Chapter 368 Then, Olivia snatched the beer from his hand and chugged whatever was left in the can.
âDo you have more?â
Zac was stunned and did not know how to react. âWhat?â
Iâm talking about the beer. Arenât you drinking?â Olivia sat beside him. âWhy are you drinking alone?â
Zac was in disbelief, and he placed the back of his palm on her forehead. He could feel that she was still warmer than usual.
He finally came back to reality after seemingly confirming that this was Olivia in the flesh.
âLiv, what are you doing out here? You still have a fever. Hurry, and go back to rest.â
However, she did not move and just looked at him. Her eyes were filled with loneliness, but she was still smiling. âZac, let me be selfish tonight. Just for once?â
âNo. Dr. Zucker said...â
She stood up and pulled his hand. She said coquettishly, âDrink with me, please? Just this once.â
She wanted to get wasted tonight..
Although her head was still a little heavy, her heart was still aching.
Alcohol was probably the only thing that could numb her pain.
Zac was helpless towards her wishes. He went back into the room to bring a thick blanket to cover her up and grabbed a can of beer that was left out of the fridge.
âYou can only drink room-temperature beer.â
Olivia nodded obediently.
Seeing how skinny she was, Zac could not help asking, âHave you eaten dinner? Are you hungry?â
Olivia touched her tummy and nodded. âYeah, I am hungry.â
âOkay, wait here, Iâll cook something for you.â
After he went to the kitchen, she supported her chin with her hands and looked up at the sky.
âI wonder what Zy is doing now.â
Olivia wanted to give her a call, but she did not want to disturb her private time with Ken.
Thinking of that, she could not help but think about John as well.
âWhat is he doing with Dorothy now?
âAbove the cocktail party is a room. Have they cuddled and slept already?â
Her heart had been dead ever since the fall.
However, when she saw him carrying Dorothy, her heart was broken once again.
âI guess I just canât accept the fact that he is so unpredictable.â
Not long after, Zac brought out two plates of pasta.
âThereâs nothing much at home, so I made some carbonara. Is that okay?â
Olivia looked at the noodles in front of her and immediately took a huge bite without saying a word.
It was warm and delicious.
âItâs delicious.â
However, when she took the second bite, the tip of her nose started to hurt, and her tears started streaming again.
âZac, youâve saved me once again.â
He was dumbfounded. âDonât say such silly things. Hurry up and eat.â
âAlright.â
She took another bite with her head lowered so no one could see her expression.
However, her shivering shoulders still exposed her emotions.
Zac felt distressed and patted her back gently. âJust cry if you want to. Let it out.â
She whimpered a few times, looked up at him, and forced a smile. âZac, after Iâve taken my revenge, can l work at your law firm forever to repay your deedsâ
Hearing this, he was taken aback. He felt a trace of warmth in his heart, and he reached out to touch her head. âSure. I can cover your food and accommodation, but there will be no salary. Are you willing?â
âOf course.â After saying that, she chuckled. âJust make sure you give me the year-end bonus.â
Zac was amused. âYouâre so cunning. The year-end bonus is hugeâ
She opened the can of beer, and they had a toast. âYou need to save some money for me to raise my brother, right?â
He did not know whether it was because of the alcohol or the sultry night, but Zac suddenly raised his gaze to look at her.
âI can raise both of you.â
