"Tell me, Jessica, what do you think of these people?"
Jess smirked at Alfred's question but she indulged him. She scanned the crowd and in her best neutral voice, she said, "Well, this group is well dominated by men. The women who are today are mostly arm candy. Brought here as another way to show off other than talking about their achievement." She snorted and down the remaining alcohol in her glass.
She glanced at Alfred who drank twice as much as she drunk but didn't show any sign of being intoxicated. While she was already a mess. She couldn't believe that she would actually enjoy drinking with this sly old man.
