Chapter 242 - Trickier Than He Thought (2/2)

Marissa scoffed and stormed into the apartment before the door closed. ”I need a drink,” she said as she followed Halia, Emerson, and Roy to the bar.

She then squeezed her way between Halia and Emerson and revealed a huge smile, ”One gin and tonic, please. That's your favorite, isn't it, Emerson?”

Halia looked at Emerson in surprise, ”You drink gin and tonic too? Here, pass me the bottle Roy, I make the best G&T's!”

Marissa furrowed her brows as Halia picked up a bottle of gin. Then, to her surprise, Halia spread out a line of glasses, tossed the bottle up, spun it around her wrist and started pouring drinks.

Marissa wasn't the only one that was surprised.

A small crowd quickly gathered around and cheered as Halia finished and put down the bottle

Emerson looked at Halia with amazement. ”I never knew you could do that!” he whispered beside her.

”There's a lot about me that you don't know,” the woman replied.

Unlike his brother, Emerson had no idea that Halia had once worked at a bar. In fact, even though he knew she was an SPU agent, in his eyes, she was still a sweet innocent woman that needed protecting. But, Halia was much more than that!

Danson picked up one of the glasses of gin and tonic and took a sip. ”Tastes good,” he complimented as he raised the glass. ”I'm sure Emerson would be pleased with this.”

Marissa immediately frowned and stepped on the man's foot. She was already annoyed; he didn't have to rub salt in her wounds.

Danson flinched in pain and accidentally bumped against Halia. But somehow, this caused the drink in her hand to tip all over her dress.

Danson quickly turned in surprise. ”I'm so sorry,” he said.

Halia lightly brushed her dress and said it was OK, she then excused herself and went to the bathroom.

Marissa immediately held back her smile. She didn't plan that accident, but it happened perfectly like someone in heaven was watching over her.

Meanwhile, Danson looked at Halia with confusion. He was sure he only brushed against her lightly, how did an entire drink fall out of her hands.

On the side, Emerson smirked.

He witnessed the entire scene...

Halia had tipped the drink on herself deliberately...

This sister-in-law was trickier than he thought...
