Wooing My Ex-Wife
Chapter 31
Chapter 31 Heavyweight Drinker Suzanna’s smile froze at Gwendolyn’s question, but she quickly composed herself and smiled even more brightly.
She pulled Gwendolyn aside and whispered, “These directors are influential figures in Grandeur Group.
One word from any of them would make or break our artists‘ casting opportunities in the drama.
So try not to upset them, Ms. Shalders.
” Gwendolyn nodded expressionlessly in response.
They returned to the table after their whispering.
Tom, Harry, and Peter had not stopped staring at Gwendolyn since she entered the private room.
Gwendolyn wanted to throw up under their lustful stares.
Tom was the first to speak up.
“Ms. Shalders, you’re really as pretty as the rumors say.
You’ve got a great figure too.
” “You’re too generous.
The three of you are truly exceptional and successful,” replied Gwendolyn obligingly.
Suzanna quickly invited everyone to take their seats before toasting Gwendolyn, “This is your first business meeting since joining the company, Ms. Shalders.
Please allow me to toast to a successful deal.
” As she spoke, she pushed a glass of red wine into Gwendolyn’s hand.
Gwendolyn swirled the liquor around the glass and sniffed the bouquet elegantly.
“Hmm, a 1982 Château Lafite Rothschild.
What an excellent wine.
” She smiled and clinked glasses with Suzanna before polishing off the wine in a single gulp.
Harry jumped in to flatter Gwendolyn, praising, “Ms. Shalders, I didn’t take you for a wine aficionado.
You can hold your drinks well too.
How utterly charming.
I hope you’ll accept my toast as well.
” “Aren’t we discussing the casting for Grandeur Group’s drama project? Why haven’t any of you brought the subject up?” asked Gwendolyn.
Calmly, one of the directors replied, “Of course, we’ll get to it, but we should have a few glasses and relax before getting down to serious business.
I’m sure you understand how this works, don’t you, Ms. Shalders?” They smiled at Gwendolyn and raised their glasses at her.
Gwendolyn did not put off their requests and downed glass after glass of wine.
Meanwhile, Noah knocked on the door to the CEO’s office at Wright Construction Group.
He entered the room and politely handed a dossier on Gwendolyn’s background to Maverick.
“Boss, our men have investigated her three times.
This is the final, organized information we have on her background for your review,” Maverick received the documents from his assistant and read them several times, his brows slightly furrowed.
At first glance, Gwendolyn’s background seemed perfectly ordinary until it came to her life before she was fifteen years old.
There was only a line about her coming from an orphanage.
No other details were available, not even regarding when she was first brought to the orphanage.
Is there actually someone in this world that my genius hackers can’t investigate? Noah seemed to sense his employer’s doubts and asked, “Do you want them to dig deeper?” “No.
” Maverick closed the dossier and placed it on a stack of documents in his office, adding, “She’s deliberately hiding her true background from us.
We’ll just be wasting our efforts investigating her.
The only thing that’s certain is that her background isn’t as simple as it seeMs. ” He strolled to the long windows in his office and lit a cigarette, his gaze dark and thoughtful.
Noah checked Maverick’s schedule on an iPad and asked, “Boss, you have a dinner meeting tonight, which was booked a week ago.
Are you going?” “Yes.
” Suzanna and the three directors from Grandeur Group took turns toasting Gwendolyn at their business meeting.
Gwendolyn had not refused a drink during their three rounds of toasts.
The party promptly polished off six bottles of red wine.
Gwendolyn’s cheeks were mildly flushed despite the amount of liquor she had drunk, which added to her allure.
Her gaze, however, remained lucid.
Suzanna was frustrated, even as she struggled to keep a clear head.
I didn’t expect her to be a heavyweight at drinking.
Even the directors are getting tipsy.
How is she perfectly fine? Everyone was about to collapse at the table.
To her surprise, Gwendolyn refilled her glass with red wine and downed it when the others stopped pouring liquor for her.
Then, she shot her dinner companions a smile so beatific it bordered on a taunt.
