As the deal seemed to be settled, Felix Bakerâs smile became much more sincere.
He started to look at Kevin Clark and Daisy Zane as if they were the God of Wealth.
After eating two delicate Osmanthus cakes, Daisy found Felixâs face somewhat repulsive. She poured some more wine in her glass and said, âIâll toast to Mr.
Baker. Thank you for giving me this opportunity.â
Seeing the eerie cold smile at the corner of her mouth, Felixâs smile stiffened for a moment, âNo, no, you should thank Third Master more.â
Daisy smiled but didnât say anything. She just raised her glass to him, tilted her head back, and drank all the wine in her glass, then looked at Felix.
Under her gaze, Felix had no choice but to drink up as well, âLady Zane is too polite.â
Daisy poured more wine and said, âFor the second glass, I want to thank Mr.
Baker for helping me out tonight.â
Felixâs mouth twitched and he quickly said, âIt was just a small effort, Lady
Zane, thereâs no need to be so polite.â
Seeing that he didnât want to drink, Daisy turned her gaze to Anna Skyler.
Anna glanced at Felix, then at Daisy, and finally filled Felixâs glass with wine.
Felix, looking at the glass filled to the brim, scowled at the wolf beside him.
Anna shrank her neck in fear.
âIâll drink up. Mr. Baker, please.â Daisy finished her wine with her head tilted back.
âDaisy, donât drink too much. The after-effects of this red wine are quite strong.â Phoebe Turner whispered beside her and then looked at Kevin Clark, signaling him to stop her drinking.
But Kevin just silently sat there, watching, clearly letting her do as she pleased.
Phoebe Turner:
âWhy wonât Mr. Baker drink? Is my sincerity not enough?â Daisy asked.
âNot at all.â Felix took a deep breath for the sake of that 60% payment, tilted his head back, and gulped down the wine. After drinking it all, he felt somewhat blurry in front of him.
However, Daisy poured another glass, âWith this third glass, Iâd like to ask Mr.
Baker to take good care of me in the future.â
As soon as she finished her sentence, Anna was about to pour wine for Felix.
Felix quickly grabbed the wine bottle: âIâll do it myself.â He poured a small glass for himself, âAs for taking care, Iâll have to rely heavily on Lady Zane in
Spotlight.â
âI know.â Daisy finished her wine after saying that.
Felix followed suit and drank up as well.
Then, Daisy poured another glass for herself.
Seeing this, Felix stood up abruptly, startling Phoebe beside him, âSorry, you guys chat first, I need to go to the restroom.â
âPlease, take your time.â Phoebe said politely, âBe careful.â
Felix drank too much, too urgently, and the wine was strong. Anna was worried about him but had to stay and accompany the guests, so she could not follow him out.
When he left, Phoebe looked at Daisy and said, âDaisy, are you alright? Youâve had so much to drink.â
Daisy shook her head, âIâm fine.â
Kevin looked at her with a smiling face and eyes, âOur Daisy can hold her liquor.â
Phoebe glanced at him but didnât want to pay attention to him. Daisy also looked at him and stood up, âIâll go to the washroom too.â After saying that, she nodded to Phoebe and headed out.
Watching her leave the room, Phoebe asked, âArenât you going with her?â Kevin looked at the room door and didnât say anything.
The washbasin in the restroom was shared by men and women. When Daisy arrived, Felix was washing his hands.
Upon hearing the noise, he looked up and splashed water at her, âWhen did you and Kevin Clark get together? Why did you get me drunk?â
âI canât stand the sight of you.â Daisy wiped the water off her face, âGive me the money for the mutton-fat jade, or give me another 5% of the company shares.
Choose one.â
âAnother 5%. do you want to control the shares?â
âI donât object.â
âScrew you, I object.â Felix Baker turned off the water and wiped his hands with a few tissue papers.
âPick one, or you can forget about getting your contract signed.â
ââ¦Fine, hereâs your money.â Felix had just gotten his hands on two billion but now had to give it back, âAs if youâre not getting enough from this contract.
Youâll even get a fee for the endorsement.â
That was exactly why she didnât feel at ease taking the money. After all, Kevin Clark was trying to get the endorsement for her, and the money ended up in her account instead.
âWait, when did you and Kevin Clark get together?â Felix laughed, âNo wonder heâs so hostile when talking about a collaboration with me. He probably thinks I have some ulterior motive.â
âDonât disgust me.â
âDonât worry,â Felix said, âIf you were the last woman on earth, Iâd stay single for the rest of my life.â
âSo naive.â Daisy Zane said, âEven if you were the last man on earth, no one would be interested in you.â
âYouâ¦â
âLucia. â
Just as Felix spoke, Kevin Clarkâs voice rang out. Daisy Zane had been leaning on the restroom door with one leg bent, but she instinctively straightened up as she heard him.
Felix swallowed back his retort.
âIs Third Master coming to the restroom too?â Felix revealed a gentle smile. But Kevin ignored him and looked directly at Daisy: âWhat took you so long?â âOh, I ran into a not-so-smart thing and chatted for a bit.â
Felix inhaled deeply, deciding not to argue with her anymore, and said softly, âThird Master, you two chat. Iâll go back first.â
After he left, Kevin turned to Daisy and whispered, âWhat were you talking to him for so long?â
âLong, was it long?â Daisy tried to hold back without retreating.
âYes, long.â Kevin could almost be certain that they knew each other, but he didnât ask any questions. Instead, he just said, âIâve been waiting for so long that I wanted Felix to just disappear.â
Daisy looked up at him, catching a glimpse of the fleeting ferocity in his eyes.
Realizing that she had noticed, Kevin immediately smiled: âBut Iâm afraid youâll get angry, so I didnât dare.â
Daisy turned her gaze away, pondering for a moment before saying, âKevin, reconsider the contract with Felix. Itâs not worth it.â
Having been called by his name, Kevin was thrilled and gently said, âItâs worth it, totally worth it. Donât worry, Lucia, Iâve got it all figured out.â
Daisy was about to say something else, when suddenly footsteps were heard from outside.
At least four or five people were rushing in.
Daisy instinctively took a step back, creating some distance between the two of them. But the next moment, Kevin raised his hand to grab the collar of her coat that she was wearing.
As he adjusted her clothes, he pulled her forward a step, pressing her against his chest.
One of Kevinâs hands was on her waist, while the other rested on her head. She was completely enveloped in his embrace.
âDonât move. A man and a woman in the restroom canât explain themselves. Youâre a public figure.â Kevin whispered in her ear.
Kevinâs coat was on her, with only a shirt underneath. Daisyâs face pressed against his chest, feeling the warmth of his body and his breath near her ear.
Suddenly, her heartbeat sped up again, and she felt a warmth.
People rushed into the restroom, stunned for a moment at the sight of the two embracing, but quickly averted their gaze and entered the menâs restroom.
It seemed they were looking for something, as only one person entered while the others stayed by the entrance.
The man quickly exited and then entered the womenâs restroom.
Luckily, there were few people on this floor, and the restrooms were empty.
Daisy couldnât see, but she could hear the manâs hurried footsteps and the sound of him opening partition doors.
Kevin had his back to them and could only rely on listening, only catching a glimpse of the manâs face when he entered.
The man came out of the womenâs restroom and reached for his cell phone as he walked away, accidentally dropping something from his pocket. There was a crisp sound, the sound of glass hitting the ground.
Kevin glanced down instinctivelyâ¦
The sealing bottle that fell on the ground rolled twice and ended up with the label facing up, which read: 319(i).
