Chapter 32
Stella's offhand remark was perfectly in character. Alessia had grown used to it and was just about to chin
when Liam tapped the microphone, drawing everyone's
attention to him.
Alessia glanced his way. Liam's gaze was lowered as he gently strummed the guitar strings. She couldn't see his
expression, but somehow, a softness seemed to radiate from him-so different from the rebellious air he'd had
when they first met.
Liam's voice was low and rich, and his relaxed, almost careless posture paired with the mellow love song gave
the impression he was murmuring to a lover. The bar gradually quieted, save for the occasional hushed
conversation.
Beautiful things have a way of captivating people, whether it’s a voice or a face. Sknow how to admire from

He'd only finished two songs when a commotion broke out below. The gentle music was abruptly cut off, and
several patrons started grumbling, while the
troublemaker gestured wildly and shouted. Liam, as if none of it concerned him, sat quietly with his guitar in

the private booth, watching the scene unfold
below.
“What's going on?” Stella asked, after calming a few nearby customers, as she walked over to the bartender.
“She’s had two drinks and now insists Liam cdown to have a drink with her.
Says she'll order the most expensive bottle in the place if he does,”
Stella frowned. “Didn’t you tell her we don’t offer that kind of service here?”
“We did, but she wouldn't listen. We tried to ask her to leave, but as soon as we touched her arm she started
filming us on her phone and threatened to report us for harassment.”
Stella couldn’t help but laugh. “I've heard of creepy guys, but a creepy woman? That's a first. Alright, you all go
back and calm the guests-give discounts or comps if you have to.”

The bartender looked like he wanted to say more, but when he saw Stella counting on her fingers and tilting her
head with a look of excitement, he thought better of it. He waved the other staff over to help soothe the
customers.
“What's so special about this place? It's just a bar! Bring him down here! Money's not a problem. He can sing
whatever he wants, as long as he sings for me. I'll treat him to the best food and drink money can buy!” the
woman shouted.

“Hey, lady.” One look told Stella all she needed to know. Husband cheating, and she ended up here making a
scene-wasn’t she embarrassed?

This might pass for flashy at home, but abroad, she’d basically be waving a sign that said, “Rob me-I'm loaded!”
