Josh was at a loss for words. He remarked, “What’s going on with you two? You were getting along well, giving us a front-row view of your public display of affection, and now you’re fighting again. It’s no wonder Serenity went to a bar; it’s all because of you.”
Zachary responded, “Check where they are right now and how long they’ve been there. Are they drunk? Let me know if you hear anything back.”
“Alright. I’ll look into it right away,” Josh replied as he quickly ended the call and began investigating the girls’ location.
While waiting for a response, Zachary reached out to his private plane crew, instructing them, “Get ready to fly back. I want to return to Wiltspoon shortly.” He didn’t want Serenity to drop him off at the airport for his business trip. For one, he needed to get back to the office, and for another, he didn’t have a plane ticket. Zachary had flown abroad on a private plane.
Following his last-minute notice, the crew began preparing for the flight.
Once his arrangements were made, Zachary attempted to call Serenity.
At the bar, Serenity, Jasmine, and her younger brother, Drake, were having a great time. Since Drake couldn’t drink, he sat in a corner, observing the two women as they consumed drink after drink. Serenity, in particular, was downing drinks rapidly.
He finally spoke up, “Serenity, don’t drink too much. You’re looking quite red in the face. I don’t think you can handle that much liquor; you’re going to get wasted.”
With a smile, Serenity replied, “Alcohol is the solution to all of life’s problems. I want to get drunk for a change and forget about Zachary!”
Drake glanced at his sister.
Jasmine patted her brother on the shoulder and said, “Serenity’s feeling down. I’m here to drink with her tonight. Just watch.”
“Don’t try to talk her out of it. Let her drink her problems away. Tomorrow, she’ll wake up with a terrible headache, sores, and a deep sense of unease. That’s her consequence for drowning her sorrows.”
Drake was left speechless.
Serenity draped her arm over her best friend’s shoulder. “You know me best, Jas. Today, we drink. We’ll deal with our worries tomorrow.”
She didn’t want to contemplate the repercussions of getting drunk.
Serenity was feeling down.
She managed to keep her emotions in check during the day.
However, like many others who unleashed their frustrations at the bar, Serenity could no longer contain her bottled-up feelings and let her hair down.
Suddenly, Serenity’s phone rang.
“It’s my sister,” she said.
Serenity motioned for Jasmine and her brother to quiet down as she pulled out her phone. It was Zachary. Frowning, she handed the phone to Jasmine and hiccupped before asking her best friend, “Jas, the petty guy is calling me now.”
“He won’t take my calls or respond to my texts. Should I even answer?”
Although Jasmine had consumed a few drinks, she remained clear-headed. “You need to decide whether to take or decline the call. I can’t make that choice for you.”
If Zachary found out, he would blame her, and Jasmine wouldn’t be able to talk her way out of it.
“No. He should experience rejection.”
Serenity declined Zachary’s call.
However, he immediately dialed her number again.
She ended the call once more.
Zachary called again, and she hung up.
After several attempts, Zachary appeared increasingly frustrated.
