Chapter 278

Jabco slowly set his glass down on the table. The sound was soft, but to him it felt loud. He stood up. “Where?” he asked, his voice calm but cold. Shina pointed toward the railing. “Ground floor. Near the bar counter.” Rogan straightened. “Jabco, relax. Maybe it’s just...” But Jabco was already walking. He didn’t say another word. As he reached the railing, he placed both hands on it and looked down. The bar below was crowded. People moving, laughing, lights flashing. His eyes scanned the room once, twice.... Then he saw her. Riyana was standing near the counter, a glass in her hand. She was smiling. Not the polite smile she used at work. A real one,Soft,Free. She was wearing a simple dress, nothing flashy, but it fit her perfectly. Her hair was loose, framing her face in a way he had never seen before. And beside her stood a man. Too close. The man leaned in slightly as he spoke. Riyana laughed at something he said, her head tilting back just a little. Something inside Jabco snapped.
