It was too late to stop Colin.
"I don't want to sleep alone."
I wished I could find a hole to hide in. Why did he have to be so direct? Did he not want his reputation anymore?
"Go home, okay? I'm going to hang up now."
"I want to sleep with you. Baby, please come back quickly. My head hurts, and I can't sleep. I want you to give me a massage."
Colin was pouting and looking at me with grievance as his sparkling eyes turned red.
A drunk Colin was the total opposite of his usual self. He was usually like a wolf but would turn into a lamb when he was drunk.
What was next after asking for a massage? A kiss?
I begged he wouldn't. It was already embarrassing enough. It couldn't get any worse.
"Colin, go home and sleep right now. If you really can't sleep, call the police."
I was startled by the sudden voice and couldn't understand the words said. What did calling the police have anything to do with going to sleep? Also, who dared to reprimand Colin like this?
Oh, it was the professor.
"Professor, do the police even care about putting people to sleep now?" I bravely faced Professor King's disdainful gaze and asked him.
He solemnly shook his head and said, "Are the police so free now? But going to the police station can definitely sober up a drunkard."
So that was what he meant.
I saw Colin's handsome face and tall figure standing under the light as soon as the car door was opened. He was looking at me with a gentle and warm gaze as the light shone down on him.
Colin knew of my mischievousness and saw through my intention. He took two steps forward, finding a safe position before spreading his arms and nodding slightly at me. "Come."
The night was beautiful with the warm lights and clear laughter.
The professor left quickly and muttered about the decline of moral standards, lamenting on how Colin could be a professor.
Everyone else just whistled and praised Colin for his actions, urging him on. One of them even shouted loudly, "Mr. White, don't waste such a good opportunity. Bring your bride home."
