They'd planned to cook dinner together, but Henry got a call.

“It's about a business deal; I'm deciding whether to give the other party a chance."

It was work-related, so Sonya didn't pry. Shortly after Henry left, Lily Lane called, inviting her for drinks at Jake

"I'm pretty tired, actually.”

“I miss you."

"Fine, I'll go."

The bar was closed. Inside, only one private room was lit.

"Sonya, over here!"

Lily Lane waved from the bar. Sonya nodded. "Why aren't you open?"

Lily Lane pointed to the lit room."Jake Parker said he's hosting an important client tonight."

Sonya sat beside Lily Lane."Is Jake Parker in there?"

"And Leo Jones," Lily Lane paused, "and Julian Jennings."

Sonya frowned at the name.

"I didn't know he'd be there," Lily Lane quickly added.

"It's fine."

Sonya saw Lily Lane's flushed face; she'd had quite a bit to drink.

"How's filming going?" she asked.

Lily Lane sighed."l transferred to Group A."

"It's manageable, but Director Davis has high standards. Every take of my scenes is a retake; the pressure's

"She mentions you constantly, asking about you. I'm starting to think she wants you to be her daughter-in-law."

Sonya laughed. "Does Teacher Sullivan have a son?"

rushed out from the kitchen, asking Sonya for help delivering a freshly prepared dish to the private room. "We're

closed, nobody's here. I'm the only one in the kitchen, I'm swamped!" He scurried back. "I'll go," Lily Lane

offered.

"I'll go," Sonya said, steadying her."You're drunk."

"Okay, just don't bonk Julian Jennings on the head."

"I just wish I didn't know him."

Sonya carried the dish towards the private room. She heard lively chatter. Opening the door, she froze.

Sitting opposite, lounging and smoking, was Henry. He stiffened, instantly straightening up.

Before he could speak, Julian Jennings cut in.

“Julian, don't talk nonsense; you're about to get married," Jake Parker warned.

Julian Jennings, seemingly fueled by something, continued, "I am getting married, but she still loves me. She'd

rather be my mistress than leave me."

"Julian, you're drunk."

Leo Jones reached for Julian Jennings's glass, but he shoved him away, slamming it on the table.

"Sonya, poura drink."

Sonya took a deep breath, placed the dish on the table, then grabbed the bottle and poured it directly over Julian

Jennings's head.

Before Sonya could respond, Henry grabbed a pack of cigarettes and threw it at Julian Jennings.

"Cut the crap!"

Julian Jennings's eyes widened, furious. Jake Parker and Leo Jones quickly intervened, wiping Julian Jennings's

face and calming Sonya. 33.9%

speak, but Henry winked at her.
