Awake for Love: My Coma Bridegroom

Chapter 205

"They avoid me like the plague and don't even want to say hi to me." Elijah stopped in his tracks, his

voice tinged with sadness.

"Boss, how about I go say hi to her and take a peek at what her daughter looks like?" Joey wanted to

help him out.

"No need. Your mission tonight is to get close to Mike."

"Alright."

After the Dennis Group's dinner party, there would be a series of entertainment and leisure activities.

Joey's friend promised to take him along later.

This way, Joey would have a chance to get close to Mike.

After Violette and her family got in the car, Joey said to Elijah, "Boss, you should head back! You

haven't visited Ms. Sarah yet today, have you? She's injured, and if you don't see her, she'll probably

feel pretty bummed."

Today, Elijah had been busy at work all day. Joey could tell he was feeling down, so he buried himself

in work.

But some things had to be faced eventually.

Right now, Makayla still needed Sarah's treatment, so Elijah, as her boyfriend, couldn't be too

heartless.

After Elijah left, about half an hour later, Joey's friend emerged from the restaurant.

A bunch of guys came out with him, including Mike.

"Our technical director plans to take us to a bar to continue drinking... Joey, I remember you can hold

your liquor pretty well. Later, you can accompany our director for a few drinks," Joey's friend whispered,

putting his arm around Joey's shoulder. "I feel like our director and our boss are more like 'sisters'...

normal couples wouldn't be that clingy. I don't know if you get what I mean... you can probe a bit when

you drink with our director later."

Joey was shocked but then secretly delighted.

If Mike and Violette were "sisters," that would be the best news ever!

These past few days, Elijah had been looking increasingly haggard because of Violette and Mike being

together.

And since they were divorced, there wasn't much Elijah could do about it.

"Speaking of which, I feel like our boss and Makayla aren't really a couple either... but I can't quite put

my finger on what their relationship is," Joey whispered. "Don't let this get out, or my boss will find out

and I'll be toast."

"I won't tell if you don't. After all, our technical director is second-in-command in the company. If he's

not what we think, he'll definitely fire me."

"Got it!"

The dim lighting and alcohol made it very easy for people to get carried away.

After a couple of drinks, Joey's friend brought him over to Mike.

"This is my friend, Joey. He's pretty good at drinking, so let him keep you company!"

Mike's hazy eyes swept over Joey's face.

Among the guys Mike knew, Joey's looks were just okay, but his eyes were very special.

It had been a long time since he'd seen such clear and clean eyes.

"How much red wine can you drink?" Mike asked, clinking glasses with Joey.

"Half a bottle at most. My alcohol tolerance is actually pretty average."

"Oh, that is average. Well, accompany me for half a bottle then!" Mike's face was flushed, contrasting

sharply with the skin on his neck.

After having a drink with him, Joey felt that he seemed pretty normal based on their conversation and

eye contact.

A few drinks later, the two started chatting.

Under the influence of alcohol, Joey completely forgot the purpose of asking him out for drinks.

And Mike's guard against Joey was lowered.

A few hours later, Joey got up, swaying as he prepared to leave. Mike also got up and left with him!
