Chapter 383

Let’s get some of the hard stuff. I mean, did you see his Liquor cabinet? Vodka, whiskey, brandy,

Maotai…He has the best stuff.

Tomboy, how about a bottle of limited-edition brandy? This isn’t that expensive, I think,” he said,

grabbing a bottle and examining it.

Lured by the alcohol, he completely forgot about Carlos’ warning.

“Limited-edition brandy?‘ Debbie blinked and wondered. ‘This is all my husband’s Liquor. No big deal to

drink a bottle or two. Besides, he’s with Megan now.

When Megan popped into her mind, Debbie slammed another glass of wine, snapped her fingers and

told Jared, “Sure, why not? Besides, I’m not letting you Leave. You haven’t drunk enough.”

Jared clapped his hands, cheerful at her assent.

“Awesome!”

He took the bottle from the cabinet, removed the lid and poured her a glass, then himself. The smell of

alcohol filled the room.

They clinked glasses and drank the brandy. They were feeling pretty good now, the two of them. The

room was warm, the lights making the place somewhat indistinct, and their cares were largely

forgotten. It was a good time, just these two friends, and in some ways just like old times.

After two glasses of brandy, Debbie’s mind was a blank-no more Carlos, no more Megan. She felt great

at that moment. And that was the whole point of this little rendezvous.

Jared was a heavy drinker. He was still playing on his phone-it was the latest version made by Carlos’

company. After the upgrade, a whole world of games opened to him. And so he was busy downloading

one while playing another.

They polished off the bottle of brandy and were about to find something else to drink when Jared’s

phone rang. He showed Debbie the caller ID and said, “It’s Kasie.”

With a red face, Debbie stammered, “W-Why is she…calling you now?”

“Not a clue. Maybe she’s in trouble.” Jared and Kasie were good friends, but he and Debbie had a

better relationship. He’d known Debbie longer, and she was just more fun to be around. Still, he cared

about

Kasie.

When he answered the call, his face changed dramatically. He jumped to his feet and yelled at his

phone, “Where are you? Debbie and I… Okay, got it!”

His face became a mask of solemnity. Debbie shook her dizzy head and asked, “Jared, what

happened?”

“Something happened to Kasie. She asked me to bring some people along to help. Let’s go.”

Once she heard that, Debbie sobered up a little. She guzzled some more wine and put on her coat

before the two of them left the Orchid Private

Club. Kasie was in trouble.

Jared’s Ferrari was parked not far from the gates. He managed to make his way into the driver’s seat,

but Debbie dragged him out and snapped,

“Get out! You’re too drunk to drive.”

“You kidding? I can hold my Liquor.” Jared’s face was a little redder than usual, but he was fully awake

now.

Debbie shook her head.
