Soon, the guests were all gone. Jenny and the others left, too, leaving only Gilbert and Marigold in the hotel. Even the child was taken home by the nanny.

Gilbert had a lot to drink today. Hence, after he was done sending off his guests, he leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes halfway as if he was asleep.

Marigold walked toward him, worried. “Are you…alright?’

At her voice, Gilbert opened his eyes. He wasn’t surprised to see Marigold.” I’m fine. Get the driver to start the car.” He’d had so much to drink that he definitely wouldn’t be able to drive home.

Marigold nodded and called up the driver, telling him to place the car at the entrance and help her get Gilbert out. She put her phone away and held Gilbert. “The driver is coming. I’ll help you up.”

“I’m fine. I can walk on my own.” Gilbert tried to stand up by himself.

However, he had overestimated himself. The moment he stood, he collapsed to the side. Marigold hurriedly pulled him. Unfortunately, she had no strength to do so and was pulled down with him.
