Chapter 44: Getting Drunk

Placing his glass down, Jayson reached out to help Patricia up from her seat.

To his dismay, he realized someone had beaten him to it.

"Patricia, let me send you back!"

Pushing Jayson aside, Zac pulled Patricia into his arms.

How could he permit another man touching his woman? "I don't want to go back.

I'm not drunk! I can still drink more! I want to continue drinking!"

Patricia wailed as she shoved Zac away with one hand while reaching for her glass with the other.

However, Zac held on to her firmly, so she wasn't able to budge.

"Stop it, Patricia.I will be taking you home now," said Zac in a gentle voice.

He caressed her back in a soothing motion.

"I'm not drunk! I am not drunk!"

Patricia was unwilling to leave the dinner party, so she kept struggling against Zac.

Now, when Jayson was pushed by Zac, he had lost his balance and had to grip onto the table for
support, causing it to shake violently.

After the shaking had ceased, he stood up with one hand on the corner of the table for stability.

Zac's reaction had taken Jayson by surprise.

Knowing that he was the one who had come with Patricia, he had every intention of keeping her safe.



However, Zac's shove a moment ago had really annoyed him.

Looking in their direction, he was met by Zac's glare, a clear warning to keep his distance from them!
Jayson was perplexed by this turn of events.

He couldn't figure out what he had done to offend Zac and warrant this behavior.

Was it because he had intended to send Patricia back himself? But Patricia was making it clear that
she didn't want to leave with Zac.

And weren't they now divorced? So, why was Zac still pestering Patricia? What was more, it was
apparent that these men were following Zac's orders to get Patricia drunk.

Jayson was indignant, but before he had the chance to question Zac, Zac threw the following sentence
at the men present, making his heart sink.

"You're expected to continue being a good host to the man.Do try your best to entertain him properly!"

Putting one hand around Patricia's waist and carrying her coat and bag with the other, Zac helped her
to the private room door.

"I won't leave.I want to drink! Let me continue drinking!"

Patricia continued struggling and tried to break free from Zac's embrace.

But she had become so dizzy that it was all just a futile struggle.

"Alright, shall we go elsewhere and continue drinking? I'll let you drink to your heart's content today,
okay?"

Zac said in a gentle voice while staring at her pretty face.



"Okay.But don't break your promise like Zac.He is such a bastard..."

Patricia uttered, pulling Zac by the tie.

"Sure, I'll keep my promise to you.I won't behave like that bastard Zac, okay?"

Zac echoed her words as they walked out of the private room.

The people behind them were all dumbfounded.

They were wondering whether the man was still their ruthless president.

As the door closed behind them, Jayson knew that his good day had come to an end! After Patricia and
Zac's departure, Jayson was forced to continue the drinking party with the directors left behind.

As a result, he had become so drunk that it was already the following morning when he woke up again.

Zac had initially planned on sending Patricia home after they had left the private room.

However, because she didn't want to return just yet, he instead took her to a nearby roadside stall to
buy her something to eat in an attempt to sober her up.

But to his surprise, Patricia had ordered a few more bottles of wine to consume while they ate.

And since she was so insistent on drinking, he gave in to her wishes, and they both drank together.

Under the effects of the alcohol, Patricia repeatedly persuaded Zac to drink.

She was already drunk, so now she was trying to make him drink.

But when Zac didn't listen to her, she put the wine bottle directly on his lips and made him drink.



More remarkable was the fact that she guzzled wine directly from the bottle! After drinking for a while,
Patricia became highly intoxicated, while Zac was only slightly inebriated at the time.

The number of empty bottles beside them kept increasing.

The more they drank, the more wasted they became, altering their usually inhibited personalities.

So, although they didn't talk much before this incident, they began talking like good friends while under
the influence.

"Hey, you know what? That bastard Zac is really despicable! He plotted to marry me and then left me
alone in the Reynolds family.But at that time, I had willingly agreed.Hahaha..." With an empty wine
bottle in one hand, Patricia gestured in front of Zac with the other hand.

When she spoke of something exciting, her gestures increased.

But when she mentioned something that upset her, she would sob in a low voice, with tears welling up
in her eyes.

"He...left me alone in the Reynolds family.He didn't want to sleep with me during the three years we
were married.And the one time he did make love to me, I got pregnant.After that, he proposed that we
should get divorced.That, I didn't mind...After all, I could still have a good life even without him..."

Patricia faltered as she made random hand gestures.

She then clinked her bottle against the one in Zac's hand and shouted, "Come on, cheers!"

"Cheers!"

Zac responded, clinking his bottle against hers before taking a big sip of the wine.



"That man you're talking about doesn't deserve to call himself a man! You were pregnant, but he still
divorced you?"

"Let me tell you...He is a fiend! He has done...so many detestable things!"

Patricia murmured in her daze.

Seeing that the man agreed with her, she stammered, continuing her train of thought, "He has done
much more deplorable deeds than what I've told you.

That bastard didn't even want me to keep my baby! Damn it...

We had gotten divorced, so whether I planned to give birth to our baby or not had absolutely nothing to
do with him.

However, he threatened me and forced me to have an abortion."

Speaking of this brought Patricia to tears.

"This man is really not a decent human being.You should divorce him! Just as you've said, you can live
a good life without him! Don't worry.With your talents, you can excel at any job if you set your mind to
it.And if you get turned away by your company, then you can always come to mine! I will arrange a job
for you!"

Seeing Patricia's sadness, Zac couldn't help but comfort her.

But in his drunken state, he talked gibberish and might have even been dizzier than her.

"Oh, you are so nice! You indeed are a reliable friend! I...I don't even know your name yet, though."

As she spoke, Patricia touched Zac on the shoulder and said enthusiastically, "Tell me your name and
the address of your company.And if I do get fired one day, I will ask for your assistance.So, I'd



appreciate it if you could offer me a job at that time."

Hearing her words, Zac, albeit dizzy, delved into his pocket, fishing for a business card.

After searching for a long time, he couldn't find one.

Frowning, he said with an embarrassed expression, "Alas, It seems that I didn't take my business card
with me today!"
