Venice struggled to get up and keeping her balance, she stumbled a few times, swaying left and right till she finally manage to get out of the restroom.
However, she felt so dizzy and is about to collapse on the floor when suddenly a strong arms held her.
"Miss, are you ok?" a man"s voice speaking a different language asked.
Venice slowly looked up but could vaguely make-out of the man"s appearance. "S-Shin? Shin! you finally found me..."
The man frowned not understanding her words.
"Shin, i love you...please don"t go, i"ll do anything you want, please don"t go Shin..." Venice tightly clung onto the man and keep on mumbling Shin"s name.
Inside the VIP room, everyone went in the adjoining room to play games except Zahn and Ji-hye.
Ji-hye gathered her courage and smiled at Zahn. "uhm, w-would you like another drink?"
"Should i compliment you for your best acting?" Zahn disdainfully asked.
Ji-hye looked startled, her lips parted from confusion.
Zahn suddenly grasped her chin firmly, that she jolted from pain but Zahn don"t seemed to care. "I hate scheming woman the most, 4 years ago you already showed your true color, don"t think you can deceive me again."
A tear rolled onto Ji-hye"s cheek, her body trembled not from fear but heartache.
Is there really no chance for them to go back from the way they were before?
Zahn averted his gaze and let go of Ji-hye, ignoring the bitter feeling in his heart. "don"t let me see you again." he then walked out and slammed the door.
Tristan wanted to get his pack of cigarette from the table when he saw Zahn going out, he glance at Ji-hye and followed Zahn outside.
"leaving without even saying goobye?"
Zahn halted and turned to Tristan, "I"m tired, just tell Jie that i left."
"Right, aren"t you going to take Ji-hye with you?" Tristan asked but Zahn didn"t say anything so he continued. "you know, i don"t think she ever wronged you, are you just going to let misunderstanding ruin all those years you both spent together? why don"t you just talk to her?"
Zahn looked infuriated, his icy stare narrowed towards Tristan. "If you want to be a relationship advisor try it to Shin, i don"t need it."
Tristan smiled, completely unaffected of Zahn"s demeanor, if he can stand Shin"s mood then same goes with Zahn. "Shin is actually better than any of us, he never turned his back from any of his problems so i won"t worry about him misunderstanding Sheri, he"ll just annoy her anyway til he gets what he wants."
"just mind your own business." Zahn indifferently said and walk off.
"don"t regret it then." Tristan mumbled to himself and went back inside.
Olive and Tracy also notice Zahn"s action earlier and they looked at each other meaningfully. It"s long been a gossip that the so called Mrs. Neri is nothing but just on paper, who would have thought it"s true; moreover, they also confirmed it with their own eyes!
They then approached Ji-hye acting friendly and cheerful, so what if she"s the wife of Dr. Zahn Neri? he obviously don"t care about her! sooner or later they will divorce and women will start swarming around Dr. Neri, they should make use of this opportunity to get close to Dr. Neri!
"waahh! i can"t anymore! my head hurts! Young Master Saeki let"s go?" Rose complained but Jie is already drunk and long asleep.
Tristan glance at his watch and realize it"s already past 4am, he then gestured to one of the casino staff to take Jie and Rose at their hotel room and gave his room card to Sam. "I"ll take Ji-hye home first."
Sam understood and took the card, "Why not book her a room here as well, you look tired, it"s not safe for you to drive."
Tristan chuckled and grabbed her waist. "don"t worry i can still perform."
"Idiot! that"s not it," Sam smacked Tristan"s arm as they walked towards the main room. "I just think she"s also drunk so- wait, where is she?"
Tristan furrowed his brows upon seeing only Olive and Tracy happily talking while looking at their phone. "Where"s Ji-hye?"
"Young Master Felan, i think she already went home, she said her head hurts and just left." Tracy said.
"I thought she told you guys? should we look for her outside?" Olive suggested.
Tristan grabbed Sam"s hand and turned to leave, clearly displeased. "no need."
"I"ll check the female restroom, see if she"s there." Sam told Tristan once they"re outside.
"Thanks, if she"s not there just head to the room."
"sure!" Sam nodded and parted with Tristan.
Then Tristan asked a casino staff to take him to the security room, he doubt she just left without saying goodbye knowing her character.
Earlier, Ji-hye had a nice chat with Tracy and Olive, she also didn"t hold back and drank a few gla.s.ses of alcohol in order to forget Zahn"s hurtful words even just for tonight.
Not long after, she suddenly feel strange and Tracy urge her to go to the restroom, saying it"s just the alcohol.
Ji-hye immediately washed her face but still nothing has change, she actually feel hot and dizzy.
"If you"re in trouble, call me immediately..."
"don"t let me see you again."
Staring at her reflection in front of the mirror, Ji-hye remembered Zahn"s words before and what he said earlier.
"I didn"t change, why did you..." Ji-hye whimpered, crying her heart out, unable to hold herself any longer.
After sometime, Ji-hye is feeling even worst and it dawned on her that she was possibly drugged, she can only ask Tristan or Jie for help.
