In the nightclub, Valeria was on cloud nine.
After drinking too much, she staggered while walking to the bathroom.
When she was going back to the private room, one of the other doors opened.
Michael cupped his face as he came out with a smile.
Because he was cupping his face, Valeria paid extra attention to his cheeks.
His cheeks were red, and she wondered, "What's going on? Did someone hit him?"
"How could he still smile after getting hit? He's too drunk!"
Valeria was puzzled.
Then, she saw Abbie coming out of the room with messy hair and crumpled clothes.
Valeria was dizzy after drinking so much.
"Abbie, what are you doing here?"
A trace of awkwardness flashed across her face at the question.
"I...I came out for a walk."
"For a walk? I just saw Michael coming out from here too! Was he also taking a walk?"
Abbie's face was as red as a tomato.
She knew that Valeria was drunk after she nonchalantly asked her questions like that.
"You saw wrong!"
"Hey! Why are your lips swollen?"
Valeria got closer to Abbie and asked, "Did you get bitten?"
"I accidentally bit myself just now."
Abbie looked more and more unnatural, but Valeria, who was drunk, didn't give it much thought.
"How could you be so careless to bite yourself! Let's go back and have a drink!"
Abbie shook her head and rejected, "I have some stuff to attend to so I'll go home first."
"What's that?"
"Some personal stuff.I will look for you tomorrow"
Abbie said as she left in a hurry.
Valeria stared at her back for a while before staggering back to the private room.
William came out of the door to help her.
"I told you not to drink anymore, but you didn't listen.Now you're so drunk! You're even staggering when you walk."
"Who said I drank too much? I didn't drink too much.I can actually still drink...two more bottles!"
"Wow, how amazing! I know you can.You can still drink a whole crate !"
William held her and retorted in anger and amusement.
"Let's go home.Don't go in!"
"Is there anyone else in there? What would they think of me if the host leaves first?"
She refused to leave.
"Marcus is in the room attending to the guests.Don't worry, we're all friends."
He held her in his arms and took her out of the nightclub.
Outside, Bobby immediately drove the car to the entrance.
William helped Valeria get in the car, and then he got in himself.
Valeria put her head on his lap and muttered, "William, I saw Abbie and Michael come out of another room.Abbie said that she came out for a walk.Why did she go to another room for a walk?"
"Really? Maybe her other friends were in that room"
William agreed with her.
"But I saw that her lips were swollen, and she said she bit it herself.Michael looked like he had been hit too! Half of his face was covered with handprints."
Upon hearing this, William immediately understood what happened.
Michael must have done something to Abbie.
