Stuck in you

Chapter 379 Fell Down The Stairs

The woman's smile immediately disappeared. She kicked hard at the stool he was sitting on and ran a hand through her hair in irritation. "You bastard!"

Marcus did not show any reaction. He only lowered his glance and stared at the wine glass in front of him like it was some mystical marvel.

In the dim light, no one noticed a drop of crystal liquid falling and dispersing into the wine.

At the same time, in another bar, Rachel and Lea anxiously watched Celia guzzling wine like water. All their attempts to stop her were futile.

Eyes blurry, she sat with her head on the table, muttering something about her relationship with Marcus.

Lea signed and said, "I didn't expect her to be crazier than I am. By the way, what's going on with Marcus? Weren't they supposed to elope before? Why did he suddenly hook up with that woman, then? Who was she, anyway?"

Rachel shook her head. Even she was confused. "That woman must be his blind date. Celia mentioned that his parents arranged for him to be introduced to a girl from a family of equal social rank."

Lea scoffed at the explanation with a frown on her face. She took a look at Celia, who had fallen asleep on the table, picked up the woman's unfinished glass of wine, and took a sip. "If Marcus were forced to do that for some reason, then there would be some wiggle room. The thing is, I don't think he did that unwillingly. He seemed to enjoy it very much!"

Once she had her first sip of wine, she couldn't stop herself from drinking more.

Rachel reached out a hand to stop Lea, who was about to pour herself another glass of wine. "Please don't leave me with two drunk women to send home later."

"Relax, my friend. I have a higher tolerance for alcohol than Celia."

Lea patted Rachel on her shoulder. "I have an idea. Do you want to hear it?"

Before Rachel could respond, Lea had already whispered the idea to her. She slowly formulated the details of the idea that she had just come up with.

Rachel's eyebrows twitched as Lea's idea registered in her mind. The other woman was so smart that she could come up with ideas that ordinary people wouldn't be able to imagine no matter how hard they tried. 'It could work.'

Lea looked at Rachel's reaction. Seeing how she seemed to be on board with her idea, Lea grinned and drank more wine. Finally, Henry arrived to take her home, looking down at her in helplessness and adoration.

She and Jack first saw Celia home and then headed back to their own home.

On the next day, the nurses at her hospital remarked on the dark circles under Rachel's eyes. Some of the nurses flocked around her and asked, "Rachel, is there anything going on with you these past two days? You've been looking so haggard lately."

She tried to laugh off the comments awkwardly. However, when another nurse asked about Celia, she was speechless for a moment, stunned, before she came up with a plausible excuse.
