Chapter 157
The woman sat down timidly, with a slightly awkward smile.
“Mr. Larson, come, let’s have a drink.” The boss, a man with a fat head and big ears, raised his glass of wine and toasted the restrained Terry.
Terry quickly stood up and handed over his cup with both hands. Others also raised their glasses.
The man laughed heartily. “Mr. Larson, don’t be so formal, you are Mr. Barton’s brother–in–law, we will be friends from now on.”
“Thank you for your attention, General Chen,” Terry said with a smile, nervously finishing the drink in his glass and sitting back in his seat. He’d rehearsed the business conversation many times and nervously began, “My newly established fruit and vegetable supply…”
Kaleb reached out and placed his hand on Terry’s thigh, leaning in.“Bro, this isn’t the right place to discuss business. Just enjoy drinking with them and get to know each other. When it comes to business matters, all it takes is a few words.”
Terry, rarely socializing, quickly nodded. Under Kaleb’s leadership, things became increasingly relaxed. Those who liked beauty, flirted with girls. Those who liked to drink, drank alcohol. Those who liked to brag, flattered
everyone.
After the social gathering, it was already late at night. Some people left with the women they’d met, while others were taken away by their assistants. Terry, half drunk and half awake, was sent to the car by Reilly and driven home. Kaleb drank too much and passed out on the couch to rest.
Annalise watched from the side, and as she thought about how he had lowered himself to socialize with this group of low–class scumbags for the sake of my brother, and had even gotten himself drunk, she became furious. After pondering for a long time, a hint of malevolence flashed in her eyes. She walked out of the private room and entered the restroom to call Leyla.
“Leyla, there’s an extremely rare opportunity that came your way, didn’t it?”
“What?”
“Kaleb got drunk and is now alone.”
Leyla sneered.“Such a great bargain, why didn’t you pick it up yourself?”
“I was really just his friend, and I sincerely hoped that you two would get back together,” Annalise explained earnestly.
