Chapter 115 - 114. Family Reunion
Lee Hyun was in bewilderment, Sarah could tell. Perhaps even dread. She actually thought the man would just hide until she left the room, but it seemed like the trouble would be too much if they ended up getting roughed up by the gangsters wearing the skin of a company.
And so, he couldn’t help but step forward.
"...Oh?" the older man on the couch--the only one seated on the couch for that matter--arched his brow higher. It was the same with the other men, whose hostile gaze had turned into curiosity.
"Uncle, what are you doing here?" Sarah, acting like a child, half-ran past the men toward her uncle, with her cautious puppy in tow. The uncle must be weirded out by this behaviour since Sarah had been acting sharp and showing her dislike, but Sarah could chalk it up to being drunk. "Oh! Is this your party? I don’t know you like partying!"
The uncle, who had stepped out of the sitting area, held her shoulder to halt her advance into the room. Essentially, he was also covering her sight from whatever was happening around the table. "Sarah, you shouldn’t be here."
"I knoow! I think we took the wrong turn," Sarah giggled and stumbled back, crashing into her bodyguard who quickly caught her and held her waist securely so she wouldn’t keep bouncing here and there.
At least, that was how Lee Hyun saw it.
He frowned, scrunching his nose at the sharp alcohol scent from his niece. Or it could be the smell from the table, but she also looked like she had done downing a bottle or two before even coming to the club. "How much did you drink?"
"Umm...like..." Sarah pursed her lips and narrowed her eyes, arms stretching wide as she tried to think. "A looot?"
The uncle clicked his tongue and flicked a sharp gaze toward the bodyguard. "You should have taken better care of her."
"Uncle, you can’t scold my puppy!" Sarah lightly slapped the uncle’s shoulder, before hugging his arms circling her waist. "He took a goo~d care of me!"
