“Whom are you going to pick up?”
Wesley paused for a while, and answered honestly, “Blair.”
‘What? He promisedthat he wouldn’t bug her anymore!‘ Hartwell thought angrily after Wesley gave the name.
“Oh really? What a coincidence! I’m here to pick her up too,” he said impatiently.
‘Oh! So Blair called Hartwell! Then, I guess I’d better leave, ‘ Wesley thought .

Wesley shook his head. He felt it was better to leave.
“I’m leaving now.” Now that he knew Hartwell had cto pick up Blair, he was relieved.

“Then cwith me.” Saying that, Hartwell took the lead and entered the club. Wesley hesitated for a while but soon started to follow him.
The hall manager led the way and pushed the door to Room 616 open for them. When the people inside saw that two men walked in and that one of them was in a military uniform, they went silent.
Wesley’s gaze swept over the room. It stopped at the woman in Joslyn’s arms. Blair didn’t see him as her eyes were closed. She was sipping her beer casually with her back towards him.
When Joslyn saw them, she nudged Blair and asked, “Why did they ctogether?”
“Who?” Blair asked in surprise. She was wondering why her friends had stopped singing. She took a few moments to realize how the room had suddenly gone silent.

Blair still didn’t get Joslyn’s point. She shook her head and murmured,
“Who Knows? Maybe for work. Wait! Wesley? Joslyn, am I seeing things? I can see Wesley here.”
Joslyn rubbed her eyes.
“I see him too. That means we are not see things. They are really here!”
Her eyes were fixed as she saw Hartwell greeting the other guys along the way. The two men who had gotten into the room a few moments ago were now walking towards her and Blair.
Wesley nodded at Joslyn gesturing to say “Hi,” and then stared at
Blair, saying nothing. The two just looked at each other. Their gazes were so strongly engrossed in each other as if the others around didn’t exist at all.
Although Hartwell wasn’t happy that Wesley and Blair met behind his back, he still asked her, “So Blair, whose car are you riding in?”
