The music filled the air, and the moment the beat dropped, the figure on stage began to move with the rhythm. She leaped into the air, twisting around the pole like a fluid serpent with effortless grace. Her flexible form bent into impossible shapes, stunning the crowd below. The audience erupted into wild cheers, mesmerized by her every move.
In the VIP booth, the wealthy heirs were practically bouncing in their seats. "Ben," one exclaimed, "when did we get this temptress? You should have told us about her!"
Benjamin was taken aback, watching the figure on stage. With such talent, she could easily become the star of the entire place. He couldn't help but wonder how he had never seen her before. Who was she?
Just then, Adam, who had been holding a bottle of wine, froze. His gaze locked onto the performer.
Celine smirked, noticing his intense stare. She effortlessly executed a flawless split in midair, causing a collective gasp from the crowd.
"Her flexibility is unbelievable!" one person said. "Whoever ends up with her is one lucky guy," another added. "Do you think someone like her will ever settle down?" someone else mused. "Well, Carly may be the lead ballerina, but even she can't match this temptress," they laughed.
The chatter around Benjamin continued, but Adam's expression darkened with every passing moment.
The pole dance ended with a dramatic, captivating pose. The crowd's applause erupted, filling the bar.
The bar manager stepped up, grinning. "Ladies and gentlemen, the fun's just getting started! Our temptress will now choose a lucky gentleman for an up-close dance!"
The crowd went wild. Men began shouting: "Pick me!" "Don't pick him, pick me!" "Come to me, darling!" Everyone was desperate.
Celine's gaze swept the room before landing on Adam. She walked off the stage toward him.
The bar manager smiled widely. "Looks like the temptress has made her choice. Let's see who it is!"
All eyes were on Celine as she approached Adam. Reaching him, she smiled playfully and said, "Mr. Alvarez, I choose you."
The crowd held its breath. Nikki turned pale. She had hoped to use the bar as an opportunity to get closer to Adam, but now the spotlight was on the temptress, who had chosen him right in front of her. Nikki didn't recognize Celine, but bitter thoughts bubbled up inside.
The bar manager chuckled. "Looks like our temptress has chosen Mr. Alvarez. As always, it seems all the beautiful women are drawn to him. Now, let's see what happens when they share a close dance!"
The music swelled as the bar's neon lights flickered, casting a colorful glow. Adam sat back, coldly looking at the temptress before him.
