Meg raised her glass and exclaimed, “Thank you everyone for your help, especially Mr. Frankton, for bailing me out twice today. Now let’s spare ourselves from talking, and drink up!”

With that, Meg chugged her glass, leaving Frank a little shocked. “Are you going to be fine? You drank a lot earlier in the afternoon.”

Meg smiled. “Someone who works in this business must be able to hold their liquor. Either way, cheers-are you and your ladies going to join me?”

“Yes,” Frank said, raising his glass.

Seeing Frank drinking right then, Ida chugged her glass too, since she was not getting away.

While she could be openly upsetting, she had yet to drink so much before and a spirit at that she was left sticking her tongue out from the burning taste.

“Manners!” Sadie rolled her eyes at Ida.
