a deflection. Wanting to change the subject, she remarked, “Who knew people still visit the club during working days? This place is fully packed.”

Harry knew she was avoiding the topic so he dropped it. He glanced at the dance floor and offered, “Would you like to dance?”

Tessa’s eyes widened and she frantically waved her hands at him, refusing. “No, please. I can’t dance to save my life.”

However, Harry wasn’t taking no for an answer. He got up and held out his hand at Tessa.

“Let’s dance. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of you.”

Tessa glanced at his hand and felt her stomach twist. She bit her bottom lip and glanced at him, saying, “I don’t know… Harry. I don’t dance. All I’ll do is step on your feet.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll show you how.”

Before Tessa could tell what was happening, Harry had grabbed her hand and led her to the dance -floor.

“Harry! I told you I can’t dance!” She yelled, her stomach knotting with nerves.

Harry didn’t listen and when he finally dragged her to the dance floor, he snaked his arm around her waist and pulled her close to him. He looked into her eyes and smirked, “Relax and follow my lead. We are not doing the waltz here. It’s freestyle.”
