I looked through the crowd, he had to be here somewhere and something smelt fishy as well— you can call it a businessman's intuition.

I kept thinking about the look on Lisa's face and I felt guilty leaving her all by herself, then my mind flashed back to the young man who had asked her for a dance.

I clenched my fist and fought back the urge to excuse myself from the presence of these business tycoons and look for my wife, before these predators feed on her.

She had been so quiet all night, and I really hope she doesn't get any funny ideas about what Yura said earlier.

Maybe I should've explained to her and clarify that awkward situation Yura put me in.

But I immediately gave myself a mental slap, why do I care if she misunderstood the situation or not? Since when has others opinion being a concern of mine?

I cussed silently at the slow fondness that was creeping between Lisa and I, and I knew I had to put a stop to it before it's too late.

Yura was clearly tipsy. She's amazing at hold her whit when she's high, but tonight, she was losing her marbles making me wonder how much she had drink.

I was about to go look for Lisa when Yura whispered to my ears, "How about we take this party upstairs for the grand finale, huh?" she asked while wrapping her arms around my waist.

"Hmm, I would have really loved to have a word with Mr Gracía before I leave. After all I came all the way here just for him, don't you think I at least deserve that little?" I asked, milking my way to my mean aim for tonight.

Knowing Yura as much as I do, she would do absolutely anything to get what she wants at the end of the day. She is smart and bold, but when she's drunk, she can often get...well, easily manipulated.

She nodded and led me upstairs to her husband's chambers.

Mr Gracía took his time to answer the door and I caught a glimpse of him. I had wondered why he retired to bed so early when his party was far from over, and now I knew the reason.

Yura was not the least bit bothered that another woman was on her matrimonial bed, in fact she seemed so indifferent about it.

I couldn't help but wonder what would happen if it was Lisa who found me with another woman, open marriage or not.

At least he was courteous enough to have a word with me, so he led me straight into his study.

We didn't talk long, but he agreed to go into housing and hoteling business with me, if I agreed that there would be no competition with the offer when the time comes.

I guess for him, the older he gets, the warier competitions becomes.

He appreciated the fact that I considered him in the first place and thanked me for attending his party. We said our goodbyes and departed.

Yura who was waiting in the room opposite the study was still fixing herself more drinks regardless of how high she was already.

I walked up to her to assist her to her room when she informed me that she had stays in her own home few kilometers from the Gracía's mansion.

I guess that makes sense, maybe it was what was decided based on their open marriage agreement.

I can't imagine how awkward it would be passing Mr Gracía's room every night and hear moaning from him and his lover and vise versa. I chuckled at my wild imagination.

She confessed she wanted to spend more time with me, but I offered to call her a ride that would take her home, so she should call it a night and head home.
