Chapter 127: Adorable Drunk
"You look happy," Tony held Marcella’s hand on their ride back to their home.
"I had a good time! I made some new friends," Marcella smiled.
Although she knew she needed to attend the party, she hesitated as she was not very good at large gatherings. She tried to stay as a wallflower, but people came to her to talk to her and after that, she had a pretty good time.
"Oh? That’s nice to know," Tony said brushing off the air on her cheek. He rolled down the window of the taxi for her to get some fresh air. She was flushed.
"I have made new friends, Tony," she said.
"You mentioned," Tony leaned to her face. She reeked of alcohol and the blush on her cheeks was adorable. She was not drunk when he got there but the moment, she saw him enter, she let loose and started drinking with said "friends" of hers.
"Bethany Jane is a poor woman, Tony... I felt so bad for her... At least Monica has a supportive family! It’s a good thing Beth escaped from her abusive husband..." Marcella leaned on his shoulders.
Tony sighed. Was that sob story even real? Isn’t she one of those women who leave their home in the hopes of getting into Hollywood?
"I talked to him... that rich bald guy... I told him..." Marcella pointed her finger at Tony but she was pointing somewhere else. She was wasted. Tony held her hand.
"What did you tell him?"
