Chapter 34 Its none of your business .
Harley said coldly Without another word , he walked to the car and opened the passenger door .
Turning to Noelle , he said , Noelle , sit here Leias eyes instantly reddened .
She had spent hours preparing for this moment waking up early , meticulously applying makeup , and agonizing over her outfit just to leave a lasting impression on Harley Yet now , he barely even glanced at her .
It was painfully clear : Harley hadnt come to see her .
He was here for Noelle .
Whats so special about her ? Leia fumed internally .
Shes just a gutter rat .
How could someone like her catch Harleys eye ! As for the lifesaver thing , there must be some misunderstanding .
Harley must have been deceived by Noelle ! Alright .
Noelle replied , about to climb into the passenger seat But Leia grabbed her arm , her voice soft but firm .
Noelle , dont you know ? The passenger seat is a very intimate position .
It can easily be misunderstood .
Why dont you sit with me in the back instead ? Is that so ? Alright then , Noelle said , nodding in agreement .
She didnt know much about such social nuances and saw no reason to object .
Leia walked with Noelle to the car , flashing Harley a sheepish smile as they approached .
Sorry , Harley she said sweetly , but Noelle is engaged .
and sitting in the front might give the wrong impression .
Shell join me in the back .
Harleys cold gaze landed on Leia , his patience wearing thin .
Is she always this fake ? Until now , he had thought Leia was the picture of innocence quiet and gentle .
But now , her charm felt like a mask , hiding the sharp edge of subtle manipulation beneath .
Still , Leia had a point .
The passenger seat was a bit too personal .
With a curt nod, he relented .
Do as you like .
Harley moved to the back door and opened it .
Get in .
Leia beamed triumphantly and slipped into the car , throwing Harley a coy smile .
Thanks , Harley .
Harleys expression remained indifferent .
This woman really has no shame .
Suppressing his irritation , he turned to Noelle and said , Your turn Coming .
Noelle chirped , climbing into the back with ease .
As the car began moving .
Leia tried to make conversation .
Harley , where are we going ? Star Club Harley replied , his tone distant .
Leias brows knitted together .
Star Club ! Isnt that place known for its adult activities ? Are you sure its appropriate ? If you think its inappropriate , you can stay behind , Harley said bluntly Leia bit her lip , her voice softening .
Im fine with it , but Noelles still so innocent .
Im worried it might not be suitable for her .
Im fine with it Noelle suddenly exclaimed , her eyes sparkling with excitement .
Adult activities sound fun ! Do they have strippers there , Harley ? Leia nearly choked .
Is this woman for real ? What kind of proper lady talks like that ? Harley glanced at Noelle through the rearview mirror , amused by her enthusiasm .
He let out a low chuckle .
Dont get your hopes up beading to the clubs clean zone its full of thrilling activities , but nothing risqué ? Aw , really ? Noelle dellated , slumping slightly .
No adult zone ? Nope , Harley said firmly .
He wasnt about to let her step foot in a place filled with questionable characters .
Were When they arrived at Star Club , the receptionist immediately recognized Harleys gold membership card and ushered them through the VII entrance to the clean zone .
1/3 9:28 AM c Chapter 31 This is the clean zone , the receptionist explained .
We have various entertainment options here .
Let me introduce them to you .
That wont be necessary , Harley interrupted .
Well handle it ourselves .
You can go Understood , the receptionist replied , bowing before leaving Tollow me .
Harley said , motioning to Noelle .
Okay ! Noelle eagerly followed , with Leia trailing behind .
As they reached a set of grand golden doors , a uniformed doorman opened them with a how , revealing a bustling room filled with young men and women .
Harley A cheerful voice called out .
Connor was already waving enthusiastically from across the room .
Harley led the group over Connors eyes lit up when they landed on Noelle .
Hi , Noelle Before he could finish , Harley elbowed him sharply in the ribs .
Connor doubled over , clutching his side .
Watch your mouth Harley muttered under his breath before turning to Noelle .
This is C is Connor , a friend of mine Nice to meet you , Mr.
Gordon , Leia said I politely , seizing the chance to make a good impression Connor waved dismissively , still holding his side .
No need to be so formal .
Were the same age just call me Connor .

Im Noelle , she said breezily , skipping the formalities entirely .
Connor grinned .
We met the other day .
Do you remember ! Nope .
Noelle replied bluntly , her expression guileless .
She hadnt thought twice about him .
Connor burst out laughing .
Wow , youre brutally honest ! Are we starting soon ? Harley interjected .
Yeah , almost , Connor replied .
Leia , still unsure of what was happening , looked around in co confusion .
What exactly are we doing here ? Connor turned to her , his easygoing grin intact .
Leia , right ? N Mind if I call you that ? Sure … Leia agreed , though she inwardly bristled .
Harley hasnt even called me by my first name , and here you are acting all familiar .
How annoying Great ! So , Leia , Juve you you ever done an escape room before ? Connor asked .
An escape room ? Leia echoed , taken aback .
Before Connor could elaborate , a gunshot rang out .
Everyone looked up to see a fla see a flamboyantly dressed host on the second floor , microphone in Welcome , escapeest the host announced theatrically .
The doors have been locked , and the escape room challenge is about to begin ! Whoa ! Noelle exclaimed , her excitement reignited .
