Chapter 121
“Sam, why don’t I see Quinn anywhere?” Zoe asked Sam just then.
Bob spoke beside Sam before Sam could. “Have you ever seen her around a dinner where he’s present?”
“Then why would he marry Quinn?” Zoe huffed.
Bob shrugged since he had no idea either. “Ask the man himself.”
Sam grinned nonchalantly. “It’s a political marriage, get it?”
“All men are pigs.” Zoe snorted in disdain.
Even though she was friends with these men because of her cousin, she was firmly on Quinn Summer’s side when it came to Quinn’s marriage with Sam.
“Now, now, that’s not quite right,” Bob corrected Zoe with righteous indignation. “We three are not like him. Johnny may have a son, but he’s always been keeping his hands clean instead of messing around. Jay doesn’t even have a girlfriend–the man could not be more innocent. As for me, it may look like the ladies flock around me constantly… I’ve actually always refrained from debauchery too.”
“Tch!” Zoe clicked her tongue with contempt.
“You’re really getting disrespectful toward us, y’know?!” Bob snapped.
“It’s not like you can beat me and drink.” Zoe grinned provokingly.
“You bart!” Bob was immediately motivated. “Don’t blame me for being a bully if you get drunk.”
“You worry too much. You never beat me, and now, I have Cordy helping me. Just surrender already!”
“Cordy’s not drinking,” John suddenly said.
Zoe frowned. “Why?”
“Drink all you want. No means no,” John growled.
Zoe was clearly upset by that.
Cordy felt something she could not quite describe as she sat with John, too. She could tell that Zoe was close with these men, and John must often bring Zoe along when he hung out with his friends.
“Or else what? You’d put on a dress and tapdance?” Zoe smiled smugly.
“You little…” Bob was incensed by the provocation, and picked up his glass. “Bottom’s up!”
“Bottom’s up!” Zoe echoed as she chugged her glass.
Jay pursed his lips and told Bob, “If you’re that good a drinker, why don’t you drink with me instead?”
“What, with your level of tolerance? Are you sure about this?” Bob leveled Jay a skeptical look.
“It’s my nephew’s birthday. Why shouldn’t I unwind?” Jay raised a brow.
And with that, they both started to drink eagerly.
After all, while Bob was a frequent drinker, Jay rarely did, taking just a few sips even if Bob tried his best to push him. It was rare for Jay to be so enthusiastic, so Bob started to drink with him enthusiastically.
Zoe burped just then.
