Catherine's POV

"That's enough, Ms. Carroll. You'll get drunk if you keep drinking!" I said quickly to Roxanne.

"I'm fine. I can hold my liquor. I won't get drunk!" Roxanne said with a smile. She was very confident, but I could tell that she was already a little tipsy.

I couldn't stop Roxanne, so I walked over and snatched Leo's glass. "Please stop drinking. You should go now?"

Leo was also slightly drunk. He smiled and reached for the glass.

I tried to stop him by lifting the glass. But Leo pounced upon me.

Leo suddenly put his arms around me, and I was stunned.

Then he took the glass from my hand.

Leo returned to his seat and sat down. "Catherine, I got the glass!"

I was startled by his sudden embrace.

"Fine. Keep going. Drink as much as you want! I'll watch you drink. I will call your family later and let them pick you up." I didn't bother to stop them anymore.

As expected, Roxanne was wasted. She lay on the table and kept mumbling about how much she loved Leo.

Leo's handsome face flushed slightly.

"I've got to go first!" Leo got up, grabbed his sunglasses and cap, put them on, and walked out without waiting for me to say anything.

So I helped Roxanne out.

When I went to get the bill, they said that Leo had already paid for the meal.

Roxanne wobbled, and I took her back to my office and put her to sleep on the couch.

I had to go out with Patricia in the afternoon. So I told my assistant to keep an eye on Roxanne and call me when she woke up.

Around 2:30, I got a call from Patricia.

I grabbed my purse, said bye to Melinda, and left.

Patricia waved at me from her car. Then I quickly got into the car.

Patricia was on the phone with a friend, so I sat quietly, not daring to make a sound.

She turned to look at me as she ended the call. She frowned and said, "You are not dressed formally enough. Let's drop by the dress shop first!"

I was a little surprised and asked, "Patricia, are we going to a party?"

"Yes. A friend's birthday party!" Patricia replied.

Though I did not want to, I dared not refuse her. I must follow her arrangements.

Patricia took me to a high-end bespoke dress shop to pick out clothes. As a designer, I knew my style very well. I chose a low-cut black dress with a boat neck.
