"Stop fooling around!" Sadie clung to him, her voice laced with worry. "I went to your private room, and they said there was a death last night. I thought it was you. And that wealthy woman's check bounced. What really happened last night?"

"Let's get out of here first."

Micah ushered her out through a back exit.

Just as the bodyguards of those wealthy women were closing in, Andrew sent them flying with a well-placed kick.

As they stepped out of the club, the thumping bass of the club gradually faded away, replaced by the soothing quiet of the evening.

"I was wrong yesterday," Sadie rushed to apologize. "I shouldn't have left you with those rich women. Are you all right?"

Without a word, Micah simply made a gesture towards the approaching bodyguards.

They promptly retreated.

"Are you still mad at me? I promise I won't treat you like that again..." Sadie pleaded, tugging at his sleeve. "Mr. Male Escort, you'll forgive me, right?"

Micah's brow furrowed. "Change the address!"

"I don't even know your real name though," Sadie protested. As he propelled her forward, she inquired, "Where are you taking me?"

With a flick of his wrist, Micah signaled Andrew, who tossed the keys of the Aston Martin his way.

Micah caught it with a backhand, then opened the car door and let Sadie in.

"Is this your car?" Sadie gasped. "This beauty must be worth a fortune! How on earth can you afford such a luxury? Don't tell me you're some bored trust fund baby moonlighting as a male escort for kicks." Micah shot her a withering look. "You really do have an overactive imagination."

"So, what's the story?" Sadie's curiosity was piqued. "Is it from a client?"

"Yeah, you could say that," Micah muttered, struggling to come up with a plausible explanation, but she was already filling in the gaps.

"So, aside from your male escort gig, you've also got rich sugar mamas lined up?" Sadie was convinced by her deduction. "No wonder last time..."

She trailed off, biting her lip to prevent herself from blurting out the sight of him stepping out of a Rolls-Royce Phantom.

The triplets had been with her that day, and although he probably hadn't noticed them, it was best not to risk revealing the secret. "Hmm?" Micah started the car, pulling away from the curb.

"How many sugar mamas do you have?" Sadie inquired.

Micah arched an eyebrow. "One is more than enough work, and you want me to juggle several?"

'Seems like a very wealthy one,' Sadie thought. 'With a Rolls-Royce Phantom and an Aston Martin, this sugar mama must be quite the catch!' "What's with you?" Micah's voice was laced with condescension as he cast a dismissive look at Sadie's tousled hair and reddened eyes.

"Well, sorry," Sadie sniffled, swiping at her tears with a crumpled tissue. Frustration edged into her tone as she replied. "I've had the worst day. Almost got run over on my way to work, fell and got a bruise on my butt, and scraped my hand." "Then I got punished with cleaning the swimming pool on the top floor and ended up soaked. What's more, some creep tried to harass me, and now I've got my hair yanked from the scuffle tonight..."

"Ah, that's just divine retribution for your wrongdoings," Micah gloated, reveling in the idea that Sadie's misfortune was a just punishment for her misdeeds the previous night.

"What?!" Sadie bristled, indignation flaring. "It's all because of my sadistic boss! You have no idea how deranged he is. His driver nearly mowed me down, and instead of an apology, I got a glare that could freeze lava.

"And when I was cleaning the pool, he tossed his ring in on purpose and made me fetch it. The water was so cold that I was almost frozen.

"I've done nothing to him! I can't figure out why he's treating me this way. I swear the man must have had a miserable childhood and has psychological issues. That's the only explanation for his cruelty..." Upon hearing these words, Micah's expression darkened. He took a sharp turn, accelerating the car.

The car executed a sudden swerve, catching Sadie off guard. With a loud sound, her head banged against the car window...
