NovelBookChapter 935: "That's great!" Ethel blurted out excitedly. Her grin stretched from ear to ear.
Freya turned to stare at her. Why was Ethel grinning like she'd just won the lottery? Alan chuckled, clearly pleased. "How about a drink to celebrate?" Freya and Ethel said in unison, "Alan." "What?" he asked, still beaming.
In his mind, this was how things were meant to be. He'd always thought Ellis was the right one for Freya.

"Did you already forget how you acted the last tyou drank?" Freya asked with a polite smile. "Wantto play the video for everyone?" Alan froze, the color draining from his face.
Oh no. Not that video.
Ethel leaned slightly toward Ellis and said matter-of-factly, "Alan's the kind of person who turns every drinking session into a disaster. Anyone sitting near him pays the price." "You seriously said that out loud?" "Is it not the truth?" "Don't you want to see how Ellis handles his liquor?" Alan leaned in and lowered his voice, his tone suddenly conspiratorial.

She decided she'd let them do what they wanted. If things spiraled later, she'd make sure Alan regretted it.
Feeling triumphant, Alan pulled out his phone and called a bodyguard to buy sdecent liquor. This was his first real meeting with Freya's boyfriend-only the best would do.
"Alright, why are you really here?" Freya seized the calm before the storm.
Knowing Alan, she understood he wouldn't show up out of nowhere! unless there was something going on. Ethel glanced at Alan, and he glanced right back.
"It's about you. Go on, tell her." Ethel nudged him.
"It's nothing pressing." Alan leaned back casually, brushing it off. Lethave a drink with Ellis first, then we'll En get into it." Freya was caught off guard, her surprise evident.
