Teri’s lips curved into a sarcastic smile, saying, “Because Natasha is not Unity, and Alexei is not Dereck.”

Natasha held an invitation from Ramona for an entertainment yacht party, and her eyes were fixed on it. She gasped, her mouth wide open, “Ah…”

Alexei instinctively brought grapefruit juice to her lips.

Natasha took a couple of gulps. “It depends on your availability. If you think it’s worthwhile, go. If you don’t like it, I don’t want to go either.”
