In the private room, I only knew Zack well.
But Mia kept getting the group to toast Zack and make him drink.
Some of the guys seemed to feel guilty, glancing in my direction when they toasted.
I understood. It seemed Mia had asked them to get Zack drunk.
Still, she did have some skills.
So many people were willing to listen to her.
Well, they had all known each other for much longer than they’d known me.
After drinking too much, Zack suddenly hugged me and started kissing me sloppily.
“Olivia, Olivia, you’re so beautiful. I like you so much.”
I smiled and used my palm to block his alcohol–laden lips.
“My dad really likes you too. He said I must marry you!”
I laughed coldly to myself. What sweet dreams that old man Wilson was having.
Zack tried to pucker up and kiss me again, but Mia suddenly came forward and pulled him away.
“Zack, stop it. Olivia doesn’t want you to kiss her.”
I don’t know how Mia managed it, but somehow Zack’s lips ended up planted on her mouth instead.
She made a big show of pushing Zack away. He fell back into his chair, and the cold water on the table splashed all over his head.
With a loud splash, he sobered up halfway.
Mia’s eyes welled up with tears that threatened to fall. She looked at me, then locked eyes with the confused Zack for a long moment.
Then she ran out of the room like the wind.
Zack touched his lips, then chased after Mia in a panic, as if he was riding on wheels.
“Haha! Don’t take offense…”

“Haha! Don’t take offense…”
His group of friends continued to play the role of peacemakers.
I sincerely responded to their awkward toe–curling expressions.
“How could I blame Zack? It was all an accident.”
After I said this, I felt everyone’s gazes on me were full of shock.
They were probably surprised that I loved Zack so much I’d even give up my dignity. Oh no, they might also think I was crazy.
We ended up sitting in the room waiting for an hour before Zack finally brought back a tear–stained, messy Mia.
They must have gotten enough of the cold air outside, as they both seemed quite calm and even maintained some distance, walking in one after the other.
“Zack, you’re back. Let’s go home!”
I didn’t care at all whether anything had happened between the two of them.
I only knew it was dark and time to go home to sleep.
The group of friends saw the two return and hurriedly said goodbye.
I guess they couldn’t stand the atmosphere either.
I called a taxi and invited Zack to ride with me.
Yes, our two families lived in the same direction, not far apart.
Zack looked at me, then hesitated and looked at Mia. Then, as if making some big decision, he called out to Mia:
“Mia, don’t take what happened today to heart. It was all my fault for drinking too much. In the future! We’ll still be best friends!”
I got into the taxi first and rolled my eyes without holding back.
Did the alcohol go to his brain?
Before Zack got in, I quickly composed myself and put on a gentle expression.
“It’s okay, it’s okay. Don’t worry Zack, I called a taxi for Mia too~”
