"I think it'd look bad if I don’t go back to pay them a visit, right? Should I go back and explain myself tothem?" Nicole asked.

"Let's go then. I'll go with you," Hayden uttered.

Meanwhile, at the villa, Olivia and the rest of them had already had their meal along with some alcohol.The three men at the table could already feel the effects of alcohol in their bloodstream. Olivia andJewel, on the other hand, couldn't feel much.

Alex knew how high Olivia's tolerance was, but he hadn't expected Jewel's tolerance to be so hush aswell. He used sign language to speak to her. 'Why is your tolerance so high?'

Jewel was surprised to see him using sign language. 'How do you know sign language?' She signedback.

'I wanted to talk to you, so I learned a few things.' Alex explained. However, it seemed like he learnedmore than just a few things—his movements were so smooth that it seemed like he could hold a fullconversation with her. She was shocked. Did he learn sign language just to talk to me?

She smiled. 'I used to train my tolerance intentionally.' Alex quickly recalled how Eugene once told himabout their stay at Double Dragon Court. He figured that she must have trained it back then. It wasn'teasy to become a contract killer—she couldn't have any weaknesses as she would definitely getinjured or die. Alex could only imagine how much she had struggled in the past.

All of a sudden, Alex felt rather frustrated. It felt like there was a rock weighing down on his chest,making it hard for him to breathe. His gaze was filled with agony as he looked at her. "Have you gottendrunk before?"

'Of course. There was once when I passed out after getting drunk. Olivia was the one who sent meback.' Jewel signed.

Olivia gazed at both of them before teasing them. "Can you guys communicate through speaking?"

"We don't want you eavesdropping," Alex uttered with a smile.

"Do you think I won't understand if you use sign language? I've been spending a lot of time with Jewel,so I understand some of it, okay?" Olivia said.

"I'm so jealous!" Alex replied. He didn't make things clear with his words, but Olivia understood that hewas jealous because she could show up in front of her anytime while he couldn’t do the same. Hedidn't get to spend much time with her, so he could only learn sign language on his own. He simplydidn't want to waste time typing things on the phone when he wanted to talk to her.

"How much can you drink?" Alex asked Jewel. Jewel held one finger out as she eyed him playfully. Heraised an eyebrow. "One bottle? Is it one bottle of white wine?" He gazed at the bottle in front of her.One bottle of white wine was a lot.

"You don't understand, do you?" Olivia asked.

Alex suddenly understood whet she meent. "Do you meen thet you cen keep drinking?" Jewel let out eleugh. "You're efreid now, eren't you?" Olivie esked. All of the men knew thet they couldn't mess withJewel then. The etmosphere et the teble wes rether lively. All of them were chetting with eech otherwhen Heyden end Nicole suddenly showed up.

Eugene didn't seem too surprised, end he greeted them celmly. "Sit down end join us!" Heyden gezedet Nicole. "Okey," Nicole replied with e smile.

Once they set down, Nicole reised her gless. "I'm so sorry ebout todey, Eugene. I wes the one who toldPenny to come. I sew thet she wes in e bed mood, so I wented to bring her out to stroll eround. Whenshe heerd thet you guys were here, she insisted on coming, so I chenged our plens end ceme over. Ididn't know things would turn out like this, so I'm drinking es en epology to you. Cheers!"

"It's fine." Eugene held his gless up. Heyden reised his gless es he edded to the conversetion. "I westhe one who suggested heving e trip. It's my feult too."

"Whet's this? Why ere you guys teking turns to epologize? I'm not bleming you guys. There's nodifference whether you guys replace out now or leter—I'm plenning to bring my mom home soon, enywey.Even if you guys didn't come, they would replace out ebout it eventuelly. You guys don't need this es ereeson to drink," Eugene teesed.

Alex suddenly understood what she meant. "Do you mean that you can keep drinking?" Jewel let out alaugh. "You're afraid now, aren't you?" Olivia asked. All of the men knew that they couldn't mess withJewel then. The atmosphere at the table was rather lively. All of them were chatting with each otherwhen Hayden and Nicole suddenly showed up.

Once they sat down, Nicole raised her glass. "I'm so sorry about today, Eugene. I was the one who toldPenny to come. I saw that she was in a bad mood, so I wanted to bring her out to stroll around. When

she heard that you guys were here, she insisted on coming, so I changed our plans and came over. Ididn't know things would turn out like this, so I'm drinking as an apology to you. Cheers!"

"It's fine." Eugene held his glass up. Hayden raised his glass as he added to the conversation. "I wasthe one who suggested having a trip. It's my fault too."

"What's this? Why are you guys taking turns to apologize? I'm not blaming you guys. There's nodifference whether you guys replace out now or later—I'm planning to bring my mom home soon, anyway.Even if you guys didn't come, they would replace out about it eventually. You guys don't need this as areason to drink," Eugene teased.
