" Are you sure you're OK? "

She heard Joei asked her, interrupting her already cloudy thoughts.

Psyche's eyebrows met in the middle, she was frowning in space, when she finally turned her head to the other woman.

" I don't want to spit out sarcasm, Freak. Though, I really feel sending you one now. "

Joei got that part. She knew that when Psyche's tone being an a-hole to her, something and someone stole that angelic restraint out from her. She wondered what did she miss this time.

" I am listening, bitch. What. "

She said while sipping that expensive whiskey that Daniel passed to her a few minutes ago. They were seated on the highest part of the palace from where they have the luxury of the view of what's going on below them. They can watch everyone and everything from here, without those rich people garbed in pricey gowns and tuxedos even noticing them.

Jake approached their table earlier, while she was still waiting for Psyche. She was specifically told that they have a special table in the palace and that the madame of the house will be waiting for her there. Joei was hesitant at first. She can't trust these mammoths unless Psyche gave her directions. But the large guy was obviously not taking a 'No' for an answer.

The minute Joei stepped inside the palace for the very first time in her life, she honestly forgot to shut her mouth close out of real astonishment. It was an understatement to say that she stopped to absorb the high ceilings painted with white and gold while being supported by massive pillars with convoluted designs etched on them, and an enormous chandelier hanging just on top of the grand staircase. It felt like being inside Disney's Beauty and the Beast type of setting that she was expecting gold cups and candle holders watching her every move. But it was just her. The place was void of enough furniture to even call it home. She can even hear her pace reverberating as she took slow steps up on the marbled wide stairs, while Jake and Daniel walked behind her.
