After all, their victory at the competition was overwhelming.
Zoe didn’t hold back either, and poured herself a full glass while toasting Jay. "Sorry for being late, Mr. Parker. Bottom's up. "
Zoe chugged her glass right after she spoke, while Jay glanced at her before picking her glass and finishing it in one go.
Zoe remembered that he couldn’t hold his liquor.
Had he improved so much after they were just years apart?
Well, that had nothing to do with her anyway.
"I thought you were busy?" Jay asked nonchalantly.
"I was just finished," Zoe replied, not bothered to elaborate.
"Right." Jay didn’t ask anything further—it was just a polite exchange.
After they drank, Candice pulled Zoe along to start drinking with the others.
Though she was late, Zoe didn’t try to push them away. However, they were so intoxicated that they promptly joined in once Zoe offered them a toast.
And thus it was a massacre in under an hour, with some of them vomiting their stomachs out right then and there.
Zoe was actually a little surprised that the social drinking session was called off right then and there. Since she wasn’t drunk, she arranged rides for everyone.
These people were celebrities, no matter how far they were from the peak. And with 'Actors on Set' quickly gaining popularity, it was ultimately scandalous to let them be photographed in such a disgraceful state.
Once everyone was sent away safely, Zoe remembered that her bag was still at the bar and hurried to get it.
As she got in, she heard someone puking their guts out loudly in the washroom.
