Eunji woke up before night time came and she had a terrible mood.

She had decided to go out to vent her frustrations in life.

She decided to disguise herself as a man this time as she wanted to go in a bar. She wanted to drown herself in alcohol.

No one had seen her in this disguise before so it was easy for her to sneak out of the hotel without anyone following her.

She got out through the window to make sure that none of her people could follow her just in case.

She found a bar not far from Sophia Hotel and settled there.

When she got in, she scanned the area and found that the place was full of its patrons.

Some of them were still in their office suits. A sign that they had just gotten out from the office and had not gotten the chance to change outfits.

The rest, they were in their comfortable suits. Girls were were wearing revealing clothes and were hovering on the male patrons.

Eunji found herself walking towards the counter and got herself a sex on the beach cocktail from the male bartender serving.

She was sipping on it while thinking on the events that happened to her today.

She shook her head as she tried to shake the thoughts off.

About thirty minutes since she had she been inside the bar, she saw a familiar person getting inside the bar making her eyes to widen in surprise.

"What the hell is he doing here?" She mumbled.

She saw Nathan entering the bar and directly went upstairs in one of the VIP box on the second floor.

He was wearing a hood, a cap and a mask which blocked his handsome face from others to see.

But she could recognize him immediately in one glance.

She heaved a huge sigh of relief to know that he was going upstairs and not here in the bar counter.

She was on her nth glass when a drunk lady coming from the table behind her.

They heard them playing truth and dare and it was one of the dare to approach her or him since she was in disguise as a man now.

She knew this lady was eyeing...no she gave her a quick glance since she entered the bar and her female companions on the table had been teasing her ever since she had done that quick glance earlier.

But she commended her for doing it at least once. After all, her face now was like that of a handsome westerner.

It seems like her female companions had found the perfect opportunity and pushed her to approach her or him since she was dressing as a man.

"Hi!" The woman started shyly.

Eunji thought that she was faking it but seems like she was actually shy.

Eunji gave her a quick glance and looked away.

"Hey handsome...listen...I didn't mean to disturb you but my friends and I were having this little game of truth and dare and was asked to approach and kiss you since I chose dare." She acted innocent since she felt Eunji's hostility towards her.

The woman was pretty though but she's unlucky that she had approached a woman dressed as a man.

She looked pretty decent to say the least. And also, she was only a bit tipsy. She could tell that she had high tolerance compared to the rest of her companions on their table.

It was a plus that she looked pretty decent. She was not wearing those over revealing clothes. She even looked out of place in their table.

"Tell me why I should play along with you?" She asked calmly in French with a male voice as she placed her glass down.

"Well, tonight's kind of my birthday party and at least lossing my first kiss to you would not be a bad thing."

"How old are you?" She inquired her.

"I'm eighteen now. Don't worry, my friends, they're already legal. In fact, we booked a VIP box upstairs but they thought it was pretty boring there so we went here instead." She said honestly. She was even about to show her ID to prove her age.

But Eunji stopped her.

Eighteen and she could hold her liquor really well. But that explained her innocent act.

"Listen...I'm not in the mood for this. And it was clear that you aren't interested in men either." She coldly said making the young lady to flinch in surprise.

"How do you know?" She asked in a soft voice.

"Your actions...and it was just a guess at first but since it's confirmed, then I'm right." She answered.

"So, you won't kiss me then?" She asked awkwardly.

"Yes..." her voice trailed off as she looked at her and then the ladies in the table who were now looking towards them.

"But since it's your birthday, I'll give you a face. I don't want you to be teased by your friends. You can play pretend and fake it with me." Eunji offered.

"Ahm." The woman hesitated.

"Take it or leave it." Eunji spat.

"How should I do it then?"

"Close your eyes and follow my lead." She instructed.

Eunji then got off the stool and stand in front of her.

Since the woman was wearing a high heels, she looked taller but without it, Eunji could say that she was an inch or two taller than her.

"Sit down." She instructed.

The woman sat down on her place.

She then placed her left arm behind her nape and used her palm on her cheek as she drew her closer.

"Close your eyes. Tilt your head to the right a little." She whispered on her left ear.

In a distance, they looked like they were intimately talking to each other which was what Eunji wanted to happen.

"Don't move." She added and she made a quick nod.

She then used her right hand to block the supposed kiss from the outsiders.

Maybe because of the distance between them that the woman was blushing hard.

Everyone on the table cheered for their friend.

Then, they (Eunji and the girl) heard someone clearing his throat which ended their flawless performance effortlessly.

It's not that she wanted to prolong it.

She had to do the kiss since she saw Nathan exiting the VIP box and walking downstairs and eyeing the bar counter.

So she had to act to her disguise.

"Go...they would no longer tease you." she said with an indifferent tone.

She whispered her words of gratitude to her and then left towards their table.

Eunji tensed and ordered another glass from the bartender.

She had built a high tolerance over time.

But seems like with Nathan around, she would be so tensed that she might drink a lot tonight.

She hoped that Nathan would leave before that happened.

She watched Nathan finding a comfortable seat on his right.

"One glass of what he's having." He ordered on the bartender.

He had not removed his face mask and cap yet.

Eunji knew that once he did, the ladies inside the room would be eyeing him surely.

"Here. Enjoy your drink sir." The bartender who happened to be a bartender said. She was obviously flirting with him.

Eunji heaved a sigh of relief when Nathan didn't respond to her making the bartender to be disappointed.

To Eunji's surprise, while Nathan was sipping his drink, he suddenly spoke.

"That was quite a performance." He said making Eunji to flinch slightly but ignored.

"Are you talking to me?" She asked in a deep voice.

"Who else?" He asked her back in sarcasm.

"Well...I don't want to take advantage of the situation." She said. Well she did had taken advantaged of her presence and made her as a cover but unfortunately, her cover was blown up.

Nathan was silent.

"I commend you though." He commented. But then he chuckled at himself.

Eunji remained silent as she didn't have any topic to say.

Then seconds later, Eunji saw J entering the bar and headed to the VIP box on the second floor.

She frowned as she had a bad premonition that J must be meeting someone who was probably a bad person.

She heaved a sigh of relief that she was in this new disguise and J had not seen it.

But then she took a glance at Nathan who was also following J with his stares upstairs.

'Does he knew something?' Eunji asked herself.

She's confident that Nathan would not recognize J since he was wearing skin mask made from prosthetics just like what she was wearing at the moment.

Maybe he had recognized J as the EA of the ELEK Group.

Sometime, J and Angelina would show themselves to their business partners when needed. Maybe Nathan had his ways to find out their true appearance.

"Ahem!" She cleared her throat as she looked away from J and looked at Nathan.

"Do you know him?" Eunji asked him.

"No...but he was familiar to me." Nathan answered her.

She wanted to ask how but she dared not to ask any further questions.

"How about you? Do you know him?"

"I worked on ELEK Group." She lied.

"You're an employee there?" He asked her.

"Yes. I'm one of their security escorts there." She added.

"You're a KSA agent?"

"How do you know?" She asked.

"I just did. I have my sources." He shortly replied.

"Okay..." Eunji said and was about to stand up as she wanted to follow J upstairs and know what he was up to.

"Since boss' here, I have to go and say hello." She reasoned.

"Okay...Come back when you're done. It feels like talking to you feels good. You know, I am all alone here." He said.

"Are you already drunk?" She asked him.

"Not yet. We could still talk a little more if you wanted to." He offered.

Eunji chuckled dryly and asked, "Are you trying to flirt with me? I'm straight."

"Nope. But I will if you want me." Nathan said.

"Go home! You're drunk, dude." Eunji said.

"I'm just kidding. I'm waiting for my friends to come. It's still early."

Eunji then looked at the clock and saw that it's still eight-thirty in the evening.

"Why don't you join us when they come?" He offered but Eunji immediately declined him.

"No. I don't know them and you don't know me. Who knows I am actually a serial killer playing pretense in front of you." She wanted to scare him but who would have thought that Nathan would say something smooth.

"I don't mind. I married a mercenary queen and I was not afraid of her." He said.

"--__--" Eunji was uttered speechless.

"Go before your boss will fire you." Nathan urged her to leave.
