Chapter 34 Toast 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 Silas 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 Silas 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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttoast 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 Camila.
“Miss Brooklyn, 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.” Camila
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 Brooklyn, 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,
Silas’s going to blame us again.” Camila raised her eyebrows. Does this mean that I’m not entitled to
be unhappy when they’re the ones picking on me? Silas 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 Camila and added sarcastically, “Miss Brooklyn, you have to accept this
toast. If you don’t, Silas isn’t going to forgive me.” At this point, Camila 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 Silas’s still going to be mad at you, you should be giving him a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmtoast 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 Brooklyn?” Silas 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 Silas in the eye, looking as if she was being misunderstood. “Is
she really not able to drink or are you not letting her drink?” Silas squinted and stared at Aleena. “Is
there any difference?” Aleena was rendered speechless. Now their misunderstanding had just become
worse. Camila must be really into Silas, and that’s why she’s filled with all this enmity toward me.
“Fine then. I’ll drink with you.”
Camila 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 Brooklyn, would you like beer or red wine?”
Camila raised her eyebrows. “I’ll drink whatever this lady is drinking.” Silas’s face dropped. “You haven’t
even eaten anything. Why would you drink now?”
