Chapter 234

“Lily just said she lives in…” Jenny still had not recovered from her initial shock “I know, but she was referring to Lake Hills, about two blocks away from Imperial Hills,” Oliva replied in a hurry, “Actually, Lily once joked that she wanted to own a place in Imperial Hills. Unsurprisingly, she‘s repeating this since she‘s quite wasted now.” “I almost had a heart attack!” Jenny sighed in relier, finally accepting Olivia‘s logical explanation.

“Haha, me too! Wait till she‘s sober tomorrow. I‘ll never let her live it down!” Olivia joked.

“Nah, we shouldn‘t. On second thought, I should come with you. I‘m still quite worried about you girls,”

Jenny said as she flagged a cab. She opened the door for them both and wanted to get into the car as well.

After ensuring Lily was comfortable, Olivia rushed over to stop Jenny from getting into the car, “It‘s okay. I‘ll make sure she gets home safely. If you come along, it might be a hassle for you since we‘d have to take care of her. You should go home and rest since you‘re working tomorrow. Don‘t worry, and I‘ll text you when we get to Lily‘s place.”

“But...” Jenny liesitated, but she knew Olivia was right. In the end, she gave in and nodded.

“Okay, but please be careful! Just text me if you need help,” Jenny reminded them and jotted down the cab‘s plate number.

When the car sped away, Olivia could finally sigh in relief. She turned toward Lily and was astonished by her behavior. She had worked with Lily for many years but had never seen her in this state. It was unusual for her.

The cab drove them to Imperial Hills but could not enter as the security guards stopped them. Olivia did not know which block Lily lived in, nor did she have Alexander‘s contact number. The only thing she could do was to wake Lily up.

“Lily, Lily, we‘re here! Which block do you live in?” Olivia asked as she patted her face gently.

“Ugh... Be quiet!” Lily frowned and cracked her eyes open before closing them again. Olivia was speechless. She thought of looking through Lily‘s phone, but the cab driver hurried them to get out of his car before she could do that. Olivia had no choice but to help Lily out. She could not fumble for Lily‘s phone when half of Lily‘s body was leaning against hers.

“Lily, wake up. We‘re here! You can continue to sleep once you‘re home!” Olivia kept trying to wake her up while feeling for Lily‘s phone. Just then, a car drove by and pulled up next to them.

Olivia stepped in front of Lily and moved them both a few steps back. The car stopped in front of them and lowered one of their windows.

Alexander looked at them with a frown, “What‘s the meaning of this?” When Olivia saw him, she was relieved, “Mr. Russell! We went out for a drink to celebrate, but Lily had too much to drink, so she‘s drunk.” Olivia could not help but feel afraid when she met Alexander‘s eyes. She secretly prayed that Lily would wake up, so she did not have to face him alone!

“Get in,” Alexander ordered as he got out of the car and took Lily from Olivia‘s arms. Olivia‘s body felt lighter, and she sighed, “Um, Mr. Russell, since Lily is home, I‘ll leave.” “You, stay. It‘s difficult to flag a cab here.”

Olvia was surprised that Alexander stopped her from leaving “I– It‘s okay. I‘ll just walk a few minutes to the main road to flag one,” she tried her best to convince Alexander that it was not a problem, but he would not take no for an answer. He instructed, “Let Edward send you home.” Olivia could only comply.
