Chapter 464 Drunk

Inez stared at his computer. “But you haven’t finished your work yet.”

“Can you wait for me for half an hour?” He regarded her with a solemn look.

“Okay.” Kieran immediately returned to his seat and quickly adjusted himself into work. mode to handle the tasks at hand.

Later that night, the gathering took place at a bar lit with neon lights and filled with debauchery.

There were more than ten men and women inside the private room. By the time Inez and Kieran arrived, everyone else was already there, having a great time.

Kieran had been absorbed in his medical research over the years and never involved himself in any of Harris Group’s affairs. Naturally, he never participated in any social gatherings.

He wasn’t fond of the place that was filled with alcohol stench. From the moment he stepped into the room, he knitted his brows, looking aloof and unsociable.

Inez could fathom he was uncomfortable with the complicated atmosphere. When they walked into the room, she turned around and whispered, “If you’re not used to it, just wait for me outside or take a cab back to the Mossey residence.”

With that, she shifted her eyes back to the scene inside the room, quickly putting on a cordial smile on her face.

However, Kieran grabbed her wrist and asked with a somewhat strained voice, “Inez, do you frequent places like this?”

She lowered her gaze, hiding the sorrow in her eyes, and replied nonchalantly, “I’m Mossey Corporation’s heir, so it’s my duty to rejuvenate my family’s business. Whether I like it or not, I must attend such gatherings.”

She pried her hand from Kieran’s grip, turned around, and entered the room.

When the people inside saw her walking in, they immediately greeted her enthusiastically.
