    Meanwhile, Aurora seemed unwell due to the amount of alcohol she had consumed. A few moments


    puke."


    "How much did you drink? You don''t look like you had as much as you did previously, but why do you


    seem so drunk today?" Cindy was surprised.


    Aurora went to the washroom and tried to make herself throw up, but only tears and mucus came out of


    her eyes and nostrils. She then washed her face and propped her body with her hands on the edge of


    the basin, feeling slightly more refreshed. "They mixed a few shots in my drink along with something


    foreign. Ah! It tasted like sh*t when I guzzled it down my throat!"


    Cindy raised her eyebrows. "I thought you were just having an ordinary dinner with those people. Why


    were you guys even drinking in the first ce?"


    Aurora smiled helplessly. "Those people don''t care about how I feel either. In fact, they don''t give a


    damn about anyone else. No matter what I said to turn them down, they only cared about making


    themselves happy."


    Well, when you don''t have power, that''s probably what you''re going to have to endure. Cindy was


    starting to have an idea about what Aurora was going through, although she didn’t really understand


    her situation.


    After vomiting, Aurora felt a lot better and returned to the couch. She sat down and got some rest.


    Soon, Cindy came to her with a ss of water, pondering for a few seconds before she asked, "Would


    you like me to make you a little something to eat? Did you eat anything earlier tonight?"


    Aurora rested her head on the couch and answered weakly, "No, I didn''t. All I did was drink. If I had


    eaten, I wouldn''t have been able to drink at all, which would have gotten me in a lot of trouble."


    Cindy then walked into the kitchen upon hearing Aurora''s words. "Do you want some chowder or


    pasta?"


    Despite herck of appetite, Aurora was feeling ufortable in her stomach, especially after


    vomiting. Therefore, she was forced to pick a choice. "Chowder."


    Cindy responded with an affirmative hum and went on to make Aurora some chowder as she wished.


    Upon getting everything ready, she stepped out of the kitchen and asked, "Would you like to take a


    shower or something? You don''t seem veryfortable."


    Yeah, she''s right. I don''t feelfortable after vomiting. Also, I''m all sweaty now. Aurora hummed in


    response and made her way to the bathroom once again. At the same time, she said, "Ian wants to


    leave the entertainment industry, and guess what? I think he''s right. This industry is not meant for


    anyone."


    On the other hand, Cindy busied herself in the kitchen and cooked some extra dishes, thinking it was a


    little too in to just have chowder for dinner. Not long after she was done cooking, Aurora exited the


    washroom upon showering, seemingly a lot more refreshed than she previously was.


    Cindy sat on the couch and watched Aurora. Somehow, she fell into her thoughts and wondered if Ian


    had ever found himself in a situation like his mother. After all, men tended to find themselves in a


    position where drinking was inevitable more than women did, and they were also expected not to find


    excuses to avoid it.


    At the thought of that, Cindy felt a stab of pain in her heart and recalled the words that Aurora had said


    earlier. I''m d that Ian is going to retire from the entertainment industry soon. He may be making easy


    money now, but he''s doing that at the cost of his health.


    In the entertainment industry, only the most well-known celebrities could choose whether they wanted


    to go along with the rich. Otherwise, they would have to abandon their pride and please the big shots


    whenever they were supposed to. Because of that, Cindy didn''t think Ian had to swallow his pride just

    to make someone else happy since both of them had enough money to live a decent life.


    On the other hand, Aurora came closer to the couch and sank into the cushion for some rest. When the


    food was ready, Cindy headed into the kitchen and filled two empty bowls with some hot chowder, then


    the two sat down at the dining table. In the meantime, Aurora didn''t feel like eating, but due to her


    gastric condition, she forced herself to pick at the food since she was worried it would lead to more


    health issues.


    While the twodies were eating, Aurora asked Cindy whether everything was okay at work, to which


    thetter gave an affirmative reply. Then, Aurora looked up and gazed at Cindy, asking, "In that case,


    why didn''t you eat when you came back earlier tonight? You seemed tired and unmotivated, so I


    thought you were troubled by something pressing at work.
