His breath, reeking of alcohol, blew on her cheek.
She was certain he was drunk.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have held her in his arms in front of so many employees.
Violette tried to get up from his lap.
But he held her waist tightly, not letting her go.
"Violette, let's have a drink." He picked up a wine bottle and poured it into a glass. "Did you get drunk
last night because Peter was arrested and brought in?"
His grip on her waist loosened a bit.
She immediately got up from his lap.
She glanced in Adrian's direction. Where was he?
"Elijah! Where's Adrian?" She looked at Elijah's flushed face and felt he was getting craftier.
He must have had his men take Adrian away while he was forcefully holding her.
"He's so drunk, of course we sent him to rest." Elijah slowly handed her a glass of wine. "Don't worry, I
won't do anything bad to Adrian."
As soon as his words fell, Violette's phone beeped.
Opening it, she saw a new text message.
It was from Adrian.
—Violette, I'm not drunk. He's been asking about Dr. Mitchel's apprentice all night, so I had to pretend
to be drunk. Be careful, he might find out about you.
She breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the message, but also tensed up.
She looked at Elijah, took the glass of wine he offered with a complicated expression, and took a sip.
"What were you doing just now?" he asked in a low voice after taking a sip of wine.
Her chest rose and fell slightly, and her emotions were stirred by him.
He was drinking with Adrian, but still kept an eye on her in the crowd.
"Elijah, have you forgotten what you said before?" She reminded him kindly, sitting down in the chair
next to him. "You said you wouldn't come looking for me again."
Of course, Elijah hadn't forgotten.
His voice was low and mellow, "I'm just here for the company party, I’m not looking for you."
"Then why do you care about what I was doing just now?" She scoffed.
"Violette, do you not believe I'm drunk?" He looked at her with interest.
Violette drained her glass and spoke to the bodyguard behind him, "Your boss is drunk, take him
home!"
She walked away from him.
After she left, he put down his glass and left the banquet hall.
"Violette! You were hugging and cuddling with Elijah just now, what were you two doing?" Odette pulled © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
Violette toward the restroom. "Look at your face, it's so red!"
Violette patted her hot cheek and made up an excuse, "It's because I had a drink."
"Did Elijah get drunk? I saw him holding you so wildly!" Odette described with a vivid expression. "I've
never seen Elijah act so crazy. I was shocked!"
Violette looked at her exaggerated expression.
"I've known him for so long, and he's always been cold. Sometimes I wonder if he's a robot."
Violette, "If he were a robot, I would have cut off his power supply long ago, so he wouldn't have a
chance to annoy me."
Odette was convinced.
The two returned to the banquet hall from the restroom, sat down in their seats, and started eating
dinner.
"Who was looking for you just now? I wanted to ask you, but you left in a hurry." Odette asked.
"Guess." Violette said.
Odette shook her head, "I can't guess. I thought about it when you left. Basically, everyone you know is
here, who else could be looking for you?"
"Alexa." Violette took a bite of meat and chewed slowly. "My net worth might have skyrocketed by more
than five hundred million dollars."
