After that round of drinks, only Ruby Mercer remained sober at the scene.
Although she drank too, she wasn't as reckless as the others.
Dora Johnson finally clinked her glass with Ruby Mercer, "Ruby, I'm leaving. I don't plan to come back within two years!"
"If you miss me, remember to come find me!"
Ruby Mercer clinked her glass with hers, "I'll see you off tomorrow morning!"
Dora Johnson shook her head, "No need, no one needs to see me off!"
"I want to leave alone!"
"No one should expect to see me cry!"
After saying that, she glanced at Lionel from the corner of her eye, and his grip on the wine glass tightened.
The party ended, and Ruby Mercer had intended to see Dora Johnson home.
Dora Johnson shook her head and refused, turning to look at Lionel.
"Can you walk with me?"
Lionel instinctively looked at Ruby Mercer, but she had already turned her gaze, pretending to pick up a call on her phone.
