Trouble in Paradise by Three Way

That was good. I was sure that the woman in question came from a good family, considering that Harry had approved of her. It would not be a bad thing either if Pete could get along with her. "That's great. It's been so long since I've seen him. Harry, could you help relay my congratulations to Pete?"

I raised my wine glass as I spoke. It was my first drop of alcohol tonight.

Nicholas was also slightly interested in the conversation after hearing that Pete was planning to go abroad and began asking questions in "concern".

The wine was delicious. But just as I was about to take another sip, Nicholas gripped my wine glass, stopping me from drinking.

I didn't even hear what he had said to Harry when he suddenly carried me bridal style. I waved Harry goodbye over his shoulders and told him I'd visit him tomorrow.

Nicholas was a little rough as he stuffed me into his car. I wasn't drunk, but I felt like all of my senses seemed to be extra sensitive.

I used my long hair to cover my hair and laid on Nicholas' back, pretending to be drunk.
