Myra All Mine

Chapter 26

Amika's Pov
...

As soon as we started to dance I noticed that we were changing partners....right now I was dancing with a large man....who couldn't seem to stop talking about how rich he was...

I mean....we were barely even dancing at all
"-And then, I flew her out to Dubai just for her to say that she didn't love me anymore and that she hopes I find the true love of my life...."

I was too focused on finding a way to Lucas, that I hadn't noticed that he was still talking to me

"Can you believe that...???" the man said a bit louder causing me to snap out of my thoughts

"Oh yes..I mean no no, how cruel of her....and on your birthday..." I fakely sympathised
"The audacity she had.....she returned all the cars I had gotten her, all the designer bags and said that she didn't need all that stuff anymore....who the hell did she think I was going to give them to....." he went on ranting

There was an uneven number of people, so some people were without partners, Lucas being one of them...I'm surprised, his Fiance seemed to be so clingy to him earlier on...

Finally it was time to change partners and I decided to not dance this time around......I was going to go straight to Lucas but that would be too obvious

I needed a distraction. The ballroom was dimly lit, so you couldn't really recognise people if you didn't try hard enough

I bumped into a lady with a glass of what looked like wine and some of it poured onto me

"I'm so sorry....please excuse me, I can barely see where I'm going in dimly lit places..." I said
"It's alright...I understand.."

Now I had a diversion, I passed a few centimetres by Lucas and dropped a note heavy enough for him to notice by his feet and hurried to one of the guest rooms

Lucas's Pov
...

I managed to free myself from Eva after like 10 minutes of dancing with her....I didn't mind that she kept stepping on my feet, the thing that bothered me was the fact that she was whispering very strange things ij my ear

Yes....the lusty kind

Then suddenly a lady dropped something at my feet, something light but too heavy for me not to notice, I picked it up and it appeared to be a note, which said...

"Meet me in the last room down the corridor, and make sure you're not followed...I have something that just might save you from your coming marriage....."

A.

Without even thinking I already knew who wrote this...I smiled at the fact that the girl who I liked so much, didn't give up on me...

I was about to go in the direction where she went....when I remembered that the person who had been sending me those anonymous emails, was still keeping tabs on me...

It could be dangerous for Amika...or anybody here if I went against those instructions again....but maybe, just maybe

I went into a corner, and made a call
"Hello...."
" Hey Lucas, what could possibly be more important than my date...."
"If I may ask with whom..."
"That you do not need to know...."

I laughed
"Listen Jamie...I need a favour..."
"Shoot, I'm listening..."
"I need to something with the chip, interfere with it for a little bit
"Ooh, secret rendezvous, and I don't need to know who...."
"Very funny, how much time can you give me before they notice I'm gone...?"
"About 7 minutes...."
"Thanks Jamie....I owe you"
"Glad to know I'm of use...now your time starts....now"
