Chapter 78 Do You Know What Time It Is?

“How is it tiring talking to me? I’m so easy to talk to.” Sean laughed.

“Shh, shut up! Someone’s calling me,” Erin shushed. She took out her cell phone from her handbag and saw that her cousin May had called.

As soon as the call connected, she could hear May sobbing over the phone, “Erin…James had abandoned me…I feel so sad, and my heart hurts so much right now…‘

“Have you been drinking, May? Where are you now?” Erin asked nervously.

May had collapsed onto a sofa in a karaoke booth, surrounded by her guy and girl friends.

“May! Say something! Where exactly are you now?” Erin shouted in panic. May was her only family in the city. She could clearly make out that she had been drinking over the phone, so what would happen if bad people were around her?

May hadn’t hung up the call yet, so Erin could still hear some faint music and talking coming from the other end.

At this time, a female friend sitting next to May took over the phone and started explaining, “Hi, May’s classmate here. You’re her cousin, right? May’s passed out drunk now. We’re at the Tipsy Maid at Cloud Road on 56th Avenue, so you can come over and pick her up if you have the time.”

Erin immediately replied, “Great, I’ll make my way there now! Please take care of May for me by then. Thanks!”

“Sure, I’ll stay with her until you get here. Meet us at booth 6255 when you arrive.” May’s classmate instructed.

As soon as Erin hung up the phone, she said, “Can I trouble you to ”

Sean replied with a straight face, “I heard it all just now. Let me drive you there.”

“Thank you!” she answered gratefully.

He suddenly felt overjoyed. It was rare for Erin to ask him for any favors, so this made his heart leap with joy for some reason.

Sean put his car into high gear after that. Afterward, he asked, “Might this be too fast for you?”

Erin shook her head and replied, “I feel fine now since I’ve already emptied the contents in my stomach just now.”

“Right…” he said nervously.
