I’m Someone Else -
Chapter 54
Chapter 54
If it was any other day, Thomas wouldn’t mind staying by Olivia’s side, but he couldn’t do that today. Hestill needed to attend John’s birthday dinner at the Morton Residence. A while later, Norman hadalready rushed to the condo. After bidding goodbye to him, Thomas headed to Molly’s place.
When he arrived in front of Molly’s house, he saw her walking to his car in small steps. She was in alilac dress and nude stockings with shining heels under her feet. There was light makeup on heralready exquisite face, making her look extra alluring. On top of that, with her long hair blowing in thewind, she looked just like a goddess from above.
Beautiful! She’s so beautiful that she’s making me flutter!
“Do I look okay?” Molly saw that Thomas was staring at her, so she asked him shyly, “Does this dressnot look good on me?”
“No, no. You’re very beautiful!” He complimented her from the bottom of his heart. When she heardthat, there was a slight blush on her face as she took an hour to get ready. In fact, she thought thatdressing up was troublesome, but when she heard his compliment, she felt that all her hard work hadpaid off.
On the way, she was stuck in the passenger seat for the whole time and didn’t dare move a little, asshe was afraid that she would mess up her style once she moved. It’s a small matter if I look bad, but itwill be a serious matter if I make Thomas unhappy. Thomas had already told her what kind of occasionit was that night, so she couldn’t embarrass him.
After a while, the BMW Z4 stopped in front of a huge manor. She could see that there were alreadymany guests there. They all acted very elegantly, and their attire was glamorous. They were definitelypeople of status in Irieson.
When the two of them got out of the car, Thomas linked arms with Molly before entering the manor.“Haha! Thomas is here!” Sean and William ran over to him and hugged him warmly.
“Oh, is this your wife? She’s so beautiful!” Sean and William were just guessing who’d Thomas’ partnerbe. Come to look at it now, she’s a gorgeous lady indeed. Thomas really has good taste in women!
When Molly heard the word ‘wife’, her body trembled subconsciously. Wife?! I’m just Thomas’colleague. As for our future… it’s still up in the air!
Their words made her so shy that she didn’t dare raise her head. At the same time, Thomas wasstunned as well.
These two jerks! Why are they simply pulling strings? I’m just colleagues with Molly. We’re barelyfriends. Since when did she become my girlfriend? If it’s not because you asked me to bring a partner,I’ll definitely come alone! This is a serious misunderstanding!
“You filled your stomach already, right?” Sean asked Thomas cheekily.
Hearing that, Thomas looked at Sean and William with a puzzled expression on his face. What does hemean? Why do I need to fill my stomach before coming to a birthday dinner? Is he afraid that therewon’t be enough food for me?
“Follow me, Thomas.” Sean and Willian brought Thomas to the entrance of the manor. From afar,Thomas could already see two long tables placed orderly on both sides of the road. And on the tableswere glasses full of liquor!
As to why he knew that it was liquor in the glasses, it was as easy as ABC to him. Just by standing atthe entrance, he could already smell the pungent smell of alcohol. He could tell they were all hardliquor by the smell.
Seeing that, he was completely stunned. “What the hell is this?!”
He had heard about the road to heaven or the road to hell, but this road in the manor was the road toliquor.
As soon as he exclaimed, a loud voice resonated in his ears. “Lad, I heard that you’re very great. Evenwhen my son and grandson came together, they couldn’t get you drunk. You’ll need to pay for it now.There are 300 glasses of hard liquor here. You need to finish all these before you come in to celebratemy birthday!” An older gentleman in a suit appeared at the entrance and looked at Thomas with asmiley face. He was Sean’s grandfather, John Morton. Beside him was a slightly shorter older adult,William’s grandfather, Samuel Peralta.
At this moment, Samuel chimed in. “Lad, I don’t believe we can’t get you drunk this time!”
Who would know that two older men who were nearly 80 years old had such a playful side? They werejust like kids! This scene shocked all the big shots at the party.
“I was just wondering why they put so many glasses of liquor out. All this trouble is just to welcome thisyoung man?”
“Who’s this young man? Why didn’t I see him before?”
“I have never seen him either, but I heard from Old Mr. Morton that he is a friend of his.”
“Friend?”
“Yes. Not only did Old Mr. Morton say that, but even Old Mr. Peralta also said that the young man is hisfriend.”
“Gasp!” Everyone there gasped together. A young man who can be treated as the two older adults’friends is definitely something. When I get the chance later, I must make some connection with him.
“Thomas, this is the whiskey that I told you about that my grandfather specially asked people to takefrom deep inside the cellar. There are 300 glasses of it here. Good luck!” Sean was smirking, obviouslywaiting to see what Thomas would do.
Grandpa and Old Mr. Peralta have planned it all out. They will definitely get you drunk today! It’ll bebest if you can’t go home tonight and need to stay here.
Hearing that, Thomas shook his head with a wry smile. Since he was already present, he couldn’tdisappoint the two gentlemen. I can only drink. There’s no way I’m running away from it, either.
He didn’t hesitate; he entered the manor and took up a glass. Without saying anything, he finished thewhiskey in the glass in one shot!
After that, he smacked his lips, tasting the strong and savory aftertaste. This is really some goodwhiskey!
He drank one glass after another. In the blink of an eye, he had already finished eight glasses, but hisface was not even a little red.
It’s one of the happiest moments in my life to be able to get drunk while drinking such good whiskey!
Before long, he had already finished 20 glasses!
“Manic! He’s definitely a maniac!”
“How can he feel nothing after drinking so much?!”
“Is he immune to alcohol?”
Everyone in the crowd was shocked because a few of them had tried a glass just now out of curiosity.Yet, all of them stopped after the first glass. They really couldn’t continue with the second glass. If they
took it, they would definitely be drunk instantly!
“You’re really something, young man!” John came forward just in time. In fact, this was just a littlegame. He didn’t want to see Thomas drunk at his birthday dinner without eating anything, so hestopped him at once. “Okay. That’s it for now. We can drink again later!”
Hearing that, Thomas smiled and gave him the present that he had brought—the painting he hadreceived from Rose. John unwrapped the painting and was very satisfied with it, after which he saidwith a smile, “I’ll keep this then, thank you!”
“Let’s continue, Thomas! The night is still young.” Sean and William walked over to Thomas and puttheir arms around his shoulders from left and right. Then, they sat down in an empty spot.
