Elmore had personally gone to Bluepond to see Stevie and his wife and asked that Becky shouldmarry Rory again.Of course, Becky and her parents were annoyed and even angryabout this, butthey soon kept it at the back of their minds. Becky didn’t see Rory after that night she got drunk.She wasn’t really looking for updates on him, but they seemed toreplace her anyway. Babette went toCrowbar Technologies to seeRory, but Becky didn’t ask any questions about it. She wasn’tinterestedin the details. Half a month after, when Becky saw Rory again, he walked pasther as though hehadn’t seen her. She wondered if it wasbecause what she had said that night had angered him. Shedidn’t spend her time thinking about it though. Herquestions lasted for about a second. Maybe itwas good for themto ignore each other. That would be difficult though since they were all inCourtbush. They were going to run into each other every now and then, whether they wanted to ornot. Having put the incident at the road behind her, Becky was a littlesurprise to meet Rory at adinner party a few days later. The party was full of famous people who handled the approvalprocedures of Fairway Group’s projects. With that in mind, eventhe rich and independent Becky hadto be polite with them Being the only woman at the dinner party. Becky received all the attention andcare from the men, One after the other, they raised a toast in Becky’s honor. Lessthan half an hourlater, she had drunk four glasses of wine. She could hold her liquor, but if she drank too much, shecouldeasily get a stomachache.. If the person was not in charge of the examination and approvalofFairway Group’s project, Becky would have cursed him andrefused to drink to this last toast.

She thought that was going to be the last one, but as soon as sheemptied the glass, the man thatwas beside her filled her glass.again and offered more praises. Becky looked at the glass withresentment. She didn’t want todrink anymore.. Becky thought of pretending to throw up. They wouldall giveher space if she threw up, wouldn’t they? She had already drunk four glasses of liquor andhad entertained the guests long enough to satisfy them. Just as Becky was about to take action, acold voice said, “Ipropose a toast to you.”. Becky didn’t need to look at the voice to know that it

belonged toRory. He hadn’t even spared her a glance since he entered theroom. Why was herunning to her rescue now? Why he did it didn’t matter. She was just relieved that his ployworkedand that they were now talking about something else.She was no longer in the spotlight becauseRory took her place.. Someone teased him, asking if he didn’t want Becky drinking. “Mr. Casper isyoung and also kind. He seems to care for his ex-wife a lot.” “Miss Ramos has drunk a lot tonight.Mr. Casper can drink withus from now on. Come on, Mr. Casper, cheers!”. “Mr. Casper is astraightforward man! He doesn’t hide histhoughts.” Rory couldn’t turn them down, especially if it wasgoing to makethem push Becky to drink again. So, while he drank the next fewrounds, Beckypitched for her project to be approved.

After enduring the dinner for two full hours, Becky came outwith a red face, a clear indication thatshe was drunk Seeing her, Talia rushed up and helped her. “Miss Ramos, are youokay?” “rm fine…”Becky drawled in a voice that didn’t sound too fine.At the same time, Rory stepped out and walkedby her. He had helped her today. If he hadn’t, she would have drunkmore, and she would haveprobably not been able to standstraight. As she thought of this, she didn’t stop watching Rory untilhepushed Lowell away and ran to the bathroom. He had to be drunk, too.
