Chapter 440: Only Dares to Issue a Challenge, But Doesn’t Dare to Follow Through?
Yuan Yumeng gripped the wine glass in her hand tightly. She could almost hear it creak. She realized now that from the beginning, he was determined to be at odds with her, seeing her in a bad light no matter what.If it were a private setting, she would’ve lost her temper long ago. But in this situation, she found herself caught in a dilemma.
Yuan Yumeng gritted her teeth, deliberately emphasizing the first two words, "Mr. Huo, I have already had two drinks, and you haven’t had even one."
The department manager watched anxiously from the side, constantly giving Yuan Yumeng significant looks. Did she not want to survive in this circle?
Just a greenhorn and daring to challenge the famous Young Master Huo. He himself had been in this circle for over a decade, only managing to be an obedient lackey, not daring to utter a single ’no.’ Yet here she was, immediately getting Young Master Huo to drink.
Where did she get such nerve?
Huo Junting elegantly lifted his gaze. The action instantly stunned everyone in the room, including the manager, who was momentarily overwhelmed by his charm and quickly turned his head, not wanting to be ’converted.’
"You... want me to drink?"
The man deliberately stressed the word "You."
Yuan Yumeng fearlessly plopped down on the sofa next to Huo Junting. Wasn’t the manager told her to keep the drinks coming?
For someone with her looks, it’s already an immense honor to be asked to keep a man company, not to mention a man like him. It’s a blessing that fell from the sky!
Given that, she decided to seize the opportunity and do her ’job’ as an accompaniment competently.
Everyone in the private room was shocked by Yuan Yumeng’s bold action, their mouths agape, too stunned to care about appearances.
What surprised them even more was that Young Master Huo actually smiled, then cooperatively picked up his glass from the table and clinked it against Yuan Yumeng’s empty glass, saying, "Alright, I’ll drink as much as you do tonight."
Yuan Yumeng never expected Huo Junting would actually drink. She initially thought he’d just mock her a little, and then once the manager realized she couldn’t keep up, she’d be relieved. Unexpectedly...
What to do now? Does she really have to drink with him?
Huo Junting raised an eyebrow, "What, only dared to issue a challenge but not up for the real thing?"
Yuan Yumeng knew it was a trick, but she had no choice but to take the bait. So many eyes were watching!
Thinking deeper, if she really offended Huo Junting even more today, there might be no place for her in this circle in the future...
Yuan Yumeng said resolutely, "Alright, I can."
Then Huo Junting suddenly smiled enigmatically and turned to the manager beside him, "You take them downstairs."
The manager’s eyes slyly darted around, and he immediately got up from the sofa, "Alright, Mr. Huo, enjoy your drinks. Have a great time!"
"Hey, Xiao Yuan, you must take good care of Mr. Huo and don’t make him unhappy."
Yuan Yumeng increasingly despised this manager, acting like a leader but more like a pimp, and replied indifferently, "I know."
The manager could see the meaning on Yuan Yumeng’s face, but with Huo Junting present, he found it hard to say much, thinking that there will be time in the future, and if she doesn’t listen well in the future, she’s bound to pay for it.
"Well then, Mr. Huo, we’ll be leaving now. Goodbye, goodbye!"
Although Huo Junting nodded, his expression made people a bit unsettled, prompting everyone to leave the room quickly.
Once the room was left with only the two of them, Yuan Yumeng got up to pour the wine, "Mr. Huo, how many glasses do you plan to drink?"
