Chapter 168: While Cleaning the Closet, I… Part 4

Of course, the resource person to go to is our bartender, Laurent.

"Hey, Brave Ad 65! Snagged another girl in your list," he greets us.

Carla sarcastically makes a cough; and in reaction, he just smiles and quickly whips up a drink that will suit her most.

"Carla. Carla Sutcliffe. Fred's old classmate from middle school."

"Oh, nice to meet you then, Carla."

"Not bad. Who would ever thought milk and soda would go together like bread and butter?"
