Chapter 192: Fake Name
It was something that Mineah had been meaning to talk to Laura about. It had been a while since she saw her friend, so she wanted to spend more time with her for old times’ sake.
"You look like you’re missing me lately," Laura smiled as she sat back on her chair.
"Of course, I do," Mineah chuckled back. "Come now. Spend a few more hours with us. How about a bit of alcohol to drink?"
"Mine, it’s still early for alcohol," Nikolai suddenly scolded.
"Who said that there’s a right time in drinking?" Mineah pouted as she complained to her husband. She then turned to Laura and winked at her as she encouraged, "Go ahead and order something, Laura. I’m sure you know what’s best in this place."

[Why are you worried when you’re with me?] Mineah casually replied. [It’ll be fine. I’m also curious about my alcohol tolerance anyway. I haven’t tried drinking alcohol before, and I might as well try it now.]
It was true. She had a weak constitution, so she did her best to avoid drinking since it would affect her health. That wasn’t the case anymore, however. She was way stronger now than she was before.
"Will it be fine, mi-" Laura was about to ask before she stopped herself from addressing her formally.
"I’m with him, so it’ll be fine," Mineah reassured her while smiling at Nikolai, her husband simply shrugging at the attention. "Now let’s get hammered. Well, not much, but you get the point."
