As Maisie acted to leave the venue, Olivia started telling everyone how her friend was just too drunk. "Sorry about this. Maisie just lost it tonight. Please don't misunderstand her."
She then grabbed Ethan's arm and suggested, softly whispering in his ear, "Talk to her! Get her to correct things when she is sober. Everyone will hate me!"
"She still... is probably hurt." With glaring eyes, Olivia repeated herself, "Talk to her. This was your idea to get married soon in the first place!"
Ethan could only hiss. He forced a smile at his friends and family, saying, "Excuse me, I need to make sure that Maisie is safe."
"Don't worry everyone, we will clear this issue when she is no longer drunk. This is all just a misunderstanding," he added before finally taking the leave.
Outside the halls, Maisie was striding fast.
