Elias’ Crimes and Punishments of Romance

Chapter 159 Is This the Sh*tty Plan You Came Up With?

After steadying herself, Amanda finally saw the man before her clearly and shook her head. “I’m not drunk. By the way, why are you here?”

As soon as her question left her lips, she immediately realized how nonsensical it sounded. It was not strange for Elias to show up at any banquets in the slightest; there were too many people who wanted to invite him to their events.

Elias replied in a low voice, “Yeah, it’s for work. Do you want to…”

As a matter of fact, he was about to ask if she wanted him to take her home. After all, Amanda was not only wearing such a revealing dress, but she seemed a little tipsy as well. If a man with ulterior motives. noticed this, the outcome would be unthinkable.

However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Lazarus, who had suddenly come over to their side.

“Is this the famous Miss Bailey? So, all of the lawyers at Justice & Associates are gorgeous.”

Amanda looked at the man who had suddenly appeared. He commanded a playful and charming air, but she did not seem to know who he was, “You are…”

Lazarus extended a hand. “You don’t know me, but I’m friends with your superior, Simon, and a childhood friend of Elias’. We grew up together.

Childhood friend? Amanda blearily reached out and gently shook his hand.

Meanwhile, Elias’ gaze was fixed intently on their clasped hands, and he let out a small cough. “That’s enough.”

Lazarus retracted his hand and placed it on Elias’ shoulder, saying into his ear, “Did you listen to anything I told you? Remember, be indifferent, and don’t make the first move. If you want all your previous efforts to go to waste, just forget what I said.”

Elias was rendered speechless. He hadn’t done anything at all. Even if it was as a friend, there wasn’t anything wrong with taking Amanda home since she was drunk, was there? Were things that serious? He had no idea why Lazarus was acting this way.
