It was almost 12 o'clock. Marius checked the time, and realizing it was late, he brought me back to the apartment. I said nothing along the way.
I felt much better after crying at karaoke just now despite still feeling a little uncomfortable.
I probably drank too fast earlier. Otherwise, I would not be feeling so bad.
The car soon came to a stop. We arrived at the apartment.
We got out of the car together. Marius brought me a glass of honey water from the kitchen. "Okay, it's getting late. Time to wash up and go to bed. You still smell so strongly of alcohol!"
I accepted the drink and drank half a cup. It made me feel a lot better.
"I don't feel as sick anymore. Marius, thank you for taking care of me tonight. I'll go back to the room, wash up, and then sleep. Good night!"
With that, I waved to him.
“Good night,” Marius replied softly.
I went back to the room. I did not know if it was because I cried after drinking, but I felt insightful. Especially after meeting Delia during the day, I was even more certain that there was something off with her.
The drugged wine at the banquet might have been her own doing.
She had already been scheming since the start.
My head was still a little muddled, and it hurt. I rubbed my temples. Forget it. I had best go to sleep first. I would think about the rest later on.
Thinking this, I changed my clothes. Under the influence of alcohol, I very quickly fell asleep.
Early the next morning, I showered and felt a whole lot better.
After having breakfast, I went to the company. I saw the employees casting strange glances at me the moment I entered.
