"Cheers!!" That night, after work, my colleagues and I gathered at a two-level bar. Due to the large number of people, we reserved a private room, and the atmosphere was relaxed and joyful. After a few drinks, I already felt a slight buzz, especially after a busy week, and my body was a bit tired.158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgew8NAVVh

Luckily, with so many people around, no one noticed when I quietly left the room. I found a spot on the outdoor terrace, where there was a long, comfortable-looking sofa. I lay down on sofa, drifting between wakefulness and sleep.158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCS8e0VA3j

As I was about to doze off, a familiar voice suddenly sounded. It was a male colleague from the next department, someone I only exchanged polite nods with.158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqI5W8QfwKD

I greeted him, and he sat down next to me, striking up a conversation. "This party is great!" he said. I laughed and replied, "Thanks!"158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzhFaM6UBQ

He leaned closer and suddenly whispered, "Can I kiss you?" This situation made me recall a moment from a month ago, when he had asked me the same question. I had told him I had a boyfriend, but he didn't care at all. He even suggested becoming my "secret lover." How did I respond back then?158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeYaDBOEKW

Thinking back to how I handled it, I still firmly gave the same answer, "No!" However, just as I rejected him, another female colleague suddenly lunged at me, laughing, and asked, "Then kiss me?" Before I could respond, she gently kissed my cheek and then promptly stood up, pulling the male colleague away with her. She turned back and winked at me.158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aTu5jEsE0

I realized then that she must have overheard our conversation and kindly helped me get rid of him. I silently thanked her as she walked away.158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABNDZS7Spt

At that moment, the bartender handed me a refreshing drink. The aroma of the drink was inviting, and it tasted like sparkling wine. I took a small sip, feeling instantly refreshed. The bartender pointed to the bottle and told me it was sherry.158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡga5JbkY9BE

I was a bit surprised because it didn’t taste like the usual sherry; instead, it felt more like a hangover cure, quickly clearing my mind.158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrcXdFF1w6

At that point, the bartender started mixing another strong drink and asked with a smile if I wanted another. I watched the swirling liquid in my glass, hesitated for a moment, then decided to have another. "To a wonderful night!"
