Chapter 220 Mexican Standoff

Pedrarruna Manor, Elffire City.

Theo and Aurora had already finished their morning workout, and after taking a shower, they were in the kitchen.

Theo was cooking breakfast and lunch for Aurora to take to school.

And Aurora was dressed in her school uniform as she helped him cook.

The two siblings were cooking while talking about their days.

It was just another normal day for the two occupants of the enormous house.

But even though it seemed like a normal day, a sound coming from the stairs proved that something was different that morning.

To understand what was that sound, we have to go back to the night before.

Last night, Elffire City saw its first snowstorm of the autumn.

And in the same night, Theo and his friends enjoyed a lovely dinner at his house.

After they finished dinner, their bellies were warm and they just wanted to drink and enjoy the night.

And that was what they did.

Everyone got drunk, even Aurora got a little tipsy after drinking a glass of wine.

And when it was time to go home arrived, the people who came by riding a taxi, just called a car and went back to their houses.

But 5 girls came in cars who were too drunk to drive.

Especially on the slippery roads recently covered by snow.

Sam, June, and Sayuri who came together did not even remember that one of them should not drink so they could drive home.

And the result was that the three of them got drunk and had no conditions to drive.

Ayia was so drunk that she started singing in the middle of conversations.

Even Shizuka drank too much and became more talkative than usual as she started talking without stopping.

Consequently, it was obvious that Theo did not allow these girls to drive.

He made use of the 4 guest rooms on the second floor.

Ayia and Shizuka shared a room, and the other three each got a room.

They protested a little arguing that they could still drive, but after seeing their unsteady steps, Theo asked Aurora's help to convince the girls.

It was only after Aurora talked to them for a long while that the girls accepted.

Theo did not even have to worry if the rooms were ready to receive the girls, he knew that Sylph had already taken care of that.

So, that night, Ayia, Shizuka, Sayuri, June, and Sam slept in Theo's house.

And what a comfortable night they had.

The beds were fluffy and comfy.

And the warm temperature of the rooms made it the perfect place for their drunk bodies to sleep.

6:50 AM.

Sam felt very comfortable as she lay on the bed.

But suddenly her head was assaulted by a splitting headache.

It seemed as though a hammer was hitting her head repeatedly.

She felt a mix of feelings.

Her body felt the comfiness of the bed, and her head felt the effects of last night's ingested alcohol.

"Aaargh! I should not have drunk so much." Sam said with a hoarse voice.

'I will never drink again.' She thought the same thing that everyone thought in a hungover.

Sam blinked her eyes and looked at the room where she was.

Last night's happenings were still hazy, but she remembered Aurora's convincing words for them to sleep in the guest rooms.

"It seems I am in Theo's house." She said when she finally was able to think straight.

The room where she was had a warm light coming from the side which made it possible for her to see the surroundings.

Theo knew that his and Aurora's preference to sleep in absolute darkness would not be well accepted by hungover girls.

So, he asked Sylph to keep the sidelight on for the girls to see the room.

"This bed is so comfy!" She exclaimed with a satisfied sigh as she snuggled the bed.

But even though Sam wanted to sleep more, she knew that she had to get up.

She picked up her phone and looked at the time.

"Hmm, it is almost the time to go to the office." Sam sighed in defeat as she sat on the bed.

That day was the day that the payment would be deposited in their employees' bank accounts, and she needed to oversee that to make sure everything went without problems.

Sam stood up from the bed and walked to the door of what seemed to be the bathroom.

She entered and she was greeted by a spacious beautiful bathroom.

"This bathroom is better than the one in my apartment." She said in wonder.

After getting the job as the Head Manager of the Umbrella Corporation, Sam was receiving a salary so high that she didn't know how to spend so much money.

So, one of the first things she did was to buy an apartment for herself.

She loved her new apartment.

But it could not be compared with the level of Theo's house.

Everything was prepared for her.

New toothbrush for her to brush her teeth and fresh clean towels if she wanted to take a shower.

Sam moved to the front of the mirror and saw herself in the reflection.

Her makeup was messed up and she clearly showed signs of a hungover.

"I better take a shower before I leave. I will have to go directly to the office when I leave." Sam pondered as she picked up the toothbrush.

A while later, Sam got out of the bathroom after taking a hot shower and priming herself.

She was ready for the new day.

The only downside was that she would have to use last night's clothes.

But she would have to make do with that.

Sam picked up her purse from the nightstand beside the bed and walked out of the bedroom.

At first, Sam was a little lost as she looked at the corridor.

She did not know where to go.

But it was at that moment that the door opposite her opened.

Sayuri got out of her room after also taking a shower.

The two women looked at each other and smiled immediately.

"Hungover?" Sayuri asked.

"So much." Sam replied.

They started laughing.

Both of them understood the situation and they could not help but find it funny.

"Thank god Theo had everything prepared for us. I don't know if would be able to get to work in time if not." Sam commented.

"You tell me! The bed was so comfy and if it was not because of my splitting headache I would have slept throughout the whole day!" Sayuri giggled.

The two girls were chatting happily as another door opened next to them.

June got out of her room after also taking a shower.

Even though she did not have to work that morning and only later that night, she still wanted to wash the alcohol out of her.

Sayuri, Sam, and June at that moment had the famous Mexican Standoff.

Three pairs of eyes looked at each other until they could not hold anymore and started laughing.

"I can't believe to choose a designated driver before we started drinking." June giggled.

"I know!" Sayuri exclaimed.

"Oh my god! How irresponsible are we? We even wanted to drive after getting so drunk!" Sam said as she laughed.

It was common when a group of friends got out to drink to choose one person who would not drink and drive everyone back.

But the three girls totally forgot about it and drank without holding back.

The girls were talking excitedly about the night before when they heard the sound of another door opening.

Who was it?
