Jay was allergic to alcohol, hence his lips barely touched any.
However, he deliberately went and greeted everyone and did not refuse anyone who toasted to him. Rose had no choice but to step forward for Jay and drink his share for him.
Consequently, Rose ended up losing track of how many glasses of wine she had drunk. Her stomach was overwhelmed by the amount of liquid, and she started feeling sick. Finally, she conceded and asked Jay for help.
"I can't drink anymore, Sir Ares.” She clutched onto her stomach with a pale face. Sweat was oozing out of her forehead.
Jay looked at her increasingly sick expression, and his eyes were cold. The tone he used was even colder." You're oh-so capable, aren't you? You even drank 12 glasses of liquor!”
It was a powerless mocking for the resentment he felt.
'Why'd you have to drink this much when you can't actually withstand it?'
Fortunately, she was with him today. If it were any other hypocrite with a lustful scheme, how could she protect herself?
Rose could not hear past his ridicule and raised her head to squeeze a weak, wry smile toward him.
"I used to drink even more!"
'Unrepentant?'
Jay’s narrow eyes seemed to shoot out a dangerous cold gaze at her. "Oh? Then, the person in front of us is an overseas entrepreneur. I've been looking for a chance to cooperate with him. Since you have such great tolerance, can you help me out with a couple of drinks? If the cooperation is a success, I'll give you generous rewards."
Rose could not care less about the rewards. When she heard that it was a big client he wanted to work with, she stood up straight and said, "Alright." 3
Jay looked at her speechlessly.
He felt angry that she was not cherishing herself enough!
How would he know that her heart belonged to him? That she could not care less about her body for him to achieve well in his career?
Jay brought Rose in front of the overseas entrepreneur. The foreigner spoke German, and Jay pretended not to understand him. He turned around and asked Rose, “Can you translate for me?"
How could Rose have known that it was a test? She thought that he wanted a decent translation to preserve his credibility. Hence, she proceeded to translate for him. "He's complimenting you for being s o handsome.
"He said that he has heard of your legend. You're the genius who created three-quarters of the world's largest networking domain at a young age."
As Jay listened to Rose’s professional translation, a smile appeared in his eyes.
