Chapter 583 Getting Drunk
After finishing the entire bottle of liquor, Laney was totally plastered. She couldn‘t support herself andhad to lean over the bar counter, muttering drunken gibberish. “I don‘t need a man. I have friends.That‘s more than enough. Isn‘t it good to be single and free? Why would I want a man?” Listening toher drunken ramblings, Janet didn‘t know how to respond. She carefully draped a coat over Laney‘sshoulders and patted her on the back. Then she caught a glimpse of the man sitting in a booth nearthem. novelbin
The dim light in the bar illuminated Garrett‘s face, exposing the complex emotions in his eyes. He waslooking at Laney in pensive silence. After hesitating slightly, Janet nodded at Garrett in greeting. Shehad no idea he had followed Laney there. 1 Laney suddenly reached out and tugged Janet‘s sleeve.“Hey, why‘d you stop? Let’s have another round. Didn‘t you say you‘d get hammered with me?” “Okay,okay. Let‘s drink.” Janet turned around and continued to pour whiskey for Laney as if she hadn‘t seenGarrett. Perhaps Laney had sensed Janet’s hesitation. She craned her neck and turned to look in thedirection Janet was facing just now. “What were you looking at just now? Did you see a hot guy? I wantto see him, too!” “I wasn‘t looking at anything. Come on, let‘s drink,” Janet said quickly, wanting to stopher. But she was too late. Laney had already seen the man Janet was looking at just now.
Garrett stood out amongst the crowd. Maybe it was because the rest of the people in the bar werepretty bland–looking, or maybe it was simply because Garrett was outstandingly handsome thatLaney‘s eyes were drawn to him almost instantly. After the two locked eyes, Laney quickly withdrew hergaze. She staggered to her feet, picked up her things, and grabbed Janet‘s arm. “I don‘t want to drinkanymore. Let‘s go.” However, before they could leave, Garrett suddenly reached for Laney‘s hand andsaid gently, “You‘re drunk. Let me drive you home.” But Laney pushed him away. Her legs were a littleweak, so she staggered a little. “I don‘t need you to take me home. You already know that I‘m drunk, sowhy do you still offer me a ride? What do you expect to happen, huh?” Janet hurried to Laney‘s side
and shook her head at Garrett. “She doesn‘t want to see you for now. Don‘t worry. I’ll take her home.”Garrett didn‘t try to insist. Janet hailed a taxi and then helped Laney in.

The second Laney got back to her apartment, she slumped over her bed, murmuring somethingincoherent. Janet was worried about Laney. After tucking her in, she texted Ethan, telling him that shewould stay the night at Laney‘s place. The following morning, Laney woke up with a splitting headache.Her grumpy expression, coupled with her pale, chapped lips, made her look even more depressed.“Laney, you don‘t look so good. Do you want to go back to bed and sleep some more?” Janet had goneout to get breakfast. When she came back and saw the listless Laney, she was genuinely worried. 1Laney rubbed her aching temples and said dismally, “No, I‘m fine.” Janet set a cup of coffee in front ofLaney and said, “Time heals all wounds. Do you want to go on a vacation? Maybe what you need is achange of environment.” Laney sipped on her coffee and grimaced, still feeling the effects of the liquor.“Do you have the time to go with me?” Janet smiled. “I can ask for a vacation leave. Besides, I haven‘tbeen that busy lately.” Laney fell silent and proceeded to drink her coffee. Just then, Janet‘s phonerang. Looking at the caller ID, she excused herself. “I need to take this. Think about it, okay?” It wasfrom Ethan. The second the call connected, he said in a low, melancholic voice, “Grandma‘s sick. Wehave to go back to Seacisco today.“
