Preston smiled helplessly and drank.
âCome on, again!â Mina said excitedly.
Preston had no choice but to go along with Mina.
Preston kept losing.
Mina smiled like a fool.
âIâm so awesome!â She excitedly said to Annalise, âMaster, Iâm so lucky today.
Itâs amazing.â âStop playing.
Eat,â Annalise said with a smile.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Preston was going easy Mina.
If they were to keep drinking, Preston would get drunk.
âHahaha, I wanna keep playing.
Come on, Mr.
Blake, continue!â Mina laughed.
Annalise smiled and let them keep at it.
Soon, Preston began to sway.
He began to see mirages.
Then, he fell headfirst onto the table.
âMr.
Blake?â Mina called out and muttered, âYouâre drunk so quickly?â She was in a difficult position.
She hadnât even eaten much.
She stood up and said, âIâll take Mr.
Blake back.â She had to take the person she got drunk home after all.
Annalise said helplessly, âYou drank yourself too.
How are you going to take him home?â âOh, right, right, right.
I drank too.
Iâll get a driver.â Mina took out her phone and prepared to do so.
Lianne immediately stood up and said, âItâs okay.
I didnât drink.
Iâll take Preston back.â As soon as Lianne stood up, Trevor lost his cool.
He immediately stood up and said, âIâll take you both off!â For some reason, he had a feeling that they would never see each other again after today.
Lianneâs heart skipped a beat, but she still said rationally, âTrevor, you drank yourself.
Itâs okay.
Iâll take Preston back.â âLetâs just get a driver.â Lee glanced at his son and said.
A father knew his son best.
Although the father and son had not known each other for long, he was experienced.
He knew his sonâs thoughts.
âOkay.â Trevor immediately called for a driver.
After calling a driver, he said to Lianne, âWhen the driver comes, Iâll come with you two.
Letâs go.â âOkay,â Lianne said.
Trevor then hoisted Preston up.
Preston was really drunk.
His body was all limp.
If it wasnât for Trevor supporting him, he would have collapsed to the ground.
When Mina saw Preston like this, she suddenly realized something.
Preston hadnât even eaten anything yet.
She figured that she would treat him to a meal next time to make up for it.
Trevor helped Preston to the parking lot.
Lianne came together.
Lianne stole a glance at Trevor from time to time.
She bit her lip quietly.
Soon, the driver arrived.
Trevor helped Preston into his car and called out to Lianne, âGet in.â âOkay.â Lianne immediately got into the car.
The driver drove them to the Blake Residence.
They arrived at the Blake Residence.
The driver said, âSir, weâre here.â Trevor asked, âHow much?â The driver said, â12 dollars, sir.â âGive me the code,â Trevor said.
âOkay.â The driver immediately handed the payment code to Trevor.
After scanning the code, Trevor said to Lianne, âYour brother is very drunk.
You canât carry him.
Iâll help him to his room.
Get the servants to get him something for the hangover.â âAlright, sure.â Lianne was even more disappointed.
She thought that he wanted to stay.
Trevor helped Preston to the room.
Lianne immediately helped push open Prestonâsroom and signaled Trevor to put the man on the bed.
Lianne asked the servants to prepare some tea and had them pour some for Trevor.
She said to Trevor, âTrevor, I donât think youâve eaten much.
Why donât you eat a little before leaving?â Trevor replied, âSure.â He wondered if she wanted to kick him out right after eating.
He had already asked the driver to go home.
He wondered if Lianne would let him sober up before leaving.
Seeing that Trevor was willing to stay for a meal, Lianne immediately asked the servants to prepare late-night snacks and fruit platters.
Afraid that the servant would be too slow about it, she said, âIâll get the fruit platter.â She asked Trevor to sit down for a while, and she immediately went to get the fruit platter.
Soon, Lianne brought out the fruit platter.
She called out to Trevor.
âTrevor, come, eat some fruits.â âYour work?â Trevor asked.
âYeah.
It didnât go too well,â Lianne said.
âI thought itâs quite well done,â Trevor praised.
Lianne was overjoyed.
âReally?â Her eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky.
âYeah.â Trevor looked at her.
Lianne quickly retracted her gaze.
She did not dare to meet Trevorâs eyes, afraid that Trevor would see through her thoughts.
âNow that things at Blake Corporation are going smoother, will your work be easier in the future?â
Trevor asked.
âYes, it will.â Lianneâs heart started to feel empty again.
She wondered if Trevor was trying to tell her that he would not go with her to work in the future.
Sure enough, Trevor said, âThen from now on, I wonât be coming with you to work.
Call me if anything happens.â Now that things at Blake Corporation were going smoothly, he had to go back to the Xander family.
âYeah,â Lianne replied.
She wondered what reason would she have to call him in the future.
She figured that if Trevor really had no feelings for her, she would only cause trouble for him if she took the initiative to look for him.
âIâm not actually so hungry.
Why donât you come with me for a walk to sober up?â Trevor said.
âYeah,â Lianne replied and stood up.
The April night was balmy.
Trevor and Lianne walked side by side.
Neither of them spoke.
After walking out of the Blake Residence, there was a river ahead.
The two of them walked along the river bank.
âAre you cold?â Trevor asked.
âNo,â Lianne said.
Trevor suddenly said, âIâm going back to take care of Xander Group.â âYeah, sure,â Lianne said.
Trevor added, âThe girl I like is the daughter of a wealthy family.
If I have nothing, I wouldnât be worthy of her.â Lianneâs heart skipped a beat when she heard that Trevor had a girl he liked.
The pain was indescribable.
It was just that her heart suddenly tightened, as if a hand was gripping her heart tightly, making her unable to breathe.
Even breath taken was painful.
She thought that after spending a short time with Trevor, she would at most have a good impression of him.
She did not expect it to be so uncomfortable.
Shealso thought that such pain was unique to girls in their late teens.
She was already 26 years old this year, meaning that she was already going 30.
She thought that she had reached the age where she would only consider if both parties were compatible.
However, the pain in her heart clearly told her that she cared, liked, and could not bear to part with Trevor.
Trevor suddenly asked, âLianne, do you have someone you like?â âI⦠No,â Lianne said through gritted teeth.
She did, but he just told her that he had someone he liked.
She didnât want to trouble him.
âIf you choose a partner, what kind of person would you like?â Trevor asked.
âIâ¦â Lianne didnât know how to answer.
Trevor said as he walked, âYou should like someone with a sense of humor, right? It would complement your personality.â He was too silent, as silent as she was.
âNo, as long as I like him, it doesnât matter what kind of personality he has,â Lianne said anxiously.
Trevor suddenly stopped and turned to look at Lianne.
Lianneâs eyes were filled with panic.
She quickly looked away.
