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

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 …”

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
