BookToReadChapter 240
The manager dabbed the sweat from his brow, trying to sound reassuring. "These guys are just professional
escorts, here to serve drinks, nothing more."
Brian wasn't backing down. "Oh, really? Then why did my sister lean on him, and he didn't even budge? He
seemed pretty happy about it."
"No, no," the manager quickly interjected, "our staff was just being considerate when he saw she was about to
topple over. Brian, it's a misunderstanding."
Sabrina sided with the manager to somooth things over. "I just had a bit too much and nearly fell. This guy was
just helping out. Brian, quit making a scene!"
Brian was incredulous, his voice laced with frustration. "I'm making a scene?"
Sabrina massaged her temples. "Fine, I'll head hwith you. But stop acting like a spoiled brat causing

Brian's face was flushed with anger. "Alright, alright, I'm the one making a fuss. I'm the spoiled brat causing

With that, Brian let go of Sabrina's hand and stormed off, seething.
Sabrina turned to the manager with an apologetic smile. "Sorry about that, my brother can be a bit much
sometimes. I'll settle the bill."
A waiter, dressed smartly in a shirt and vest, approached with a card reader. "Your total tonight is $6,500."
Sabrina handed over $7,000. "Consider the extra $500 a tip for the young man." The manager beamed
graciously. "You're too generous."
In reality, Sabrina could handle her liquor; she hadn't been drunk at all. She was just pretending to flirt with the
young escort.
Who would have thought Brian would show up out of nowhere, not only crashing her fun but also making her the
center of attention? She wished she could just vanish.
She glanced back at Allison, whose cheeks were flushed and eyes glazed, still clutching a bottle and taking sips.
Sabrina gently took the bottle from

Allison was genuinely hammered, her cheeks streaked with tears. "Joshua is such a jerk..."
Her cries weren't hidden, and Joshua, not too far away, heard them above the music. His heart clenched, and
before he knew it, he'd taken a couple of steps toward her. But he stopped himself.
He couldn't let his emotions take over. He reminded himself.

"There, there, Allie, no more tears," Olivia said softly, holding Allie with her back to Joshua.
Olivia rarely drank and wasn't a fan of bars or clubs. She was there tonight just for Allison.
"Sabrina, your brother's really upset. You should go hwith him. I'll take care of Allie and call us a ride."
She'd had a Mojito earlier, so driving wasn't an option.
"Alright, I'm gonna go home. Olivia, take care of Allie for me."
Allison, lost in her drunken haze, thought she saw a familiar figure. "Joshua?" Allison mumbled.
Olivia held Allison, soothing her like a child. "Allie, sweetie, let's get you home."
"Olivia, | saw him. | saw Joshua," Allison slurred, stumbling forward.
Olivia gently pulled her back. "Allie, you're seeing things. You're drunk."
"No, | really saw him. He's here."
Allison's eyes welled with tears, her face filled with sorrow. "Joshua, are you here? Cout!"
