"One more please!" Paula pushed the empty wine glass forward and smiled brightly at the bartender at the counter.
This was the third glass she had drunk.
Seeing this, Lucia had a bad premonition in her heart. So she quickly held her hand and smiled at the bartender, "No need. It's enough for her."
If she went on drinking like this, she would probably start going crazy again.
"Lucia, don't stop me. Just let me have a good drink!" Paula leaned her head on Lucia's shoulder, and suddenly babbled, "Tell me, why do I always think of Burton?"
In ten minutes, this was the fifth time Lucia had heard her mention his name.
Lucia lowered her head and pretended to be serious, "Paula, I have to tell you something. You like him, but why did you turn him down?"
"Who likes him?! I don't!" Paula waved her hand and continued, "Why did he take advantage of me and not make it clear? What does he think I am? Also, even if he confesses his love, he can't be too casual. I'm a proud woman, and he must take me seriously!"

Lucia looked at Paula who was leaning on her shoulder and kept mumbling and knew that she was drunk again.
But from what Paula said, she roughly guessed what was going on.
Paula's family conditions were good. Paula had been spoiled by her parents and her brother since she was a child. Later, she went abroad to study music. She had a little fame and some achievements. Although she looked carefree, she was proud.
After all, as Paula's good friend, she knew too well that Paula was a person who had perfect requirements for love. She wouldn't treat temporary attraction and ambiguity as love especially when Burton hadn't confessed his love for her.
Lucia shook her head and sighed secretly.
At this moment, a clear female voice suddenly came from the side, "Well, isn't it Paula? Did she break up?"
Lucia turned her head and saw Gigi standing behind them with a wine glass in her hand, and staring at them smugly.
Before Lucia could react, Paula, who was sitting beside her, suddenly stood up straight, turned her head, and glared at Gigi, refuting, "What did you say?!"
Gigi snorted coldly. A bit of irony appeared in her eyes, and she sneered, "I was just sitting over there, and I heard someone screaming here at such a distance. I found it familiar and came over to take a look. I didn't expect it to be you. I heard everything."
She looked arrogant and her words were harsh.
Lucia frowned. She was afraid that Paula would scold her like last time, and quickly grabbed her arm and softly persuaded "Paula, shall we go?"
Before Paula could answer, Gigi glanced at her contemptuously, "Do you still want to run away like a coward like last time? Funny!"
"What did you say?!" Paula stared at her angrily, and immediately stood up as if she was going to come forward and fight Gigi.
When Gigi saw this, not only did she not dodge, but her eyes widened arrogantly. She raised her chin and said, "Do you want to hit me? Paula, I'm warning you. Get over yourself!"
Hearing this, Paula became even angrier. She wished she could immediately teach the arrogant woman a good lesson.
Seeing that something bad was going to happen, Lucia hurriedly grabbed her, "Okay, Paula!"
She stood in front of Paula and looked at Gigi with a gloomy expression, "Miss Robbers, I'm sorry. Paula is drunk. I'll take her away."
With that, she supported Paula and was about to leave.
Gigi snorted coldly and looked disdainful. When she thought of what had happened the last time, she became even angrier, and said coldly, "Why are you interfering with the matter between me and Paula? Do you think that you are very awesome? Aren’t you just August's lover? Everyone knows!"
After the farce last lime, she went back and especially sent someone to check Lucia's background and found that she and August were very close. Besides, she knew Jeanne and knewthe relationship between Jeanne and August, so she decided that Lucia was August's secret lover.
Hearing Gigi's words, Lucia was stunned, and her heart trembled slightly. It turned out that in the eyes of others, this was the relationship between her and August.
She gritted her teeth. Before she could say anything, Paula, who was behind her, suddenly rushed up ahead of her, "Gigi, what the hell are you talking about?!"
Although Paula was drunk, she could still hear what Gigi was saying. Now that Gigi not only bullied her but also said something so mean to Lucia. How could she suck it up?
Gigi grabbed her clothes. Gigi spilled the wine in her hand, and coughed several times, "You... Paula, let go!"
Paula was furious. She glared at Gigi and didn't let go, "Apologize! You have to apologize to Lucia!"
Lucia hadn't expected Paula to rush up suddenly. She quickly stretched out her hand and looked at Paula, "Paula, alright! I'm fine! Let's go!"
The farce staged by the three girls was particularly prominent in the quiet bar.
Soon everyone looked over at them.
The bartender at the bar saw that the situation was not right, so he quickly stepped forward to stop their fight. But Gigi was also furious. She glared at Paula and said, "Paula, you're crazy! Let me go now!"
Paula was angry. She gritted her teeth and said, "You're crazy! You came over and provoke us first!"
Gigi had always been arrogant, domineering, and spoiled. Naturally, she had never experienced such an embarrassing situation. She gritted her teeth and she was burning with anger. She raised her hand and slapped Paula in the face.
At the critical moment, Lucia rushed forward and blocked Paula behind her.
She was slapped hard. They all froze in place.
Lucia gasped in pain. She frowned, and looked up at Gigi, who was dumbfounded, "Is it enough?"
Gigi blinked and came to her sense. She took a step back and looked a little panicked, "Why... why did you rush up?"
The person she wanted to beat was Paula, not Lucia.
