Chapter 91
Just as expected, many men felt disheartened when they saw the intimate gestures between Hilda andJared. Even Zayne’s eyes were filled with jealousy as he looked in Jared’s direction. When Jaredintroduced Maria to Hilda, he explained, “This is Mr. Saunders’ daughter, Maria. Her dad and minewere comrades in the army.” Hilda instantly figured out that Gary must have wanted to approachMaria’s father when he told her he would ask a friend about a job for her.
Hence, she walked up to Maria and held her hand. “Maria, you’re really pretty. I have heard Jared andMr. Chance mention you before. I just never had the opportunity to meet you.” Maria smiled inresponse to Hilda’s friendliness. “Hilda, you look stunning yourself.” “This is Troy.
We’re on the same team,” Jared continued while pointing at a bespectacled colleague in the corner.“Nice to meet you!” Hilda smiled while extending her hand. “T-The pleasure is mine.” Blushing, Troygently shook Hilda’s hand. Troy’s reaction caused everyone to burst into laughter. Soon, everyonebegan to make merry, singing and drinking at the same time. Moreover, many of them came over tomake a toast to Jared, challenging his capacity to drink.
Realizing what was going on, Hilda shielded Jared from them. “At this rate, Jared will be drunk in notime. I’ll drink in his place instead.” With that, Hilda downed a mug of beer. Since Hilda was standing upfor Jared, the guys weren’t going to let the opportunity slip. From their perspective, Hilda would beknocked out after just two beers.novelbin
Soon, all of them realized they couldn’t be more wrong. Despite taking on the crowd’s challenge anddowning drink after drink, Hilda didn’t look as if she was drunk at all. When everyone realized there wasbarely any change to her expression, they were stupefied. Even Jared looked at her in disbelief. Noone had expected such a demure-looking girl to be so good at drinking. At that moment, she had thirtyempty beer bottles right beneath her feet.
Meanwhile, everyone else’s face was already red from having too much to drink. In fact, some of themcould barely maintain their balance. “All right now, let’s start singing instead of drinking non-stop.”Finally, Zayne stepped in to stop the drinking challenge. Otherwise, everyone else would be drunkbefore Hilda felt anything. “Hilda, you’re an amazing drinker,” Maria remarked with her eyes filled withboth envy and astonishment.
Hilda smiled, “Unfortunately, that’s the only thing I’m good at.” “Hilda, you’re awesome! If my alcoholtolerance were as high as yours, no one will dare challenge me to a drinking game again!” Lydiaexclaimed in admiration as she sat down beside Hilda. “Lydia, it’s possible to improve one’s drinkingcapacity through practice. I’ll teach you how to do it next time. Besides, I like how our surnames aresimilar to each other too,” Hilda replied jovially.
Hilda was undeniably good at socializing. Within a short period of time, the three ladies had becomebest friends that could talk about anything under the sun. “Hilda, given how pretty and good-naturedyou are, how did you end up being interested in Jared? To me, he is just an annoying countrybumpkin,” Lydia asked candidly after having quite a bit to drink.
Sitting by the side, Jared didn’t sing nor drink. All he did was make idle chatter with Troy once in awhile. Evidently, he didn’t fit in with the rest at all. “Lydia, Jared is actually a pretty good guy. I knowbecause I grew up with him.
Perhaps, you just don’t know him well yet,” Hilda calmly explained and wasn’t upset at all. GivenHilda’s response, Lydia knew it would be inappropriate to disparage Jared further. Hence, she took upthe mic and suggested, “Come, why don’t we sing a song together?”
