Chapter 142 Sweetie and Honey

She stood and tried the door. It wouldn't budge.

“Who's there?” she asked sharply.

There was no response, only the faint sound of retreating footsteps.

She instinctively reached for her phone, only to realize her purse was with Lucien, and her phone was inside it.

Kaia glanced up, sizing the height of the partition. Maybe if she climbed onto the toilet, she could-

A sudden rush of ice-cold water poured down from above, soaking her from head to toe.

Whoever had done it was already gone. She could hear them running off.

In the private room, Calvin spotted Lucien walking in. “There he is! Man, took you long enough.”

He handed Lucien a drink. “You are late. Take the first shot.”

Lucien raised a brow and gave the small, glittering clutch in his hand a little shake. “Can’t drink tonight.”

Calvin frowned, “Con, Lucien. We said no girlfriends

tonight.”

Lucien gave a light, dismissive laugh, and then said, “You said no girlfriends. You didn’t say anything about

wives.”

Calvin swore under his breath.

Shameless bastard.

But since Kaia was already here, kicking her out wasn’t exactly an option.

“Where is she?”

Lucien checked the time. It had been over ten minutes.

He set the purse down and stood. “I'll go check on her.”

Inside the restroom, Kaia’s voice was going hoarse from shouting. “Is anyone out there? Can someone please

open the door?”

But the thumping bass from the club drowned her out. No one heard her.

Kaia clenched her jaw and started kicking at the door, over and

over.

Outside, Lucien heard the muffled banging coming from the ladies’ room.

He grabbed the door handle and called out, “Sweetie, are you in there?”

That one word-sweetie-felt like salvation. Kaia’s heart leapt.

“Yeah, honey, I'm here!” she shouted.

It wasn’t until after the words left her mouth that she realized

what she’d just called him.

Lucien’s eyes darkened, and he strode straight toward her voice.

“Sweetie, which stall are you in?”

“The second one!”

He spotted a mop handle wedged tightly against the stall door, clearly placed there on purpose. He kicked it

aside in one swift move. “Try it now,” he said gently. “You should be able to open

ie.”

Kaia turned the lock and pulled the door open. The moment she saw him, she flung herself into his arms.

“I was calling for so long. No one answered.” Her voice was soft, a little breathy, with a trace of a whimper-

almost like she was pouting.

Lucien felt a sharp pull in his gut.

He swallowed hard. “I'm sorry. | should've csooner.”

He pulled back slightly, his hands on her shoulders as he scanned her from head to toe. “Who did this?”

Kaia shook her head. “I don’t know. They never said a word.”

She looked down at her soaked dress and dripping hair. “What do | do now?”

She couldn't exactly walk into the party like this.

Lucien gently tucked a damp strand of hair behind her ear. “I'll have someone bring you a change of clothes. You

need to get cleaned up or you'll catch a cold.”

Upstairs, in one of the hotels luxury suites, the sound of running water cfrom the bathroom.

Lucien sat back on the couch, eyes closed, trying to stay calm.

But the damp fabric clinging to his shirt, and the memory of how she'd felt against him moments ago, made it

impossible to think straight.

The image burned in his mind. He wanted to lock her in his arms, feel her melt into him, take every inch of her

for himself.

His gaze darkened, heat pooling beneath the surface.

A slow smile tugged at his lips. “What happened to ‘thanks, honey”?”

Her hand vanished, and the door slammed shut in his face.

She didn’t answer.

Inside, Kaia clutched the dress to her chest, heart pounding like

crazy.

Did | really call him honey?

Oh God... she had.

But if it had been a slip of the tongue, then what about him?

This was the second the'd called her sweetie.

Kaia took forever to get dressed. She couldn’t bring herself to meet his eyes.

“All set?” he asked.

She gave a quick nod. “Yeah.”

She pretended not to hear the teasing in his voice. Lucien didn’t push it either.

“I just got word from security. They pulled the footage.”

Kaia’s expression turned cold. “Who did it?”
