Facade of Love

Chapter 206 Really Caring About Him

We had barely stepped out of the room when he came to a halt. I gave him a confused look, thinking he had left something behind. “Forget something?” I asked.

He took a moment, then said, “Just wait here. I have to use the restroom.” And with that, he headed off in totally the wrong direction.

A few steps later, it hit me–he was probably plastered, because the restroom was nowhere near where he was heading. I sprinted after him to set him straight.

I grabbed his arm, and he looked down at me, his face kind of blank. “What’s up?”

“You’re going the wrong way,” I told him. “The restroom’s definitely not over there.”

He seemed to snap back to reality, gave a slight nod, and muttered an ‘okay‘, before heading off again—still in the wrong direction. I was sure of it now. The guy was wasted!

I steered him towards the restroom, and when we got to the door, I pointed to the men’s side, signaling for him to go ahead.

He stood still, his gaze fixed on me. “Aren’t you coming with me?”

I hesitated.

After a brief silence, I shook my head. “I don’t want to go. You go ahead.”

His handsome eyebrows creased just a bit. “Then I won’t go either.”

I was taken aback.

I reminded him, “Didn’t you
