If they drove like this, they would be arrested for drunk driving. Jacob said without hesitation, “Then let’s stay here tonight. There are lots of rooms anyway.”

“No,” Bryan quickly said, putting out his cigarette. At that moment, everyone’s attention turned to Bryan. But Bryan just frowned and offered no explanation.

“Come on,” Jacob said in a low voice. “Bryan, your house is soundproof. What are you afraid of? We can sleep on the third floor if you want!”

Bryan’s expression darkened. He said coldly, “Take a taxi back.”

Jacob quickly searched his pockets and protested, “My father won’t even give me money for a taxi.”

“I will pay for you,” Bryan said swiftly. He paused, thought for a moment, and pulled the two hundred dollars from his pocket.

As soon as Bryan had the money in his hand, Jacob snatched it. But before Jacob could put the money away, Bryan snatched it back. He stood up and hesitated. Looking reluctant, he turned to Eileen. “Do you have fifty dollars?”

“No,” Eileen replied. She had only two hundred dollars in her bag, which she had given to him.

“Then I’ll give you a hundred dollars for it. Remember to give me the change tomorrow.” Bryan handed Jacob the hundred-dollar bill and pocketed the remaining bill. His stern look made it clear he was serious. After all, it had not been easy for him to earn the two hundred dollars. Now, giving Jacob a hundred made him visibly uncomfortable.

Eileen lowered her head, her long hair hiding her face but not her suppressed laughter. When Bryan walked to the living room, Jacob followed, berating Bryan for his stinginess. Eileen, still smiling, joined Phoebe in clearing the table.

Phoebe, having just heard the story behind the two hundred dollars from Eileen, was also laughing. Jacob was the only one out of the loop.
