"Josie."
With a tender gesture, Oliver wrapped his arms around Josefina from behind, resting his chin gently on her head.
"Josie, why didn't you wait for me?"
Josefina scrunched her nose as the strong scent of alcohol wafted over. "Why have you been drinking like a fish?"
"It's not as bad as it seems; my clothes just soaked up the smell. If it bothers you, I'll just toss them."
As he spoke, Oliver began peeling off his jacket.
Just as he was about to chuck it into the trash bin, Josefina stepped in.
"Oliver, just because you have money doesn't mean you should waste it. It's a perfectly good jacket. Take it home and wash it; it'll be fine."
Oliver chuckled, holding Josefina tighter as if he hadn't seen her in ages, unwilling to let go.
"Oliver, people are watching," Josefina nudged, still holding his discarded blazer.
Oliver's handsome features softened with an indulgent smile, his gaze upon Josefina both mischievous and wild.
"Josie, let me take you home. Too much booze can't be good for your stomach."

A woman trailed behind him, head bowed, looking every bit the wronged wife under Finley's thunderous expression.
