Sunset Sinking Into the Sea

The awkward atmosphere lasted until Theo came in with Amber in his arms.

“Theo, you guys are finally back. Amber is finally back. Shouldn’t we have a drink?”

Theo’s friend, Johnny, held up the glass in his hand and looked at him teasingly.

Theo took the glass and was about to drink it, but Amber looked at me with the glass.

“Zea, I heard that today is your birthday. I toast you and wish you a happy birthday.”

Zea glanced at the amber wine in Amber’s glass and frowned slightly.

She had stomach problems since she was a child and couldn’t drink alcohol.

Seeing that Zea was slow to take Amber’s glass, Amber even pushed the glass forward.

Zea gently pushed Amber’s glass away.

“I can’t…”

Before she finished speaking, the glass in Amber’s hand slid down Zea’s hand and fell to the ground.

The glass shattered all over the floor.

“Ah!”

Theo walked over with a faint anger on his face.

“It’s fine if you don’t drink Amber’s toast, but why do you smash the cup in public? Zea, is this what you call upbringing?”

Zea was stunned when she looked at Theo. He knew that his parents had died long ago, but he still mentioned the word upbringing.

“Theo, don’t blame Zea. Maybe I didn’t hold it firmly, so I smashed the cup. It’s all my fault.”

Amber pretended to be considerate and stepped forward to hold Theo’s hand, which was pointing at Zea angrily.

Zea looked at Amber’s look and found it ridiculous.

She deliberately scratched her hand to attract attention when they first met and now she broke the wine glass, making Zea look like a sarcastic person.

Theo looked at Zea, then raised a glass of wine with a sullen face and handed it to Zea.

“Zea, toast Amber a glass of wine and apologize to her and today’s matter will be over.”

Zea looked at the glass of wine in front of her and her eyes turned cold.

In the past, Theo dared not let Zea touch a drop of wine and even when cooking, he did not allow anyone to put wine in it.

And now, for his childhood sweetheart, he actually wanted to let her drink a full glass of strong liquor.

“What if I don’t drink it?” Zea said coldly.

Hearing Zea’s refusal, Theo’s face became even more embarrassed.

“If you don’t drink this glass of wine today and don’t apologize to Amber, then your cooperation with the Guzman Family will end here.”

Theo’s voice was not very heavy, but it hit Zea’s heart directly.

For Amber, he actually wanted to break the contract he had just signed with Guzman Group.

Although she was the adopted daughter of the Guzman Family, Zea never thought of relying on the Guzman Family.

Since graduation, she has entered a jewelry company as a designer.

This time, in order to win the joint jewelry customization for the 50th anniversary celebration of the Guzman Group, their company specially asked Zea to connect with the Guzman Family.

Zea understood how important this cooperation was to her company.

Zea looked at the wine in Theo’s hand, took it and said softly, “I’ll drink it.”

Zea picked up the wine in the glass and drank it all in one gulp. The hot wine slid down her throat, burning her stomach, making her want to vomit.

Zea tried to go to the bathroom despite the discomfort in her stomach, but Theo grabbed her hand.

“You haven’t apologized yet.”

Zea clenched her fists tightly, fearing that tears would fall in the next second.
