Chapter 74

Tiffany awoke in the luxury suite at Nocturne Nightclub.

She found herself sprawled on a vast bed with a thin blanket draped over her. She was still clutching the sleeve of Vincent's suit jacket, but Vincent himself was nowhere in sight. Her phone was next to her, still showing no signal.

Just as she slipped out of bed, the doorbell chimed.

A waiter stood outside. "Good morning, Ms. Llyod. Mr. Lewis had this sent up for you."

The tray held an elegant breakfast spread and a note in bold, precise handwriting.

It read, "I've gone back to the office. Enjoy the breakfast, and then go home and rest. You can have the day off and no deductions from your pay."

Tiffany then remembered to check the time it was already past nine. She wondered if the bed was just too comfortable, seeing as she'd slept in until so late! After a quick breakfast, she hurried back to the dorm.

While she was in the shower, her phone blared with alarms. It gave her the nagging sense of something important prickling at her memory.

When she finally checked her phone's screen, the realization finally hit her. It was William's birthday!
