Chapter 26 Menu

The Whisky was potent. Sonya felt a burning sensation in her throat after downing her shot. Lily Lane, already tipsy, was struggling to continue drinking.

Sonya took a deep breath, reaching for another glass, but Luna Stone stopped her. "Sonya, look where you are, who's here. You're drinking for her? Do you think you're that important?" Luna Stone sneered. Jake Parker frowned."Don't talk like that. We're all friends."

"Hah, friendships have hierarchies. Don't go around saying you're friends with them. I'd be embarrassed!"

"Sonya, I'm

sorry, there's no room for you here. Go outside. I'll get you a drink," Seraphina West said sweetly, though the words were dripping with disdain.

"Get out!" Julian Jennings barked.

Sonya bit her lip."Lily, let's go."

She tried to help Lily Lane leave, but Lily Lane pushed her away and raised another glass. "Young... Young Master Reynolds... I... I toast you..."

She was too drunk to see clearly, and toasted a fruit platter. Sonya intercepted the glass and turned to Jason Reynolds.

"Mr. Reynolds, I'll drink this for her. Please forgive her." Sonya downed the shot.

"Sonya! Can't you understand? You..."

Luna Stone's insult was cut short when Jason Reynolds stood up. He clinked his glass against Sonya's empty one and drank it down.

"A beautiful lady's toast, I have to accept." His eyes were deep, with an ambiguous smile.

Jason Reynolds was notoriously difficult, giving no one special treatment. Luna Stone and Seraphina West had tried to toast him, but he hadn't taken a sip. "This one's for you," Jason Reynolds said, finishing another glass.

Sonya found him odd, but she accepted his gesture and raised another glass. Before she could drink, Julian Jennings intervened.

"She doesn't drink well. I'll drink for her."

Sonya dodged his hand and finished her drink.

Julian Jennings's face darkened."Don't embarrass yourself. Get out."
