Have I Told You Lately

Chapter 122 A Different Miles

“Yeah, there are still some things left to settle. I’ll go home later.”

He was probably going to be done only in the small hours. As they were neither friends nor lovers, it

was not suitable for her to show her concern. After a few seconds of silence, she said with courtesy,

“Then, go back and rest earlier. I’ll hang up now.”

“…Okay.” The man on the other side of the phone replied lightly, but a hint of reluctance could be heard

in his voice. He seemed to be dissatisfied with her answer.

After Rachel hung up, only then did she remember about the house she rented. She wanted to call him

and ask again, but upon remembering that he was busy, she stopped herself from doing so.

Forget it. She would just ask him the next time around.

When Rachel returned to the private room, the sight of her friends who were now drunk, staggering and

laughing in the room greeted her. Some were still sober, but their faces flushed with redness as their

heads spin in circles. They were lying on the couch, resting.

“How much did you guys drink?” Rachel poked a girl and asked in surprise.

The girl hugged her waist and displayed a silly smile. With a pair of half-opened eyes, she whined,

“Hehe…Rachel…you…come and…drink too…”

“…”

The corner of Rachel’s mouth twitched as she turned to look at Miles, “I think you should cancel the

reservation for the karaoke room.”

It was good enough that they didn’t puke after drinking so much. How was it possible for them to sing in

this state?

“Yeah sure. I didn’t expect them to drink so much while I wasn’t paying attention.” Miles held his

forehead, slightly dumbfounded. He drank quite a lot too, so his face was red as well.

Rachel was probably the only one who did not drink a sip of alcohol here.

“You go ahead and cancel the reservation. I’ll wake them up so we can leave later.”

“Sure.”

After Miles left, Rachel shook each of them and tried to wake them up one by one. Fortunately, there

were some who weren’t drunk but had only fallen asleep. Otherwise, she did not know how she could

get them home tonight.

Rachel drove her car and sent a few of her drunk friends back. Then, she asked Miles, who was sitting

next to her, “Where do you live? I’ll send you home.”

In a daze, Miles stared right ahead of him quietly. He seemed to be deep in thoughts.

Rachel frowned slightly as she turned to look at him. In that instant, his dark eyes, which were almost Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

hidden in the night caused a strange feeling to arise in her heart.

He looked different from the boy next door she knew. It seemed that he was troubled by something.

“Miles?” Rachel suppressed the emotions in her heart and called his name again.

“Huh? Rachel, you were talking to me?” He looked like he was suddenly awoken and his expression

from earlier had disappeared without a trace as if it was all just her illusion.

Was it really though?

A horrifying thought popped up in her mind. It was as if she was looking at Miles’ true self earlier, but

who was this cheerful boy in front of her now?

Miles gave her a big smile. In the night, his eyes seemed to be extra bright, “Uh, I’ll point the direction

for you. There is a junction right ahead. Just drop me there.”

Rachel went into a daze upon staring at his smile. Then she looked to the front again, “Sure.”

A whiff of alcohol and silence filled the car that was moving steadily on the road.

Rachel was bothered by the strange feeling she had earlier and couldn’t help herself but look at Miles

through the rear-view mirror. She pretended to ask casually, “Are you drunk?”

Perhaps Miles had drunk too much. When someone was drunk, they would surely differ from their

usual selves.
