Chapter 332

Russel was still a bit sober, trying his best to keep himself steady, but I had to assist him.

As we got to the elevator, the doors slowly shut. A hand shot out to stop them.

“Hold up!” Cooper Clarke’s voice rang out. As the elevator doors reopened, I saw his peeved face.

Behind him were Neil and Bonnie.

Bonnie was clinging to Neil’s arm, looking utterly reliant on him.

“Irene?” Cooper looked surprised when he saw me. Then his gaze fell on the tipsy Russel. He subconsciously glanced at Neil.

Neil’s brow furrowed for a moment before returning to its calm state.

the elevator with Neil.

Neil glanced at me. Others might not have noticed the look in his eyes, but I felt a pressure, a bad feeling brewing.

Would he misunderstand the situation between Russel and me again? My head was starting to hurt.

“Irene, why did Dr. Russel drink so much? Aren’t you going to do anything about it?” Bonnie deliberately blurred the lines between Russel and me.

“What’s it to me how much he drinks? I should send him home out of friendship,” I responded nonchalantly.

“Oh my, was it just the two of you having dinner?” Bonnie feigned surprise, “Indeed, you’re the only one who can send him home.”
