The waiter invited Nicole and Julie upstairs.
When Nicole entered the door, she asked, “Is that man really your boss’s husband?”
The waiter looked awkward and nodded.
“Yes, this isn’t the first time Mr. Norton has come here to make trouble. From time to time, he would bring his friends here to eat and drink without paying and even hit our boss. Our boss landed up in the hospital several times because of him.”
“Then why don’t you call the police? Domestic violence is illegal.”
The waiter shook his head in bewilderment.
Julie brought Nicole inside.
“I know everything that you want to know.”
She whispered, “I’ll tell you later. But you gotta thank Eric for earlier. Do you want to invite him over?”
Nicole glanced at her. “Isn’t this your birthday party? You decide.”
Now that the ball was in her court, Julie did not want to cause trouble.
Clayton seemed gentle and good-natured, but he could hold a grudge.
Julie did not want to offend Clayton.
She smiled and sat down next to Nicole.
“Forget it then. This is an intimate party, and I’m afraid he’ll feel uncomfortable when he comes.”
Kai was immersed in his singing and could not extricate himself from it. Everyone cheered and applauded.
After the song, Kai prepared flowers and surprises for Julie.
Julie was happy and drank a few more glasses of wine.
Nicole joked with them and felt much more relaxed.
She gave Julie a customized limited-edition bracelet, which made Julie delighted.
Finally, everyone drank a little too much and started playing games.
Kai proposed a very tacky game — Truth or Dare.
It was mainly “Dares” because “Truth” was not exciting enough.
Everyone was excited when they spun the turntable.
When it was Julie’s turn, Kai proposed loudly, “Kiss the man on your right for ten seconds!”
Julie knew that the man on the right was Kai himself.
Everyone sighed.
“That’s cheating!”
“How boring!”
Kai did not care about them because he had to be partial to his wife.
Thus, he leaned forward and kissed Julie for a while. Julie’s face flushed.
In the next game, it was Nicole’s turn.
Nicole’s face froze, and she looked up at Kai.
Kai rubbed his palms, stood up excitedly, pointed at the door, and said loudly, “Kiss the first man you meet when you open the door!”
Nicole’s eyes widened in shock.
“Kai, I’m your sister!”
“I know that. Don’t worry. What goes on here will stay here. I will always keep it a secret for you. We’re having so much fun, so don’t you want to take this opportunity to indulge yourself?”
Kai really drank too much. His face was flushed, and he lost his reason.
He even tried to trick his sister.
‘Fine!’ Nicole thought as she glared at him angrily.
“What if it’s a woman?”
Julie did not dare to go too far and quickly said, “Forget about it then. We’ll consider it a pass.”
Nicole looked at the couple and was so angry that she could not speak.
The rest of the group watched in excitement.
Ian laughed so hard that he spilled his glass of wine all over the floor.
“Kai, you should’ve told me to go outside and wait first!”
Lumi, who was next to Ian, twisted his ear and said, “I dare you to go!”
Ian kept begging for mercy.
There was laughter in the room.
Nicole was helpless. She could not just walk away at this time. Moreover, everyone drank, so it was not good to spoil the fun.
She stood up and walked out slowly, praying that it was a woman that appeared outside the door.
Her hand fell on the doorknob.
Seeing her hesitation, Kai laughed recklessly and booed her.
“Sis, don’t be afraid. You’ve become such a coward after you married Clayton. You weren’t like this before. I’ll take you out to more parties in the future...”
