Laura sat a short distance away from Lyle, her eyes staring intently at the perfect man.
According to the praise, Lyle rarely drank alcohol except when he had to meet with business partners. Today, seeing him like this was enough for her to know that he had sadness in his heart.
She secretly thought that maybe the deputy general director was so sad because of women. She smiled slightly, decided not to drink anymore, just sipped and waited for an opportunity.
Through the months of interacting with Nolan, Laura also had some feelings for him. Although he used to speak rudely, he was now much gentler and more considerate.
But for Laura, love is just like a spice to make life more salty. What she needs is still money, fame, and power, which Nolan increasingly loses. The scale of AS Group has shrunk to the point of no longer having any reputation in the business world.
Lyle is a person who specializes in entertaining customers of Global Group, so no one saw him drunk. However, with his current chaotic mood, he was already dizzy after just finishing a bottle of wine.
He had just taken out his phone to find Mina's contact number when he dropped it on the floor. Looking up at the waiter, he mumbled.
“Help me call the driver.”
“Let me take you home.” Laura walked to Lyle's side, her voice soft.
“Laura.”
Lyle could only call Laura's name before collapsing and closing his eyes. She smiled, telling herself that she absolutely could not let this golden opportunity slip away.
Long, slender hands gently reached out to help him leave the bustling place. The scent of wine on her neck made her heart suddenly jump, the feeling of excitement and nervousness overwhelmed her soul.
Not far from the bar where Lyle was relaxing, the crew members were also happily eating and drinking.
Today is Kent's birthday. Last year around this time, he was busy with the film crew in a remote province, but this year because all the filming scenes were in the city, he celebrated his birthday a little big. The guests are mainly the cast and crew of the Summer Moonlight project.
Mina and Edana arrived when everyone was about to sing. Because Kent was worried that Edana wouldn't come, he invited Mina and begged her to bring his dream girl along.
Although Mina is not Edana's superior, she is still the person closest to the second Sun of the Global Group. If she were to ask, Edana would not refuse.
But if Mina hadn't invited Edana, she would still have come because she admired the original work being adapted this time and everyone involved.
After a lively greeting, Mina and Edana received three glasses of wine as punishment for latecomers. Then, everyone started to move to the nearby karaoke bar.
After all, Mina is Lyle's assistant, so a few drinks won't make it difficult for her. Poor Wynn, he kept worrying, looking back and forth, worrying constantly.
He was in charge of pouring the wine, he filled everyone's glasses but only poured a little wine into Mina's glass, and filled it with ice.
He thought everyone was drunk and wouldn't notice, but his actions couldn't escape Rose's eyes. She came forward and criticized him, making him not know where to hide his face.
“Maybe Wynn is too drunk and didn't pour the wine evenly, come on, I'll drink a full glass to make up for it.” Mina raised the glass in her hand and looked around.
“That's not fair. You've already skipped several glasses of wine. How can this one glass of wine make up for it?” Rose raised her voice.
“Then two glasses, okay?” Mina asked.
“Enough Rose, you've skipped a few rounds already.” Wynn snatched the wine glass from Mina's hand.
“Then it's okay for Miss Mina and me to drink together, right?”
After saying that, Rose picked up the bottle of wine, staggered over, and stood close to Mina.
Wynn quickly stood between the two girls and grabbed the bottle of wine. The whole crew stopped singing and started watching the drama.
“It's because I didn't pour it evenly, so just punish me.”
After saying that, Wynn drank the whole bottle of wine in one gulp. Rose burst into tears and ran out. John panicked and chased after her.
Everyone winked at each other and retreated, while Kent sadly watched the bottle of fine wine slide into the star's mouth. If Edana hadn't dragged him away, he would probably continue to stand motionless here.
Rose ran for a while then vomited, tears and snot streaming down her face. Initially, she decided to join Global Group not because she wanted to develop her career but because she wanted to develop her relationship with Wynn.
However, everything went off the rails. He was now following the model of a young buffalo that liked to eat old grass, a young pilot who liked to fly old planes, so he didn't pay attention to her.
“Wipe your face and I'll take you home, it's cold.” John sat down next to Rose and gave her the handkerchief.
“I can go by myself, you go.”
Although she said that, she had no strength to refuse anymore, her body was limp like a rotten noodle, letting the handsome guy carry her on his back, carrying her to the parking lot.
All the way, John got to listen to the beauty cry for free, but that was still lucky for him because if she had sung, he would have been psychologically traumatized.
As for Wynn, after drinking the entire bottle of wine, he stayed in the bathroom for twenty minutes without showing his head.
The cleaning staff brought buckets and brooms to the room and saw Mina still lingering in there, so they quickly retreated.
Feeling so impatient, she ventured to knock on the door to call him but only heard the sound of rushing water. Just as she was about to rush in to check, he appeared, fell on her, and whispered.
“Sister, take me home, I can't drive anymore.”
“Come on, let's go.”
Mina put his arm around her shoulders and helped him down. Luckily, she had come with Edana, otherwise, she would have had to leave her beloved car at the karaoke bar.
After Wynn sat in the seat, he no longer knew anything. He thought the car was standing still and spinning around.
Because Wynn was so drunk and Lyle wasn't home, Mina had to stay, intending to wait for Lyle to return before leaving.
While passing by the small table, she accidentally saw a notebook, on the cover were written the words “Written for the One I Love”, so she was curious and opened it to take a look.
The lines of thoughts continued day by day, every few days and weeks, in it were all of Wynn’s thoughts and feelings for her from the time he was a little boy until he grew up.
A thought flashed through her mind, she quickly flipped to the latest page. And what caught her eye were the words “Today, in the elevator, I used my hand to support the back of her head because I was afraid she would get hurt, but also because I wanted the person I love not to forget me. I just need to lie in a small corner of your heart and I will be satisfied.”
After reading, she raised her hand to her mouth and pressed it tightly to suppress her emotions. Suddenly, Wynn's soft moan startled her, she quickly put down the notebook and ran straight to the living room with countless emotions mixed in her heart.
Looking up at the ceiling, she silently blamed this brat for being inconsistent. He had made her sad for months, but now that she knew his feelings, she felt relieved.
“Wynn, I want to see how long you can hold on. Are you pretending to be cold towards me? I'll turn you into an ice cube.”
