Come With Me novel Chapter 71

Xenia also looked curious. If I couldn't make up a reasonable explanation, it would be hard for me to get away with drinking today.

"I will take strangers as my friends."

My clumsy explanation is really not convincing.

Xenia even didn't ask for my permission and opened a bottle of beer for me and said, "It's not a big deal. Only we are here today. It doesn't matter if you recognize the wrong person. Drink with me. I've been fed up the past two days. Let's take it out on each other, okay?"

Xenia gave me the opened beer while she said.

However, my heart was even more scared when I heard these words from Rogelio. He said to me with a smile, "It doesn't matter. I'm not allowed to drink now. I'll look at you to make sure that you won't be abducted by strangers."

I was holding a can of beer in my hand, not knowing what to do.

I looked at Robbie for help unconsciously, but he simply turned his head, picked up the beer that he had never drunk and took a sip.

Xenia cheered with me and raised her head to drink. "If you don't drink, you won't take me as your friend."

I bit my lips. I could only tell myself that it wouldn't matter if I drank a little.

The music started and Vann sang a song.

Xenia was also good at drinking, so after a short while, she had already finished two bottles of beer and ran up to Vann to sing with him.

I was persuaded to take more than one bottle of beer. When Xenia went to sing, I breathed a sigh of relief secretly.

It was not until now that I realized that Robbie and Rogelio had been sitting very close to each other. Both of them looked at the two people who were singing. When the two people waved their hands to us, they would smile and applaud rhythmically, but in fact, they were talking about something about themselves.

"I've almost arranged everything in the company. You can officially take office next week," said Robbie to Rogelio

"In fact, you don't have to be in such a hurry."

Robbie took a drag on his cigarette. "What should we wait for?"

"I've been in a coma for more than a year. It's so hard for you. I've read the financial statements. Everything is very good."

After spitting out a mouthful of smoke, Robbie said nothing.

"Stay in the company and manage it with me."

"No need."

"Do you still blame me?"

"We are good buddies. There is no need to talk about this topic which is past."

Rogelio looked at Robbie, asked, "Is that really the past?"

"If you must say that there is something hasn't past, I hope you can leave her. She is not a good choice for you," said Robbie, looking directly into Rogelio's eyes.

Rogelio took a deep breath and said, "You haven't let it go yet!"

Instead of going on with this topic, Robbie looked at me and pointed at me who was an eavesdropping. "In fact, I think such a fool like her is more suitable for you."

Rogelio thought Robbie was making a joke. "Don't make fun of Jasmine," Rogelio said.

Rogelio looked at me and smiled at me. He explained for Robbie, "Don't listen to him."

Right then, Xenia, who had just finished a song, ran up to us and said, "Hey, you three! What's up? Come and sing a song. What do you want to sing?"

"I can't sing. Forget it."

Xenia didn't listen to me. She pulled me out of the seat and said, "You're so boring. If I ask you to do something, you'll just refuse. Even if you can't sing, what's the matter if you cry loudly over the headset? We should have a good attitude to play when we come out to play."

Vann handed me a wheat, "Come on, let's forget the past. For the past generation, we should not shoulder the responsibility."

I looked at Vann, and he beckoned me to take over the microphone from his hand. I understand what he meant in his words. In fact, I know that I have no reason to be against him on the matter of my father.
