บท 363: Taken by cops

[ Drink and Dine Bar]

Gabriel glanced at the man in front of him with his bloodshot eyes. He had been drowning himself in the pool of alcohol that he forgot the count of drinks he consumed.

"I told you to leave Max" he slurred and brought the glass in his hand closer to his lips and took a sip from the drink.

Max couldn't handle the sight of his boss being all vulnerable and helpless. He knew Gabriel would only allow himself to drink to this extent when he isn't able to handle emotional baggage.

"I can't let you hurt yourself, boss. You have already had enough" Max kept his tone gentle and took a step to help Gabriel stand.

As if Gabriel had lost the strength to argue with anyone, he gulped the entire drink and let Max help him stand and they both walked out of the bar.
