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".

I wasn't in the mood to listen to their conversation, so I began to slowly sip on my wine. Before I knew it, I had already drunk more than a few glasses.

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.

Nicholas assumed I was drunk and said softly, "There's no need for you to go out tomorrow."
