Being the poor drinker she was, it only took a glass of wine for her stomach to start burning up. Noticing that, Jason politely said, “…You know, you should just head home with your brother first… I know you can’t handle your wine, and it doesn’t seem like you enjoy mingling around like this either. I truly appreciate your attendance today, and I think it’s time we said farewell…”
Smiling subtly, she simply nodded before replying, “Thank you for inviting me in the first place… Well, I’ll be off…”
With that said, she followed Ian home… and it was nearly midnight when she finally got into her room to begin removing her makeup. Already starting to feel dizzy, she took a quick shower before drowsily lying on her bed… but just as she was about to fall asleep, she heard her message notification tone ringing. Though she wanted to ignore it, she soon received another message, and she knew that she couldn’t pretend that she hadn’t heard it anymore.
To her surprise, the sender was… Zayne? She was still quite drunk, and since she could hardly make out the words in the texts, she ultimately figured that she may as well just give him a proper reply in the morning. With that, she replied with a voice message, saying, “Sorry, I’m a little drunk and sleepy right now… Talk to you in the morning.”
Unbeknownst to her, Zivon had been the one texting her through Zayne’s phone! Sure, the contract had said that Zivon was prohibited from communicating with Xavia, but Zayne was free to do so. With that loophole in mind, Zivon had earlier invited Zayne over to his place to have a chat… and eventually, he found the chance to use Zayne’s phone to text Xavia.
Either way, upon hearing Xavia’s message, Zivon couldn’t help but squint. Hadn’t he already told Ian not to allow her to drink? And was she even at home right now? Feeling restless, Zivon ultimately sent Ian a text, asking, ‘How’s Xav doing? Apparently she’s been drinking?’
Not knowing that Zivon was feeling bothered by all this, Ian simply replied, ‘Yeah, she insisted on having a toast with Jason, so I didn’t stop her. Don’t worry, it was only a small glass of wine, and she’s currently in her bedroom.’
…She was the one who had insisted on having a toast with him…?! Did that man even deserve her respect…?!
Fast forward to the next morning, Xavia awoke later than usual, her head feeling slightly heavy and dizzy. Following a yawn, she took a quick shower and changed into something more presentable before heading downstairs for breakfast.
