At this moment, Theo wrapped his arms around my waist. His lips came closer to my ear, and he said softly, "Don't worry about him. He'll sober up."
I clicked my tongue. "Does this happen a lot to Zedd?”
His slender fingers rested on the glass, which was brought to his mouth. His thin lips were pressed against the glass. It was such a seductive sight to behold.
After taking a sip of water, he said softly, "Not very often. Just occasionally.”
When he saw me staring at his lips in a daze, he raised his eyebrows. "Is there something on my face?”
I came back to my senses and cleared my throat to cover up my embarrassment. "No."
I moved my gaze away from the man’s face and placed my hand on my heart. My heart was starting to beat faster.
The man must be a demon because he was able to make me muddle-headed.
Zedd was completely wasted after drinking two more glasses of wine. Theo reached out to nudge him.
Seeing that he was not budging, he looked at me and said with a smile, "We can go home now.”
I nodded and looked at Zedd, asking, "Do we need to take him home?”
He shook his head. "No, we'll just take him downstairs.”
Theo helped Zedd up from the sofa, and I followed them out of the private room.
When we stepped out of The Imperial Club, Zedd's driver got out of the car and took Zedd over. He thanked Theo, then drove him home.
Theo's car was parked in the parking lot. He looked at me and said, "Wait inside the club for me. I'll go get the car."
"I'll come with you." I did not want to stay here all alone.
Theo, however, did not agree. He persuaded me with a frown, saying, "It’s too cold out here. Be good and wait for me here. I'll be back really soon."
