Chapter 91

Estrella regained her composure and sat down with a smile, “Mr. Jason, you sure can hold your liquor.”

Jason followed suit, sitting down while wincing and taking a sharp breath.

Catching his expression, Estrella looked at him with a glance full of disdain, thinking to herself. “If you can’t handle your drinks, why put on a show? Who are you trying to impress?”

She turned to look at the person on her right, watching him chat away as if nothing were amiss. However, his left hand was causing mischief under the table. Her face soured, and with a flick, she snapped a nut shell onto the table in front of him.

Jason looked at the shell that had flown over, his fingers deliberately brushing against her under the table as he leaned in and whispered cheekily, “Aren’t you usually quite bold and fiery?”
