Chapter 115: Drinking Fellow (2)
Dani’s eyes widened when Abel pulled her close to him and casually put his arm on her shoulders.
"Yes, we’ll use my usual private room," Abel remarked with a curt bow. "Deliver us the best drinks you have. We’re planning to get drunk the whole night, so make sure there will be no disturbances." He then gave her a mocking smile as he guided her to their supposed room. "Come now. You started this, my drinking fellow."
Dani pursed her lips at his behavior, but she didn’t bother to debate him further since she didn’t want to cause a commotion. Instead, she let Abel’s arm linger over her shoulders. It was the first time for her to get this close to a man, and she felt a bit weird about it for some reason.
As soon as they were in a private room, Dani immediately yanked Abel’s arm off her shoulders.
"How dare you touch me!" she exclaimed with a dark glare on her face as she sat on the nearest chair.
Despite her outburst, Abel simply chuckled, and she was about to retort when a few servants knocked on their door. Letting them in, they quickly served them the drinks and some snacks that were expected of their supposed arrangements.
"A while ago, you looked sincere in saying that you’ll accompany me for a drink so that I’ll have someone who knows my secret with Rosela," he grunted as he started pouring a few drinks into their glasses. "That you’ll be my drinking fellow to ease away my misery from losing her... So here. Drink with me!"
Abel promptly downed his drink in one shot, Dani shrugged and started drinking with him quietly. She had planned to wait a bit before leaving him alone for a while to talk to Laura, but she could probably do so while having a few drinks of her own.
"Since when did your secret relationship with Rosela start anyway?" Dani asked after a while of drinking. "Who approached who first?"
