He always thought that people from the entertainment circle were supposed to be more tactful.
Zoe was clearly an exception, being so straight-talking in nature.
"I'll do my best to satisfy everyone," Patrick promised eagerly.
"It's not important whether we are satisfied. What matters most is whether Cordy is satisfied."
"I'm pretty satisfied," Cordy said.
"Tsk tsk, starting with some public displays of affection already, aren't we?" Zoe teased.
Cordy blushed, and Patrick felt rather shy too.
Things looked pretty good between the two of them.
"Drinks tonight?" Zoe suggested.
"I'm good with that," Patrick said bravely.
"Sounds like you hold your liquor well?"
"Not too bad." Patrick did not bother acting humble, and Cordy did not stop him.
A fall into a pit, a gain in your wit, after all.
With Zoe around, the atmosphere around the table fired up in no time.
Zoe was in a pretty good mood and drank quite a bit.
Jay could not take alcohol so all he did was to sit at the side and pour alcohol for Zoe while occasionally softly reminding Zoe not to drink so much.
Zoe used her ability to drink like a fish as an excuse to dismiss Jay's reminders.
Of course, the words from Zoe that effectively shut Jay up were, "With you around, I don't even need to fear Hades."
That filled Jay with confidence.
After a few rounds of drinks, Cordy needed to go to the washroom.
Zoe was still putting down shots with Patrick around the table, while Quinn was simply keeping them company.
After Cordy was done with the washroom, she saw Jay waiting outside for her.
Cordy was not surprised to see him.
She took the hint and walked to the balcony in the private room.
