She said it in a relaxed manner and looked completely unaffected. Melissa could not help but stare at her in shock as well.
She was so experienced in social drinking and smoking but even she found it challenging to drink spirits like that. What does a little girl like Megan think she is doing?
Melissa could not help but snigger as she handed the glass to Megan. With her chin held high, she looked down at Megan arrogantly and said, “Alright, our big celebrity here says that she is a good drinker. Let us see you down this glass then!”
Megan took a look at the translucent alcohol in the glass, and its scent eventually permeated Megan's nostrils.
She took over the glass and took in a whiff of its scent. Instantly she frowned a little.
This was stronger than she had expected.
“Come on!”
Melissa was observing every single one of her moves. With a little smile, she prepared herself to laugh at Megan whom she expected to be puking incessantly later.
“I don't need you to rush me.” She glanced coldly at Melissa. Megan held up the glass and her lips touched the edge. At this moment, Francesca pulled her back and shook her head lightly.
“Don't worry, it's just a glass.”
Megan looked at her reassuringly before lifting the glass and downing the entire drink in one gulp.
At that very moment, the heat from the alcohol traveled from her throat to her digestive system. She began to burn up and even her pale face turned redder by the second.
However, Megan was not affected at all. She held her glass and indicated to Anderson that she had finished the drink as per his request.
“I'm done.”
Indeed, the aftereffect of the spirit was quite strong. She was already feeling a little dizzy.
This body of hers was not as tolerant towards alcohol. If it were the past, she could hold her drinks better.
“Looks like Ms. Rockford can hold her drinks well,” Anderson said and glanced at her. His sharp eyes were already set on her swaying stance
