Chapter 731
It was not just Isaac inside-Zachary was there too, and the pungent scent of alcohol struck Irene's nose once she stepped inside!
She had no idea how much Isaac had drunk, but it was obvious that Zachary had drunk a lot too, as he was sprawled limply on the couch, his cheeks clearly flushed even under the dim light.
He had already taken off his jacket and thrown it to a corner, while his collar was unbuttoned, revealing his reddish skin.
Irene was frowning as she entered, and she went to check on Isaac first.
He was not dead-drunk like Zachary, and his cheeks were not red-it was likely that he was not the type who got flushed from alcohol.
Still, there was an unfocused look in his eyes as he watched her, and he held out a hand at her.
"You're here."
Irene put her hand on his palm and sat beside him right then. "How much did Zachary drink?"
Isaac did not respond but merely leveled her a meaningful look.
Getting the creeps from his stare, she averted her eyes and asked, "What's that look for?'
"You'd ask about another man first, then show me some concern?"
"...You're really drunk," she said, giving him a look-he would never talk like that while sober.
Linking arms with him just then, she told him, 'Let's get you out of here."
However, she was too scrawny to really carry him, so James came over with a suggestion. "How about I get someone to send Zachary home, and then I'll come back to help you?"
Seeing that Zachary was really drunk, Irene said, "Sure."
With that, James called in a waiter who helped carry Zachary out of the private room, leaving just Irene and Isaac.
"Can you walk?" she asked him-she was presuming that he would need other's help to leave the room even if he was not drunk.
"I'm not drunk."
He squeezed her hand just then, and leaned toward her, his lips brushing against her ear. "Irene..."
Irene sprang to her feet right then.
