Those who played mahjong were all Julian’s friends and knew his personality. The actions that Julian did to Serenity today, they knew what it all meant.

The man who sat on the right side of Serenity was good at reading people from their body language. After Serenity left, Julian seemed to be worried, so he told the woman who sat beside him. “Follow her.”

That woman, who was wearing a low-cut neckline dress, had just stood up when Julian drank the wine in one gulp and put the cup down on the table. “I will go.”

Serenity walked to the washroom while supporting herself against the wall with her hands. Julian left the private lounge and followed up with quick footsteps before helping her.

When they were about to reach the washroom, they bumped into a man who had just walked out of the washroom. The man ina suit apologized.

Serenity waved her hand in a drunken stupor. “It’s fine.”

The man in a Western suit was Gabriel’s assistant, Caleb. Caleb found her voice a little familiar and glanced at her before glancing at Julian, who was holding her in his arms.

Julian unhappily shouted, “What are you looking at?!” After that, he helped Serenity into the washroom.

Caleb returned to the private lounge and leaned down beside Gabriel’s ear before whispering to him. Gabriel stopped touching the mahjong tiles but maintained an indiscernible gaze.

After a long while, he said, “Call John.”

After Serenity entered the washroom, she called Sam and told him that her mission had yet to be accomplished. Thus, she had to press on, and she told him to wait for her in ease to reassure him.

At that moment, John, who was working overtime in the company, received Caleb’s call and thereafter called Serenity continuously.

However, her number was busy. He swiftly turned his computer off and took his coat before leaving the office.

At the passageway outside the washroom, Julian leaned against the wall and played with a lighter. Serenity had been in the washroom for over ten minutes, and he started to get frustrated from waiting.

Just when he was about to shout for a waiter to rush her, Serenity staggered out of the washroom.

She washed her face and immediately turned sober as she took a tissue from the tissue box and wiped the water on her face. Julian placed his hand around her waist and leaned into her ear before sniffing her hair with an intoxicated expression.

“You have played enough, so let’s take our leave first, okay?”

Serenity walked to the side and threw the tissue into the trash bin before prying his hand away. “I haven’t played enough. Let’s go back and continue.”

Julian furrowed his brows and seemed to be annoyed, but he tolerated it in the end as he was determined to get the woman in front of him.

The two people returned to the private lounge, where another woman was playing in her stead. As the woman saw Serenity coming back, she stood up and prepared to give way to her. Yet Serenity waved her hand and walked over to the sofa, pulling Julian along to play finger games.

Julian was not in his best mood and took a bottle of wine with two glasses before pouring both cups full of wine. “What's the use of just playing? The loser must drink.”

“Sure,” Serenity replied very swiftly.

She was very good at playing finger games and wanted to make Julian spill the beans after making him drunk. But she was unlucky today and kept losing. She regretted not looking at her almanac before going out today.

After Julian poured the wine, he passed the glass to her. She shook her head, but Julian pinched her chin with his fingers and forcefully poured the drink down her throat.

As he saw her become completely drunk, he bid goodbye to the rest and prepared to leave with her. The door of the private lounge was suddenly opened and everyone looked toward the door.

The person scanned the private lounge before his gaze landed on Serenity, who lay on the sofa. He walked toward her with large steps and stood in front of her..
