Gordan could not care less about things like barbecues, but when he heard Gale mention there would be wine, his eyes lit up. Suddenly, he was enthusiastic about it.
All he could think about now was getting his hands on some alcohol. "Sure. Why the heck not? If there's good liquor involved, count me in.”
"Are you planning to drain Boss' liquor stash?" Gale took a sip of his drink and teased him.
"He's got plenty in his cellar. What's the harm in me having a taste?" Gordon knew that Luke had a habit of collecting fine wines. There were many in his wine cellar that Gordan wanted to try but had not had the chance to yet.
With so much good wine calling his name, it would be dumb not to go.
"I'll let Boss know," replied Gale. After all, it was not his party, so they had to give the host a heads-up.
Gordan stopped him. "No need. I'm worried that if you tell him, Luke won't bring out the good stuff. Just take me along. No need to give him a heads-up."
"Is he really so stingy that he won't even share his liquor..." Gale could not believe it. Was Gordan really drunk to actually paint Luke as such a stingy person?
Luke was genuinely kind to people. Hence, he was also known for being generous, whether it was about money or anything else.
"Trust me. Don't tell him anything. I’m planning to surprise him," replied Gordan. He let out a burp after another swig of his drink.
Gale rolled his eyes. It was hard to believe what a drunkard said.
Give Luke a surprise?
As long as it did not end up being a shock, that would be considered good enough.
"I can't just let it slide," Gale insisted on telling Luke.
"Okay, here's the plan. Pretend you're clueless. Tomorrow, I'll show up at his place myself. Sounds good?" Gordan did not want Luke to know he was coming.
Gale pondered for a moment. That could work. He nodded and replied, "Alright, but ease up on the drinks tonight. You don't want to show up at his place tomorrow still hammered."
"Live for the moment, my friend. You don't get it. I can hold my liquor. I won't be wasted." Gordan laughed, taking another swig.
"Tsk, you’re really risking it all for booze." Gale shook his head.
Luckily, Gordan was in A City now, where things were relatively safe. There would not be any trouble. If he were overseas, getting this hammered could land him in hot water.
"Who says so? This booze is good for you," Gordan squinted his eyes, feeling like he was seeing double.
He glanced at the bottles of liquor on the table, several of which were already empty.
"Yeah, it's good for you. In that case, bottoms up." Gale saw Gordan in such a state and knew he was almost gone.
There was a knock on the private room door at that moment.
Gale raised his voice, "Come in."
The door opened, and the waitress who had just left returned. She held a tray with a steaming lobster roll on it.
"Here's your lobster roll, sir." The waitress placed the tray on the table.
"Alright, thanks." Gale glanced at the lobster roll, then at the drunken Gordan. He did not want to be dragging a wasted man home, so he asked, "Is the hotel upstairs run by the same boss as this bar?"
"Yes." The waiter nodded. Their boss owned a nightclub downstairs and had recently taken over the hotel upstairs. It was convenient for guests to crash upstairs when they were too drunk to drive, avoiding the hassle of transportation.
Gale rose to his feet, walked over to Gordan, and reached out. "Hand over your wallet."
"You didn't want my money earlier, and now you're asking for it... What are you doing?" Gordan squinted at him with drunken eyes.
