Chapter 6 High Spirit

• Ava checked out herself from up to bottom, she loved how the white heels fit her fair slender feet but the dress, she was not comfortable in it.
• Her thighs were exposed, and she couldn't help but pull it down now and then.
• She raised her head and saw that Hazel was beaming toward her.
• Hazel had given Ava her dress while she was wearing Ava's casual clothes, baddie jeans, and white sneakers with her sleeves rolled up.
• “You're looking so beautiful Ava if I were a guy, I would have asked you for a date for so long”
• Hazel expressed her thought, her eyes were not leaving Ava's figure. Her dress suits Ava accurately, one would think she took Ava along when she had gone shopping for the dress.
• Ava curled her lips in dissatisfaction, “This dress is way too short, Hazel. I can’t wear it” She complained, pulling up the breast area of ​​the dress.
• It was revealing the top of her breasts but not the furrows between them.
• Hazel frowned and yanked her hands away, “Don't be a baby, Ava, this is what you are wearing. You are coming to the college soon, and this is accurately how most of the females dress. So, you better get used to it now”
• Hazel tutored in a stern voice then turned around to grab her purse on the bed.
• Ava pursed her lips, shutting up willingly. She knew she could never win against Hazel. She's as stubborn as a mule.
• With a gloss smile playing around Hazel's lips, she got back to where Ava was standing and crossed the chain of the purse around Ava's neck.
• “Perfect” She muttered, “Go check yourself in the mirror quickly” She persuaded to Ava.
• Ava just smiled and summed up her steps to the dressing mirror. She was being careful with her steps due to the heels she was wearing.
• Looking at herself in the mirror, a fulfill smile spewed on her face.
• Specifically, she was not wearing any makeup, her curly blonde hair with big waves was combed to hang on one of her shoulders and the elegant dress that only elevated her beauty.
• She spun around to face Hazel, "Thank you so much for everything, Hazel," She said in a sincere tone.
• Hazel nods gracefully, "It's okay babe. Now come on, let's go"
• Just before reaching the door, the door suddenly swung open, revealing Charlotte.
• She was wearing jean shorts with a white tank top and a pale pink thigh-high boot. Hazel tuts while crossing her arms beneath her breasts.
• "What's up with your coquettish makeup, Charlotte? I bet you don't have an idea of ​​how you look, you look like a female raccoon" Hazel affirmed firmly.
• Heeding Hazel's words, Ava twisted her lips in a tight line, suppressing her chuckle. Truth be told, that was actually what she had thought in her mind too, but she wouldn't dare say it to Charlotte's hearing.
• "Are you guys ready?" Charlotte asked with anticipation, she seemed to be in a good mood and wouldn't allow Hazel to ruin it.
• Moreover, if she had decided to talk back, Hazel might just change her mind about taking her along.
• Hazel was too lazy to respond to her, she took Ava's wrist and walked out the door, passing by Charlotte.
• Ava, who had a carefree smile on her face, met Charlotte's cold gaze and quickly turned her head
• away.
• They all seated themselves inside Hazel's car. Ava was sitting in the passenger seat beside Hazel, while Charlotte was sitting in the back seat.
• As soon as Hazel kicked the engine to life, she enthusiastically turned on the stereo, which instantly blared Nicki Minaj's rap song.
• "I wish today it will rain all day. Maybe that will kinda make the pain go away, trying to forgive you for abandoning me. Praying but I think I'm still an angel away"
• Both Hazel and Charlotte rapped along with the music blaring from the radio. Ava only smiled, she was filled with a sense of pleasure.
• She put her elbow on the window and stared out the window. She didn't know the song, so she would just enjoy the beautiful view from outside.
• This was precisely the first time she would be attending a night party. In the past, Cole would perpetually invite her to a fret party or club, but she would decline it every time.
• Not that she didn't love to attend a party, especially with someone she claimed to love, but because her parents would never allow her to.
• Perhaps this was the reason Cole ultimately broke up with her. No guy would ever stand a boring girlfriend.
• Pursing her lips, her eyes were filled with tears as she dwelled in the past. In Ava's eyes, she knew she was not the most outstanding lady. However, she thought she was an ideal match for Cole.
• She was ready to do anything just to prove her love for him and by doing anything, she had sworn Cole would be the man to take away her dignity as a lady.
• Realizing that the car had suddenly pulled to a halt, Ava silently wiped her tears, then quickly withdrew her arm before Hazel would notice her pensive mood.
• Getting down from the car, Ava observed her surroundings and she became highly strung up for no reason.
• There were a few people hanging around at the facade of the building, chattering merrily with one another.
• "Come on, Ava, let's go in," said Hazel with enthusiasm.
• She had locked the car and grabbed Ava's wrist then began to stride toward the building, not peeking back to see whether Charlotte was following them or not.
• As Ava walked behind Hazel, she caught some of the guy's lecherous gaze on her, but she didn't pay attention to it.
• Furthermore, the dress most of the girls were wearing didn't go unnoticed by her, and it was at that moment she recalled Hazel's words.
• Reaching inside the room, the loud music blaring from the speaker made Ava shut her eyes briefly. No doubt that she was unaccustomed to places like their current location.
• The colorful lights were dim, so dim that Ava had to strain her eyes before she could see clearly.
• Hazel, on the other hand, seeing that her favorite spot wasn't occupied, smiled and trolled ahead to get the seat.
• Ava kept on Hazel's tail while Charlotte, who had been farrting her eyes from one corner to the other as if she was searching for someone, followed Ava in tow.
• They had barely seated themselves when Charlotte called out a name, got on her feet, and disappeared into the little crowd, giddily.
• “Such a bitch” Hazel scowled, shook her head then beckoned to a bartender. Ava just stayed silent, staring in the direction Charlotte had passed.
• During this whole time, a pair of ruthless brown eyes had been staring directly at Ava since she set her foot into the clubhouse.
• He was sitting alone at the VIP spot, twirling a marble ball in his fingers rhythmically, as if he was thinking about something.
• One could never tell someone was sitting over there because the dim lights were hardly reflecting.
• However, the person sitting there could see everything going on.
• A man in a gray suit got to his table, he stood at one side when he noticed that he was solely staring at something.
• The man gulped subconsciously from time to time, he had no idea what to say first, and the murderous expression on his face had caused his knee to grow weak.
• “Mr. Gonzalez” He called tentatively, wiping out the beads of sweat on his forehead with the back of his palm.
• Gosh! Who created this man? He thought inwardly.
• "Where's your, Boss?" He asked the man in a soft yet husky voice, still having his eyes on Ava, watching every movement she put up with.
• His question made the man's heart leap into his throat. It was true that his Boss and Mr. Gonzalez had a business concurrently, but he didn't know what the business was actually about.
• He was just an ordinary manager who regulates the clubhouse, but he was legitimately aware that a business with Mr. Gonzalez wasn't a good one.
• He pursued his tremble lips in a thin line. Although the manager knew that he commonly come to the clubhouse and most times, he would come with his boss.
• But now, things have changed and this was the second time he had come looking for his boss.
• Nonetheless, his boss had warned him not to tell anyone about his location.
• “My Boss is out… out… out of the country, sir” The manager stuttered, rubbing his clammy palm against his trouser.
• “Get me my usual” That was all he could say.
• The manager stared on for a moment and soon recalled his usual.
• “Right away, sir” He scampered away, stumbling along the way.
• Shortly, he returned with a bottle of wine and a glass. After he lowered it on the table, he awkwardly cleared his throat in an attempt to get approval.
• “Pour it” He commanded, “Yes sir”
• After the manager did his business, he stood straight, couldn't help but wonder what Mr. Gonzalez has been staring at.
• "You can leave"
• Heeding these words, the manager quickly bowed then turned around, sucking a deep breath to regain his stability.
• As soon as the manager was out of sight, Zachary Gonzalez picked up the wine glass from the table, swirled it around in his hand.
• He put the glass under his nose and smelled it lightly. It was fragrant and elegant without strong alcohol.
• Meanwhile, Ava was already enjoying the ambiance. She had gulped down two cups of cocktail which Hazel had proposed before she also evaporated just like Charlotte.
• Ava got in high spirits, she tried as much as possible as she could to tame the spirit, but such spirit couldn't be suppressed.
• Suddenly, she jumped on her feet and began to sway her body to the rhythm of the music, slowly and slowly.
