“You really should come out like this more often.” Eliza said. “Stop eating at fancy hotels all the time, or you’ll miss out on the real good stuff.”

For the first time, Soren had a real appetite. Everything Eliza had ordered, he tried–and liked. The flavors were totally new to him.

“Wait here a sec.”

Eliza stood up and headed over to the fridge.

A minute later, she returned with two bottles of beer and set them in front of him.

“I told you earlier I owed you an apology. This bottle’s on me.”

Soren remembered how, the last time he offered her alcohol, she didn’t drink a single drop.

But tonight was different. Without hesitation, Eliza twisted off the cap and took a long, hard chug straight from the bottle.

Soren reached out instinctively to stop her, but she pushed through, finishing the whole thing despite the bitterness.

“You drink beer?”

“If you want me to drink with you, I’ll drink.”

Soren grabbed his bottle, twisted the cap off, and followed her lead–downing the whole thing in one go.

Eliza looked at his face, one that resembled Nolan’s more than she liked to admit.

“You really do have a good–looking face.”

Just as Soren set down his empty bottle, Eliza raised her hand and called out, “Hey, another case of beer over here!”

The food stall owner was used to seeing young people pound drinks at night. But this was the first time he’d seen a couple go all out like this.

Soon, a full crate of beer landed in front of them.

Outside, Soren’s manager saw this and instantly turned pale.

He has work tomorrow. Why the hell is he drinking like this tonight?

The manager started to march in and stop them, but Soren glanced in his direction.

That single look made the manager freeze.

After all, Soren owned the entire company. If he wanted to drink, who could stop him?

Chapter 256 Just One More Drink

The helplessness of managing a superstar–only a manager could understand.

Eliza opened bottle after bottle. Her mood was off today. Soren had finally picked up on it.

“You’re not in a good mood, are you?”

“I wouldn’t say that exactly… I just kinda feel like drinking tonight.”

I didn’t even know why.

I usually hated drinking. But now, I just couldn’t stop.

Soren walked over to a sterilizing cabinet nearby and grabbed two tall beer mugs.

“Then let me drink with you.”

He poured them each a full glass.

“You’re having a bad day. So am I. Misery loves company, right? Let’s toast to that.”

“Cheers.

They clinked glasses and downed them.

“My mood sucks because of some personal stuff. What about you?”

“Same. Personal things.”

Eliza could tell he didn’t want to talk about it, so she raised her mug again. “Then let me toast to that, too.”

They clinked and drank again.

Not long after, they’d already polished off six bottles.

From outside, Soren’s manager was practically turning blue.

Soren was a public figure. If he showed up with a bloated face tomorrow, what then?

Eliza, clearly a lightweight, was already tipsy by the fourth bottle.

Her head started to spin, and as she looked at Soren, his face seemed to blur into Nolan’s.

She reached out and pinched his cheek.

“Why do you look so much like him?”

“Him?”
