Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 808

Elaine had never been to such a high- end restaurant before, and it was inevitable for her to get nervous.

Howard was familiar with the restaurant and led her to a private room.

Then, he ordered food in a fluent foreign language, looking unhurried yet elegant. Seeing that, Elaine was a little surprised.

When Howard waved in front of her, she finally came to her senses.

"What are you thinking about?" He poured her a glass of red wine. "If you don't like the red wine, I'll order you some juice, although they probably don't serve juice here."

Taking a sip, she replied, "It tastes alright."

Howard was a little surprised. "You know how to drink?"

"Yeah, I can drink a little."

"How come I never see you drinking?"

"I'm working at your house, so of course, I can't be drinking."

Hearing that, Howard broke into laughter. "Fair enough."

With a smile, she took the glass and drank slowly.

Soon, it was emptied.

Yet, her face didn't even turn red.

Howard was shocked. "Can you drink more?"

"Yeah, I think so." Looking at the red wine, she asked, "Does it contain a lot of alcohol?"

Initially, thinking that Elaine would not be able to drink much alcohol, Howard had ordered the wine that contained the least alcohol.

When Elaine learned that, she licked her red lips and said, "I see. That's nothing compared to liquor and I can drink a glass of liquor at a time with no problem. So for red wine, perhaps I could drink a few more glasses."

Howard was amazed at her drinking capacity.

How was that only able to drink a little?

Taking a deep breath, he asked, "How did you manage to drink so much?"

It seemed that she was drinking quite often. Otherwise, she wouldn't have such a drinking capacity.

Elaine explained, "My dad loves to drink. When I was still little, he would sometimes let me sip his drinks to have a taste. Later, when I grew up, I worked at a bar on summer breaks, and perhaps I got used to drinking at that time."

Instantly, Howard was taken aback as he hadn't expected her to have worked in a bar before.

Because people who worked at the bar would have appeared much more experienced.

But she seemed quite pure and innocent still.

Right then, the dishes were served one by one. The foie gras tasted delicious. Upon taking two mouthfuls, Elaine drank some wine.

Seeing that, Howard raised his eyebrows. "You don't like it?"

"Oh. Actually, I prefer local cuisine more."

Howard was choked speechless.

Then, she looked around and said, "It looks quite expensive here, yet the portion is very small. Can people get full?"

"Well, perhaps not for those who have a big appetite. However, people come here not just to fill their stomachs."

Those men in decent suits probably had a deeper purpose, which was probably to please women into bed.

Nonetheless, he didn't say it out.

He was worried that she could get upset.

Meanwhile, Elaine simply took a look at him and said nothing.

Somehow, receiving her gaze, Howard felt a sense of guilt. It was as if she knew everything.

Like those men, he actually had an ulterior motive too when he took her out for dinner tonight.

After the meal, he went to pay the bill while Elaine waited for him by the side.

During then, a few men's attention was anchored on Elaine.

But she didn't notice it at all. Howard noticed that though after he paid the bill.

Elaine was dressed up dazzlingly today, making it hard for one to look away.
