Even if everyone went dutch, each of them would probably have to pay 6,000 or 7,000 dollars.

Although this figure was bearable for these colleagues, it was too much for her.

‘Is this what Andrea Schwartz is planning to do?’ Grace thought to herself.

However, now that the food was served, there was no point for her to say or do anything.

She had 6,000 to 7,000 thousand dollars on hand, but after she paid for this meal, she would have to tighten her belt and pinch her pennies.

“Hear ye, hear ye. Here’s to our new colleague, Grace!” Some colleagues raised their gla**es and began toasting.

Grace, as the main character, was of course the focus of the toast.

Grace was not a very good drinker. After a few drinks, she was already a bit dizzy.

Therefore, she could only repeatedly decline toasts from her colleagues and made an excuse to go to the bathroom.

In the bathroom, Grace leaned over the sink and washed her cheeks, which were steaming from alcohol, with water.

Then, she gazed at herself in the mirror with her almond-shaped eyes. Her hair on her forehead and cheeks were dripping with water. Her cheeks, delicate nose, and lips seemed more rosy than usual.

As her eyes blinked gently, her eyelashes would fan like a small fan.

In the past, she had always felt that her eyelashes were quite long and beautiful. Sometimes when she put on light makeup, she did not even need mascara. However, after meeting Jason, she realized that one could forget about women when even men’s eyelashes were beautiful.

‘Jay’s eyelashes are so beautiful. With those bright eyes, every quiver of his eyelashes seems to arouse people’s hearts, making me unable to resist…

‘God, why am I thinking of him again?’

Grace shook her head immediately and washed her face with cold water again to make herself sober.

‘There’s no more Jay in this world. There’s only Jason!’

Taking a deep breath, Grace walked out of the bathroom. Even after washing her face with cold water, her brain was still a little dizzy and she was probably going to be even drunker later.

Just then, her phone rang. She took it out and saw that it was Lina calling.

She pressed the answer button and Lina’s voice came from her phone.

“Grace, where are you? Why aren’t you at the rental house?”

“You… came looking for me?” asked Grace. However, as soon as she opened her mouth, she got a little tongue-tied because of her drunken state.

“Yes, what’s happened to you? Why is your voice a little slurred?” asked Lina.

“I drank a little.”

“You drank? Where are you now?”

Lina got nervous instantly. After all, her best friend never really liked to drink!

“I’m at Drunken Days,” replied Grace.

Now, Lina got even more nervous. After all, Drunken Days was no ordinary place. “I’m coming to pick you up. Wait for me. Stay there!”

With that, Lina hung up the phone.

Grace could not help but chuckle. ‘Does Lina think of me as a child? But… How nice it is to be cared for!

‘Lina is probably the only person who cares about me so much!’

Just as Grace was about to wobble on, she suddenly stopped in her tracks. She saw a figure coming down the stairs not far ahead.

‘That’s… Jason!’

Grace could not help feeling a slight heat in her eyes.

Unlike before through the car window when she could only vaguely see a silhouette, his figure was so clear in her eyes now.

It was so clear that even her eyes were hurting.

He was wearing a crisp suit. His bangs were still combed back, revealing his full forehead. His delicate features set off his angular face. There seemed to be an endless attraction in every act and gesture of his.

Seeing that his eyes were about to glance in her direction, Grace made a conscious attempt to avoid him.

She had ducked to one side, but she accidentally bumped into another man instead.

“Sorry!” She hastened to apologize.

“Are you f*cking blind? How dare you bump into me? Do you know who I am?”

the man Grace hit said drunkenly.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to.” All she could do now. was apologize.

At the same time, she could feel eyes on her. It was probably… his eyes.

‘He must have seen the mess I’m in right now.’

A bitter and sour feeling spread in her heart.

It was as if the last bit of her dignity and pride were getting in the way. Even if they had broken up and even if he had seen her in an embarra**ing state countless times… She still did not want him to see her embarra**ment and confusion.

Her head seemed to have gotten dizzier.

She wanted to get out of here as soon as she could.

However, the man she bumped into was not going to let her go that easily.

“If you really want to apologize, how about having a drink with me? I swear you’ve never tried such fine wine!” As he spoke, he tried to put his arm around

Grace.

Grace ducked sideways to avoid his hands. She knew he was a scoundrel, and it was no use apologizing.

Her priority now was to get out of here.

However, her dodging irritated him, so the man lifted his foot and kicked Grace.

Grace stumbled onto the ground and felt a pain in her left waist.

“F*ck you! I want you to drink with me because I respect you. How dare you dodge me? Why? Do you despise me? I’m going to teach you a lesson today and make you understand!”

As he spoke, the man raised his hand and was about to hit Grace.

Grace was already slow because she was drunk and was even kicked earlier. She could not avoid him if she wanted to.

His palm was about to fall on her body, but in the next moment, the man let out a blood-curdling shriek.

Grace stared blankly as the man’s hand was stopped by another. It was a beautiful, clean hand that she knew very well.

‘That’s… Jason’s hand!

‘Did he… save me?’

“Let go. Do you know who I…” Before the drunk man could finish, there was a clattering noise that came from bones dislocating.

Then came the man’s more violent cries.

Some of the customers around the club were now looking in their direction.

With a flick of his hands, Jason threw the drunk man to Terrence who was following behind him. He then walked up to Grace and asked, “Are you alright?”

She stared blankly at him. It was not a hallucination caused by her drunken state. He was really in front of her and was so close too.

Only his eyes, which had always looked at her gently, were now endlessly dark.

“I’m… alright. Thank you,” she said dryly, struggling to get up.

However, once she moved her body, there was a pain in the left side of her waist where the man had kicked her, making her brows furrow.

“Is it painful?” The cold voice once again rang in her ears. Then, the beautiful hand rested on her waist where it hurt.

Grace’s body stiffened immediately. She felt as though all the blood in her body was rushing to that one spot.

His face got closer to hers. It was so close that she could see his long black lashes.

Sure enough… They re beauti

That was probably how her once stagnant heart was touched, but now it had become stagnant again.
