Rachel felt a punch in her gut. Carson being there meant another thing, something she desperately wanted to avoid. Running into Victor was the last thing she wanted.

But lo and behold…
Alicia noticed that Victor was staring at the unexpected visitor. She was reminded of what happened in the Sue Garden a few days ago. She barely contained her feelings, wanting to scream at Rachel and drag her out.
Alicia’s roommate saw the flash of anger and jealousy in her eyes.
Without a second thought, she poured a glass of wine and walked towards Rachel.

“Happy Birthday, indeed right? We were about to toast to Alicia’s name, Miss Bennet. So, how about you do the honors?” Then, she handed Rachel the glass of red wine, smiling maliciously.
Rachel stared down at the red wine with an ice-cold expression on her face. She did not intend to take it.
“What’s this? You don’t want to make a toast to Alicia and wish her a happy birthday, Miss Bennet?” Rachel remained still and Lori,
Alicia’s roommate, noticed that she had been quiet. With a sneer, she pushed the glass of wine towards the newcomer again.
Everyone else in the room was giggling, eyeing Rachel with mockery.
Alicia never thought that her roommate would do something like this out of the blue. She hesitated for a while whether or not she should intervene because she assumed Rachel was pregnant and couldn’t drink.
In the end, she just clenched her fists and averted her gaze.
Her eyes fell on the bar counter.
Victor had already stood up from his seat and placed his empty wine glass on the bar’s counter. He was still looking at them, but Alicia knew he had his eyes focused only on Rachel.
She unconsciously bit her lower lip and tightened her fists even more.
Her perfectly manicured nails dug into the skin of her palm, causing a burst of pain.
Lori’s hand was a little sore and numb from holding the glass of wine, but Rachel still seemed unconcerned. She couldn’t help but feel frustrated.
“Are you…”
But before she could finish, someone abruptly took the wine glass in her hand.
Carson sniff the wine and said, “Miss Bennet is allergic to alcohol and is unable to drink. Since I was the one who invited her, she’s under my watch. I’ll drink the three glasses of wine on her behalf.
Would that be okay?”
Lori was taken aback and stuttered, “Mr… Mr. Scott, you want to drink it for her?”
“Of course.” Carson raised his eyebrows.
“How about this? I’ll double that and drink six glasses of wine. Is that sincere enough?”
Lori pressed her lips tightly. She never expected Carson to suddenly step in and help Rachel out.
