"Didn't you say you want to drink? I'm here, you can drink as much as you want!" Sven took up a glass of beer that the waiter put before them, then he placed it in front of Angela.
Arvin didn't feel like talking. He would only say one or two words max when prompted.
Angela sat beside Arvin. She took up the beer Sven gave her, and lifted it towards Arvin, "Big Wing, i want to drink with you."
She searched her memory carefully. They had known each other for a long time, and they hadn't got the chance to drink together even once..
People who were busy talking suddenly heard that Angela was going to drink with Arvin, and they all stopped the conversation and looked at them with one accord.
Sitting still in his place, Arvin told Anglea, "You're no good at drinking."
"It's OK. My brother is here!" Sven was her backup!
Her casual and honest response made Arvin seem colder.
However, he picked up his liquor and clinked glasses with her. Just as he was about to drink, Nita spoke softly into his ear. "Ahem. Arvin, you have to drive later. Maybe don't drink."
Angela was infuriated by those words. 'What does that have to do with her?
And what's that tone? Is she Arvin's relative? Or does she consider herself Arvin's girlfriend?'
Angela put her hand on Arvin's, "Drink it! I'll tell Farris to drive you home." Angela looked at Nita while she spoke, but she was speaking to Arvin.
Farris was Sven's assistant. He brought Farris with him everywhere.
Now everybody understood what was going on. It turned out that these two women were competitors!
Everybody kept close eyes on Arvin.
His next response would show which one of them he cared the most.
Angela forced a smile. According to Arvin's attitude towards her, she believed that Arvin would turn her down.
And she was right.
Arvin put down the glass and looked at Angela, "Don't drink too much." It's OK that he refused to drink. If she got drunk, she would ask him to drive her home.
Angela didn't get angry. But when Sven saw Nita's happy face, he was angry.
"Angela, I'm here, you can drink as much as you want."
It seemed that Angela did love Arvin. But he wondered whether Arvin felt the same for Angela.
He had to ask Arvin about it some day.
Angela put down the beer and moved towards Sven, "Sven, please excuse me, I'll have to use the restroom."
Since she was not drunk, Sven didn't have to come with her, so he nodded and said, "Hurry back."
Angela stood in the hallway and tried to hold back her grievances. After taking several deep breaths, she called Arnold, "Arnold, where are you? Come and drink with me... "Great! No problem!"
Five minutes later
Angela sat at another stool and looked at a purple haired man blankly, "Why are you here?"
Fabian smiled at her maliciously, "I heard that you want someone to drink with, so I'm here!"
