Chapter 497
Their rendezvous turned out to be a karaoke that Logan picked as he said he was a VIP member there,where he could get some discounts. After flagging down a cab, they hit the road and headed towardtheir destination. Soon, the driver asked, “Did you rub anyone the wrong way recently, ladies?”
Sophia paused, confused by the driver’s words. “Um… no? Who could we rub the wrong way?”Nevertheless, the driver only stared at both ladies from the rearview mirror without saying a singleword. Not long after that, the car pulled up outside the karaoke, but when Sophia exited the cab, thedriver reminded her about her safety. “Be careful because it’s getting late now. The street is no placefor ladies like you two in the late night, so try to stick with your friends.”
While those words sounded like a friendly reminder to Sophia, she smiled and thanked the driver. Assoon as they entered the karaoke, the driver drove off, clearly seeing the entrance from the rearviewmirror. Then, he pulled over by the roadside and remained in the car.
Meanwhile, Logan was already waiting inside by the time Sophia and Robin arrived. Soon, they weregreeted by a table of food and boxes of beers placed by the door. Besides, Logan was seen with two ofhis men whom he brought along from his clubhouse, and Sophia had known them since the last timethey played poker together. Therefore, they hit it off pretty quickly, while Zack only arrived twentyminutes later. Nevertheless, it didn’t take him long to fit in as he was less reserved at that moment thanhis usual self.
Despite the exciting occasion, Sophia wasn’t blinded by it, learning from her previous experience inwhich Logan and the rest spent half a day looking for her after she got too drunk and wandered off.Therefore, she restrained herself from indulging in alcohol, this time with the incident deeply etched inher mind. No matter how many times Zack toasted her, she always waved her hand and turned him
down. “Nah! I’m good. I’m actually still having a hangover from a few days ago, so if I drink more than Ican handle now, I might be gone forever.”
Zack didn’t know what happened previously, so he only smiled and said, “Well, there are so many of ushere, and you think we can’t take care of you? Come on, you’re worrying too much!”
Soon, Robin saw what Zack did and leaned closer. “Let me drink on Sophia’s behalf. I’d like to enjoysome beer tonight because I never really got to do this back then.” In fact, she wasn’t exaggerating herstory because she had always been rather disciplined, never allowing herself to attend any crazy partyin the past. Apart from that, Robin was also guilty about what happened to Sophia, who got drunk andwent missing the last time due to a promise she made to take care of her friend. Therefore, shedecided to make it up to Sophia by drinking on her behalf.
Logan then chimed in, “Alright, it’s fine by me since Robin insists, plus I’ve never seen her drink before.You’re quite the man, Zack! From what I remember, no one could make Robin drink the last time wehad fun together.”
After hearing what Logan said, Zack decided to cut Sophia some slack and toasted Robin instead.Halfway through their celebration, Sophia even headed outside to order some food from the managerin order to dampen the effects of the alcohol. At the same time, everyone was enjoying the food anddrinks while having a great time in the room. novelbin
A few moments later, Robin gazed at Sophia and said, “I’m going to use the washroom. I’ll be backsoon.”
She didn’t drink a lot, and she looks fine, besides her rosy cheeks. “Alright, you know where thewashroom is, right?” Sophia nodded and asked.
“Yeah, I got this. Don’t worry.” Robin nodded in response and exited the room after that, leaving Sophiabehind, who was eating while listening to Logan sing, in the room.
A few minutes went by as Sophia looked at the time when Robin still hadn’t returned. The nextmoment, she laid down the things in her hands while wondering to herself. Don’t tell me this lady gotdrunk and wandered off like I did the last time. After a few more minutes, Sophia got too worried tokeep waiting, after which she decided to stand up and search for a friend. It was then that she realizedtheir room was slightly far away from the washroom, which was situated at the end of the corridor.
