Chapter 338

An hour later, in a high–end restaurant.

to the apology etiquette she had Emma picked up a glass of liquor seriously, bowed to Eason according just found online, and then said, “Mr. Nicholas, I’ll drink a toast to you as an apology.”

Eason was stunned by Emma’s full glass of liquor..

As he was about to say something, Emma raised her head and gulped down the liquor quickly.

Eason was speechless.

He couldn’t help glancing at Susan. “Is your friend so good at drinking?”

Emma ordered the best liquor in the restaurant.

One might feel nothing when he first drank this kind of liquor. Yet he would easily get drunk after a while when the alcohol took effect.

Susan was also a little shocked. She murmured, “I don’t know.”

“Mr. Nicholas, I wonder if you can accept my apology,” Emma said.

It seemed that if Eason said no, she would drink a few more glasses of liquor.

Eason hurriedly said, “Yes, yes.”

“Thank you,” Emma smiled. She then sat down and carefully put dishes in front of Susan and Eason.

“Try it.” Emma managed to smile. “The food in this restaurant tastes pretty good.”

Susan and Eason quickly began to eat.

“Just eat as much as you can,” Emma continued.

Susan coughed quietly.

She could tell that Emma was trying her best to entertain them.

However, Emma’s tone was extremely stiff. No matter what she said, it sounded like she was reciting a text.

“What’s wrong?” Emma asked with concern.

“Nothing,” Susan hurriedly answered. “The food is delicious.”

Although Emma’s tone was stiff, no one knew better than Susan how much effort Emma had put in to do all this.

“That’s good.” Emma heaved a sigh of relief.

Eason looked at Emma and then at Susan. He felt that something was wrong.

But he was not stupid enough to ask Susan in front of Emma.

Knowing that Emma felt uncomfortable, Susan ate as quickly as she could. Seeing this, Eason followed suit.

It didn’t take long for the three to finish eating.

Susan smiled at Emma and said, “Emma, thank you for the meal.”

“Do you want more dishes?” Emma asked nervously.

“No need. I’m already full. Look at my stomach. It’s already bulging.” Susan hastily touched her round stomach.

Emma looked at Susan seriously, wondering if she had really eaten enough or if she was just being polite.

Before Emma could figure it out, Susan had already stood up and said, “I’m really full.”

“Miss Garcia, thank you for the meal.” Eason stood up and said politely, “It will be my treat next time.”

Emma thought, ‘Next time? It is all over after I treated them to a meal and apologized, isn’t it? How can there be a next time?‘

Her expression instantly turned terrified.

Eason was baffled by the sudden change in Emma’s expression, wondering, ‘What’s wrong?”

Understanding Emma’s fear, Susan immediately said, “Emma, he’s just being polite. He’s not really going to treat you to a meal.”

Eason could not help glancing at Susan, thinking, “Why is Susan so blunt?”

Emma immediately relaxed. “So it’s just a courtesy.”

Eason was lost for words.

He couldn’t understand them at all.

They walked to the door of the restaurant. Susan planned to take Emma home.

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded.

“Susan?” Ben was slightly surprised.

Susan was also amazed to see Ben. “Did you eat here too?”

“I just saw my partner off.” Ben nodded. “Shall we go home together?”

“No. I still have something to do…” Susan was trying to refuse.

“It’s okay, Ms. Miller. I’ll take a taxi back myself,” Emma hurriedly said.

“But…”

“It’s really okay. I got to and from work by taxi before,” Emma said. Afraid that Susan would disagree, she opened the taxi app and ordered a taxi.

Seeing that Emma’s whole body tensed up, Susan sighed resignedly.

Ben looked puzzled.

“Ms. Miller, leave with Mr. Landor first,” Emma said in a trembling voice, sounding like she was begging.

She thought, ‘If Ms. Miller can’t go home with Mr. Landor because of me, I will be a sinner, and Ms.

Miller will hate me. After all, I’m very annoying.”

Susan was at her wits‘ end when she saw Emma like this.

To help Emma relax, Susan quickly said, “Okay, okay, I’ll go first, Be careful on the way back.”

Emma’s back relaxed slightly. “I will.”

Ben gave Susan a look as if asking what was going on here.

Susan shook her head and pulled Ben away.

Eason fell silent, thinking, “What’s wrong with this couple? What about me? Neither of them thought about asking me to leave with them?‘

He was in a dilemma now, feeling terribly awkward.

“Miss Garcia…” Eason said thoughtfully.

“Mr. Nicholas.” Emma was startled, wondering why Eason was still here.

“Am I scary?” Eason asked.

Emma panicked again. “No, no. It’s… It’s my own problem.”

Eason really couldn’t understand Emma, so he said politely, “Then I’ll go first. Miss Garcia, see you later.”

Eason thought it was better not to meet such a weird person again.

“OK, see you,” Emma said hastily.

Eason was speechless..

Although he also wanted to leave, he somehow felt a little unhappy seeing Emma so eager to leave.

He thought, ‘Forget it. Don’t be upset with an abnormal person.”

Eason was about to leave.

Suddenly, Emma covered her mouth.

Eason stopped and asked politely, “Miss Garcia, what’s wrong?”

Emma frantically shook her head.

Eason was even more confused. He walked over and said, “If you need any help…”

While he was speaking, Emma threw up at him.

Before Eason could react, his clothes were already stained with strange red and yellow objects.

Eason was stunned.

“Oh…” Emma struggled to say, “I’m sorry…”

Before she could finish, she suddenly fell backward again.

Eason subconsciously supported her.

Then, he looked quietly at the rosy–faced girl in his arms.

Obviously, she was drunk.

Dreamo He thought, ‘What’s wrong with this woman? She can’t hold her liquor, yet she downed a glass of liquor. I thought she had a high tolerance, but she doesn’t at all. Most importantly, what should I do now?‘

Eason was about to call Susan to tell her about the situation.

A car drove over, and Emma’s phone rang at the same time.

Eason answered the phone.

It was the taxi that Emma had ordered online.

The taxi driver saw Emma and said warily, “Your girlfriend is drunk. You need to pay an extra 30 dollars.”

Eason explained, “She’s not my girlfriend.”

The driver replied impatiently, “The same goes for your wife.”

Eason was speechless, not bothering to explain any further.

Seeing Emma like this, he couldn’t leave her alone, so he paid the driver an extra 30 dollars and dragged her into the car.
