Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Chapter 628
Josh had no words.
He commented, “What’s up with you two? You were getting along just fine and giving us front-row seats to your public display of
affection, but now another fight broke out. No wonder Serenity went to a bar. It was all because of you.”
Zachary replied, “Look into where they are right now and how long they’ve been there. Are they drunk? Give me a reply if you
hear anything back.”
“Alright. I’ll get right to it.”
Josh swiftly hung up the call and dove into investigating the girls’ whereabouts.
While waiting for an answer, Zachary contacted his private plane crew and instructed them, “Prepare to fly back. I want to return
to Wiltspoon in a few minutes.”
He did not want Serenity to drop him off at the airport when he needed to go away for business. One reason was he had to
return to the office, and the second was he did not have a plane ticket ready. Zachary took a private plane abroad.
Following Zachary’s last-minute notice, the crew started flight preparations.
After taking care of his arrangements, Zachary started to call Serenity.
Serenity, Jasmine, and her younger brother, Drake, were having a blast at the bar.
Since Drake could not drink, he sat in a corner and watched the two ladies take one drink after another.
Serenity, in particular, was just downing drinks.
He had to say something, “Serenity, don’t drink too much. You’re looking rather red in the face. I don’t think you can handle that
much liquor. You’re going to get wasted.”
Serenity answered with a smile, “Alcohol is the answer to all your problems. I want to get drunk for a change and forget about
Zachary!”
Drake looked at his sister.

Patting her brother on the shoulder, Jasmine said, “Serenity’s feeling down. I’m under orders to drink with. her tonight. Just watch
us. Don’t try to talk her out of it. Let her drink her problems away. Tomorrow, she’ll wake up with a horrible headache, sores, and
an awful feeling in the gut. That’s her problem for drowning. her sorrows.”
Π
Drake was speechless.
Serenity hooked her arm over her best friend’s shoulder. “You know me best, Jas. Today, we drink. We’ll leave the worries until
tomorrow.”
She did not want to think about the consequences of getting drunk.
Serenity was feeling depressed.
She could keep all her emotions under wraps during the day.
However, like many others who unleashed their madness in the bar, Serenity could not hold in the pent-up emotions and
proceeded to free her hair.
Ring, ring...
Serenity’s phone rang.

“It might be my sister.”
Serenity gestured for Jasmine and her brother to keep it down as she whipped out her phone. It was Zachary. Furrowing her
brows, she handed the phone to Jasmine and let out a hiccup before asking her best friend, “Jas, the petty guy is calling me
now.
“He won’t even take my calls or answer my texts. Should I even take his call?”
Although Jasmine had a couple of drinks, she was still lucid. Jasmine replied, “You decide whether you want to take or decline
the call. I can’t decide for you.”

Zachary would blame her if he were to find out. Jasmine would not be able to talk her way out of it.
“No. He should get a taste of rejection.”
Serenity rejected Zachary’s call.
Nevertheless, Zachary immediately dialed her number again.
She terminated the call once more.
Zachary called, and she hung up.
After several times, Zachary appeared rather grimacing.
