“By the way, where is the way upstairs… you know the top floor?” Jade asked. She suddenly became interested in the big sharks’ lair.

“Oh… is someone itching to ditch the small sharks and dine with the big sharks already?” Macy teased her friend, arching her brows at her several times in a row.

​​

Jade nudged her arm and smiled. “Stop it, Macy. You know I am just curious. I do not see any staircase leading up that’s why. Besides, from outside, the top floor was completely dark. It looked like no one inhabited the place.”

“True, I thought it was built and designed like that. There is a secret door leading up. Only the richest go there. That was why I told you they wouldn’t come down here, but if you are eager to check things out yourself, I can get us in.”

Macy blinked twice at her friend while displaying her charming ‘I got this babe,’ smile.

“No, thanks. I am cool here. It’s good this way. I won’t have anything to worry about.”

“Are you sure?”

Jade gave her a nod and replied, “I’m okay. Now let’s enjoy our party shall we?”

“Oh yeah!”

With that issue settled, they were inside the second club in no time.

As they entered the room, they were greeted with a darker room than the first floor, with less booming music than the first and more booths but each looked exquisite and with better taste than the ones they had on the first floor, indicating the class of these youngsters.

Jade took note of her surroundings the instant their feet touched the floor of the bar. Her eyes scanned her environment closely and in turn, she got several stares from young handsome guys.

Some went as far as whistling at her and others winked.

In no time,Macy found them a seat close to a booth and after some time, she got up to order their drinks, leaving Jade alone.

“Hey girl, I will be right back. Let me just get us something sweet and okay to drink, alright?”

“No worries. You can go Macy, I not a baby chick that needs protecting from an owl, shuu… “

Jade shooed her friend away with her hands, a small smile graced her lips at her own comments.

“Sigh! Even though you are not a chick, Jade, the small sharks would still want you.”

“Ease up baby girl. I will be fine. Let them come. Don’t you trust my capabilities in handling them?”

Macy mused at her friend’s words and shook her head lightly,”Alright, if you say so. I won’t be long.”

“Go mother hen, haha…”

‘Naughty Jade.’ Macy thought and moved towards the bar with her small purse in her hand.

Like Jade, she was dressed in a blue sleeveless shimmering, thigh high short dress with the back cut low to her waist, exposing her flawless skin.

She had her hair fall loosely at her back, with small locks cascading at her front. Her blue heels clicked on the tiles with each step she took, turning all attention to her as her hips swayed to the light music in the background.

Oh yes, that was Macy, the elegant successful young businesswoman.

***

At another part of the club, three men sat idly in their personal space separate from where the other young business tycoons’ heirs sat.

The first had a glass of blue colored drink in his glass and he twirled it without the slightest bit of emotion or interest as his eyes scanned the place they were in.

This was the place for the rich of the rich. The money speaking men, the young heirs and heiresses of the city’s business men and women.

But for some unknown reason, it wasn’t as lively as it used to be.

“Remind me why I agreed to come here again?” One of the men in a black and gold six piece suit said. His face was blank and expressionless.

“Ahem! I am sorry about this Xan. The day you decide to venture unto a club after a month of working your ass off, it became dead boring.” It was Jay who spoke up in an apologizing tone.

He could feel the boredom himself. The whole place felt like a cold water was poured on a once raging fire, quenching his fury.

“Look on the bright side, something spectacular can happen. Besides, we are here together as friends, hasn’t it been a while?” Jay tried to be optimistic about their situation.

“Sigh, I heard the other floors are better than this when it comes to having fun. If only it could be as hot here as well,” Sky said in a low voice.

“Tsk. I am going to the second floor. No matter what, it is bound to be better than this. Maybe I will see a little fish to play with since the night is young.”

“What!”
