Chapter 172

At the mention of this, Rudy got all worked up. “Look, you’ve been amnesiac for so long. Maybe you’ll remember everything if a woman comes and jolts your senses awake.”

In reply, Justin looked at him coldly and said, “No thanks.”

His gaze was so cold that Rudy decided to shut it. “Fine, I don’t want to be bothered about it, either.”

Meanwhile, in a booth on the first floor, Jolly pushed a bottle of beer into Rachel’s hand and said loudly, “Everyone, a round of drinks for my good friend! From now on, Chris will be an official member of our drinking group!”

“A round of drinks, everyone!”

“Welcome, Chris!”

The beer foam splashed out of the bottle from the clinking of bottles, and Rachel’s face remained unchanged from chugging down a bottle of beer.

“Hey, Jolly, your friend seems to hold her liquor pretty well.”

“Of course! She’s my bestie!”

“Must you beat about the bush, Timmy? You just wanted to say she looks gorgeous, right?”

“Oh, shut it. So, is Chris single?”

Giving that guy a kick, Jolly then said, “She’s not for your taking even if she’s single. Take a good look at yourself in the mirror. Do you really think you’re good enough for Chris?”

The group laughed as they joked around, and Rachel was smiling the entire time without turning down anyone, whether they were offering a drink or a guessing game. After all, she had known Jolly for five years, and she had lost count of the times she had been to a club with her.

On the other side, the DJ was blasting the music, and Jolly bobbed her head to the beat as she sat in the booth. A place like this was her natural habitat. “I’m going to the dance floor. You guys enjoy yourselves. And take care of Chris for me.”

With that said, she picked up a bottle of beer and disappeared onto the dance floor. Amidst the lights and alcohol, the movement of the crowd made Rachel’s eyes giddy.
