Chapter 50
Just as Simon finished his words, everyone looked at Melanie.
His words had indeed put Melanie in an awkward situation. It sounded as if Melanie wanted to kiss Eugene badly.
Simon did not care and continued asking, “Stephen is around. Why aren’t you kissing him?”
Melanie squeezed the glass. Just as she was about to speak, Stephen spoke up for her, “Simon, stop making things difficult for Mel. She just got off work, and she can’t drink. I’ll drink on her behalf.”
“That’s right. It’s just a game. Drinking is fun too.” Even Joshua, who had always been meek, spoke up for Melanie.
He poured himself a glass of wine and toasted Stephen. “Stephen, I’ll drink with you.”
Stephen and Joshua had already spoken up for Melanie, so Simon stopped forcing her to play. After Stephen drank, they started a new round of games.
Melanie looked at Stephen’s flushed neck and felt terrible. “I’m sorry.”
These people were bold, and the wine they ordered was strong. After Stephen drank three glasses of wine, others seemed to take the chance to toast him.
He closed his eyes and leaned on the backrest of the sofa. Then, he turned around and said to Melanie, “I might have to trouble you to send me home.”
The party ended late. However, because Stephen was drunk, Melanie left with him before the party ended.
Melanie supported him, afraid he might fall. When they walked past Eugene and Viola,
Melanie saw Viola leaning against Eugene’s chest and speaking in a voice only the two could
hear.
After she helped Stephen get into the car, she realized she left her phone in the private room.
Stephen rubbed his temples. He was still a gentleman even when he was drunk. He said, “I’ll rest for a while in the car. You can go and get your phone.”
When Melanie returned to the private room, it was livelier than before.
