Her Seven Little Bodyguards novel Chapter 860

Chapter 860

When the dinner finally ended, he was a little tipsy after the amount of alcohol he had imbibed.

"What's up with you, Thomas?" Bryan didn't know what had gotten over the man as he watched Thomas stagger around. So, he hurriedly went forward to help the clearly drunk man.

"I'm fine."

Thomas waved his hand. He could handle his alcohol well, so he knew he wouldn't be drunk from just a few bottles of beer. However, it wasn't the alcohol that made him feel intoxicated, but his thoughts.

Bryan furrowed his brows in confusion as he had never seen Thomas become drunk during a friendly gathering. "How are you fine when you can't even walk straight?"

To his knowledge, Thomas was an excellent drinker and very rarely got drunk. Besides, he really didn't have a lot to drink today.

Thomas merely flashed him a bitter smile as he explained, "I'm fine, really. The food was too spicy today, so I had a little more to drink. However, I'm much more overjoyed than drunk today, so I just feel a little dizzy."

Next to them, Liam snorted inwardly as he listened in. So he's using this as an excuse again, huh? I don't think he even had a bite of spicy food today.

Despite that, he didn't expose Thomas and spoke up, "Bryan, send Jennifer home. I'll send him home."

Everyone else is already paired up, but I'm the only single person. So who else should I send but him?

Thomas was still sober at the moment, so he waved Liam off. "It's alright, Liam. I can get home by myself."

Frankly, he didn't want to go home yet and wanted to continue drinking elsewhere to vent his frustrations.

He reckoned that he would die in bitterness if he couldn't vent his feelings today.

Nevertheless, Liam clearly didn't want him to be on his own. "I can't sleep in peace at night if I allow you to leave like this. So stop being stubborn, and let me drop you home."

Only an immature person will drown his sorrows with alcohol. So why can't he understand this point as an adult? Liam lamented.

But Thomas didn't understand his well-meaning intentions and dismissed him again. "Just get the driver to drop me home."

He didn't want Liam to witness the mess that was his emotions. Liam could only sigh in his heart, Vania could tell that something was amiss if we continued to argue like this.

Hence, he stopped the charade with Thomas and whispered, "Don't think that I can't tell you're in a bad mood. You can do whatever you want after I drop you home, but don't lose your composure in front of them."

Liam didn't define exactly who he meant by saying 'them'. Therefore, there was a brief moment where Thomas couldn't tell if he meant Vania or Hanson.

Nevertheless, the instant Liam's words registered in his mind, his cloudy eyes became clear. Then, he gave Liam a once-over, trying to learn just what gave him away and how much Liam knew.

Liam met his eyes and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, I've never been one to shoot my mouth off."

Nobody knew if Thomas trusted Liam, but after Liam's words, he stopped being stubborn and nodded in agreement.

"I'll have to trouble you to drop me home then, Liam."

"You're welcome," Liam said with a grin.

After that, Thomas flashed everyone else a smile. "I accidentally drank too much today. I'm so sorry, but I'll buy everyone dinner next time as an apology."

"Sure!" Bryan didn't know what was going on with him, but he was thrilled to hear that there would be another gathering. "The filming of our drama will be finished the day after tomorrow. So I'll leave it to you, Thomas."

Thomas only made a polite suggestion and didn't think he would be treating them so soon. But he had already come this far, and it would be odd if he refused, so he said, "Okay, we'll meet when you're free."
