Chapter 124
After leaving Richard Luther’s place, Eliana got into her car and started driving
Her mind was preoccupied with tomorrow’s case, so she didn’t pay much attention to the road just heading home on autopilot.
Even though Mr. Luther seemed confident, Eliana couldn’t shake off her uneasiten
Tomorrow’s case could affect her life for a long time, so she couldn’t help but take it seriously
If things with Logan kept dragging on, she’d have nothing but trouble ahead
She had to win tomorrow’s case, no matter what.
She was so lost in thought about the case that she barely noticed when she took a wrong turn or two
By the time she snapped out of it, she found herself in front of Nathan’s bar.
Honestly, she’d only been to Nathan’s bar once before, but tonight, somehow, she’d driven here on autopilor
The bar was glowing with light, and Eliana suddenly felt the urge to grab a drink.
She parked her car and headed inside.
The last time she’d come by, the place hadn’t even opened yet, but tonight, with the lights so bright, it looked open for business.
Tinted glass at the entrance glowed with light from inside, but she couldn’t tell if anyone was actually there
Since she’d come all this way, Eliana didn’t think twice. She just pushed the door open and stepped inside
The door wasn’t locked, but when Eliana pushed it open and stepped inside, she found the spacious bar completely deserted.
“Anyone here?” Eliana called out, her voice echoing in the room
When no one responded, she picked a seat by the window and sighed softly. Looks like it’s just me surgiu de domác
Eliana didn’t really know much about drinks, but she did remember Nathan saying last time that the muf bere cost a scall fortune.
Honestly, she couldn’t help but think the guy was totally reckles
Leaving all these pricey bottles out with the door wide open? Doesn’t he care if someone just rafts in and wondered.
She figured he’d probably just stepped out for a bit and would be back soon, so she decided to wack rest and on the place for him.
But as more than half an hour ticked by and Nathan still hadn’t shown up, Eliana was getting any sand come the call any longer.
With that in mind, she pulled out her phone and dialed Nathan ander.
But as soon as she hit call, Nathan’s ringtone came from somewhere close by.

Chapter 124
Seeing her stop struggling, Nathan just hugged her even tighter, refusing to let go.
He really wanted to tell her that he’d never let go of her, that he still loved her deeply.
But those words just kept swirling in his throat. He just didn’t have the courage to say them out loud.
She was just starting to move on from a failed marriage, and Nathan wasn’t sure if she would be able to accept it if he said anything now.
So, he could only hold her tighter, selfishly wanting to keep her in his arms for just a little longer.
It wasn’t until Eliana pushed him again that Nathan let himself fall back onto the couch, feigning sleep.
Eliana could only look at him helplessly, not knowing what else she could do.
She didn’t have contact info for anyone close to Nathan, and she really couldn’t just leave him here alone.
After weighing her options, she finally thought of Irene.
Irene showed up pretty quickly.
When she walked in and saw Nathan totally wasted, she couldn’t help but let out a laugh, half annoyed, half amused.
“You two sure have some nerve. Whenever there’s heavy lifting. I’m always the one you call,” Irene said, shaking her head.
“Last time, you were the drunk one. Now, it’s his turn. Fair’s fair, I guess,” she added with a wry grin.
When Irene brought up last time, Eliana’s cheeks flushed with embarrassment. She quickly shushed Irene. “Hey, I’m not making you do this for free. The booze here is expensive. Since you’re the one hauling him home, you get to pick any bottle you like.
“Besides, he said I’ve got a stake in this place thanks to my skills, so I get to decide which bottle you walk out with,” Eliana added with a playful grin.
But before she could finish, Irene couldn’t help but crack up.
