Natasha didn’t have time to look away and happened to be looking at him as well. She had more than just a few drinks tonight; her eyes were misty, carrying a certain intensity that was especially alluring.
Jared locked eyes with her; his heart skipped a beat. He almost couldn’t control himself and wanted to walk over to her. Suddenly, Lizzie clung to his arm. In a spoiled, playful tone, she said, “Jared, I’m so dizzy. Can you send me home tonight?
She swayed unsteadily, nearly collapsing into him. Everyone’s attention shifted to them. With all eyes on him, Jared couldn refuse her outright. But he didn’t say yes, either. Instead, he turned and strode straight out of the private room.
Lizzie assumed he had agreed. She hurried after him, her face lighting up with excitement. “Jared, wait for me!” she called out. She hurried after Jared in her heels and finally caught up, panting.
Jared turned around and shot her a cold, indifferent glance. “Wait for you? For what?” he asked.
Lizzie said, “To send me home!”
Jared’s eyes flashed cold. “Did I ever agree to send you home?” Lizzie was at a loss for words. Jared turned to leave. completely indifferent.
Seeing this, Lizzie pretended to stumble and took the opportunity to fall against him. “Oh my, I feel so dizzy!”
She was dead set on making Jared send her home tonight, even if she had to cling to him shamelessly. Jared fixed his gaze on the woman who had deliberately fallen into his arms, his brows knitting tightly together.
The car sped down the road, the night outside a blur. Lizzie blinked awake, her eyes half-closed. She suddenly realized no one was beside her in the back seat; Jared was no longer around.
She instinctively glanced around the car and found Jared was nowhere to be seen, except for the driver and herself. She snapped awake and immediately blurted out to the driver, “Where’s Jared?”
The driver said, “Mr. Rundell has something to attend to and has left.”
“What?” Lizzie was shocked.
She had used every trick she could think of merely to hitch a ride with Jared: She never expected Jared to ditch her and left before they even reached her place. Lizzie felt deeply betrayed, as if he had cheated on her.
“Open the door! I want to get out!” Lizzie demanded furiously.
The driver was expressionless. “Mr. Rundell wants me to send you home.”
“I don’t want you to send me,” Lizzie protested angrily. “Stop the car!” she shouted, her voice shaking with anger. She didn’t I want anyone else but Jared to send her home.
The driver didn’t stop the car, completely ignoring her demand. Instead, he quietly turned on the music, unfazed, no matter how Lizzie yelled and cursed at him.
In the private room at Golden Bay Entertainment City, the other colleagues began to leave one after another after Lizzie left. The bustling private room suddenly went quiet.
Natasha had drunk too much and was leaning against the sofa, her face mostly hidden by her hair, making her expression hard to read.

Chapter 389
“Want me to send you home?” Leigh was about to head out, but she didn’t feel right leaving Natasha alone in the private room, so she walked over to ask.
Natasha shook her head. “No thanks, I just want to sit here for a while before heading out.”
Just as Leigh wanted to say something, her phone suddenly rang. She answered the call, then turned to Natasha, her expression tense. “Something urgent just came up at home. I have to go now.”
Natasha waved her off. “Don’t worry about me, go ahead.”Leigh left hurriedly, and the room went dead silent
Natasha rubbed her temples and closed her eyes. Just then, she heard footsteps at the door. Natasha figured it was Leigh coming back, so she didn’t really care. But as the person approached, she realized something’wasn’t right./
“Had a little too much tonight, huh?” Jared leaned in, his deep, husky voice rang out beside her ear.
Natasha slowly opened her hazy eyes, catching sight of a shadowy figure looming nearby. Jared leaned in, closing the distance between them. He instantly caught the smell of alcohol on her; his brows furrowed.
“You could never handle drinks, but still insisted on having some, he grumbled inwardly. ‘And now, you’re so drunk.
Seeing Natasha not responding, Jared reached out and lightly patted her flushed cheek. “Just how much did you drink?” he teased.
