[ In Jane's Subconscious… ]
Jane tried to calm herself down and gather her emotions. She couldn't think clearly if she would let her emotions affect her. She needed to clear her mind and figure out why her memory was showing Nathan's face.
'Wait. If he is not Nathan's long-lost twin brother, then I suspect that the leader of King Stallion used a hyper-realistic mask.' This idea came to her mind as she recalled the scheme Helena and Karina did to Dave and Abigail just to deceive them.
'Damn it! The King didn't let me see his true face! He is a master of disguise.' Jane cursed inwardly. Her heart was filled with rage. Now she couldn't blame Nathan for believing Monica when she stole her identity. Just like him, she believed Vincent's lies.
She felt ashamed of herself when she allowed herself to be deceived by the leader of King Stallion Mafia. 'He is very cunning. A dangerous man. What was his motive for approaching me? Why do I feel like my mission to assassinate the leader of King Stallion was just a trap?'
Jane's subconscious continued to replay some of her memories related to King.
Vincent smiled at her faintly. Then he asked her again. "May I see your face, Star?"
Unable to resist Vincent's charm, Jane finally gave in. She committed another mistake. Removing her mask was a sign that she started to trust him. The smile on Vincent's face never left as he watched Jane slowly take off her mask.
'She's indeed stunning,' Vincent thought to himself, his gaze fixed on her beautiful face. He reflexively raised his hand, reaching out to caress her cheek.

Unknown to them, one guard was secretly watching them as per the order of their Lady, Vincent's woman. He received an order from their young mistress to watch Vincent since she was not around. This banquet would be filled with so many women who would try to approach her man.
Without Vincent's knowledge, she commanded her loyal guard to spy on Vincent and report everything to her. She was one obsessed woman.
'Oh no! Our young mistress won't like this. I have to inform her. Her man is flirting with another woman.' The guard secretly took photos of Jane and Vincent, sending them to his Lady Boss.
Meanwhile, Jane tried to fight Vincent's temptation. She distanced herself from him. This was just their first time meeting each other, but Sizzling August was getting intimate with her. He kept invading her personal space.
"I have to go now." Jane was fighting her desire to be with Sizzling August. Part of her wanted to spend more time with him but she couldn't ignore the danger sign of staying there for long. She gatecrashed the party.
"Please… Let me send you back home," Vincent refused to let her go. He even grabbed her hand as he begged her.
"You are a very persistent guy. You disappeared and stopped contacting me. But now, you are sticking with me like glue." Jane scoffed at him.
Her last remarks made him chuckle once more. He loved talking with her. She was hot and cold. "How can I not stick with you? You are like a goddess. The most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my entire life."
Jane's eyebrows twitched together in a deep frown. "I didn't know that you have a sweet tongue. This is not your personality. This is so unlike you. Are you really Sizzling August?" Jane started to doubt him again because of his playful and flirty attitude. Sizzling August had never done this before. He was always serious, except for teasing her whenever she would lose against him.
Vincent bit his lower lip instantly when he realized his mistake. He should be pretending to be Nathan. But he couldn't help showing his playful attitude with her.
Vincent tried to redeem himself as he put on a serious face. His cheeky smile was long gone. "I'm sorry. I'm just nervous because this is our first time meeting each other. I am trying to impress you. I'm not good at dealing with women."
Jane recalled that Nathan also told her this in their chats. Nathan told her that she was his first-ever friend who was a woman. He never interacted with women before.
As Jane remembered that, she couldn't stop herself from giggling. Her soft giggles bubbled up in the garden, making Vincent's heart skip again. Her laughter was like a piece of music in his ears. It was a pure laughter.
"Okay. Let's leave." Jane finally agreed to let Vincent send her home tonight.
Vincent's eyes lit up when he heard that. "Sure."
He grabbed her hand once more and pulled her toward the parking area. He would drive the car himself. He glanced at his men meaningfully, telling them to stay behind.
Upon reaching his sports car, he opened the car door for Jane.
"Wow, I like your car," Jane said with amusement.
Vincent chuckled before saying, "I can give you this one."
Jane blinked her eyes several times, looking at her in disbelief. "Are you flexing your wealth to me?"
"No! I just want to impress you, my Lady!" Vincent cheerfully responded as he pinched her nose.
"Hey! Don't pinch my nose!" Jane punched him as she complained.
"Ouch! You punch so hard, do you know that?" Vincent put on a pitiful face, pretending to be hurt.
Jane could only sigh helplessly. "Don't be so dramatic. Let's go." She entered the car without waiting for him. But she chose the driver's side, not the passenger seat.
"Oops! That's my spot, my Lady!" Vincent scratched his face as he looked at her with disbelief. "I'm your driver tonight," he added.

"For goodness's sake, you are wearing heels." Vincent was trying to recover his original spot from her. But Jane was so stubborn. She wouldn't let him drive.
Vincent had no choice but to gently pull her out of the driver's seat. But Jane tugged his hands forcefully, making Vincent fall forward. They ended up bumping their heads at each other.
"Ouch!"
"Oh. I'm sorry!" Vincent immediately checked on her forehead, ignoring his own head. He gently rubbed her and blew some air at her reddened forehead. Jane's body stiffened because of their closeness.
It did not take long before Vincent also realized how close their bodies and faces were. He looked down and his eyes fell on her lips. Her lips were red and kissable, tempting him to taste them. He was supposed to flirt with her and take the lead. But for some unknown reason, he was the one getting affected by her presence. He should control himself.
'Vincent. Stop. Take it easy. You are going to scare her away.' He reminded himself.
But his warning didn't take effect as he could no longer stop his desire. Jane looked so alluring that he couldn't resist her beauty. She was like a magnet drawing him closer to her.
"Why are you so gorgeous?" Vincent whispered sensually, his eyes not leaving her lips. His hand started to lift her chin, his thumb caressing her lower lip. Desire could be seen in Vincent's eyes as he looked at her intently.
Jane was about to say something when suddenly Vincent sealed her mouth, capturing her lips with his lips. She was flabbergasted when she felt his warm lips brushing hers. She felt like he was taking advantage of her innocence. This was her first time to be kissed by a guy.
As her protective instinct kicked in, Jane threw a punch, hitting Vincent in his stomach. He groaned and drew back, breaking the kiss. Unknown to them, that kiss was captured again by the guard who kept on spying on them.
"How dare you kiss me?!" Jane kicked him out of the car. Then she covered her lips, eyeing Vincnet with her blazing eyes.
Vincent was still trying to recover from that impact when he met Jane's angry eyes.
"Hey, calm down. Don't tell me that's your first kiss?" Vincent asked her skeptically.
Jane didn't answer him but her expression alone already gave away the answer. Vincent felt amused as he stared at her. He didn't know if he should say sorry or not. But part of him was rejoicing thinking that he was the first guy who kissed her.
Jane, on the other hand, slammed the door closed and started the car, leaving Vincent behind. She was annoyed because she failed to avoid Vincent's bold move. In the end, she went home alone.
Vincent could only watch the speeding car until it vanished from his sight. He traced his lips as he reminisced the softness of her lips, his eyes sparkling with joy. 'What an amusing woman she is? This is so fun. I love playing with her.' Vincent let out a husky laugh.
