Find Me In Your Labyrinth

Today was the small celebration dinner for the successful collaboration between the James Group and Frank. The bigwigs from Frank all showed up, paying their respects to Charlie.

Charlie was kept busy, accepting toasts from everyone. In no time, he’d downed four or five drinks.

While Charlie was chatting with a woman named Tia, Colin took the opportunity to offer a toast to Emily. “Manuel told me that our cooperation plan was all thanks to you, Ms. Sullivan,” he said. “Her contributions were crucial to our speedy agreement. Here’s to that, drink at your own pace”

Emily raised her glass and took a small sip, the drink burning its way down into her stomach.

“Ms. Sullivan, are you new to the James Group? So young and so capable, Mr. James has a sharp eye!”

Colin showered Emily with praises, making no attempt to hide his interest in her.

Charlie watched Emily from the side, noticing her glass was quickly emptying, but he didn’t stop her.

After three rounds of drinks, Colin was already tipsy. He poured Charlie another drink, saying. “Mr. James, let’s have a few more drinks. I’ve booked a private room at the 9th Mansion, you must come”

Frank knew that Charlie loved to party, so he booked the most luxurious suite at the 9th Mansion.
