Find me in your labyrinth (Stella and Jonathan)

Chapter 2388



Crystal took a gulp of ice water, feeling the heat in her chest subside a bit. With her eyes closed, she shook her head, "We hardly get to see each other. I don't want to go home yet. Let's hang out a bit more!"

Sophia laughed, "Look at you, still up for more fun!"

Crystal flashed a wide smile and held up four fingers, "My record? Three days and nights without sleep!"

Sophia pushed down one of her fingers, "Wasn't that during your heartbreak phase? Let's not dredge up those miserable times!"

Crystal collapsed into her arms, laughing uncontrollably.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Suddenly, someone pushed the door open. Miranda sprang to her feet and cooed as she approached the newcomer, "Why are you just getting here now?"

The man, dressed in a suit and looking quite handsome despite the smell of alcohol, wrapped his arm around Miranda's waist with a smile, "Ran into some old friends and ended up having a couple of drinks."

Miranda, snuggling up to the man, introduced him to everyone, "This is my boyfriend, also the manager here. Everyone calls him Darcy." Everyone got up to say hello.

Crystal, still leaning on Sophia, didn't get up, seeing she was feeling unwell.

Miranda glanced at Sophia, her face briefly showing displeasure.

Darcy made his rounds, offering toasts to everyone. Zoey, Romeo, and the others had their drinks, but when it came to Crystal and Sophia, Crystal couldn't even stand up straight from the couch.

"To the two beautiful ladies, hope you come hang out more often!" Darcy said with a worldly smile that carried a hint of sleaze, his eyes scanning over Sophia and the drunken Crystal.

Sophia disliked his greasy gaze and replied coolly, "Sorry, my friend's had too much to drink. We appreciate the sentiment!"

Darcy remained silent, but Miranda scoffed, "What, can't give us some face?"

Zoey tried to defuse the situation, "Miranda, can't you see Crystal's drunk?"

Miranda pouted, "Everyone knows Crystal can hold her liquor. I don't buy that she's drunk this easily!"

Crystal had been irked by Miranda

from the start, partly because Miranda and Romeo had been scheming to get her drunk. Now, propping herself up from the couch, she pointed at Miranda and yelled, "Who the hell do you think you are? I don't have to drink with you. I can't stand you, so what?" Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

Miranda's face turned sour instantly.

Darcy chuckled, "Ata, your friend's got quite the attitude. She really drunk?"

Miranda's face darkened, "Or maybe she's faking being drunk to cause a scene!"

"Do I need to fake anything with you?" Crystal retorted coldly.

Eileen came over and, together with Sophia, helped Crystal up, "Let's call it a night. Crystal really has had too much. Sophia and I will take her home." Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

As they started to leave, Darcy and Miranda exchanged glances. Miranda, then dramatically clutched her neek and cried out, "Darcy where's the necklace you bought me? It's gone!" Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

Darcy played along, "The one from GK Jewelry Studio? The classic piece?"

"Yes, that one! It's worth a fortune!" Miranda exclaimed anxiously.

Hilary also chimed in, pretending to be concerned, "We better start looking!" Miranda added, "I definitely had it when I came in. It must be in the lounge." Sophia glanced back without a word and continued to help Crystal out.

Just as they reached the door, Miranda shouted, "Nobody leaves this room until my necklace is found!"

Crystal turned around, furious, "For crying out loud, Miranda, are you sick in the head or was it a congenital brain defect that's only showing up now?" "What did you say?" Miranda stormed over, fuming.
