Chapter 2168 Only the Best Gets to Choose

Meanwhile, Aurora seemed unwell due to the amount of alcohol she had consumed. A few moments later, she rose

from the couch and made her way to the bathroom. "Give me a moment. I need to puke."

"How much did you drink? You don't look like you had as much as you did previously, but why do you seem so drunk

today?" Cindy was surprised.

Aurora went to the washroom and tried to make herself throw up, but only tears and mucus came out of her eyes

and nostrils. She then washed her face and propped her body with her hands on the edge of the basin, feeling

slightly more refreshed. "They mixed a few shots in my drink along with something foreign. Ah! It tasted like sh*t

when I guzzled it down my throat!"

Cindy raised her eyebrows. "I thought you were just having an ordinary dinner with those people. Why were you

guys even drinking in the first place?"

Aurora smiled helplessly. "Those people don't care about how I feel either. In fact, they don't give a damn about

anyone else. No matter what I said to turn them down, they only cared about making themselves happy."

Well, when you don't have power, that's probably what you're going to have to endure. Cindy was starting to have

an idea about what Aurora was going through, although she didn’t really understand her situation.

After vomiting, Aurora felt a lot better and returned to the couch. She sat down and got some rest. Soon, Cindy

came to her with a glass of water, pondering for a few seconds before she asked, "Would you like me to make you

a little something to eat? Did you eat anything earlier tonight?"

Aurora rested her head on the couch and answered weakly, "No, I didn't. All I did was drink. If I had eaten, I

wouldn't have been able to drink at all, which would have gotten me in a lot of trouble."

Cindy then walked into the kitchen upon hearing Aurora's words. "Do you want some chowder or pasta?"

Despite her lack of appetite, Aurora was feeling uncomfortable in her stomach, especially after vomiting.

Therefore, she was forced to pick a choice. "Chowder."

Cindy responded with an affirmative hum and went on to make Aurora some chowder as she wished. Upon getting

everything ready, she stepped out of the kitchen and asked, "Would you like to take a shower or something? You

don't seem very comfortable."

Yeah, she's right. I don't feel comfortable after vomiting. Also, I'm all sweaty now. Aurora hummed in response and

made her way to the bathroom once again. At the same time, she said, "Ian wants to leave the entertainment

industry, and guess what? I think he's right. This industry is not meant for anyone."

On the other hand, Cindy busied herself in the kitchen and cooked some extra dishes, thinking it was a little too

plain to just have chowder for dinner. Not long after she was done cooking, Aurora exited the washroom upon

showering, seemingly a lot more refreshed than she previously was.

Cindy sat on the couch and watched Aurora. Somehow, she fell into her thoughts and wondered if Ian had ever

found himself in a situation like his mother. After all, men tended to find themselves in a position where drinking

was inevitable more than women did, and they were also expected not to find excuses to avoid it.

At the thought of that, Cindy felt a stab of pain in her heart and recalled the words that Aurora had said earlier. I'm

glad that Ian is going to retire from the entertainment industry soon. He may be making easy money now, but he's

doing that at the cost of his health.

In the entertainment industry, only the most well-known celebrities could choose whether they wanted to go along

with the rich. Otherwise, they would have to abandon their pride and please the big shots whenever they were

supposed to. Because of that, Cindy didn't think Ian had to swallow his pride just to make someone else happy since

both of them had enough money to live a decent life.

On the other hand, Aurora came closer to the couch and sank into the cushion for some rest. When the food was

ready, Cindy headed into the kitchen and filled two empty bowls with some hot chowder, then the two sat down at

the dining table. In the meantime, Aurora didn't feel like eating, but due to her gastric condition, she forced herself

to pick at the food since she was worried it would lead to more health issues.

While the two ladies were eating, Aurora asked Cindy whether everything was okay at work, to which the latter

gave an affirmative reply. Then, Aurora looked up and gazed at Cindy, asking, "In that case, why didn't you eat

when you came back earlier tonight? You seemed tired and unmotivated, so I thought you were troubled by

something pressing at work.
