Mary blinked her eyes and unconsciously felt tense.
"William..."
"What's wrong?" Hearing Frank's words, William frowned and asked, "Are you drunk?"
"Just a little..." Frank's voice came again. "When will you come back, William?"
"Soon," replied William, pursing his lips. "I'll be back soon."
"I... I'm waiting for you in the Love Bar... Same place." After saying that, Frank hung up the phone.
"Hello? Frank? Hello? Hey."
Frowning, William hung up the phone. 'What is Frank doing? Why is he drinking alone? Does he know that Mary and I... No way...
"Watts, hurry up." Confused, William said to the driver coldly.
"Yes, sir."
Hearing that, Mary sighed. In her heart, she felt mixed feelings. After hanging up the phone, Frank hurried to the Love Bar with a sly smile.
William's car sped along, taking half the usual time to rush back to A City and made it to the bar.
"Stop the car!" The car stopped at the gate of the Love Bar.
"Watts, send her home. I have something to deal with. I'll go back by myself," said William.
"Yes, sir."
"Mary, I'm leaving now," said William, looking at her.
After saying that, he opened the door and left. William's tall figure instantly entered the door of the bar.
The car started again, and they left.
"Can you send me to the municipal hospital?" said Mary.
"But, madam—"
"I want to see my mother. It won't take long."
"Okay." Watts nodded and drove to the hospital.
Mary walked into the in-patient department and came to the familiar place. She unexpectedly saw Lucas there. He was chatting with her mother, and the two looked very happy.
"What are you talking about?" Mary walked in with a smile.
"Mary is coming!" Her mother smiled when she saw her.
"Yes, Mom." Mary came over and greeted Lucas.
"I heard from Dr. Murong that you went for a trip. How did it go? Did you have a good time?"
"Yes, it's fun." Mary nodded. "I'll take you there next time!"
"Okay, okay."
Lucas stood aside and said with a smile, "I'll leave you two to talk."
"Okay." Mary nodded.
In the VIP box of the Love Bar, Frank sat alone with a small pill in his hand. He then threw it into the wine glass. He picked up the wine glass and shook it. The pill instantly melted.
Click!
All of the sudden, the door of the box opened. William appeared at the door, looking anxious.
"Frank!"
"William..." Frank smiled and stood up with the wine glass in his hand.
"Why are you drinking so much? What happened?" asked William in an unfriendly tone. He saw the bottles on the table and frowned.
"Come on, William. Let's drink together!" Frank raised his glass and said, "I'll tell you when you drink."
"I won't drink! Go back with me."
"No way!" Frank broke free and said, "William! If you don't drink it, I will drink it!"
He then raised the glass and put it to his mouth.
"Give it to me!" With a cold face, William snatched the glass, glanced at Frank, raised his head, and drank it up. "Well, what's the matter? Are you happy now?"
"Nothing..."
Raising his eyebrows, Frank sat back on the sofa with his head down. A successful smile flashed across his face.
"Let's go home first." William sighed and sat down.
"Home? Which home?" Frank laughed at himself. He poured another two glasses of wine, one for himself and the other for William. "I'm homeless.
"You still have me." William took the wine but did not drink it.
"You? Huh..." Frank drank up the wine in one gulp and asked, "Then why did you go out with Mary instead of me?"
"I...” Hearing that, William frowned. He could not explain why so he just drank the wine in one gulp.
"William, don't you want to be with me anymore?"
"Yes..." William felt more and more uncomfortable so he drank faster and faster.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, William suddenly felt so dizzy. His sight was doubling and he could not think straight anymore. 'Am I already drunk so soon?' he thought to himself then shook his head hard.
"What's wrong? William?" Frank asked.
"Nothing, nothing..." William frowned and smiled.
"One more drink!"
"No, I won't..." William shook his head and fell on the table all of a sudden.
"William? William?" Frank put the wine glass down and shook William's body vigorously.
William seemed to be so drunk he remained motionless. Frank smiled with relief, raised his eyebrows, and helped William out of the room.
"Slow down, William." Frank helped the drunk William to Kylin International. He took out the key to the apartment and opened the door.
