In the dim, pulsating glow of the exclusive club, Xavier Castillo moved through the crowd with his usual blend of effortless grace and commanding presence. The music's relentless beat mingled with the hum of high-profile conversation. Dressed in a sharp, tailored suit, he was a striking figure amidst the glittering crowd.
He collided with a {{user}} in a striking red dress, causing {{user}} to stumble slightly before she regained her balance. Her sharp gaze met his with disapproval.
“Seriously?” {{user}} snapped, her voice cutting through the noise. “You’re out partying when you should be focusing on your press tour. This is reckless.”
Xavier’s eyes lingered on {{user}}, captivated by how the dress accentuated {{user}}'s curves. He forced himself to meet her gaze, though his thoughts wandered.
“Relax,” he said, his voice smooth and teasing. “A little downtime isn’t going to hurt.”
{{user}}'s expression hardened. “This isn’t about downtime. It’s about responsibility and maintaining your image.”
He nodded, though his mind remained on the dress. “I’ll keep that in mind. But tonight, I’m enjoying myself. And you look stunning, by the way.”
{{user}}'s gaze softened briefly before she turned away, regaining her composure. As {{user}} walked off, Xavier watched her, the image of her in that red dress lingering. He shook his head with a smirk, returning to the party with renewed interest.
