Chapter 247 - Let Me Hug You

Micaela grabbed Renz's arm, pulling him in the middle of the dance floor. They joined the crowd. She was wearing her knee-length casual party dress that was enough to reveal some of her skin.

She started to sway her body with the beat of the music. She put her arms on Renz's shoulders, facing him while staring directly into his eyes.

She put on a seductive smile as she danced in front of him. Renz just stood in his spot, watching Micaela's movement. She was enticing him, touching him on his chest while she flaunted her hot sexy body.

She was like dancing a pole dance and Renz served as her pole. Micaela moved closer to him, gently brushing her soft body with his body until her breasts were pressing his sturdy chest.

Maybe because of the alcohol he already drank that his body reacted quickly with Micaela's touch. He felt like his body was burning hot.

Renz was already tipsy. The loud noise, the smell of sweats, and the crowd were making him more drunk. His mind was no longer clear as he started to hallucinate, seeing Selene in front of him.

He missed her. He longed for her that's why his mind started imagining that Micaela was Selene. This was the only way he could forget about the pain and sadness of breaking up with Selene.

Renz started caressing Micaela's face. She gazed up to meet his eyes. She saw Renz's eyes become misty while looking at her.

It did not take long when Renz mumbled the words "I love you." thinking it was Selene he was talking to right now.

Micaela stopped dancing. Though the venue was so loud, she still understood his words by reading his lips.

'Renz just told me… he loves me? Is it true? Am I imagining things?' Micaela was stunned for a few moments, just staring at him.

It did not take long when she flashed her charming smile. She raised her hands to cup Renz's face. The two were about to kiss, their faces were inching closer and closer to each other.

However, before their lips could touch each other, someone suddenly bumped into Micaela, 'accidentally' pouring a drink on her dress thus interrupting the kiss from happening.

Micaela gasped as she felt the coldness of her wet dress.

"Oh my gosh, I'm sorry Miss. Someone pushed me so I bumped into you and accidentally poured my drinks on your dress," Alexa apologized using her top-notch acting skills.

She looked very apologetic. She even brushed Micaela's wet dress using her hands. Micaela was looking dagger at her. She was glaring because the moment was ruined because of her 'carelessness'.

She wanted to shout and scold Alexa big time but she tried to control her temper since Renz was in front of her.

"Oh, it's alright. No need to apologize. I know it's not your intention. I'm just fine," Micaela said half-heartedly while flashing her fake smile.

Alexa rejoiced inwardly as she could see that Micaela was very pissed by her. She knew that she was also putting on an act, looking sweet and kind in front of Renz.

"Here Miss, you can use my jacket. Oh, I think you should go to the bathroom. You look like a mess right now with your wet dress."

Alexa was trying to separate Micaela from Renz. Arthur noticed the two ladies talking while Renz didn't move as he was still lost in his fantasy of Selene. Being heartbroken was not a joke. The pain could make you insane sometimes.

"Ladies, what's happening here?" Arthur said, butting in.

"I'm sorry. It's my fault. I ruined her dress," Alexa apologized to Arthur.

Arthur was taken aback when he saw Alexa's face. Though she had wronged Micaela, he couldn't bring himself to scold a beautiful woman like her.

"Oh, don't worry about that. I have a solution for that. I knew the owner of this club. There are also some party clothes here for women. I can ask the owner to let Micaela wear a dress." Arthur said, impressing the two ladies using his so-called connections.

Alexa gave Arthur a grateful smile. It seemed that Arthur would help her take away Micaela.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Handsome. You just saved us tonight. Could you please help her find a new dress or else I would feel guilty the whole night for ruining her dress," Alexa softly said, grabbing Arthur's hand?

"Alright, I can do that but in one condition, you should dance with me once I return!"

Alexa just bobbed her head in agreement while flashing her seductive smile.

"Come, Micaela! You have to change your wet clothes or else you might catch a cold." Arthur extended his arm to Micaela. 

Micaela accepted it and turned to Renz.

"Renz, wait for me. I will just change my clothes," Micaela said before leaving.

Alexa heaved a sigh of relief when Arthur and Micaela disappeared from her sight. When they were gone, she grabbed the opportunity to take Renz.

Without saying anything, Alexa grabbed Renz's hand and forcibly pulled him out of the club. They had to leave now before Micaela and Arthur came back.

Renz was just following her obediently as he could still see Selene in her. He thought Selene was the one pulling his hand right now.

Without wasting any more time, Alexa brought Renz to the parking area where her car was being parked.

"Renz, get inside now," Alexa said, opening the door of the front passenger seat. Renz was still holding her hand, not wanting to let go.

"Renz…?"

Alexa was about to repeat her words when Renz abruptly pulled her into a hug. He was now hugging her tightly. 

Alexa's eyes widened in surprise. She didn't expect that Renz would suddenly hug her.

'Is he already drunk?' Alexa pondered to herself.

She was about to struggle and push him away when Renz spoke up.

"Please stay still. I just want to hug you. Please let me hug you for a while," Renz mumbled with his pleading voice.

After hearing the helplessness and sadness in his voice, Alexa didn't have the heart to refuse him so she just let him hug her.
