Shattered Illusions Love Lies and Redemption (Lizetta and Remington) novel Chapter 1039

Seeing this, Silas's brother on her other side also raised a glass.

“You might not know this, Lizetta, but I've actually watched your dance performances before. You were absolutely stunning on stage. Let me toast you as well, to forget all the unpleasantness just now, alright?”

The glass was pushed right up to her face, but Lizetta raised her hand and shoved it away.

“I don't drink. I have to drive later.”

Andrea burned with resentment at the mention of driving. She immediately chimed in.

“It's fine, Liz. Even if you get drunk, we have a driver at home. Or you could just rest here for the afternoon. You don't have to go back to work—it just takes one word from Mom, right?”

She looked over at Eartha for support.

Eartha wore a refined, elegant smile. She nodded at Andrea before turning to Lizetta.

“Liz, there's no harm in having a couple of drinks with the boys for your first meeting. I've already approved your time off for the afternoon. We haven't even gone shopping together yet. You and Andrea can come to the boutiques with me later. Just forget about work for today.”

With her open encouragement, the Porter brothers grew even bolder.

They were practically trying to pour the liquor directly down Lizetta's throat.

Screech!

Lizetta's chair made a harsh, grating sound against the floor as she aggressively shoved it back and stood up.

She swatted her hand out defensively. Silas lost his grip on the glass, sending it toppling over and splashing alcohol all over his dress shirt.

He jumped up with a gasp, completely ignoring the mess on his clothes as he reached out to grab Lizetta.

“Lizetta, are you okay?”

As he leaned in, a wave of pungent, suffocating men's cologne assaulted her senses. It was absolutely repulsive.
