Just after Summer took a few sips, the door of the private room was opened again.
Jessica narrowed her eyes and looked carefully at the door. She saw the person entered was Leonardo.
She turned around and smiled at Summer mischievously, "Hey, Leonardo is here. You're dead."
Summer was stiffened. She hurriedly put down the wine bottle in her hands t when she realized she was still holding it. She looked at Leonardo nervously, "I just... took a sip."
She thought she could drink without letting Leonardo know before she went home. Even if Leonardo would be angry when she went home drunk, she could just act like a child and apologize to him. She knew Leonardo could not blame her when she behaved like that.
But now, Leonardo caught her on the spot. That would be a different story.
Seeing that Summer's face was not pink, Leonardo knew Summer probably had just started drinking. The look on his face was less serious.
However, Summer could never have thought that her best friend, Jessica, would rat her out.
Jessica had drunk too much, and was drunk now. She could not think straight at the moment.
She pointed her finger at Summer and told Leonardo the truth, "Summer took much more than a sip. Look! Half of her wine is gone..."
As Jessica spoke, she even pointed at the wine bottle Summer had just put down.
Leonardo's face clouded over again, and Summer was lost for words.
Leonardo strode towards Summer. Jessica just sat there and watched, but her smile faded soon, because Carl also followed Leonardo in.
The light at the door was dim, and Jessica was drunk. That was why she didn't seen Carl just now. After Leonardo walked towards Summer, Jessica could see Carl now.
Jessica immediately became much soberer. She slowly put down the bottle in her hand and stared at Carl with cold eyes.
Being stared by Jessica, Carl felt as if he had needles in his flesh.
Carl walked towards Jessica and stopped when he was half a meter away from her. He licked his dry lips and said in a hoarse voice, "Why did you drink so much?"
