Chapter 34
Nicole gently compressed her lips in a smile. "Didn't they say already? She's a doctor."
Aleena puckered up her lips. "I wonder what her relationship with Eugene is. Could it be that he likes her?"
Nicole shot Aleena a disapproving look. "Do you know why men fall for women of this sort?"
Aleena was nonplussed. "Why?"
Nicole leaned toward her and responded, "It's because she’s high up there, far away from him, playing hard to get. This would intensify every man's desire to possess a woman. Even so, she's actually easy to hook up with as she's open-minded, bold, and is good at reading the room. Everyone that she has her eyes on will probably be in her bag."
Hearing this startled Aleena. "What should we do then?"
A scornful look flashed across Nicole's face before she added blandly, "I feel like you can go and give her a toast. It's as if you're giving Eugene a toast. Even though he didn't comment about what happened earlier, I can't say for sure that he's not bothered. Giving them a toast might help ease the tension between you guys, and it might also show what an understanding person you are."

Aleena felt good about these words. "Nicole, you're the best. Just wait and see how I'm going to cause her to be publicly humiliated."
As Aleena spoke, she tip-toed her way to Olivia. "Miss Maxwell, Robin's my cousin and he was here with me. I'd like to offer my apology for making things so awkward during our first encounter. Please do forgive him. I'd like to offer you a toast."
Olivia still felt uneasy as she had already downed a few glasses of the beverage. She then smiled and responded, "You can find your own way to drink with Mr. Nolan. I was just responding to the questions of the patient as a doctor. You guys lining up to apologize to me only makes me look like a narrow-minded person."
Aleena responded, "Don't say that. Miss Maxwell, we're not in the same line of work, and we also don't know you too well. That’s why we can only keep apologizing. Otherwise, we might offend you. By then, Eugene's going to blame us again."
Olivia raised her eyebrows. Does this mean that I’m not entitled to be unhappy when they’re the ones picking on me?
Eugene put his wine glass down. "I'm afraid I don't have a big heart like the others. If you dare to pick a fight in front of me, then you shouldn't blame me for not feeling you out!"
Then, Aleena replied nicely, "Yes. You're right. That's why I'm here to apologize. Am I not one of your friends anymore?"
As she spoke, she turned to Olivia and added sarcastically, "Miss Maxwell, you have to accept this toast. If you don't, Eugene isn't going to forgive me."
At this point, Olivia frowned. "Miss, I don't think I even know your name, and I think we're not on the same page. You didn't offend me as we've never even talked before this. Save the apology. If you're worried about what your cousin did, please don’t; I'm not that petty. If you're afraid that Eugene's still going to be mad at you, you should be giving him a toast instead."
Aleena was slightly startled. She then frowned with a menacing look on her face. "But what if I just want to give you a toast, Miss Maxwell?"

Eugene let out a frown. "What do you want? Didn't she tell you she’s unable to drink anymore?"
At this moment, Aleena hatefully looked Eugene in the eye, looking as if she was being misunderstood. "Is she really not able to drink or are you not letting her drink?"
Eugene squinted and stared at Aleena. "Is there any difference?"
Aleena was rendered speechless. Now their misunderstanding had just become worse. Olivia must be really into Eugene, and that’s why she’s filled with all this enmity toward me.
"Fine then. I'll drink with you."
Olivia had a gentle and generous smile on her face as she blurted out with her wine glass in the air, "Can someone pour me some wine?"
Being the gentleman that he was, Hayden asked, "Miss Maxwell, would you like beer or red wine?"
Olivia raised her eyebrows. "I'll drink whatever this lady is drinking."
Eugene's face dropped. "You haven't even eaten anything. Why would you drink now?"
