Chapter 26 “I came to see you today to…” Kent waved his hand dismissively and said with a sigh, “Ms. Evans, this must be your first time talking business. The rule is to drink before talking about business matters.” With that, he snapped his fingers at the waiter and ordered, “Bring us the best bottle of wine you have.” A moment later, the waiter brought a bottle of wine up to them and Kent took it from him, filling Caroline’s glass personally. “Ms. Evans, this is my favorite red wine. Here, have a taste.” Looking at the full glass of red wine, Caroline frowned slightly. “What’s the matter? You won’t give me this pleasure?” Kent said with a displeased expression. Caroline felt helpless and had no choice but to take a small sip. Kent’s expression turned more sour and he said, “You don’t seem very serious about this, Ms. Evans. If that’s how it’s going to be, I think it’s best that you leave.”
Caroline said hastily, “No, it’s just that I have a low tolerance for alcohol…’ ” Seeing Kent’s still sour expression, she could only pick up the glass of wine and down all its contents. Only then did he smile again. “Now that’s what I’m talking about. Here, let me pour you another glass,” he said. He filled her glass almost to the brim again. With no choice left, Caroline bit the bullet and finished it. After she drank everything, she leaned back against her chair limply, her face flushed. “I can’t anymore, Mr. Pearson. I … I can’t drink anymore.” With a smile and greedy eyes, Kent said, “Oh really? Have another glass and I’ll lend you the 50 million.” Caroline struggled to raise her head, but her eyes were sparkling with hope. “Really?” Kent smiled with satisfaction and stood up to fill Caroline’s glass. “Ms. Evans, show me exactly how sincere you are.”
Caroline picked up her wine glass with difficulty, but just as her lips touched the rim, she lost her balance and fell to the floor with a thud, the red wine forming a puddle. She was sprawled on the floor, unable to get to her feet. Kent walked to her side and said in a low voice, “Are you drunk?” Caroline looked up at him through glazed eyes and said, “No… I’m not drunk. I can drink some more …” 1/2 Kent smiled per vertedly and said, “Okay. Since you’re not drunk, then I’ll take you to another place so you can do just that-drink some more.” “Really?” Caroline opened her eyes wide like an innocent child and asked, “Where?” “Come, I’ll help you there.” “I don’t need your help!” Caroline pushed Kent away and stood up on wobbly feet. “Where … Where are we… going to drink?” Kent got up off the floor and pointed upstairs. “There’s a large wine cellar upstairs.” “Okay.” Caroline stumbled toward the elevator, and when Kent tried to hold her steady, she slapped his hand away. Kent knew that the restaurant had camera surveillance, and he didn’t want to get caught being touchy with Caroline. Therefore, he just let her stumble her way upstairs and took her to a room. It was a twin room. There was a camera positioned at the head of the bed. It was still on, so Kent thought it had been set up not too long ago. He secretly locked the door and snuck up on Caroline.” I’ll get you …” Before he could finish his sentence, he had already thrown himself against her eagerly and wrapped his arms around her. However, in the next moment, he started spasming, as if he was electrocuted. He lowered his head in disbelief, looking at the mini taser at his waist. “You … You’re not drunk?” Her face still flushed, Caroline got up from the floor with a look of disgust. She shuddered with revulsion at Kent touching the small of her back, wishing she could take a shower immediately to getnovelbin
rid of the germs. Nevertheless, she forced herself to calm down, then tased him again. Kent immediately felt numb all over. At that moment, a knock sounded at the door and Caroline looked in its direction in panic. Kent shouted excitedly, like he saw a chance of survival. “Help! Come in and help me get this heinous bit ch!” “
