Gabriela, who was adept at reading the room as expected from someone in the entertainment industry, nodded vigorously and returned to his side, playing the innocent flower. "Indeed, my relationship with Pete is entirely professional. Please don't spread false rumors." Despite her words, she linked her arm with him and rested her pretty head on his shoulder. Her actions spoke volumes.

Her tone was even more aggressive than Pete's. "You mentioned wanting to thank Pete. Is a single drink all you think his favor is worth?" Pete was already upset from the tI had shown favoritism toward Neil in the detention center, and this question only aggravated him further, striking a nerve.
His expression quickly darkened, while Nicholas merely chuckled and took a sip from his glass. Nicholas faint smile seemed to suggest, "Ariana, if you beg me, I might help you." The room Instantly fell silent. I frowned slightly and looked at Pete. "Pete, how do you wantto thank you then?" I didn't like being indebted to others. If I could meet his demands, it would be better to clear the debt.
Pete's face grew more somber, and he stared atin silence for a long time. However, it was Gabriela, sitting next to him, who spoke first.
"I remember Pete made you drink two bottles of vodka, as punishment. He said you got drunk and ran away. So how about you make up for those two bottles today?"

If finish these two bottles, then all our debts will be settled. We'll have nothing more to do with each other after that." I called Yasmine to pickup, determined not to repeat the previous drunken fiasco, Remembering what Nicholas had done tothat night, my cheeks flushed, and I quickly took a sip of the +25 BONUS Chapter 0037 alcohol to calm myself.

Gabriela noticed I was struggling and mocked me. "Don't bite off more than you could chew. How dare you show off in front of Pete when you can't even hold your drink? It's really laughable! "Don't think too highly of yourself. Who wants to stay in touch with you?"
The grievances between Pete andwere none of her concern. Eglared at her but didn't respond. She didn't deserve to know. As I prepared to continue drinking, I suddenly felt a warmth on my wrist.
Nicholas grabbed the bottle from my hand and pulledinto his embrace. "Since it's a matter between my wife and Pete, I, as her husband, can't stay out of it. I'll drink this for her." Like RICH WOMEN? X These women desperately want a mature men! JOIN NOW *Waming* these rich women will persue you.
