The atmosphere between Isaac and Alice became increasingly heated as their teasing and flirting continued. Neither of them seemed particularly interested in backing down. Eventually, Alice stood up, grabbed his hand, and decided that they should go somewhere else.
Isaac did not bother asking where she was taking him at first. He simply allowed Alice to drag him along, curious about what she had in mind, until they eventually arrived at a quiet pub and entered one of the private rooms. Alice ordered drinks without hesitation, and Isaac watched her with a faint smile as she seemed determined to enjoy the evening.
"Don't drink too much. We still need to have dinner later," Isaac reminded her once their drinks arrived.
Alice gave him an indifferent look before taking another drink, clearly showing that his warning had not affected her much.
"It will be fine. You worry too much," she said.
