Chapter 9 Tonight , the bar was closed for a team building event .
The venue was , of course , the bar itself , where everyone was used to hanging out .
The activities naturally revolved around drinking , playing dice , and cards .
As the night went on , we ended up playing Truth or Dare .
I dont know if it was just bad luck or what , but several times the bottle ended up pointing at me .
The dare I drew was to kiss the person next to me .
To be honest , if it had just been drinking for the dare , I wouldnt have minded .
But when I saw that the person sitting next to me was Adrian , I decided to tease him .
I made a move as if I was about to kiss him , but he suddenly pulled back , holding up his glass 1/10 Chapter 5 Points and drinking it all in one go .
Ill drink for her , he said .
His action caught me off guard , and I could hear my friend Mina teasing me from across the table .
Ellie , looks like your charms gone down , huh ? Little bros not interested ? I just smiled and shrugged .
I hadnt planned on actually kissing him .
I was only joking .
But Adrian seemed genuinely offended .
His face , flushed from the alcohol , turned serious as he looked at Mina and said , Ellie is very charming .
Its Ellie who doesnt like me … 19 His words left me momentarily stunned , and Mina was caught off guard too before 2/10 Chapter 9 I Los A Gu { { { { { * 5 Points quickly reacting .
So , does that mean your like Ellie ? Adrians face turned bright red , and he stammered , unwilling to answer .
Mina , not one to back off , pressed further , What do you like about Ellie ? Apart from her good looks , what else ? I couldnt help but laugh awkwardly , realizing how hopeless I seemed in front of my teasing friends .
After hearing this , Adrian immediately became serious .
Ellie is perfect ! Youre not allowed to speak badly about her ! Even in his drunken state , he dared to stand up to Mina , the vice president of the bar .
Yet , she didnt get angry .
Instead , she gave me a meaningful look .
3/10 Chapter + 5 Points I ignored her gaze , as most of the others had already drunk themselves into a stupor , so the conversation didnt continue .
I ended up sending everyone home in taxis , one by one .
In the end , Adrian was the last to leave .
He kept muttering about wanting to take me home to make sure that bad guy didnt bother me .
Bad guy , of course , referred to Jarvis .
It took a little effort , but I managed to get him to leave .
Mina watched the car drive off and said , Adrians not bad .
Have you thought about it ? I stared at the dark night for a long time before quietly replying , Im not thinking about that right now .
4/10 Chapter 9 + 5 Points Since that day , after Jarvis left , he didnt return .
But someone else showed up Gianna .
She came up to my bar and ordered a drink .
Thanks to Jarvis , I knew Gianna couldnt handle alcohol .
I kindly suggested , Youre not feeling well , we have non alcoholic drinks .
But she wasnt grateful .
Instead , she threw the menu back at me and snapped , Just do your job and stop meddling .
I didnt insist any further and made the drink .
But once she started sipping it , she began nitpicking .
I wasnt sure what her purpose was , but if 5/10 Chapter 9 + 5 Points she was deliberately looking for trouble , I would have to ask her to leave .
I waved to call over a waitress to get security , but Gianna suddenly stood up , pointing at me and shouting loudly , You slut ! Youre flirting with my husband ! Youve already divorced him , and Im about to marry .
him .
Why are you still clinging to him ? Everyone , come look at this woman , shamelessly seducing another womans husband ! Her words immediately drew the attention of the people around us .
Adrian , hearing the commotion , rushed over and yelled , What nonsense are you talking about ?! Gianna shrank back , but then raised her 6/10 Chapter 9 de fueres + 5 Points voice even louder , And now theres a man here too ! Elena , youre truly shameless ! Adrian clenched his fists , about to retort , but I stopped him .
Gianna , Jarvis once said you were like a madwoman , and I didnt believe it , but now I do .
Do you think I dont have proof of the things you and Jarvis did in the past ? Do you want me to remind you , step by step ? I had kept evidence of their messages and their inappropriate behavior , just in case they tried to turn things around and accuse me falsely .
