Yasmine thought it was laughable. No one had ever asked her if she wanted this kind of attention.
Lucy cback from the dance floor and immediately went on guard when she saw Xavier. "Xavier? What are
you doing here?"
Yasmine quickly blocked her path. "Lucy, Mr. Flynn's just here for a drink. Let's not bother him."
Lucy looked at Yasmine with skepticism, then followed her to another booth. As the bartender placed the drinks
on the table, Lucy remarked with confusion, "That guy is seriously messed up. Once he was desperate to divorce
you and marry Yvette, and now he just won't leave you alone."
"Alright, let's not worry about him." Yasmine was preoccupied, her mind still replaying the scene of Yonas guiding
Irene
away.
At the bar counter, Xavier downed his cocktail in one lonely gulp as his phone rang. It was his assistant. After
listening for a bit, he exclaimed, "What did you just say?" He glanced longingly in Yasmine's direction but
ultimately chose to turn and leave. Yasmine opened a bottle of wine, "Lucy, can getting drunk numb us?"
Lucy followed her lead and opened a bottle too, "Of course it can! You're the boss today, whatever you want, I'm
with you the way."
At 1 a.m., Inkwell Bar hit its peak of excitement-a transition from the end of work to the beginning of a night of
fun.

"Another round!" Lucy, her cheeks flushed, raised her glass and emptied it in one go. Standing beside her,
Yasmine also finished her drink.
"Cheers!" Yasmine's intoxicating look made the man who had tried to bother her earlier even more infatuated.
Seeing the two women nearly drunk, he waited for them to be completely wasted before making his move.
The people around him joked, "Hey! You didn't dare approach them when they weren't drunk, but now they're
both wasted, you've scored two! Why aren't you making a move, scaredy-cat?"
The man smirked with ill intent and moved closer to Lucy and Yasmine. "I'm gonna show you just what I'm made
of today." He reached out towards Yasmine's thigh, but just as he was about to touch it, a hand suddenly
appeared, grabbing his hand and twisting it hard. His arm instantly twisted like a pretzel, almost breaking.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch! Let go of me! Who are you?!"
A cold voice spoke sharply, "How dare your filthy hand touch them?"
"Why can't I? Didn't you see how they were dancing in the club just now? Do you think people who cto bars
are all good folks? Isn't everyone here just out to have sfun and relax?" the man retorted.
Chuck glared fiercely, "Shut up! Get lost!"
"Hey, do you really think you're a good guy? Stop sticking your nose where it doesn't belong. | bet you're not all
that pure-hearted, who knows what you plan to do with these chicks after you chaseoff!" The man eyed
Chuck, who was quite good-looking, and tried to act understanding as he said, "You're young and energetic, and
these ladies are gorgeous. How about we each take one?"
"Scram!" Chuck raised his fist and smashed it down hard. All those hours training at the gym had built him some
solid muscles. The guy opposite him went limp, knocked to the ground with a single punch, unable to get up for
quite a while.
"Oh no! Someone's trying to kill me! Help! Letcall the police!" the man shouted. Unfortunately, no matter
how desperately he screamed, nobody cto his aid.

Chuck glared fiercely at the guy, "Get lost now!" After the man rah away in fear, Chuck turned to look at Lucy
and Yasmine, who were still drinking in the booth, a bit annoyed. He snatched their glasses away, "Lucy, look at
me!"
Something about his voice had a unique charm. Hearing his call Lucy regained a bit of her senses and shivered
as she looked at Chuck. "You! Chuck, why are you here?" She immediately covered her face, "No, it isn't me,
you've mistakenfor someone else." "Get a grip! Do you know you almost got into big trouble just now? Why
didn't you answer my calls? | called you dozens of times!" Chuck's eyes were red with frustration.
Feeling guilty, Lucy said, "I'm sorry, okay? | just brought Yasmine here to relax since she was feeling down. |
didn't mean to get drunk..." Who knew why Yasmine started drinking like crazy after coming back from the
bathroom. Lucy only drank that much to keep her company. She hadn't had as much as Yasmine otherwise, she'd
also be passed out on the couch right now.
"Stop making excuses. You think it's fine not to answer my calls? Do you know what could've happened if | had
been a minute late? That guy's hands were already... were almost..." He couldn't even bring himself to say it.
"What? Who?"
"Don't bother asking, both of you are coming back with me," Chuck said coldly. He steadied Lucy, who seemed to
talk normally but could barely stand on her own. Then he glanced at Yasmine; he couldn't manage holding both
of them. After a thought, he called Yonas. "Hey, Yonas, you need to cto the Inkwell Bar. Yasmine is drunk.
She chere with Lucy, and | can't handle both. Yasmine's, well, a bit more difficult to manage."

The Inkwell Bar again? Why is it always this place? Earlier tonight, Irene had him chere to pick her up, and
now he's back here again.
Why did Yasmine end up at the bar? With no tto ponder, Yonas quickly got dressed and headed to the Inkwell
Bar.
The lights in the bar were blinding, and the music was blaring, giving her a headache. Yasmine was sprawled out
on the couch, an empty bottle in hand, still trying to drink from it.
Lucy sat to the side with flushed cheeks, looking a bit anxious at Chuck. She was also drunk, but after Chuck
helped her wash her face, she regained sclarity. This clarity only allowed her to recognize who was around,
and she pursed her lips, seemingly still wanting to drink more. Yonas arrived and saw the scene, "What's going
on with them?"
"Yonas, you finally made it. | heard it was supposed to be a relaxing trip, but you ended up drinking yourself into
a stupor. | almost got into trouble on my way here. I'll tell you all about it when | get back. You should take Ms.
Sanchez with you, and I'll take Lucy back." Chuck dropped his usual easygoing facade, now fully consumed by
anger.
Yonas nodded, glancing over at Yasmine. Chuck took Lucy by the hand and walked out of the bar. Yonas cast a
complicated look at Yasmine. He had been here earlier and had taken Irene with him. Did Yasmine witness that
earlier scene? "Yasmine?" he crouched down to look at her.
Yasmine's eyes flew open, and she suddenly pointed at him with a laugh, "I recognize you, haha. How cyou
have two bodies?" She seemed puzzled as she reached out to the right of Yonas and felt nothing, then she
reached out to the left and still found nothing. Yonas gently placed her hand on his chest and softly said, "I'm
right here."
