After that, Dazaray came to my side and invited me to sing.
I was sensible enough to know that Mr. Isaac was here to have a business talk with Theo. He placed a few young ladies by Theo's side because he wanted Theo t o drink more and make talking business easier.
I was in the way because I had been sitting next to Theo the whole time without saying a word. That was why he sent Dazaray to take me away.
I did not know how to sing nor did I like singing. I could not help but feel irritated when she forced me to sing.
Therefore, I got up and said, "It's getting late and we should get back to Shannon and the rest.’’
Dazaray frowned, clearly unwilling to leave. "What's the hurry? Let’s stay a while more."
She handed me a glass of wine after saying that.
I pursed my lips and said lightly, "I drank a lot today and can’t drink anymore."
Dazaray smiled faintly. "This won't make any difference. Once you drink this glass, then I'll let bygones be bygones. We'll be best friends from now o n."
I looked at her, not saying a word or taking the glass.
She was a person with a complex mind. It was not the greatest idea to befriend her.
Dazaray grabbed my hand and stuffed the glass into i t. If I did not drink it, then we would both stay awkward. I had no choice but to drink it.
I was just about to drink it when a hand reached over and took the glass from my hand.
I was stunned and looked at the man beside me.
