Kay Forrest slightly tilted his head toward Jane Quinlan’s ear and asked, "Need any help?"
Jane gritted her teeth and whispered so only the two of them could hear, "Can you just not add to the chaos?"
Since she said that, Kay just continued to watch the drama unfold.
Seeing Xavier didn’t speak up, the colleagues and Xiao Hua who were asking her to sing felt a bit awkward.
Jane stood up and smiled, saying, "Okay, stop instigating.
I’ve had too much to drink today; I can’t sing a note.
Besides, back when my senior was single, singing with him was meant to liven up the atmosphere.
In today’s situation, it’s better to let the senior and Eden Howard sing together.
The two of them singing this song is just too fitting for the occasion, don’t you all think?"
Jane successfully shifted everyone’s attention.
The crowd then turned to tease Xavier and Eden Howard.
The recent teasing made Eden Howard a bit angry because she was not the first choice.
Already feeling somewhat irritated, she now refused to show any pleasant face to anyone.
She wouldn’t sing, and so Xavier couldn’t just jump in all by himself
So, until the end, no one sang the song.
Jane ignored the others and sat back down to drink her wine.
Kay asked her, "Why did you lie to me this morning?"
"What did I lie to you about?" she frowned at him.
"Didn’t you say you and Xavier had nothing going on?"
Jane raised an eyebrow, "We really don’t have anything going on."
"Oh, still ’senior’?"
Jane smiled speechlessly, "We graduated from the same university, and after joining the company, I’ve always addressed him as ’senior.’ What’s wrong with that?"
"And that means nothing to you?" Kay knew, this woman was not being honest.
"If that counts as something... then yes, there’s something."
She drank her wine gloomily. Why did this guy have to sit next to her and annoy her with these distasteful questions?
Director Chen came over with a glass of wine looking for Kay: "Director Forrest, you’ve come to our company for a few days now, and I haven’t had the chance to share a meal or drink with you.
Today seems like a great opportunity, I’d like to offer you a toast."
Kay shook the fruit juice in his hand: "If I were to toast you with fruit juice, it wouldn’t show you enough respect.
But I haven’t been feeling well these past few days, I’m taking some Chinese medicine and need to avoid alcohol.
Your drinks, I’ll have to delay drinking them with you for a few days.
So, today, let my assistant, Jane, drink on my behalf.
She is my assistant now; she can represent me."
Jane turned her head and looked at him in surprise, thinking he must be crazy.
She had only heard of men blocking drinks for women, but never heard of a man asking a woman to block drinks.
Truly, this was a new perspective...
Kay raised his eyebrows looking at her, but he spoke to manager Chen: "Assistant Jane has been your subordinate all these years; I believe she will show you this bit of courtesy."
Jane internally cursed his ancestors up to eighteen generations.
She had never seen such a shameless man, placing her in the situation without a word.
The crucial thing was that his earlier words left her with no way to refuse the drink.
She had no choice but to stand up, put on a smile, and clink glasses with manager Chen, drinking a glass of beer.
Then, the other employees who thought they were good with social relations came to toast Kay.
Jane drank glass after glass, and eventually, she was so drunk her whole body was swaying, and then later...
When she woke up in her new home, it was already 10 a.m. the next morning.
She strained to sit up in bed, rubbing her head.
Her head was killing her; she looked around the house. When did she come here?
Her throat was terribly dry, she threw off the blanket and got out of bed, but a pair of white legs blinded her eyes.
Wait a minute, wasn’t she wearing pants yesterday?
Where were her pants?
She looked down and realized, God... she was naked...
She quickly pulled the blanket back around her and looked around.
It was Kay Forrest’s house, no doubt; nobody in the office knew she had moved.
So the only person who could have brought her here was... Kay Forrest.
But... where were her clothes? Who took them off? She couldn’t remember anything.
She smacked her head in frustration; she was so stupid, did she even need to think about this question?
Oh my God, had Kay Forrest taken advantage of her again?
Kay probably hadn’t done anything to her, right?
He... didn’t seem like that kind of guy.
Besides, except for her head and throat feeling uncomfortable, her body didn’t feel like it had been run over by an elephant.
Right, that’s true, Kay had said it before; she wasn’t his type.
But still, where were her clothes?
