Chapter 858 Something Fishy Is Going On

On the way back.

“Do you know about Samuel and Ms. Garcia before this?” Natalie lifted her head and asked.

Steven told her the truth since he knew it was impossible to hide it from her. “Yes. I once saw him at Luna’s place when I visited her. They don’t look like they were just friends back then…”

Natalie clenched her fists so hard that her nails dug into the flesh of her palms.

“I’m sorry, Natalie. I should have told you about this sooner,” Steven apologized.

“It doesn’t matter anymore.” Natalie’s eyes reddened as she spoke. “Because I don’t believe that Samuel would do that to me.”

“Natalie…”

“He put up such a good show for everyone.” Natalie wiped away her tears with the back of her hand. “If this is what Samuel wants me to believe, I will play along.”

An act? Believe him?

Steven was downright confused.

Worried that it was too much to bear for Natalie, he couldn’t help but ask, “Are you okay?”

“I’m fine,” Natalie said hoarsely. “I wish to be alone.”

“Natalie, we can grab a drink together if you want,” Steven suggested.

Natalie stared at Steven.

Samuel must have destroyed his trust after everything that has happened tonight.

Natalie smiled. “Okay, let’s go get wasted.”

Hence, the both of them headed to the bar.

Steven was a regular at the place. The bar manager immediately ushered them to Steven’s private room the moment they arrived.

There were two temperature-controlled wine cabinets in the room to store different kinds of wine.

Steven opened both wine cabinet doors, turned to Natalie, and said, “Help yourself.”

Natalie checked out the various bottles of wine in the wine cabinet and reached out without hesitation.

She opened the bottle with a bottle opener, poured herself a glass, and downed it.

Steven was stunned when he saw how fiercely she was drinking. “Slow down.”

However, Natalie shook her head and chuckled. “Drinking slowly will only upset you even more when you’re already upset. Didn’t you say you would drink with me? Come on, bottoms up!”

“Bring it on.”

Steven took a bottle of vodka out from the wine cabinet, poured himself a glass, and downed it like Natalie.

They didn’t have much to talk about at first. Nevertheless, they started to socialize under the influence of alcohol.

Steven hugged the sofa legs and rubbed himself against it.

“Say… why do you think Sam is suddenly so infatuated with Luna?”

“Are you stupid? Something fishy is going on,” she said drunkenly. “He might just be putting up a show with Ms. Garcia to trick me.”

“Trick you?”

“I’m too smart to be tricked by him.” Natalie patted her chest. “Sometimes the heart sees what is invisible to the eye.”

Steven narrowed his eyes and asked, “Why would they do that?”

“I don’t know.” Natalie took a sip of her wine. “I don’t care what the reason is. I’m super mad at him. Just wait, Samuel. I won’t forgive you so easily this time around.”

“My brother is such a d*ckhead!”

“Yes. Your brother is a d*ckhead!”

Natalie left after having too much to drink, wanting to replace the restroom.

She was dressed to the nines tonight when she went to the greenhouse. Moreover, being drunk made her look even more attractive.

She was now the hot girl instead of being the innocent hot girl.

She attracted lots of attention from men as she strutted around the bar in her drunken state.
