Faye was dumbfounded. Benjamin was someone who had regularly appeared on television back in the day. No wonder he looked so familiar.

“That was him?” Faye asked in disbelief.

Wilbur nodded, and Faye frowned. “Mister Grayson’s identity is quite something. His granddaughter doesn’t seem to like you very much, though.”

“Just leave her be,” Wilbur said.

Faye nodded quietly before saying, “Boss, everything’s set. I just received an invitation to Blake and Yvonne’s wedding today too.”

“Is that so? I trust that you’ll do a good job,” Wilbur said calmly.

Faye continued, “I’m planning to give them a big surprise at their wedding. What do you think?”

“The bigger, the better,” Wilbur responded, remembering how Yvonne had treated him.

Faye nodded. She glanced at the unfinished wine, then back at Wilbur. “Boss, would you like me to drink with you?”

“You can drink?” Wilbur chuckled.

Faye flushed slightly. “A little.”

Wilbur poured Faye a glass. “It’s true that I haven’t had enough.”

Faye raised her glass, clinking it against Wilbur’s as the pair drained the contents.

Following that, the two of them chatted as they drank. It did not take long for them to finish the wine that Benjamin had brought over.

Faye seemed to be pretty drunk and in the mood. She went to get another bottle from the wine cabinet and popped it open without another word.

Wilbur chuckled. Faye poured each of them another glass, and they continued to drink.

Over an hour later, Wilbur looked at Faye, who passed out on the couch. At a loss for words, he shook his head and said, “Don’t drink that much if you can’t take it. What am I supposed to do now?”
