The Understated Dragon Lord novel Chapter 197

Brittany's suggestion was clearly designed to embarrass Daniel. Although William was known for his alcohol consumption, he was no fool; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to climb to the position of business supervisor, leading dozens of salespeople.

Realizing Brittany's intentions and wanting to show off in front of her, William agreed without hesitation. "Alright! We’ll do as Brittany says! With Jessica away, Brittany's the boss here. Her word is law."

Turning to Daniel, William added, "Daniel, since Brittany put it this way, I trust you wouldn’t dare to contradict her, right? If you disobey, just a few words from her to Jessica might get you fired!"

"If William has no objections, neither do I! Anyway, the one barking on the floor later won’t be me; it'll be you, William! Of course, there’s still time to back out. Don’t let Brittany trick you!"

"Since Daniel is being so cocky, let's lay it all out tonight and settle who's the better drinker once and for all!"

Win or lose?

Hearing this phrase, Brittany's eyes lit up with a new idea. She interjected quickly, "Since you want to decide who wins and who loses, why not raise the stakes? The loser is a sissy. They’ll have to put on women's clothing for everyone to see.

How about this? If either of you loses, in addition to lying on the floor barking like a dog, I’ll have someone bring in a dress, and the loser has to wear it while barking."

"Sounds good! Let’s go along with what Brittany says! Whoever loses will put on a dress and bark like a dog!" William was the first to agree.

He was confident in his drinking abilities and believed he could outdrink Daniel the country boy. The thought of this country nobody barking like a dog in a dress made William quite excited. The image of it being shared in the company group chat would surely mean Daniel wouldn’t be able to show his face at the company again. Thus, the night's work would be accomplished, and William would have significantly supported Brittany's plan.

Brittany had promised promotions to those who contributed tonight, and William was aware he couldn’t claim a business manager's position. However, he believed he could make the leap from supervisor to deputy manager! Though only a step up, it meant a significant difference in salary and year-end bonus. Most importantly, he could introduce himself as 'manager'.

Daniel just laughed. Instead of immediately agreeing, he decided to give William another chance. "Are you sure you want to go that far, William? You're almost 40, right? You on the floor in a dress, barking... that's not going to look too good."

"Daniel, are you scared now? Don’t dare to play? If you're scared, just give up! Half a defeat—you don't have to wear a dress, just lie on the floor and bark like a dog!"
