Chapter 204
The situation turnedplicated instantly. Victoria wanted Fiona to know that
ric already had a significant other so she couldpletely give up her feelings
for him. However, she didn’t want Fiona to know about her involvement with ric
as well.
Suddenly, she found herself in a dilemma.
“I’m sorry for today, Victoria. Why don’t you go back first?” Fiona’s voice traveled to
her ears while she was lost in thought.
“Aren’t youing with me?” Victoria asked after recovering from her stupefaction.
At that, Fiona bit her lower lip and shook her head. “I don’t feel easy leaving him
alone when he’s in this state.”
“And you
think I feel easy about leaving you with him?”
Fiona smiled in response and said softly, “I’ll be fine, Victoria. Even if something
does happen, it’s on me.”
Victoria was rendered speechless. Having known the woman for many years, she
never realized until now that Fiona could be such a hopeless romantic.

Momentster, Victoria said resolutely, “No way. I can’t leave you alone here.”
“Victoria, please believe me! He’s not a bad guy, I promise. Whatever happened
earlier was a misunderstanding. He won’t do anything to me!”
“How long have you known him?” Though exasperated, Victoria felt that as a friend,
since she hade along with Fiona tonight, she should fulfill her duty to advise
her.
“Come on, half a year is a pretty long time.”
Victoria sneered at that. “Is that so? Do you know his name, then? How old is he this
year, his height, weight, profession, or even…” Victoria paused for a moment before
continuing, “You don’t even know if he’s married!”
“He’s not!”
Fiona was guilty of not being able to answer any of the previous questions.
However, she refuted instinctively upon hearing thest question.
“Why are you so sure that he’s not? You couldn’t even answer any of the previous
questions, yet you retorted thest one immediately. Is he not married, or do you
think he’s not married?”

Fiona wrinkled her nose at once and furrowed her brows. “Would he constantly get
drunk in a bar if he’s married?”
How many people have you really met for you to make such a judgment?” Victoria
decided not to argue further and went straight to the point. “Come with me.”
“Victoria Fiona eximed. ‘I really don’t understand what’s going on with you
today! Among the three of us, you used to be the most softhearted and
kind–hearted. But today, this person is lying unconscious on the ground, on a
winter’s night at that, yet you’re telling me not to care about him. This doesn’t sound
like you”
Victoria said nothing in response, leading Fiona to size her up. “Just what’s up? Are
you in a bad mood because you’re having your period?”
Exasperation overcame Victoria at this point. Great, all that for nothing.
After a long while, she finally uttered, “This has nothing to do with my period.”
However, Fiona had already decided not tomunicate with her anymore. She
helped ric up and said to Victoria, “Either way, I won’t leave him behind today. You
should go back first, Victoria.”

Victoria gazed silently at her for a long while before finally sighing as if conceding.
“Alright, what are you going to do with him?”
She nced at ric, mixed emotions surging within her while musing, He’s already
with udia, and he looked so morous at the auction venue earlier. Why did he
run off to a bar, then? What on earth is he doing?
Meanwhile, Fiona nced around andmented, “In the past, his friend would
alwayse and get him every time he got drunk. I’m not sure why, but they don’t
seem to be here today.”
His friend?
“A woman?”
“As if. It’s a guy!”
A guy and a friend? Could it be Norwood?
“Well, given his current state, he can’t continue staying here.” At that, Victoria
pondered and said, “If you’re really worried about him, you can leave him with the
bartender and have him call his friend.”
That was the best way to deal with strangers; it was also what Victoria intended to

1. do. However, Fiona had long had a crush on ric and didn’t want to go with
Victoria’s n.
As such, she bit her lip and said decisively, “It might be too much trouble to find the
bartender. Why don’t I just get a cab and take him to a hotel?”
“And then?” Victoria didn’t seem surprised by her response.
“And then… Oh, I’ll figure it out as I go. Don’t worry about me.”
Victoria took a deep breath, suppressing her temper so that her voice didn’t sound
off. “Fine, I’ll apany you. We’ll take him to a hotel and make sure he’s okay, then
we’ll leave.”
Fiona wanted to continue refuting, but when she saw that Victoria was possibly
pissed, she worried thetter would really flip out if she continued. As such, she
nodded reluctantly. “Alright, let’s go.”
Afterward, the two of them called a bartender over, and they lifted ric into a cab
together, taking him to a nearby hotel. s, the hotel required a person’s ID for
check–in.
“Victoria, could you help me support him for a moment? I’ll find

Reluctantly, Victoria stepped forward to help support ric.
As soon as she took hold of him, all of ric’s weight pressed onto her, and she
took a couple of steps back to steady herself.

The scent of alcohol mixed with male hormones invaded her breath, and the familiar
sensation from five years ago made her chest tighten.
Victoria bit her lower lip at that. If it weren’t for Fiona’s sake, she wanted to shove
ric away.
After the hotel staff took the ID, they asked, “How many people will be staying?”
Fiona initially wanted to include herself, but considering Victoria was here too, she
changed her words. “Just him.”
“Alright, ma’am, we’ll need this gentleman’s ID.”
“His ID?” Fiona blinked. “He’s drunk, and I don’t know where his ID is. Can’t you use
mine?”
“I’m sorry, ma’am. ording to our hotel’s policy, we need the ID of the person
checking in.”
