Chapter 1450 Had One Too Many

"Given the recent flurry of activity at the base and the rapid progress we've made, I propose we give everyone a

well-deserved break this weekend," Chloe suggested, shaking her head slightly.

The team's high motivation had expedited progress, resulting in several significant breakthroughs. That would

undoubtedly free up time for other tasks in the future. Once the new recruits arrived, the pace would further

accelerate.

Nicole nodded, affirming Chloe's proposal. "Alright, you handle it as you see fit. I have no objections," she said,

expressing her full confidence in Chloe's managerial decisions.

She had reviewed the reports and found them impressive. Allowing everyone some downtime was indeed a wise

suggestion. Balancing work and rest was crucial.

"Alright, I'll inform everyone tomorrow," Chloe replied with a smile. It had been a while since they had a regular

break following the last crisis. This rest would undoubtedly rejuvenate the team's spirits.

Nicole watched Chloe's expression, relieved to see her smile return, and resumed her meal.

Wendy yawned and rose from her bed. To gather useful information for Nicole over the past couple of days, she

had been aligning her routine with Colton's, which was grueling, with only three hours of sleep. His relentless pace

also affected Beryl, who was often dragged along.

Whenever they were together, information flowed ceaselessly, and Wendy found herself compelled to listen.

She sighed quietly. The past couple of days had been critical, and both Colton and Beryl had finally gotten some

sleep, allowing her to do the same.

Ding.

Wendy ruffled her disheveled hair and picked up her phone. It was a message from Beryl.

'Get up and come to my room.'

Despite her confusion, Wendy knew Beryl must have a reason for summoning her. She freshened up and headed to

Beryl's room.

"You're here. Come in," Beryl greeted her at the door plainly.

"Yeah, what's up?" Wendy nodded, walking past Beryl to find Colton sprawled on the bed.

"My brother…" She pointed at Colton, her nose wrinkling at the strong smell of alcohol.



"He had one too many," Beryl admitted, looking at Colton with a hint of exasperation. He had intended to share a

few drinks with Colton, but he had gotten drunk quickly. His tolerance for alcohol seemed to be diminishing.

"Why did you call me here then? Though I have to keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't get intoxicated, I

can't stop him either when he drank with you yesterday," Wendy retorted, her frown deepening. She couldn't

believe her brother had managed to get wasted while she was asleep.

"No, I just wanted to discuss where we should dine out tonight. It's been a while since we've had a meal together,"

Beryl quickly changed the subject to avoid Wendy's lecture, especially when she started scolding.

"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Wendy rolled her eyes at Beryl, always finding his communication style somewhat

breathless.

She sighed and began searching for nearby restaurants. It had indeed been a long time since she had dined out

with her brother. The last time they had done so, they had bumped into Nicole.

Sigh. Wendy sighed again, her thoughts drifting to Colton and Nicole's complicated relationship.

Beryl looked toward the young woman, wondering why she sighed for no reason. But very quickly, he realized it

likely had to do with Colton and Nicole.

"Have you decided yet?"
