Jacob made his way to the private room on the top floor. Lillian had reserved this room exclusively for him and it was normally closed to the public. When he arrived, she was the only one waiting inside.
The interior was somewhat dimly lit, and he couldn't understand why Lilian had to use such dim lights.
"Where's Susan? Why are you the only one here?" Jacob walked into the room and asked in confusion.
"I told her that I'm busy and I wouldn't be celebrating my birthday this year." When Lilian looked up, Jacob noticed that she was slightly intoxicated. She reeked of the smell of alcohol. It was obvious that she had been drinking a lot.
"Have you been drinking?" He asked with a frown. He had a feeling that she was acting oddly. Her usual demeanor was that of a child. He had a bad feeling when she seemed a little melancholy.
"Yeah, just a little bit." She beamed.
