Chapter 91


    Just as expected, many men felt disheartened when they saw the intimate gestures between Hilda and


    Jared. Even Zayne’s eyes were filled with jealousy as he looked in Jared’s direction. When Jared


    introduced Maria to Hilda, he exined, “This is Mr. Saunders’ daughter, Maria. Her dad and mine


    wererades in the army.” Hilda instantly figured out that Gary must have wanted to approach


    Maria’s father when he told her he would ask a friend about a job for her.


    Hence, she walked up to Maria and held her hand. “Maria, you’re really pretty. I have heard Jared and


    Mr. Chance mention you before. I just never had the opportunity to meet you.” Maria smiled in


    response to Hilda’s friendliness. “Hilda, you look stunning yourself.” “This is Troy.

    We’re on the same team,” Jared continued while pointing at a bespectacled colleague in the corner.


    “Nice to meet you!” Hilda smiled while extending her hand. “T-The pleasure is mine.” Blushing, Troy


    gently shook Hilda’s hand. Troy’s reaction caused everyone to burst intoughter. Soon, everyone


    began to make merry, singing and drinking at the same time. Moreover, many of them came over to


    make a toast to Jared, challenging his capacity to drink.


    Realizing what was going on, Hilda shielded Jared from them. “At this rate, Jared will be drunk in no


    time. I’ll drink in his ce instead.” With that, Hilda downed a mug of beer. Since Hilda was standing up


    for Jared, the guys weren’t going to let the opportunity slip. From their perspective, Hilda would be


    knocked out after just two beers.


    Soon, all of them realized they couldn’t be more wrong. Despite taking on the crowd’s challenge and


    downing drink after drink, Hilda didn’t look as if she was drunk at all. When everyone realized there was


    barely any change to her expression, they were stupefied. Even Jared looked at her in disbelief. No


    one had expected such a demure-looking girl to be so good at drinking. At that moment, she had thirty


    empty beer bottles right beneath her feet.


    Meanwhile, everyone else’s face was already red from having too much to drink. In fact, some of them


    could barely maintain their bnce. “All right now, let’s start singing instead of drinking non-stop.”


    Finally, Zayne stepped in to stop the drinking challenge. Otherwise, everyone else would be drunk


    before Hilda felt anything. “Hilda, you’re an amazing drinker,” Maria remarked with her eyes filled with


    both envy and astonishment.


    Hilda smiled, “Unfortunately, that’s the only thing I’m good at.” “Hilda, you’re awesome! If my alcohol


    tolerance were as high as yours, no one will dare challenge me to a drinking game again!” Lydia


    eximed in admiration as she sat down beside Hilda. “Lydia, it’s possible to improve one’s drinking


    capacity through practice. I’ll teach you how to do it next time. Besides, I like how our surnames are


    simr to each other too,” Hilda replied jovially.


    Hilda was undeniably good at socializing. Within a short period of time, the threedies had be


    best friends that could talk about anything under the sun. “Hilda, given how pretty and good-natured


    you are, how did you end up being interested in Jared? To me, he is just an annoying country


    bumpkin,” Lydia asked candidly after having quite a bit to drink.


    Sitting by the side, Jared didn’t sing nor drink. All he did was make idle chatter with Troy once in a


    while. Evidently, he didn’t fit in with the rest at all. “Lydia, Jared is actually a pretty good guy. I know


    because I grew up with him.


    Perhaps, you just don’t know him well yet,” Hilda calmly exined and wasn’t upset at all. Given


    Hilda’s response, Lydia knew it would be inappropriate to disparage Jared further. Hence, she took up


    the mic and suggested, “Come, why don’t we sing a song together?”
