Chapter 343

I still had a bit of my wits about me and dodged Neil’s hand again. My action was a bit too sharp, hinting at my irritation.

After a few drinks, my temper was a tad bigger than usual. I blurted out the question that had been gnawing at me, “Why weren’t you with Bonnie?”

He took my hand, casually rubbing the back of it, then asked, “What was that you said earlier? Are you mad because I haven’t been in touch?”

I didn’t answer him. I only pointed to where Alicia had been sitting and asked, “Where’s Alicia?”

“I had her sent home. Don’t worry about it,” Neil explained nonchalantly, then circled back to his previous question, “You still didn’t

answer me.”

Neil extended his arm, and I grabbed his shirt, barely managing to steady myself.
