John Fame and Kai Piers really did go out to drink, each downing a bottle of red wine, their hearts full of troubles.
In the small villa.
At dinner time, Lissy Lock sat at the dining table, looking at all the dishes, and had several sips of water.
Aunt Green said, "Madam, the dishes are quite light, try to eat a bit."
Lissy Lock picked up her chopsticks, nodded, and said "Okay".
She tasted a little and had a few bites of rice. It tasted fine, so she continued eating satisfactorily.
After dinner, she just returned to her room when her phone rang.
She picked it up and saw that it was Oliver Winslow.
The events of today flashed in Lissy Lock's mind - how John Fame and Skye Turner had been pressing her relentlessly, just to appease their own hearts.
Now, Oliver Winslow... was also relentlessly pursuing her.
Lissy Lock put the phone back where it was, intending to ignore the call.
A minute later, the ringing finally stopped.
