Chapter 1259 Crossed the Line

Sonia couldn’t move one bit, so she stopped. “What is it?” She looked at him in puzzlement. Toby stood up and took the bag from the table before he gave it to her.

“What is this?” She took the bag, wondering what was in it. She saw Tom holding this when he came in earlier, and she had wanted to know why he had this bag since just now. Oh, so it’s for me. Wonder what’s inside, she thought to herself.

Once she took the bag, Toby let go of her hand and replied, “Juice.” “Juice?” She blinked in surprise. “A mix of grape and pomegranate,” he said.

Slack-jawed, she opened the bag and saw a bottle of purplish-red juice. When she reached out for the juice, she found out that it was warm. A smile tugged her lips as she responded, “I see. But why give it to me? I’m not in the mood for juice.”

He put his hands in his pockets and said, “I have to tell you one thing. The lady comes from a family of vintners. She’s a drinker, a mighty one at that. And she’s a certified sommelier. She can drink anything and doesn’t get drunk, no matter how much she drinks. If you want to get to know her, you’re gonna have to drink. But there’s no way you can out-drink her.”

Sonia froze upon hearing that. There’s no way I can out-drink her. How can you out-drink someone who can’t get drunk? Yeah, sure, that’s probably an exaggeration, but it’s a testament to her resistance to alcohol. If I can’t drink as much as she does, I’d fall before she would.

“And you’ll have to drink before you get to talk business with her. She’ll only talk to those whom she deems worthy. If you don’t make the cut, she’ll send you away,” he added.
