Chapter 34 Drinking

Contest 1

Ryan was relentless. ‘If you can outdrink me, I’ll…‘

He glanced around. ‘I’ll strip naked and streak through this place!‘

‘Ryan!‘ Micah warned in a low voice. ‘Stop this madness! Let’s go!‘

Ryan ignored his friend. ‘But if you lose, you’ll kneel to Micah here and apologise!”

‘What do I have to apologise for?‘ Darya was unfazed.

‘For tricking him into marriage, for ditching him for another rich man, for being a gold–digger!” Ryan was confident he could win.

He had been observing Darya for a while now.

She seldom touched her drink.

After almost an hour at the club, she was still nursing her first glass of red wine.

Ryan jutted out his chin. ‘What do you say? Do you dare to accept my challenge?‘

Darya looked from Ryan to Micah, who said nothing.

Did Micah put Ryan up to this?

What was he trying to pull?

She thought she had made it perfectly clear that she wanted nothing more to do with Micah.

Ironically, she’d seen him more times in the eight weeks since they divorced than in the past year altogether. Micah caught her scornful look and knew she must have misunderstood.

Feeling the familiar headache coming back, he slapped a hand on Ryan’s back. ‘Stop making a fool of yourself.

Let’s go!‘

‘No!‘ Ryan stood his ground stubbornly.

Ryan didn’t wait for Darya to say no.

Grabbing a bottle of opened wine from the table, he filled two glasses.

He tilted his head and tossed back the first glass in one long gulp.

His face, already red, turned a shade deeper.

Ryan thumped the empty glass on the table and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand.

Then he glared at Darya. ‘Your turn!‘

Micah inhaled deeply.

He’d only agreed to come to The Hideout because Ryan begged him to.

His plan was to wait for his friend to blow off some steam, then go home and work through a proposal.

Chapter 34 Drinking Contest 1

How had things devolved into a drinking contest?

He glanced at Darya, hoping she had the good sense to turn Ryan down

After all, she didn’t drink

The contest was unfair to her.

‘He’s drunk,‘ he said to Darya. ‘Don’t mind him.”

Timothy snorted and folded his arms. ‘Who are you to tell bolly what to do?

Dolly?

Micah frowned.
