âYou canât hold your liquor, let me do it!â Chandler said.
As he spoke, he took the glass from Tinaâs hand and drank it all in one gulp.
Tina stared at Chandler, who had finished his drink.
Did Chandler just help Kit by drinking for him?
Suddenly, the room fell silent. Even Mr. Perkins, who initially wanted Kit to drink three glasses, felt a moment of awkwardness. Fortunately, someone quickly tried to liven up the atmosphere.
Kit, realizing that the conversation had shifted away from him, quietly left his seat and headed to the restroom.
He hadnât eaten much since last night, and he had consumed quite a bit of alcohol during the dinner.
His stomach felt like a whirlpool at this moment.
Leaning over the toilet in the restroom, Kit began to vomit.
However, since he hadnât eaten much in the first place, he didnât vomit much.
After he finished vomiting, he wearily walked over to the sink, rinsed his mouth, carefully wiped the corners of his lips, and then tidied up his appearance in front of the mirror.
Todayâs dinner was arranged by his father, solely to impress these big shots and gain access to better resources.
Although he felt disgusted inside, he couldnât resist his fatherâs arrangements.
Just endure a little longer⦠Endure until the day he can completely break free from his father! Kit said to himself in his mind.
In the mirror, he appeared delicate and handsome. It was this face that made others like him and brought him more advantages.
If he didnât have this face, perhaps even if he was his fatherâs illegitimate child with a blood relationship, his father wouldnât have taken him out of the orphanage.
He didnât need to care about Tina. As long as he pretended she didnât exist, todayâs dinner would be no different from previous ones!
However, as he walked out of the restroom, his footsteps abruptly halted because Tina was standing right at the restroom entrance.
And from the way she looks, itâs obvious sheâs waiting for him!
Because as soon as she saw him come out, her eyes lit up.
âYou finally came out!â Tina breathed a sigh of relief.
âIf you didnât come out, I was about to go into the menâs restroom to find you!â
âMiss Stephenson, do you need something from me?â
Kit said nonchalantly.
Tina frowned. âDidnât we already address each other by our names earlier?â The sudden use of âMiss Stephensonâ made her feel a bit strange.
Kitâs lashes trembled slightly, and he lowered his gaze. âAlright, Tina, what do you need from me?â
âWere you vomiting in there just now?â she asked. She heard faint sounds of vomiting coming from inside. âWhen I saw you leave the private room, your complexion was really bad. Was it because of yesterday in the elevator, youâ¦â
âIâm fine,â he interrupted her. âThank you for your concern, but I really have no issues.â
âI see,â Tina hesitated for a moment. âThen donât drink anymore when you go back into the private room later. Your face is as pale as a sheet of paper now. If you feel uncomfortable later, just blink at me and Iâll find a way for you to leave early.â
âWhy are you being so kind to me?â Kit suddenly asked.
âHuh?â Tina was taken aback. âBecause you like the idol, right?â
Kit bitterly smiled in his heart. Yes, isnât that the obvious answer? But what was he hoping for? Was he expecting a different answer?
