Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Chapter 954

After the party wrapped up, Leo was so drunk he was practically snoozing on the table. Vincent couldn't help but smirk, feeling satisfied. Young folks need a little humility check; otherwise, they start acting like they're the center of the universe. Leo, sprawled out, was well aware this was a setup by those two to teach him a lesson. As the night wore on, he deliberately slumped over, pretending to be out cold.

As the crowd dispersed, Lee helped Leo to Vincent's car, assuring everyone, "Leo's out cold from too much booze. Vincent and I are going in the same direction, so we'll drop him off. Gotta make sure our colleague gets home safe." It sounded thoughtful enough.

Leo waved off their offer, trying to hail a taxi instead, but the driver caught a whiff of alcohol and saw his state, refusing to take him. So, Leo ended up in the backseat of Vincent's car.

When they reached his place, Vincent and Lee insisted on escorting Leo to his door.

Paige wanted in on the action. "Dad, I'll come along."

"Stay in the car," Vincent instructed her.

But Paige was stubborn. It was odd for her dad to personally drive an employee home. Plus, Lee had been pushing drinks on Leo all night despite not liking him, then suddenly playing the good guy. Paige was suspicious. She hopped out and followed them.

They had snagged Leo's address from the company system.

Once they got downstairs, the chilly wind snapped Leo back to reality. He stopped at the building entrance. "Vincent, Sean, you've brought me this far. You can head back now. I can manage from here."

"We're already here; can't leave without knowing you're safely inside," Lee insisted, hitting the elevator button.

Leo shot back, "I'm good now. Gonna grab some water from the store and get some air. Not heading up just yet."

"Drunk folks always claim they're sober. Better not wander around. Hit the sack early, or you'll be late and docked tomorrow," Vincent advised.

Just then, Anya, having finished her exams, decided to head home, noticing Leo hadn't returned yet.

As she came down, she bumped into her boyfriend at the door.
