Chapter 8 I Am No Good at Drinking

Nearly thirty students walked into a luxurious big box room equipped with all kinds of entertainment facilities.

Josh Miller did not join them for some reason.

"Miss Thompson, these are all specially prepared to welcome you as our new guidance counselor!" In the room, Laura Scott put on a smile and asked her classmates to put the prepared stuff on the table.

Then, glasses were placed upon the table and almost filled it, which looked quite spectacular.

Sophie widened her eyes slightly and asked curiously, "What are these for?"

"Miss Thompson, this is a tradition of our class. Each of us is going to propose a toast to you, and you cannot refuse us." Laura's scheming smile was unconcealable.

In the echoing of the students, some of them opened the beers and filled all the glass. Sophie glanced at the table roughly, and there were about a hundred glasses on it. Obviously, the class did not just want to toast.

She thought, "Do they want to fuddle me?"

"Oh, okay, here is your tradition," Sophie said meaningfully.

"Miss Thompson, are you good at drinking? Shall I help you?" A boy with an evil smile stepped forward and joked, "However, if I drink for you, we won't respect you as a teacher in the future."

"Right, right, this is our wine-table culture, our tradition." The surrounding students added.

"My capacity for liquor..."

Sophie Nelson's voice was low, her tone hesitant. It sounded that she was in a dilemma.

The students' expectant eyes lit up as they persuaded, "No worries, each of us will propose only one toast to you. They are low-alcohol beers, and you won't get drunk."

Sophie adjusted the frame of her glasses while looking up. Her thick bangs covered half of her face, and the exposed part of her skin was sallow.

It was indeed an ordinary face that no one would want to have a second glance at it after the first one.

No one noticed that the expression on that face was smiling but cold.

"I'm not afraid of getting drunk, but I have some other things to deal with tonight, so I can't stay here for too long."

Sophie took a glass of beer and gave it to Laura. "I have a suggestion."

"To make it quick, why don't you toast to me together and I will drink this? And we will call it a day right after clinking and drinking up."

While voicing her idea, the woman turned to take a bottle of whiskey and removed its lid smartly.

Then, she used the bottle to clink the glasses in the students' hands, while Laura and the other students were stunned speechless.

The students wondered, "What is this woman trying to do? Can she be so careless about her safety to gain our respect?"

At this time, Sophie had already started to drink the entire bottle of spirit.

That was a bottle of whiskey!

She literally drained it!

"Why aren't you drinking?" Sophie calmly put down the empty bottle and looked at the students with a relaxed expression.

"Well, we will... We are drinking."

Then, the students all raised the glasses of beer up. Their expressions were unnatural while looking at the new guidance counselor in confusion.

While drinking, they thought, "Damn! Is she trying to make a joke of herself or us?"

Sophie curled up her lips with satisfaction and shot a glance at this bunch of students. When she was overseas, she socialized together with Money Disciple on various occasions and had never gotten herself drunk.

"Miss Thompson, that is very impressive. I admire you, sincerely. Please allow me to propose another toast to you."

Sophie was about to leave when Laura stood in her way with another glass of alcohol in her hand.

The girl was blinking her big eyes and wearing an expression of admiration as if Sophie had really earned respect from her.

Sophie lowered her eyes to look at the glass, took it, and said, "Thanks, Laura. I hope you will study hard in the future."

With that, she once again finished the drink. "It's getting late. I have to go. Take care you guys and leave as early as possible."

Sophie then walked out of the box room, and the students stared at her departing back still in confusion.

A boy walked up to Laura, whispering, "Laura, have you just ..."

"Shush. Just wait and see." Laura revealed an evil smile at the leaving woman.
