บท 71: Dead Drunk
Inside the dimly lit room, Wan Lin stood still as she held Quince tight. Her face was hidden against his chest so Quince couldn't see her expression.
"Miss Wan Lin?" Quince called out hesitantly. He wasn't sure what was going on. Normally, he would be concerned if he saw someone behaving this way, but since that someone was his fiancée, the person that pranked him not so long ago, he had his guard up.
'Is this a ploy on her part? Is she playing drunk?' Quince wondered but not for long as the little lady suddenly raised her face up and stared at him.
"Damn it Quince!" Anger burned in her eyes as she stared up at him.
"Miss Wan..Lin?" Quince asked, perplexed as he stared back at her.
"Why didn't you punch that bastard?!" She asked with an unhappy pout on her face, looking greatly wronged.
Quince was stunned when he saw those accusing eyes behind her glasses. Her face was completely red and it didn't seem like she was pretending. She was definitely drunk! Drunk and angry!
But Quince wouldn't believe her that easily. He learned his lesson after all. Yet, her actions looked too genuine so he decided to test her.
"Which bastard are you referring to Miss Wan Lin?" He asked.
"That Mr.Anton...Antoni...that bastard Ant man!" Queen finally yelled when she couldn't seem to pronounce that bastard's name.
"Ant man?" Quince choked as soon as he heard her referring to his new business partner as Ant man.
"He is definit....definitely an ant man! I mean what sort of bastard would stare so much! He definitely has the vision of an ant! He can't see well so he had to keep staring!" Queen explained the name to him immediately, looking frustrated as ever.
"If that's the reason why he kept staring, then shouldn't you forgive him?" Quince asked carefully,waiting patiently for her to answer.
"No!!!! I'm the freaking prime minister of the Rhitol kingdom! Staring at me is like insulting the king! Though that man is a bastard too!" Queen shook her head and raised her fist up before yelling out loud.
'Alright, dead drunk.' Quince concluded now that he heard the nonsense she was spouting. He immediately felt a headache coming on as he looked at her. A normal Queen was already hard to deal with, a drunk one would definitely not be easy.
"Alright, alright, I will definitely get back at him for you. What do you suggest I do?" Quince asked in a gentle tone, trying his best to placate her.
"Ha! I don't need you to fight my battle! I will protect us from that crazy Panty man!" Queen said as determination flashed in her eyes.
Quince choked once more now that the name changed into something much worse, though Quince definitely thought that the bastard deserved it.
"And how do you propose we deal with him?" He asked, looking completely serious. He wanted to deal with Mr.Antonio and he knew Queen would definitely have a crazy idea to prank him.
"We do it! We stare right back at him!" Queen started laughing happily after she announced her revenge plan.
Quince was stunned at her unexpected words and couldn't stop himself as he broke into a smile, his dimples clearly visible. He amusedly chuckled at her exclamation before agreeing,"Alright. Let's do that."
"Yes!" Saying that, she immediately pushed Quince away before turning around.
Quince was startled when she pushed him, confusion coloring his eyes as he saw her stomping over to the bathroom door.
"Bastard panty man!" Queen declared as she swung the bathroom door opened."Come out here! Right now!"
She yelled and marched inside the bathroom, looking like a soldier ready for battle. Quince worriedly followed after her only to see that she had turned the shower on.
She stood on the side and stared at the water running, seemingly lost in a daze.
"Miss Wan Lin! What are you doing?" Quince knitted his brows together as he walked over to stand beside her.
"Wan Lin who?" She asked as she gazed at him.
'Great, she can't remember that she's supposed to be in disguise now.' He thought before letting out a helpless sigh.
"Miss Vancroft..." Quince said but before he could utter another word, Queen immediately gripped his face hard with both her hands.
"You look familiar...." She said as she looked at him. 'Why does this fellow look so familiar?' Queen squinted her eyes and tilted her head trying to get a closer look at the person in front of her.
"Not surprising, considering the fact that I'm your Boss now." Quince said sarcastically,with a layer of frost in his eyes, hoping to jolt some senses back into her. It wasn't as effective as he wish since his face was being squished by her, ruthlessly ruining the mood he was trying to portray.
"Boss?" Queen looked lost as she slurred the word out. "But I'm the boss!"
"You just signed the contract this morning. You are now employed by the De Roi Group. Remember?" Quince asked as he pulled her hands off his face and held it at her waist level.
"I'm employed?" Queen looked even more confused by the news.
"Yes." Quince nodded, "Now Miss Vancroft, I suggest we get out of this bathroom so we could get you home. My driver..." Quince trailed off as soon as Queen tore herself away from him.
"Hot" She murmured and walked straight under the shower. However, the next moment she immediately jumped and started whimpering loudly.
"Cold!!!!" Queen shivered and shook her face, hoping to shake the cold away, causing her spectacles to fall off her face.
"Miss Vancroft!" Quince immediately tried to pull her away from the shower. But Queen suddenly yelped, startling Quince.
"My eyes! My eyes!" Queen yelled and rubbed both her eyes. Without the spectacles offering her protection, the water went inside her eyes. She immediately felt uncomfortable and tried to rubbed them.
"Don't! The contacts..." Quince tried to stop her but both the contact lenses already came out of her eyes.
"Wahhh! it hurts Quince." She wailed as her eyes reddened due to her previous action.
Quince turned off the shower and gently pulled her out from beneath it. He swiped the lenses off her cheeks before sighing helplessly.
"It's alright. It's just red because you rubbed them too hard." Quince said as he gazed into her eyes.
"It's cold." Queen jutted her lips out and complained pitifully. "My head feels heavy."
"I'm assuming you have a wig on your head, so it's not surprising that you feel that way." He sighed once more. "Wait here, I'll go get you a towel."
He then spun around to go get her a towel. He only walked three steps away but the sudden 'kwash' sound that came from behind him froze him in his tracks. It sounded suspiciously like...
"Miss Vancroft. What did you just do?" He gritted his teeth and clenched his hands as he asked her.
"Ohhhh that...." 'kwash' "I'm cold and you said it's because of something on my head." She replied.
"Yes, the wig on your head." Quince replied stiffly.
"Aha, but I couldn't take the wig out and I realized the problem is actually because of something else!" Queen sounded excited as another 'kwash' followed.
"What.would.that.be?" Quince asked, enunciating each word and desperately praying that the answer wouldn't be what he thought it was.
"My clothes of course!" Queen replied with another 'kwash' and Quince's hopes immediately shattered.

บท 72: Never again
"Miss Vancroft..." By now Quince had clenched and unclenched his fists at least 10 times.
"You know what? It still feels heavy! I should probably take my undergarments off too." Queen's voice came from behind, sounding thoughtful.
'Take ou....out more?! Under what?! Over my dead body!' Thinking that Quince immediately shouted,"No! It's not because of that!"
"Hmmmm...."the drunk girl behind hummed in reply,"Then what could it be? Do you know why?And why aren't you looking at me?" She sounded confused at the end of her sentence.
"It's your wig." Quince gritted his teeth before replying.
"Aha..."Queen nodded distractedly behind him, not that he could see her with his back facing her. "You did say that before...but it doesn't feel like it."
"It is! I promise you. Now if you would behave for one minute, I would go out to grab a towel for you. Then you can put on the bathrobe and I will help you take off the wig." Quince took a deep breath as he tried to coax her.
"Really....?" Queen sounded unsure. After all how could a simple wig be so heavy?
Thinking back on how she had to carry swords to fight war long ago, she concluded that those were definitely heavier! The armor was heavy too and it bounded her body tightly, so she linked the two in her mind and thought about taking off her clothes.
But the light breezy feeling she expected to get was nowhere to be found. On the contrary, she was feeling colder and heavier with each passing moment.
Quince waited for her answer with his heart beating wildly as if waiting to sign a billion dollar business contract.
Finally Queen decided to trust her cat and gave her consent.
"Alright then but..."
Quince didn't wait to listen to her as he immediately dashed out of the bathroom, grabbing the towel and bath robe before rushing right back.
He had his eyes half closed as he walked back towards her. He focused only on her face. 'I can't see anything else, no I can't see her long legs, no I can't see the full roun...I can't see a thing!'
Let's just say Quince had one of the most difficult 30 seconds of his life.
He reached her and wrapped the big towel around her body fully covering her. He then open his eyes and looked at her.
She looked really tired and ready to collapse at any moment. He held onto her shoulders and walked her slowly towards the bathroom door.
Just as they were standing by the door, Queen suddenly stopped walking.
"What's wrong?" Quince turned back to look at her as he was standing slightly in front.
"I want to take a bath." Queen voiced out droopily.
"You're too drunk to..." Quince started protesting but before he could say anything more, the lady behind him unexpectedly raised her leg and gave him a firm kick on his behind.
Surprised by the sudden attack, Quince was successfully kicked out by her. He was shocked by her action but turned as soon as he got a hold of himself. Though he immediately spun back, it was too late as all he could see was the bathroom door slamming shut in his face.
He immediately knocked the door continuously and called her. "Miss Vancroft! Miss Vancroft! Come out of the bathroom!"
"Shut up! So noisy!" A sound from inside the bathroom replied and in the next moment Quince heard the shower turning on once more.
Quince rubbed his face and groaned frustratedly. He glared at the door and thought angrily,'If she doesn't come out in 10 minutes, I'm going to destroy the damn door.'
He kept pacing back and forth in front of the door, counting the minutes in his mind. Just as he reached 5 minutes, he got a text from his driver informing him that he was now standing in front of the hotel room.
Quince cursed in his heart as he completely forgot about it. He walked briskly to the door before swinging it open.
"What is it Mr.Yu?" Quince asked.
"Here are your clothes Master Quince." The driver replied respectfully.
The truth was, Quince already anticipated that Mr.Antonio would ask him to stay the night. After all, in their previous dealings, he had always done so and Quince had always refused.
This time, due to the direct order given by the head of the group, he had no choice but to accept it. So he prepared his clothes in advance and asked the driver to bring it up to him at a specific time.
The thing he didn't anticipate was the drunk girl in the bathroom. He couldn't let the driver know that she was here or else if it were to get back to his family, even if he explained the situation, there would be a price to pay.
Not to mention the fact that she was in disguise right now and he couldn't risk exposing her to others. Not until he knew her motive.
So when the driver opened his mouth to ask about Wan Lin, Quince's newest Secretary, Quince only told his driver that she had already left.
Usually Quince didn't lie as he never felt the need to do so. He had enough power to say the truth and not pay the consequences for them. Or even if he had to, he was prepared for them.
The driver looked confused but he believed Quince and drove the car home.
Quince was now in front of the bathroom once more. He was getting impatient as each second pass and Queen wasn't out yet.
'Last 40 seconds.' Quince muttered to himself, ready to plow the door down.
Luckily, he didn't have to destroy the hotel's property as within the next moment, the bathroom door swung open.
Queen stood in front of Quince, wrapped in the oversized towel and wig still firmly attached to her head.
Her face wasn't as red as before but she still looked pretty tipsy. Unbeknownst to Quince, this is actually one of Queen's top weaknesses.
Queen is terrible at drinking alcohol and would get drunk easily. During the first 40 minutes, no matter how much she drinks, she would look fine. But after that she would look as red as a tomato, instantly transforming her from sober to drunk.
Quince wasn't sure about her level of soberness so he decided to test her.
"Who are you?" He asked.
"The Queen! Do you have a problem with me?!" She replied instantly.
'Uh-huh, she's acting like a delinquent now too.' Quince massaged his brows slightly at the thought.
"Do you know who I am?" Quince asked.
"Hell, if you don't know who are, how do you expect me to...." Queen only said that before she trailed off as she squinted her eyes and looked closer at him.
"Oh hey....aren't you that guy who makes ramen on tv?!" She then broke out into a wide smile and walked closer to him. "What are you doing here?"
'This is going to be a long night.' Quince sighed to himself and made a vow to never let her touch alcohol again!
