Chapter 39
The alcohol was strong, and when Eloise downed it in one go, her throat burned painfully. She glanced at Quincey and knew that she was already drunk but still simpled to drink more
She took a deep breath, about to reach for the second glass, but was stopped by Maireen.
“Eloise, take a look at this occasion and look at who’s here. You’re still drinking for her. Who do you seriously think you are?” Maureen said cruelly.
Jack frowned. “You shouldn’t say that, We’re all friends here,”
“Friends have their differences. Someone like them? Don’t go around saying they’re my friends. I’d be embarrassed!”
“Eloise, sorry, but there’s just no seat for you here. Why don’t you go outside and drink? My treat,” Sophia spoke with a gentle, kind tone.
But the words were full of humiliation.
“det nut!” Jacob said bluntly.
Eloise bit her lip hard. “Quincey, let’s go ”
She helped Quincey to leave, but Quincey pushed her away and grabbed another glass. “Mr. Robinson, I toast to you…
She was dizzy, barely able to see, and ended up toasting to the fruit table beside her. As she was about to drink, Eloise stepped in and grabbed the glass from her, turning to toast Liam.
“Mr. Robinson, I’ll drink this for her. Please forgive her.”
With that, she drank it all in one go.
“Eloise! You don’t understand human words, do you…..”
Maureen saw Liam stand up before she finished spealong.
He picked up a glass and clinked it with Eloise’s empty glass, then drank it all…
“How could not drink when a beautiful lady toasts me?”
Liam’s gaze was deep, with a smile full of meaning. He was famous for being difficult to please, no matter who it was. Earlier, Maureen and Sophia had taken rums to toast him, but he hadn’t taken a sip.
“Cheers to you!” Liam said, putting down the empty glass and picking up a tall one, drinking it all himself.
Eloise felt he was a bit strange, but since he was being polite, she naturally had to accept it. She quickly grabbed another glass. Just as she was about to drink, Jacob approached
“She can’t handle her alcohol. I’ll drink for her.”
Seeing him streich his hand out, Eloise dodged and drank it all herselt.
Jacob’s face darkened, and he said while suppressing his anger, “stop embarrassing yourself. Just get out.”
Eloise furrowed her brows. “What’s wrong with you? It’s none of your business even if I’m embarrassing myself.
You’re embarrassing ine!TM
“If you’re sick, poser a doctor. Don’t disgust me.
“You!”
Jarob took a deep breath and stood in front of Eloise, then looked at Liam “She’s not important. Let’s continue our conversation.” “But i like talking to Ms. Sullivan Liam raised an eyebrow and smiled.
‘s not in our ride.”
“What circle are we inf
Jacob pressed his lips together. It was clear Liani was fr
trying to stir things up.
“Mr. Sommers, could you please add i wo more
ore seats for these ladies?” Liam said to Jack.
Jack glanced at Jacob and nodded. “sure. I’ll go get the chairs.”
Not only did le add seats for Hoise and Chilcey, but he also arranged for Eloise to sit next to him. Jacob stared at them with a dark expression.
Sophila nudged him and similed. “Mr. Robinson, let me introduce them. They’re our university classmates. This is culcey Leowe, who used to be an actress, and This is Eloane hullivan, a doctor.”
Liam took the initiative to shake hands. First, he shook hairy’s hand, leaving her in a daze. Then he shook Eloise’s hand, clearly tightening his grip.
Eloise frowned and immediately pulled her hand away as she felt his hand was huming.
Liam stifled a chuckle. “Dr. Sullivan, if you dare sit here, your’d better be prepared.”
