Marguerite's eyes widened in disbelief as she blurted out, "Are you out of your mind? Tequila with no soft drink, are you trying to get smashed?"
"What soft drink? Tequila may be strong, but it's pretty much on par with vodka. I've never seen any of you dilute vodka with mixers, always making a fuss over nothing!"
Miley quickly instructed the waitress, "Bring a dozen beers and a dozen shots of tequila, please, and hurry it up."
The waitress swallowed hard in shock.
In all her years of service, she had never seen anyone drink like this.
Mixing beer with liquor like that, they wouldn't even know what hit them when they got drunk!
But the customer is always right, and since the 'deity' had spoken, she had no reason to refuse. She swiftly brought the drinks as Miley had requested.
Robert was already feeling a bit down because of the paternity test, but seeing the table full of drinks only sank his spirits further.
With Miley's setup, he feared that before Frederick could get drunk, he might be the first to pass out! But no matter, he steeled himself for what was to come.
He thought to himself as he opened a beer to hand to Frederick, planning to get Frederick drunk gradually. But Miley was quicker, boldly placing a bottle of tequila in front of Frederick.
"Mr. Winston, successful folks like you stick to liquor, right? Leave the beer to us ladies," she said with a charming smile, well-versed in the art of socializing.
Before attempting to persuade him to drink, she made sure to elevate Frederick's status.
Unfortunately, Miley didn't know Frederick well enough to see that he wouldn't fall for her approach.
Frederick elegantly forked a piece of steak into his mouth without even lifting an eyelid, his tone indifferent, "The one who's upset is him, not me."
Frederick's reaction caught Miley off guard, and her brain froze for a second.
However, she was quick to react and slid the bottle of tequila towards Marguerite instead.
"If Mr. Winston doesn't drink, Marguerite will join us instead."
