Chapter Capítulo 61
Chapter: 61
Now that she drank up a full glass of wine without stopping, they reasoned that
she was cool and impressive
Edmund didn’t feel the same way as the others. His face darkened as he
watched her.
When did Chelsea start drinking? Didn't she hate alcohol?
Never had he witnessed her taking as little as a sip of alcohol during their
marriage. He had seen her turn down alcoholic drinks at his family parties. Why
didn’t she do the same now?
Didn't she know how men Like Gerry were? They would force her to drink more
since they found out that she could drink well! Why did she behave so
carelessly?
Catching the look on Edmund's face, Chelsea knew exactly what he was
thinking. But how could she have turned down Gerry's drink in front of all these
people?
It was common for newcomers to be people pleasers in the workplace. If she
went against any of her senior colleagues, she would be labeled as proud and
they might give her a hard time
Luka might have stepped in if she didn't take it, but was he going to be by her
side every time? What was she going to do if such a situation arose in the future?
Chelsea didn’t want to be a burden to anyone. She reckoned that it was better to
get the punishment out of the way so Gerry wouldn't pester her about it again.
Besides, she wasn’t scared of drinking. One would think that she wasn’t good at
drinking. But she was actually a good drinker.
She had been friends with Zuri since senior high school. They had started
drinking from that time. Over the years, her tolerance for alcohol increased. A
mere glass of wine couldn't get her drunk.
If Gerry and his cohorts made her drink with them tonight, she would surely show
them that they had nothing on her when it came to creer,
Just as Edmund had feared, Gerry and the others forced Chelsea to drink more.
They all cheered as they downed glasses upon glasses of wine. Luka and
Edmund were the only ones who didn’t join in.
If eyes could kill, Chelsea's body would have blown up into uncountable pieces
because of the glare Edmund had been giving her.
She could feel his gaze, but she didn’t stop or even spare him a glance.
Edmund's palm became so sweaty that his fork was covered in mist. Before he
lost his temper, he turned to look at Luka with a questioning expression. It was as
if he was inciting him to stop Chelsea since he liked her.
Luka got the message. Instead of acting immediately, he averted his gaze and
didn’t move an inch.
He had also been worried about Chelsea. But after he saw the calmness on her
face, he didn’t see the need to worry anymore.
