Robert did not answer the question. He just kept chatting and drinking with Samuel and others.

"It's so hot." Daphne wiped the sweat on herforehead and unbuttoned a few buttons around her neck.

A few people sitting in the distance did not notice anything unusual. However, Robert, who sat beside Daphne, was slightly taller than her. He merely moved his gaze and could see her exposed skin.

At the same time, Daphne moved and leaned closer to Robert as her chest swayed.

Robert quickly looked away.

An imperceptible smile appeared on Daphne's face.

"I've been drinking all day and didn't eat much.Let me have some." Daphne got up and bent her body slightly to take some food.

From this angle, Daphne's neckline was facing Robert.

With Daphne's constant movement, her chest kept swaying in front of Robert.

When she had enough, Daphne took a few kebabs and sat down again. A faint smile appeared on her face all the time.

No one except Robert noticed Daphne's strange behavior.

Robert found it awkward to speak about this directly, so he turned around and chatted with Eric and Simon. He would not turn his head to avoid seeing Daphne.

"Here's a toast for you, Lucy." Daphne went toLucy to drink together again.

Lucy was naturally not afraid of Daphne. The two girls soon had a few glasses of wine, and their faces turned red.

Daphne reached out and covered her forehead. "You're amazing, Lucy. I'm a little dizzy. Wait forme to rest before we continue drinking."

With that, Daphne rested on the couch. Her body tilted to the side naturally, and she leaned against the back of Robert's chair.

Robert, who was chugging with Eric and Simon, suddenly felt something strange from behind him. Before he could look back, he felt a hand on his thigh.

Robert lowered his head and found it was Daphne's hand. The specially designed manicure kept sliding on his thigh, which felt ticklish.

Robert could not help but shudder, and he became half sober.

Robert did not know whether Daphne was really drunk, but Robert was still cautious as he was the director of Zabinski Group.

As he looked at the few bottles of alcohol left on the table, Robert stood up and said, "I think we have enough drinks for today. We have work for the next two days, after all. We can drink as much as we want during Columbus Day. That's all for today.”

Samuel looked like he was chatting happily on the surface, but he felt like he was on pin s and needles. When he heard Robert propose to leave, Samuel also agreed with him.

Only Daphne, lying there after drinking too much, showed a trace of reluctance in her eyes, but no one noticed it. She stumbled to her feet but lost her balance and fell on Robert.

Before Robert could react, Daphne had already jumped into Robert's arms.

Robert hurriedly took a step back and held Daphne firmly.

"I'm sorry!" Daphne hurriedly apologized,"I'mreally drunk today."

"Don't drink like that in the future, Daphne,"Samuel reminded her.

This reminder made Lucy glare at Samuel with dissatisfaction. Samuel quickly shrank his neck and stopped speaking.

Robert ran to pay the bill as the others exited the kebab shop. They headed to the end of the street and were ready to call the cab.

On the way, the sky had turned completely dark. Robert took out his phone and saw the last message he had sent Marilyn half an hour ago, but Marilyn never replied again. It was past 10 p. m. They had been drinking for several hours. Marilyn should have fallen asleep at such an hour.

As he thought of this, Robert put away his phone and planned to send a message to Marilyn when he got home.

At the end of Tidgate Street.

Marilyn was wearing a beige windbreaker and

carrying her purse as she stood on the street with a tall and handsome man.
