Sullivan felt that Uncle Butler was a good man. He couldn’t let Reyes ruin his marriage.
It seemed like he had to matchmake Reyes and Toya as soon as possible.
He hung up and started to think hard.
Reyes was easy to find. If he told him someone wanted to race with him, he would definitely come out.
How was he going to find Toya?
Sullivan and Reyes were not from the same school, so he had limited information. He didn’t even know that Toya was the vice president of the student union.
It was extremely difficult to matchmake them.
After hiring the right maid, Reyes had less contact with Toya.
Although he was a little disappointed, he knew that this was good for everyone.
They still went to school together and went home together, but Reyes checked his class schedule carefully and went to his classes obediently.
He had to keep up the act. If Toya asked him someday, he would be able to answer her.
He would just stay with Toya until she and Butler got married. Then, he would not do these things anymore.
No one came to find trouble with Toya for the next two days. When she went to the Student Union in the afternoon, Reyes went elsewhere for a while and came home with her when she was done.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the student union’s gathering. When they ate in the morning, Toya told the butler that he didn’t have to cook tonight.
“Will Miss Toya be back tonight?”
Where could she go if she didn’t go back to the Wilson household? Toya didn’t hesitate. “Yes, but it might be later.”
“Tl arrange for a car to pick you up.”
Toya, not sure what time she would be back, thought about it. “Don’t bother. I can take a taxi myself.”
‘The butler didn’t force her. “When the time comes, if Miss Toya can’t get a taxi, you can call me anytime.”
Toya nodded.
In the car, Reyes thought about the news he had seen on the forum and felt uncomfortable.
He asked, “Can I participate in the gathering held by the Student Union?”
“Sure.” The more people there were, the better.
Reyes nodded and asked, “I heard that someone wants to confess at the scene? Is it someone from your student union?”
She thought of something and smiled. “They wanted to make it more mysterious, but everyone knows now.”
“That’s true.”
“Lead the forum. They’re all speculating that the girl about to be confessed to is you.”
“It’s just a ruse.” Toya touched her chin and didn’t hide it. “You should know the boy who wants to confess. He’s Richardson from the Marcus family, the president of the student union.”
There were only a few people in the aristocratic circle. Even if Reyes was not familiar with this name, he was familiar with the surmame.
“Who is the girl?”
Since it was a ruse, the girl was definitely not Toya.
Toya thought about it. She figured it wouldn’t matter even if she told Reyes. He didn’t know her. “It’s Kelly, the girl who called the other day to make sure I was safe.”
Reyes said nothing more, but he was still bothered.
Since the activity was labeled “sorority’, it was destined to be an activity to matchmake a man and woman. No matter what, he could not let go of the fact that Toya was participating in such an activity.
Even though he was worried, Reyes didn’t join in the fun in the end. He was called away by Sullivan.
After racing with the person Sullivan hired for the entire afternoon, they ate and drank afterwards.
It was just that the restaurant that Sullivan found this time was different from the usual ones. It was a little too refined for them, this group of hedonistic rich kids.
But even if the environment was refined, they did not look refined at all when they drank. Sullivan carried the whole box of wine to the private room, like he would not leave until he was drunk.
Perhaps because he had drunk too much, he felt a little hot. He went to the bathroom midway. When he returned, he saw a familiar figure in the corridor.
It was Toya.
She had her back to him and a man stopped her.
‘The man raised his glass and looked at the girl with a pair of drunken eyes.
The girl was not standing very steadily. The man tried to wrap his other hand around the girl’s waist.
Reyes’ expression turned cold, and he sobered up. He immediately walked over and pulled Toya behind him.
‘The man saw that the girl was being protected and that this person didn’t look like someone to be trifled with. He didn’t pursue the matter and left with the wine glass.
Reyes wanted to turn and see how Toya was, but Toya was clearly drunk. She leaned onto him while he was holding her.
‘Toya pressed her head against his back, which was slightly higher than her waist. However, he was too thin. It was uncomfortable for her, so she rubbed against his side, as if she wanted to burrow herself under his armpit.
Reyes stiffened and took her arm to make her stand.
He was facing her and he saw that her brownish-yellow long curly hair was in a mess. He could not help but reach out to straighten it for her.
‘Toya lowered her head and narrowed her eyes in a daze.
Reyes lifted her chin and called her name.
There was the faint smell of alcohol on her body. It was not heavy and she should not have drunk too much. Her face was flushed and she looked very dazed. When he called her name, she only looked at him in a daze. It was unknown if she recognized him.
She was drunk..
