Beside Zoe, Candice said, "Looks the same to me." "No way," Zoe said as she checked the script again. "This one is so crude!""Well, how complex did you want it?" Candice laughed. "They gave you a minor role before, and it's paragraphs for you now. What more do you want?"It was just banter—she meant no harm despite the irony in her words.On the other hand, Zoe was frowning as she came to a realization.Could it be…?!She couldn’t help asking, "Could you show me your last script?""Hold on, I think I kept it in my bag…" Candice quickly took it out and showed it to Zoe, while unable to hold back a huge sigh. "See? I had at least two pages' worth of lines last time, but it's been halved! I'm sure I won't even have this much in the next round."Zoe read Candice's script for the last round twice, and finally confirmed her earlier suspicions. Even her script for the last round was different from the rest of the cast; her heart skipped a beat, while she felt a flutter over her ch

That was when Zoe saw Quinn, leaning against her car door while looking at her with glee."When did you come back?" Zoe huffed, trying to make herself look angry."When you were pressing yourself against that geezer for a photo," Quinn replied."He's just a fan," Zoe snorted, but clearly proud.Let her have this moment—it had been years since she felt like this.Quinn simply smiled and returned to her car with Zoe.They headed to an expensive restaurant, running into Bob at the entrance.Cora was not with him, for once.Bob was surprised to see them. "You two are eating here as well?""Yeah." Zoe nodded."Oh! Jay, Sam, and I are having dinner here too. We never did meet up after Sam got out," Bob explained, and eagerly invited them. "Care to join us? This is too good a coincidence to pass up."Zoe presumed that Quinn would say no, so she kept quiet.After all, she couldn’t reject Bob well; their short stint of a relationship left her somehow dwarfed around him these days.

Though their eyes met for just a second, Zoe immediately turned away. Jay also quietly turned away.To make herself appear calm, Zoe told Bob, "Don't even joke about it. You're engaged.""That's exactly why I'd joke about it," Bob grinned, though there seemed to be a slight bitterness in it.Even so, mentioning the engagement did make Zoe feel a little less awkward."Let's drink," Sam suddenly said, raising his glass and clearly not keen on letting the mood be spoiled just like that. "You've been nagging us to drink, but you're not touching your glass when you arrive."Bob was being nice when he brought Zoe and Quinn as well.Zoe picked up her glass of water, which Bob spotted immediately. He exclaimed in disbelief, "You're drinking water, Zoe?!"The girl was an incorrigible alcoholic!"I'll pass since I still have a rehearsal tomorrow." Zoe smiled. "Don't worry, I'll drink as much water as you would alcohol for the night. And pure water, at that.""Isn't that a little weird?"

Remembering how Hailey had yelled at her the last time around, Zoe decided that she must stop drinking immediately.Deciding that she needed to stay sober, she excused herself to the washroom. Unfortunately, she was already tipsy and almost in a state where she wanted to drink more at the moment.Thus, she needed to wash her face and clear her head.It took her a while, but just as she opened the door to leave, she found Jay standing outside.She glanced at him, and then at his cane.So, that was a permanent disability and not a temporary fracture.Jay sensed her stare.So, she knew that he was now a cripple?He swallowed, but said, "Tomorrow's rehearsal has been canceled.""What?" Zoe was a little surprised."Didn't you check the group chat?" Jay asked. "Bob's been making me drink, so I didn't notice. When was it canceled, and why?" Zoe asked curiously as she whipped out her phone.Then, she found the notice that the rehearsal for tomorrow had been called off. Everyone

"You call yourself fat?" Bob found it inconceivable, and grew exceedingly agitated. "Do you even have fat on your body? It hurts to see you so skinny! Hell, I’d like to cut off my flab and give it to you."As Jay slowly returned to his seat, Zoe looked disgusted. "Please don't. I won't survive that.""Look, I'm telling you, Zoe," Bob huffed. "I don't know how things work in showbiz, but I can't take it if you have to become skin and bones just to stay in it.”"You don't have to take it," Zoe retorted, speechless. "As long as the audience likes it.""What, I'm not a part of the audience?""An insignificant part of the audience.""I'll be your No.1 fan, believe it!""Thank you, but you should stick to being Cora Levine's No.1 fan. I don't need the trouble," Zoe said bluntly.Such was the influence of alcohol—she was much more candid now.At that, Bob's expression changed a little.Cora seemed to be a touchy subject around this table, and the mood around the table changed dramat

"That won't do," Bob said. "Ending as soon as we got started? We’re going elsewhere. That, or I'm telling the waiters to bring us a second helping for everything we ordered. Either way, everyone’s getting drunk before they leave.""Bob…""That's non-negotiable." Bob was determined, and promptly booked a private room at a nightclub without asking for anyone's opinion. "Alright, let's go—Phantom Nights, room 008."None of them had any choice but to follow him. Since they had been drinking, they split into two cars.Bob pulled Jay and Zoe along to his car, knowing that Zoe might give them the slip; no one other than him would be able to stop her.As for Sam and Quinn, Sam was most definitely staying since he was always that straight-laced—he agreed to join Bob and Jay in the first place, and therefore would stick with them until the end.As for Quinn… Well, they’re married, and Sam was the one who decided if Quinn went or not.To no surprise, Zoe had asked repeatedly to leave along

Whenever Bob and Zoe had finished chugging, Sam would quickly follow up and goad Zoe into chugging another glass.Sam was clearly eager to mess with her, and those two were clearly conspiring together despicably… and against one woman at that!And to think that a fine woman like Quinn was married to one of them.Naturally, Quinn could tell that Sam was eager to mess with Zoe, and she knew the extent of Zoe's alcohol tolerance.While she could handle Bob alone just fine, it was virtually impossible to win against Sam.When it came to Sam's ability to stomach alcohol… How should Quinn put this? She never saw him actually drunk."Bob, we never drink much together usually," she said, picking up her glass as well. "Let's drink more tonight to get to know each other better. If there's any legal advice you might need—""Hold it," Bob stopped her right then. "I'm really hoping I never have to seek legal advice."Quinn was left feeling awkward—she never took part in social dinners like

Looking utterly curious, Zoe asked Jay, "Still nothing?"Jay was blushing, though it was not obvious under the dim lights."I did feel that," he replied."Oh, so you feel something here, but not elsewhere…" Jay stiffened as Zoe was starting to grope him and was left wondering if he should actually move.Zoe was clearly so drunk she had no idea what she was doing!"Z-Zoe?!"Quinn just happened to arrive at the washroom as well—her stomach was churning and she was almost going to throw up.However, she completely forgot about that when she saw the sight that greeted her.Was Zoe… teasing Jay?Was she so drunk she could not see straight?She could see Jay flushing, while Zoe was still enjoying herself.Hearing Quinn then, Zoe turned toward Quinn and exclaimed excitedly like a child finding a new toy, "Quinn, come check this out!"Quinn was bewildered. How could Zoe say something like that?! And she could clearly see Jay's face turning green!Nonetheless, Zoe was still at
