Chapter 647 Sweet Extra - Couple Variety Show 132
"Don't worry, I just asked them to bring over two more cases from the supermarket. It's a special occasion, so drink up! But just so you know, I'm sticking to my bottled water," Jessica said with a smile, raising her two bottles of water.
"Mrs. Harriman, you're too generous!" Brent laughed, giving Melissa a look to let him drink without interference. "We're celebrating tonight, a few extra drinks won't hurt. I promise I'll be up at the crack of dawn tomorrow. I bet everyone here can hold their liquor!"
"Especially Mr. Harriman!" Brent turned to Gabriel. "Jessica isn't drinking, so Mr. Harriman, you should have a few more to keep us company!"
"Let's not push it. Mr. Harriman just made us crab. Even though we don't have much seafood tonight, we can still enjoy some beer. But let's give Mr. Harriman a break," Maurice said with a smile.
Clayton had already opened a few bottles and glanced at Gabriel, silently asking if he wanted one.
They could encourage each other to drink, but with Gabriel, they had to be cautious. If Gabriel didn't drink, they'd have to finish the opened bottles themselves, and that could be a stomach-busting task.
Kevin, without a word, suddenly grabbed the bottle from Clayton's hand, opened it, and placed it in front of Gabriel. "Mr. Harriman, here."
Gabriel raised an eyebrow and looked at him. Kevin picked up another bottle. "I'll start."
With that, Kevin, usually the quietest and least attention-seeking, downed a bottle first.
"Mr. Martinez, impressive!"
"Impressive, impressive! Kevin, you usually keep to yourself, but tonight you're challenging Mr. Harriman?"
Kevin didn't respond. No matter what others thought or joked about, he just smiled and looked at Gabriel.
Jessica knew Kevin's determination wasn't aimed at her or Gabriel, so she didn't say much and gave Amy a look.
Amy was caught off guard, unsure whether to tell Kevin or Gabriel to drink less. She felt she had no right to intervene, but seeing Jessica's look, as if there was something between her and Kevin, she was even more confused, not understanding the situation.
"Mr. Harriman, are you in?" Clayton and Brent asked, arms around each other, seeing Gabriel's hand on the bottle.
Gabriel smiled, picked up the bottle, and said in a deep voice, "I've had my fair share of drinking at events over the years, but it's rare to drink straight from the bottle. Why not?"
With that, Gabriel drank without hesitation. Even in this casual, youthful drinking style, the way Gabriel tilted his head and the curve of his jaw and neck made Jessica envy the times she could kiss and nibble him freely in their bedroom.
But now, they were filming a show. Even a little kiss or hug was enough; she couldn't dare to do anything more.
Gabriel gave Kevin face, and the other guests, both men and women, cheered happily. Kevin smiled, finished his bottle, and then turned to the other male guests. "Shall we have a drink?"
"Let's go, let's go! Who's afraid? We said it, no one leaves until we're drunk!"
Gabriel also smiled, put down his empty bottle, and was about to pick up another when he noticed Jessica sitting beside him, looking at him with admiration.
