Noir was a restaurant built on an artificial lake. The many pavilions were actually exquisite private rooms. These rooms were connected by a winding water corridor. From a distance, the brilliant lights created a unique scenery that also carried a sense of luxury.
Justin had a lot to drink, leaning on Agnes' shoulder, he sobbed and said, "Agnes, I really can't bear to part with you. Please divorce Jared and come with me. Let's go to the Eiffel Tower, and all those romantic and fun places."
As Justin spoke, he actually started singing. The melody was very gentle. But sung from the drunken Justin, it was unforgettable.
Justin sat with the director, scriptwriter, and some other key creative personnel. They were all on edge because sitting on the other side of Agnes was Jared.
But Justin insisted on sitting next to Agnes, not clear if he was really drunk or pretending.
During the three months of working together on a movie, Agnes and Justin had become friends. Justin was her childhood playmate, Lil Potato. Maybe because of their mothers, they would talk about things from their childhood, including the warm memories when their mothers were still alive, which Agnes missed greatly.
Agnes said to Justin, "You're drunk, let Yvonne take you home, okay?"
Justin leaned on Agnes's shoulder and refused to leave, "I'm not going. I want a kiss, and a hug."
Justin was really drunk, and Agnes didn't know what to do. She stood up and said to everyone, "I'll take Justin to the rest room, and let him sleep for a while. Then call Yvonne come to pick him up."
With that, she helped Justin up and walked out.
Jared watched their retreating figures, his eyes slowly narrowing. Everyone was nervous for Justin, was he pushing Mr. Whitfield's limits?
They originally thought Mr. Whitfield would have someone forcibly remove Justin. But to their surprise, he asked a waiter, "Do you have anything for sobering up?"
