Their rendezvous turned out to be a karaoke that Logan picked as he said he was a VIP member there, where he
could get some discounts. After flagging down a cab, they hit the road and headed toward their destination. Soon,
the driver asked, “Did you rub anyone the wrong way recently, ladies?”
Sophia paused, confused by the driver’s words. “Um… no? Who could we rub the wrong way?” Nevertheless, the
driver only stared at both ladies from the rearview mirror without saying a single word. Not long after that, the car
pulled up outside the karaoke, but when Sophia exited the cab, the driver reminded her about her safety. “Be
careful because it’s getting late now. The street is no place for ladies like you two in the late night, so try to stick
with your friends.”
While those words sounded like a friendly reminder to Sophia, she smiled and thanked the driver. As soon as they
entered the karaoke, the driver drove off, clearly seeing the entrance from the rearview mirror. Then, he pulled
over by the roadside and remained in the car.
Meanwhile, Logan was already waiting inside by the time Sophia and Robin arrived. Soon, they were greeted by a
table of food and boxes of beers placed by the door. Besides, Logan was seen with two of his men whom he
brought along from his clubhouse, and Sophia had known them since the last time they played poker together.
Therefore, they hit it off pretty quickly, while Zack only arrived twenty minutes later. Nevertheless, it didn’t take him
long to fit in as he was less reserved at that moment than his usual self.

and the rest spent half a day looking for her after she got too drunk and wandered off. Therefore, she restrained
herself from indulging in alcohol, this time with the incident deeply etched in her mind. No matter how many times
Zack toasted her, she always waved her hand and turned him down. “Nah! I’m good. I’m actually still having a
hangover from a few days ago, so if I drink more than I can handle now, I might be gone forever.”
Zack didn’t know what happened previously, so he only smiled and said, “Well, there are so many of us here, and
you think we can’t take care of you? Come on, you’re worrying too much!”
Soon, Robin saw what Zack did and leaned closer. “Let me drink on Sophia’s behalf. I’d like to enjoy some beer
tonight because I never really got to do this back then.” In fact, she wasn’t exaggerating her story because she had
always been rather disciplined, never allowing herself to attend any crazy party in the past. Apart from that, Robin
was also guilty about what happened to Sophia, who got drunk and went missing the last time due to a promise she
made to take care of her friend. Therefore, she decided to make it up to Sophia by drinking on her behalf.
Logan then chimed in, “Alright, it’s fine by me since Robin insists, plus I’ve never seen her drink before. You’re quite
the man, Zack! From what I remember, no one could make Robin drink the last time we had fun together.”
After hearing what Logan said, Zack decided to cut Sophia some slack and toasted Robin instead. Halfway through
their celebration, Sophia even headed outside to order some food from the manager in order to dampen the
effects of the alcohol. At the same time, everyone was enjoying the food and drinks while having a great time in the
room.
A few moments later, Robin gazed at Sophia and said, “I’m going to use the washroom. I’ll be back soon.”
She didn’t drink a lot, and she looks fine, besides her rosy cheeks. “Alright, you know where the washroom is,
right?” Sophia nodded and asked.
“Yeah, I got this. Don’t worry.” Robin nodded in response and exited the room after that, leaving Sophia behind, who
was eating while listening to Logan sing, in the room.
A few minutes went by as Sophia looked at the time when Robin still hadn’t returned. The next moment, she laid
down the things in her hands while wondering to herself. Don’t tell me this lady got drunk and wandered off like I did
the last time. After a few more minutes, Sophia got too worried to keep waiting, after which she decided to stand
up and search for a friend. It was then that she realized their room was slightly far away from the washroom, which
was situated at the end of the corridor.
