Bowen was a considerate person. He just whispered something to Eliza. After the dishes were served, he stopped talking to Eliza and started chatting with Summer instead.
He humbly asked a few questions about the characters in the script. After talking for a while, the ice was broken.
As Eliza became happier, she suggested drinking some beer. Summer only drank with Jessica before. So, she refused, "I don't drink."
"Come on. Have a drink." As Eliza spoke, she asked the waiter to bring some beer over.
Bowen reached out to cover the cup and said in a low voice, "Don't drink too much. There will be an opening ceremony tomorrow."
"I know." Eliza nodded and started pouring the beer.
Summer didn't drink, and Eliza didn't force her.
After they finished supper and walked out of the restaurant, Eliza staggered and almost fell.
Fortunately, Bowen quickly supported her and frowned, saying, "Are you drunk?"
"I just drank two cups..." Eliza raised her head and stretched out her hand in a daze, wanting to hold up two fingers, but failed.
"Probably because the alcohol content was too high. She was usually a good drinker." Bowen supported Eliza and frowned slightly.
To be on the safe side, Summer took Eliza and walked away from Bowen. Although Eliza was a little drunk, she still retained a trace of consciousness.
When Summer sent Eliza back to her room, Eliza was already a little sober. She sat on the bed and asked confusedly, "Where's my phone?"
"Your phone?" Summer searched for a while but couldn't find it. She remembered when they came out, Eliza's belongings were in Bowen's hands. "Bowen has your phone, right?"
Eliza's response was a little slow after drinking. She was in a daze for a while and said, "I'll go get it."
After she finished speaking, she stood up and walked towards the door.
If she went out like this, she would definitely go to knock on Bowen's door.
Summer directly pulled Eliza back onto the sofa. Eliza wanted to stand up again, but Summer grasped her arm tightly. "If you don't want to see some gossip headlines tomorrow, just wait here. I'll go get it for you!"
As expected, Eliza calmed down the moment she heard the words "gossip headlines." She weakly grabbed Summer's hand, saying, "Then help me get my..."
Summer was not used to Eliza's weak look as a little rabbit at all. She pulled out her hand and said, "Then I'll go get it for you. Wait here."
When she went out and closed the door, she saw Eliza staring at her. Summer couldn't help but laugh because her eyes were similar to Rosie's somehow.
Bowen watched as Eliza and Summer got on the taxi before taking a taxi back, so he arrived home a little late.
When Summer knocked on the door, Bowen had just returned. He just called Eliza and discovered that Eliza's phone was with him.
Just as he was thinking about how to deliver it to Eliza, he heard someone knocking on the door.
"Who is it?" Bowen walked to the door and asked.
Summer replied, "It's me, Summer."
