Chapter 0226 Chapter 0226

After stepping off the stage, Suzy grabbed a glass of wine and began making the rounds to mingle with the guests.

By the time she finished, she had drunk more than a little. Combined with the drinks from the night before, a slight dizziness began to creep over her.

Calling over her assistant, she handed off the task of mingling. "Take over for me. I need a moment to rest."
