Jean asked with concern seeing that she refused to share her troubles, "What's the matter?"

Luca shook her head, smiled slightly, and just said, "It's nothing."

Jean noticed that she had frowning eyes, and it was as though they contained endless sadness. Unfortunately, she refused to talk and instead looked at him without saying anything else.

Two glasses of cocktails arrived at the table. Luca took a sip and said, "This bartender is great at what he does. The cocktail is delicious."

"If you like it, drink more. When you can't express the sadness in your heart, you can be more free and easy after a few drinks," Jean said as he ordered Luca an extra drink without asking her.

Luca did not stop him.

Before she set off, she took a drug that would help keep her sober regardless of how much she drank. Seeing that he had ordered another drink for her, she raised her head and chugged the drink in her hand.

Jean blinked, not expecting Luca to be so bold when it came to drinking.

"Luca, it's easy to get drunk if you drink like this." He pretended to advise her but was secretly hoping that Luca would get drunk.

Luca put her elbows on the table to support her chin, blinked, and said, "I'm not very good at drinking, so it's easy for me to get drunk. However, if I don't get drunk, I can't help but think about my problems."

"What's troubling you?" Jean asked.

"It's... No, you can't help me even if I tell you about it." Luca stopped just as she was about to speak.

Jean was ill at ease. He saw the waiter bring the cocktail over and pushed the glass in front of her. "Maybe you can tell me. I studied abroad and have quite a broad range of knowledge."
