Zoe clenched the glass tightly, and her fingers also became bloodless.
Her nose twitched and her eyes turned bleary red.
She sneered suddenly.
Ciara could not help but frown when she saw Zoe like this.
“Zoe has drunk too much. Helen please help her upstairs to have a rest.”
Helen forced a smile and stood up, “OK.”
She came over and helped Zoe up. Zoe did not refuse.
Zoe didn’t want to stay here anymore and felt a bit dizzy.
She was not a heavy drinker, but she couldn’t drink wine. She got drunk easily if she drank red wine.
Just now, her glass was half full of strong 52% red wine, so it was not surprising that she would get drunk after drinking it.
With the help of Helen, Zoe went to the second floor.
Her previous living room went empty, so Helen took Zoe to the guest room, helped her to lie down and brought her a glass of water.
“You lie down here to rest, and call us if you need anything.”
Zoe said nothing. She turned over and turned her back to Helen.
Helen’s gaze grew cold as she looked at Zoe’s thin back.
But her voice was still gentle “I’ll go down.”
Zoe gave a brief reply.
The door was closed gently and Helen left.
She felt very dizzy. The red wine seemed much stronger than what she had ever drunk
She was afraid that she couldn’t go back tonight. She had to tell Henry about it lest he feel worried.
Thinking about that, she fished out her mobile phone and sent him a message.
Then she felt at ease, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
In the dining room downstairs.
Randy sat in a chair and looked at Ciara with a serious look.
“Mrs. Gil, shouldn’t you explain to me? You said that Zoe had been in love only once. Why was she together with Mr. Anderson before?”
If Zoe was not so beautiful, he wouldn’t think about getting married to her since she had an affair with Henry Han.
Ciara was a little embarrassed and forced a smile.
“It is a long story. I’m being honest with you. Zoe liked Steven Anderson before, but they haven’t been together. Zoe went abroad five years ago because she knew Steven was Annie’s boyfriend and it was impossible for her to be with Steven.”Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Randy sneered.
“She lived abroad for five years but had been in love only once. Are you kidding me?”
Ciara hurriedly said, “I won’t. If you do not believe me, you can check by yourself.”
Hearing what she said, Randy finally nodded in satisfaction.
“I believe you for the time being, but I need to add one more condition.”
Ciara was stunned.
“What is that?”
“I don’t mind her affair with Mr. Anderson or Mr. Han, but I need to check if she is a virgin or not. If she is, I will send someone here to pick her up tomorrow. If not… Huh, I just don’t like women used up by another man. You got me, right?”
A hint of anger flashed across Ciara’s face.
Even if Ciara didn’t like Natalie, she felt Randy’s proposal a humiliation to the Gil family. After all, Zoe was the child of the Gil family.
It was all the fault of Zoe.
Ciara thought that Zoe would have a very good relationship with Henry and wanted the Gil family to be more prosperous with the help of Henry.
But unexpectedly, Henry had a fiancee.
Needless to say, his fiance must have come from a wealthy and powerful family.
Ciara was not confident about Zoe knowing how cold she had ever been. She didn’t believe that Henry was serious about his relations with Zoe.
Henry just wanted to have an affair with Zoe because of her pretty face, she thought.
If it was discovered by his fiancee, he would kick away Zoe immediately. Henry’s fiancee may even vent her anger on the Gil family.
In the end, the Gil family didn’t establish relations with Henry but offended another rich family. It was unworthy at all.
Thinking of this, Ciara put on a more gloomy look.
Although Randy was rude, he was really wealthy and had a lot of solid contacts.
Ciara would rather seize this opportunity in front of her than have some foolish fantasy.
Come to think about it, Ciara finally calmed down.
She gritted her teeth and said, “I can agree, but you can’t go back on your words.”
Randy immediately laughed after obtaining her consent.
“Rest assured! I am not such a rogue. I indeed like Miss Zoe. Her face alone is fascinating enough, so I won’t go back on my words.”
Hearing that, Ciara was finally relieved.
“I need to make some preparations. Mr. Kruf, you can go to the guest room and get ready for it.”
She said and let the servant take Randy to the guest room.
…
Zoe did not sleep soundly.
Anyone who had ever been drunk would know how dry her mouth was and how thirsty she felt in the midnight.
She wanted to pour herself some water, but her head was so heavy that she could not manage to get up.
Sure enough, red wine was not her thing.
She was lying there, ready to endure it for the night. However, she felt someone came in when she was in a daze.
She vaguely remembered a maid named Anna were in the charge of these guest rooms.
She called in a hoarse voice, “Is that Anna? I want some water.”
A soft voice sounded, “Well, I’ll get it to you right away.”
In a short time, a cup of warm water was held to Zoe’s mouth.
Anna helped Zoe up, put her against the head of the bed, and said softly, “Miss Zoe, here is the water.”
After several sips, she finally felt better in her throat, so she opened her eyes to smile at Anna.
Anna was slightly stunned, and a flash of struggle could be seen in her eyes when she saw Zoe’s half-drunk smile.
At last, Anna looked down and said, “You’re welcome. Miss Zoe, you drunk too much. Shall I help you to take a bath?”
People familiar with Zoe knew that she didn’t like getting dirty or having weird smell on her body.
Sure enough, Zoe nodded.
“Well, thank you.”
Anna helped Zoe up and went to the bathroom.
Anna had prepared bath water for Zoe and held Zoe into the bathtub. Then she said, “You can take a shower now. Call me when you are done.”
Zoe nodded.
After Anna went out, Zoe relaxed against the bathtub. Feeling the hot steam around her, she just felt the pores of her body had all stretched.
Though she felt dizzy, she was not dead drunk, so she could take a bath herself.
She poured hot water on her body and washed herself up carefully.
She had no idea if she was too relaxed in the hot water, or she just was too tired after a busy day.
Halfway through the bath, she felt soft all over and a bit drowsy.
