Chapter 174
My face darkened; I pushed away Giana’s hand and turned to sit on the lab bench. “I won’t go.”
“You were in a bad mood; go and have some fun!”
“I was in a bad mood and had many ways to vent. Why did I have to go to a dangerous place, drink those strong liquors that none of us would drink, and endure the noise and chaos? What’s the point?”
Giana stood up, let out a long sigh, and lamented with a sense of helplessness.“Katrina, oh! Your obedient and well–behaved girl image; it can never be broken!”

At this moment, Professor Smith, who was older, walked in and said, “Giana, Katrina, do you have anything to do after work?”
“No problem,” Giana replied.
“I was fine too,” I politely responded.
Professor Smith smiled and said, “I’m a lonely old man, and tonight happens to be my birthday. How about all colleagues go out and have a gathering together?”
Giana and I were surprised and felt guilty that we hadn’t paid attention to these things. We quickly nodded politely and said, “Qkay, Professor Smith.”
“Happy birthday to you; we will definitely go.”
“Don’t give me any gifts!” Professor Smith said with a smile, and leisurely walked away with his hands behind his back.
Giana and I exchanged a glance, confused! Was this gift a reminder to give or was it really not necessary to give? The gift was bought before getting off work.
But what we didn’t expect was that the gathering place turned out to be a lively and bustling bar, with bright lights and and a festive atmosphere. All of them, including the salespeople and the finance team, were from our company. We opened a private room, sang a birthday song, and everyone gave gifts. We drank and played small games, the atmosphere was very lively. Under the guidance of Professor Smith, the atmosphere in our private room was quite lively and healthy, full of vitality. However, it was inevitable to have a few more drinks. At the end, overwhelmed by alcohol, I was completely unconscious from being drunk.
