I didnât refuse.
âOkay.
â
It was high time she knew the whole story.
Truth be told, I was a little relieved that I didnât have to hide it from her anymore.
Coincidentally, the bar was a suitable place for her to vent her anger.
With the help of the alcohol, she might be able to accept the current situation faster.
After I sat down at a table Zoe picked out, Zoe went to the bar counter to order more wine.
Before leaving, she warned me, âYouâd better be prepared to answer all my questions.
â
I nodded.
While I was waiting for her to return, a familiar figure approached our table.
âDebra, itâs really you!â
It was Gifford.
He seemed to be shocked to see me here.
I looked at him in confusion.
I was no big shot.
Why was he so surprised to see me?
âGifford, what a coincidence! I didnât expect to run into you here,â I said to him politely, but admittedly, my smile was a little forced
However, Gifford acted as though he was a good friend of mine.
He plopped down next to me and said, âI saw those guys accost you and Zoe a moment ago.
I was going to help you girls out, but unexpectedly, you didnât need my help.
I didnât know Zoe was such a good fighter!â
Hearing this, I couldnât help but Laugh out Loud.

Gifford Laughed as well.
Then he added, âBut youâre quite the fighter yourself.
You were so quick to react when that guy snuck up on Zoe, knocking him out in one blow with a wine bottle.
I almost wondered if it wasnât you!â
I smiled crookedly, feeling a little embarrassed by his words.
After all, I rarely resorted to violence, but the one time I did,
Gifford happened to see me.
âDebra, Iâm done ordering.
â
Zoeâs voice broke the silence and pulled me back to my senses.
She had just returned from the bar counter.
Seeing Gifford, who was sitting next to me, she frowned unhappily
âSir, please leave.
I need to speak with Debra in private.
â
She thought that her straightforward request would get Gifford to leave, but unexpectedly, the Latter shook his head and refused.
He said firmly, âI also want to have a drink with Debra.
â
Zoeâs nostrils flared impatiently.
