Chapter 35 Drinking Competition
Camila smiled, trying to appease Silas. “Don’t worry about it. We’re just having a good time.” Hearing
the lovey-dovey conversations agitated Aleena. She swore she was going to make Camila pay today.
She came up with a plan. “Does this mean you’ll drink as much as I do?” Camila nodded. “You said it!”
Silas was feeling uneasy. “Are you sure you can do this? Don’t force yourself if you can’t.” Camila
smiled. “It’s fine since she’s your friend.” Aleena followed up, “She’s right. This is between us women.
Silas, please leave us alone.”
As she continued, she put the wine glass up in the air. “Here’s to you, Miss Brooklyn!” Aleena drank red

Brooklyn, I like that! Let me offer you another toast!” Camila had a gentle smile on her face while she
downed it once again. Though unspoken, many around them could tell that it was a competition. Sitting
in the corner, Nicole gave Aleena a disapproving look and shook her head. Why can’t she hold in her
anger? Now that’s she competing in front of Silas, he’s going to blame her if she beats Camila. If she
loses, she’s going to be embarrassed; either way, that’s pure stupidity. Silas began to look worried.
Even though he did not know how well Camila could drink, he knew well what a big drinker Aleena was.
He reckoned he might not even be able to beat her.
Alex could not take his eyes off the two women as he watched the show unfold.
Hayden was intrigued too.
The person who was the most at ease had to be Landon, who could not stop putting fruit in his mouth
with a fork. Whoever competed with Camila to drink was digging themselves a grave.
They all had different thoughts about the situation as the two women were competing.
After a while, Aleena felt slightly tipsy, and she was missing her focus. However, she still kept herself
together as she could tell that Camila was a big drinker and that she might not be able to beat her.
Since the competition had begun, and Camila had made a statement, Aleena would not give in until
one of them passed out. Now, they were unto their fourth bottle of wine, and the competition still carried
on. Meanwhile, Silas appeared to be as relaxed as Landon; he looked laid-back as he leaned against

would not be an ending any time soon. “Let’s sing something! Landon, sing us something!”
Landon agreed and shouted at the server, “Can someone play ‘My Girl’ for me?” Very quickly, a familiar
melody sounded out, I’ve got sunshine on a cloudy day. When it’s cold outside, I’ve got the month of
May. I guess you’d say, What can make me feel this way? My girl, my girl, my girl… Talkin’ bout my girl,
My gir… When the song finished, Hayden and Nicole went on stage and sang “Unchained Melody”.
While they were having fun singing on stage, the two women were still aggressively competing with
each other. No one knew who was going to win. There were now five empty wine bottles on the table
and a good number of empty beer bottles. Meanwhile, Aleena was lying on the table, not moving at all.
Camila nudged her. “Are you still drinking? If not, I’m going to call it a day.” Aleena pushed herself to sit
up and drowsily looked her in the eye. “Yes, I won’t stop until you pass out!”
