Flash Marriage: She becomes Mrs. CEO after the Failed Dowry Talk

Chapter 549: Forced to Drink

"It seems Boss Young wants to drink. We’ve collaborated for seven or eight years, let me have a drink with you." Elie finished speaking, picked up the wine glass beside her, and drank the crimson liquid entirely.

The person referred to as Boss Young panicked internally upon seeing Elie get up and hurriedly drank as well.

Originally, he intended to make things difficult for the new young woman, but unexpectedly hit a snag.

"Elie gathered everyone to discuss work; we can drink after." Jasper Sinclair spoke up, quietly coming to Nora Northwood’s rescue.

"After cooperating for so long, Director Sinclair still understands my thoughts."

The two exchanged a few words and glossed over the drinking, quickly returning to the main topic.

Elie scanned the faces of everyone present and straightforwardly said, "For the winter makeup series, everyone, share your thoughts."

"As far as I know, VK is not officially launched yet, and should not fall within Elie’s collaboration scope."

Nora Northwood: "..."

The beer-bellied man was relentless, targeting just her, wasn’t he?

She exhaled heavily, raised her red lips, and stared directly at the beer-bellied man, "Boss Young, that’s incorrect. The ability to judge a company’s business capabilities isn’t based on whether it’s listed or not. Today, my presence here indicates that Elie considered VK. Wouldn’t you agree?"

The beer-bellied man was speechless, laughing awkwardly, and shifted the topic elsewhere.

"If that’s the case, let me begin with my views."

Ultimately, Elie did not announce who’s the winner, but from her behavior, everyone could infer that VK had a good chance.

The business discussion concluded, leading inevitably to the drinking round.

No matter how she tried, Nora Northwood couldn’t avoid this drink. Everyone present were seasoned veterans in the business world, waiting to see VK, a newly risen enterprise, fail.

During Boss Young’s endless nitpicking, Nora Northwood realized that if she decided to come out and compete, she must be able to play.

She picked up her glass and toasted everyone present.

When it was Jasper Sinclair’s turn, she said nothing.

...

After several rounds of drinks.

Nora Northwood’s stomach started to feel turbulent, and her vision doubled. She held onto her last shred of clarity and quietly told Lily Sloan, "Lily, I’m going to the restroom, stay here and wait for a moment."

After saying that, she went straight to the restroom outside and vomited a lot by the sink.

The cleaning staff kindly handed her some tissue.

"Miss, are you okay?"

The cleaner had worked there for several years, seen many girls drinking for business, but rarely saw someone exert so much effort.

"I’m fine, thank you, ma’am."

Nora rinsed her mouth, leaned against the wall, and staggered out.

The cleaner had just mopped the floor, and the water hadn’t dried completely. Her foot slipped, tripping as her left foot caught her right foot, sending her into an awkward descent toward the floor.

Nora exclaimed, and just as she thought she was about to make intimate contact with the ground, a strong arm caught her around the waist.

The familiar scent entered her nostrils. Without even looking up, she knew who had helped her up.

Nonetheless, the pressure on her stomach was unbearably uncomfortable.

Nora braced herself against the wall with her hand, steadied herself, and thanked the person.

Jasper Sinclair watched her every move, feeling a deep sense of helplessness.

"Nora Northwood, is this really the life you insist on pursuing after divorcing me?"

In the past, who would dare to force the Sinclair Family members to drink?

Not even Boss Young, not even Elie, would dare to act so recklessly.
