Chapter 34 Getting Drunk Late at Night
After calming herself down, Evelyn left the community. The car that had sent her was still waiting by the side of the road.
She got in the car with red eyes. It was still carly, and Grace also wanted to come out. They made an appointment to have lunch at a Thai restaurant.
When Evelyn arrived, she asked the driver to leave. She walked in alone. They didn’t book a private room. So, in the hall, from a distance, she saw Grace in a red knitted dress, looking bright and dazzling.
“You didn’t go to work today, did you?” Evelyn walked over.
Grace had already ordered a table of dishes. She smiled at Evelyn and said, “I’m in a bad mood, so I didn’t go.”
Evelyn said, “You don’t seem like the type to skip work.” Evelyn remembered that although Grace was careless, she was still very strict when it was time to be strict. Grace also studied law and always followed the rules.
“My department and my job are so lousy. Even if I skip work for a month, no one will know that I’m not here.” Grace couldn’t help rolling her eyes. “I’m here to complain to you today!”
Only then did Evelyn find out that Grace had never been as happy as she had said. Although Grace worked in her family’s
work was related to the law there was nothing
someone else, it made Grace directly a mere figurehead.
In her words, she was just wasting her life, and it was meaningless.
“I’ve almost forgotten the basic laws and regulations.” Grace laughed self-deprecatingly.
“So, what’s your plan? Do you want to continue or change jobs?”
“Of course, I want to quit. I’m going to be a fool because of this. I’m sitting there every day like an immortal. Those who don’t know me maybe think that I’m going to die.” Thinking of this, she was full of anger. “I’ll resign soon, and then I’ll rest for some time. I need to think about the future plan first.”
“Okay, anyway, you don’t have much pressure. Think about it carefully.”
Grace raised her eyebrows and looked at Evelyn. “Why do I feel like you’re acting weird today?”
Evelyn stopped picking up food with her fork and shook her head with a smile. “You can read my mind as if you are a worm in my body. I can’t hide anything from you.” NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
“Even so, I should be the most beautiful worm.” Grace smiled perfunctorily and quickly stopped smiling. “What’s wrong? Did Jerry and Maura cause trouble or did President Lloyd provoke you?”
“I told my mother about the divorce.”
This time, Grace was really shocked. After a long time, she gave
Evelyn smiled bitterly. She was forced to do so.
“But that’s good. Instead of worrying about being set up by the shameless Graves family every day, it’s better to just say it directly. Uncle and Auntie will find out sooner or later.” Seeing that she was not in a good mood, Grace filled the glass with beer. “Come on, let’s drink to our heart’s content today. We won’t go home until we’re drunk!”
When they came out of the Thai restaurant, it was already two o’clock in the afternoon. Both of them were drunk. They supported each other and walked unsteadily.
Originally, Evelyn didn’t want to drink too much, but she couldn’t resist Grace’s persuasion. In addition, she was indeed in a bad mood, so she really drank too much.
Obviously, Grace couldn’t drive like this, and Evelyn was no better than her. Next to the Thai restaurant was a chain KTV in the city. Grace somehow rushed in directly when she saw it. Evelyn wanted to stop her, but it was too late.
As a result, the battlefield changed from a Thai restaurant to a KTV. Grace booked a private room overnight and bought two
boxes of beer.
After Evelyn drank two or three more bottles of wine, she totally became irrational. The alcohol dominated her body. The two of them felt pity for each other, and they almost hugged each other and burst into tears.
It was eight o’clock in the evening, and Huston kept calling Evelyn. But no one in the noisy private room could hear it at all. When Evelyn saw it, there were already 15 missed calls.
Before she could call back, her phone vibrated again. She slid the screen and answered the call. Before she spoke, she burped. “Hello?”
When Huston heard her soft voice, he immediately frowned. “Did you drink?”
When Evelyn heard his gloomy tone, she sobered up a little. Ignoring the fact that he couldn’t see her at all, she stretched out her little finger and gestured. “A little.”
“Heh.” Huston laughed coldly. “That sounds more than just a little.”
He continued, “Tell me the address and I’ll pick you up.”
