Chapter 215 Uninvited Guests (One)

• Lots of people would agree that it was too early to be drunk as hell at ten in the morning, but Josh could not relate at all. He was so drunk that everything in his vision was blurred and wobbling, but he still kept plying himself with drink, and who wouldn’t? Life was so unfair, and he was feeling really sorry for himself. As always, when he felt sorry for himself as he did now, he plied himself with alcohol in a bid to numb the pain, but the pain of today was too great for booze to numb.
• After a while, he stopped drinking and took stock of his situation. He didn’t know if someone could die from drinking too much in one go, but he wasn’t about to find out. After all, when there is life, there is hope, and he still had life. Who would have thought that he, who had been quite rich yesterday, would be back to square one today? Certainly not him, not when he had been gambling away all the money that he had gotten from that Richie rich girl called Tracy. To worsen matters, he was even in debt now.
• In his defense though, he hadn’t exactly been gambling it away. What he had been trying to do was to double it. He couldn’t be blamed for that though, because he had thought that he would get much more money from Tracy than the amount that she had given him. He had been planning for at least a hundred grand more, and yet she had given him a meager five grand. Of course, he had to double it. If only he hadn’t promised her that he would not disturb her again, he would have gone to ask her for more money.
