Adam Sinclair couldn't resist him and handed back the glass.
Baron Lawrence immediately poured another glass of booze and drank it down in one go.
The strong liquor hit his throat, burning his stomach with a throbbing pain.
Although uncomfortable, it hurt less than his heart.
The alcohol provided a brief numbness to his nerves and temporarily numbed his aching heart. He leaned against the sofa, closed his eyes and said, "Adam, later help me get a room upstairs."
"You are not going home to sleep?"
"No."
He was afraid he would lose control and take actions he couldn't undo if he went home!
Adam frowned but eventually compromised, "I understand. I'll call the manager to arrange it for you."
