When Jolie returned, she saw Marie sitting alone on a park bench, her head down, not saying a
word.
Jolie walked over and quietly asked, “Ms. Spence, what’s wrong?”
Marie kicked a stone by her feet, looking down, and asked, “Jolie, what do people usually do when
they’re feeling down?”
After giving it some thought, Jolie said, “Drinking, singing, eating, and shopping.”
She needs to save money for shopping, as she doesn’t have enough funds to bring Emory and the
others over.
Eating food is off–limits for her, as she’s still on a diet.
Drinking and singing, that’s something we can enjoy.
Marie stood up and asked, “Jolie, want to go for a drink?”
“Huh?” Jolie didn’t catch on.
Marie grabbed her hand and said, “Let’s go, I’ll take you out for a drink.”
Marie and Jolie found a bar that wasn’t too crowded as evening approached. They chose a secluded.
spot to sit and ordered a case of beer. Fearlessly placing the drinks on the table, Marie said, “Let’s
drink up! Once we finish these, we can head home!”
Jolie waved her hand, not daring to drink. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
Marie asked the attendant to open all the bottles of wine. She took a big sip herself and sighed in
satisfaction. “Ah, it feels so good! It’s been a long time since I’ve had a drink!”
Jolie sat there without moving, not daring to drink any alcohol. After all, she might have to take
Marie home if she drank too much later!
Marie kept drinking one bottle after another. She had promised to go home after finishing this case, but
before it was even empty, she ordered another bottle of red wine and a few cocktails.
Colorful drinks were arranged on the table, and Marie took a sip of each one. The alcohol mixed
together, and before long, she was intoxicated.
At ten o’clock, the bar gradually became more crowded. Marie was laughing and drinking, mumbling
something under her breath. The music grew louder, and a few men couldn’t help but glance over in
her direction.
Marie was dressed like a typical student, her small face flushed with a rosy hue. Her eyes were slightly
red, making her look both pitiful and adorable.

Jolle sald somewhat embarrassed, “Ms. Spence, let’s go back.”
“Huh?” The music in the bar was too loud, and Marie couldn’t hear clearly.
“I say, let’s go back!” Jolie shouted loudly.
“I’m not going back! Where would I even go?” Marie shouted loudly.
Nowhere feels like home, so naturally, she has nowhere to return to.
While Gavin was on his way to the restroom, he happened to pass by Marie’s secluded spot. Who else
could it be, if not Marie, sitting there with her drink, giggling and swaying from side to side?
Recently, he and Dennis have been in Las Vegas, and the two of them would often eat together
whenever they had the chance. Today, he finally managed to get Dennis to go out for a drink, hoping to
gossip about Dennis and this Marie. Little did he know, they would actually run into the intriguing Marie
herself.
Gavin returned to the upstairs private room, rubbing his hands together excitedly as he approached
Dennis and said, “Guess who I just saw?”
Dennis held a glass of red wine in one hand and, with a look of disdain, moved slightly to the side. He
said, “Just tell me what you want
don’t come any closer.”
Gavin: “…”
“I saw Ms. Spence!” Gavin exclaimed.
Dennis hesitated for a moment, then raised his glass and took another sip of red wine, letting out a soft
“Mmm” from his mouth.
Is Gavin still being stubborn like this?
“So, you’re really not interested in Ms. Spence, huh?” Gavin asked.
“No,” Dennis said coldly.
“But I find her quite interesting. If you’re not interested, I’ll give it a shot!” Gavin rubbed his hands
together, excitedly exclaiming.
“Get lost!” Dennis said.
Gavin chuckled and said, “I’m serious, Ms. Spence is so beautiful! She’s downstairs right now, tipsy
from drinking, and so many men are staring at her. I could go play the hero and save her!”
Dennis didn’t say a word and took another sip of his drink. The private room remained silent like this.
Gavin sat cross–legged to one side, curious to know what was going on in Dennis’s mind.

Dennis raised his wine glass and downed the half–full glass of red wine in one gulp. With a bang, he
threw the glass onto the table, stood up, and walked out of the private room, pulling the door open.
Gavin laughed. Indeed, this Marie was truly different.
Dennis stood on the second floor, looking down and immediately spotted Marie in the corner, drunk
and surrounded by various bottles and glasses scattered haphazardly on the table. Jolie stood nearby,
trying to help Marie up, but Marie stubbornly refused to leave.
Dennis called out, somewhat irritated, “Cullen!”
Cullen immediately followed from behind, “Mr. Whitney.”
“Go start the car and wait for me at the entrance!” Dennis said.
“Alright.” Cullen efficiently went downstairs to start the car.

“Dennis, are you leaving?” Gavin asked as he sauntered out of the private room. “What am I going to
do without you?”
“Sleep here, and there might be a woman willing to pick you up,” Dennis said before heading
downstairs.
Gavin grumbled angrily from behind, “Do I look like such a casual person?!”
