Billionaire’s Mistress

There are not many people in the restaurant.

After the three of us entered, the restaurant manager recognized us at a glance and immediately greeted us with a smile, “Mr. Edmund, you have come downstairs to have dinner yourself.”

“Find a better place to see the night scene.” Oarlan told the restaurant manager.

“Yes, yes, please follow me.” The manager nodded and led us to the table near the window.

We arranged a place with the best view. When we were seated, the manager handed us the wine list, “I wonder what Mr. Edmund would like to drink tonight?”

Edmund ignored the manager, but looked at me, “What do you drink?”

I was still thinking about why Edmund gave me skirt. My mind was not on the table at all. I suddenly heard him asking me, and raised my head in a daze. “Ah?”

“The president asked you what to drink.” Oarlan repeated aside.

“Wine?” I filled my head with question marks, then waved again and again, “Thank you Mr. Edmund, I don’t drink.”

“Then Laffi.” Edmund looked up at the manager and made a decision.

Didn’t I say I wouldn’t drink?

“Well, our club just flew over a batch of fine wine from New Zealand yesterday. Here you are. Let’s try it first.” The manager said.

“Good.” Edmund nodded.

After ordering the drinks, the menu is presented.

Ordering dishes is my full-time job. Because Edmund ordered wine, I specially ordered white meat for him.

The waiter here brought us wine to taste, and Oarlan’s mobile phone suddenly rang.

He left to answer the phone.

Edmund tasted the dry white wine in his glass, tasted it carefully, nodded to the waiter, “Yes.”

The waiter poured two cups into the goblet on the table.

Seeing that there were only two cups, I felt relieved and gave the waiter a grateful look.

At this time, Oarlan, who answered the phone, came over and said to Edmund with an apologetic face, “President, Nat, the person in charge of the project team, has just been hospitalized with acute gastric ulcer, and the Moon Island’s bid is still in his hands. He was supposed to deliver it tomorrow, but now he can’t come, and I’m not worried about others. I’m afraid I will go back to City Y in person to try to get back at noon tomorrow.”Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Go ahead and tell Nat to have a good rest. Don’t worry about the Moon Island.” Edmund waved his hand and said.

When I looked at Edmund, I didn’t expect that he looked cold and serious on weekdays. In fact, he was very kind to his subordinates. He was a very human boss.

Just wait.

Oarlan is gone. What about these two drinks?

My attention was instantly on the two cups of wine on the table, with a pair of eyes staring closely.

Edmund’s body leans forward slightly, and his long and slender fingers with distinct bony joints fall on the instep of one of the goblets, gently pushing in front of me.

As expected, it is a blessing or a curse. It seems that I am doomed to have it tonight.

“Thank you.” There was a trembling smile on my face.

Edmund showed a charming smile on his face, raised his glass, touched my glass gently, and only heard the glass make a crisp sound of “ding”.

He put the wine to his mouth, took a sip, and stared at me like that.

I really don’t like drinking, and I seldom have the opportunity to drink.

At this moment, I smelled the strong aroma of wine with fruit fragrance from the cup. Before I drank it, I felt drunk.

Following Edmund’s example, I also put the wine glass to my mouth and took a gentle sip. The taste of alcohol made me frown instantly.

“Don’t like it?” He asked.

He likes it. I dare not say I don’t like it. “It’s just that I’m not used to it.”

At this time, the waiter began to serve. When I saw the food, my eyes lit up instantly.

Just I was about to eat, a middle-aged man who looked familiar came towards us, his face full of hypocritical smiles, “Mr. Edmund, what a coincidence! I didn’t expect to meet you here.”

Edmund frowned when he saw the visitor, and his face became gloomy.

I tried to remember where I met this man. At that time, the middle-aged man had already turned his attention to me. “Miss Leanna, I haven’t seen you for a few days. You are really more and more beautiful.”

Is that him?

At this time, I finally remembered the identity of the man in front of me.

Didn’t he just come to Oarlan that morning to see Hyman at Edmund’s side?

“Know?” Edmund looked at me and asked.

I nodded. “We’ve met you once.”

“Miss Leanna, last time we met in a hurry, we didn’t prepare any gifts for you. I didn’t expect to meet you and Mr. Edmund here this time. Just now my friend gave me a Persian carpet with very good quality and appearance, so why not give it to Miss Leanna for you to enjoy.”

Hyman said, and before I could refuse, he handed me a brocade box in his hand.

“It’s very kind of you, Hyman. How dare I accept such an expensive gift from you?” I am busy declining the other party’s kindness.

“It’s just a carpet. It’s not valuable. Just take it.” When Hyman said this, he looked at Edmund from time to time, as if to observe his reaction.

I can’t refuse, and I dare not accept it. I just look at Edmund facing me in embarrassment.

Edmund didn’t say a word at this time. He looked like an outsider with a good look on his face.

Hyman seemed to be encouraged by his silence. Seeing that I refused to take it, he simply put the brocade box directly in front of me, and then poured a glass of wine on his own, lifted it up and looked at Edmund, “Mr. Edmund, what we did before was really wrong. I was obsessed at that time, so I thought of such a bad move to you. I apologize to you here first. However, my father did not know about the drug. After he learned about it, he scolded me half to death. He was also angry and had a heart attack and was hospitalized. Now the situation is very dangerous. Please conhsider that my father’s friend with your grandfather for many years, spare us this time… ”

His apology was very sincere, especially in the face of Edmund, who was younger than himself, which made me feel uncomfortable.

However, I also understood from his words that Edmund was drugged at the club that day, and the middle-aged uncle was the culprit.

Edmund just lazily drooped his eyelids and stared at the wine glass in his hands all the time, but he refused to lift it. He was even too lazy to look at the middle-aged man in front of him.

Hyman could not get a response from Edmund, so he turned his glass to me, “Miss Leanna, let me toast you.”

I’m a little confused.

“That… Hyman, I…” I wanted to tell him that I could not drink wine at all, but I just moved my mouth, and he had already looked up.

“I botom up.” Hyman wiped his mouth and said.

I had no choice but to look at Edmund and hope that he could help me. However, Edmund still looked like an outsider. He was watching a good show and didn’t want to help me at all.

Forget it, just die.

I gritted my teeth, took up the wine glass, closed my eyes, and became bored after learning from Hyman.

At the moment when the wine was swallowed in my throat, I just felt like a fire was burning in my heart and the whole person was about to explode.

“Miss Leanna is a good drinker.” Hyman praised, poured himself another glass, and added half a glass of wine to my glass. “This second cup is a toast to our fate to meet again.”

Still drinking?

I want to refuse, but he drank all again.

It seems that I have encountered a hard problem today. My heart is crying, but I have to drink wine.

After the second cup, I felt my head began to faint and my whole body began to heat up.

However, even so, he did not intend to let me go.

The next three cups, the fourth cup, the fifth cup

After the last bottle of wine is drunk, I lie on the table unconscious.

“Miss Leanna, don’t sleep. Let’s have another bottle.” Hyman wanted to call me up.

And I can’t open my eyes in his call.

Edmund’s pov

“Enough.” I asked to stop.

Hyman looked at me and said, “Mr. Edmund, I’m sorry. I didn’t know Miss Leanna can’t drink like this. It’s all my fault. It’s all my fault…”

“It’s not the first time for Hyman to do things recklessly, is it?” I sneered.

When he heard the words, he hung his head down without refuting them.

“To tell you the truth, my grandpa was very helpful when the Hill Group was established. Now he has changed its name to King. Doesn’t Hyman think it’s good?” I knocked on the wall of the goblet in a languid tone.

When Hyman heard this, his face turned pale, and the sweat on his forehead went straight out.

“The King group is a big business, so why care about a small Hill group?”

“Yes, I didn’t pay attention to the small Hill Group, but didn’t Hyman take pains to give me medicine because he hoped that the King Group and the Hill Group would become one? Now I am willing to buy the Hill Group and become a subsidiary of the King Group. Why is Hyman not happy?”

“How can Mr. Edmund let the Hill group go?” He asked in a deep voice.

“It is impossible to let go.” I shook the wine in my glass and said, “However, for the sake of Hyman giving gifts to my housekeeper and drinking with her today, I can consider not buying the Hill group when its share price fell to the lowest point.”

“You…” Hyman flushed and clenched his hands.

Seeing that he was angry, I raised my eyebrows slightly, “Of course, I also mind spending more time to make the Hill Group worthless and then acquire it.”

“Young man, don’t be too proud. There is still a long way to go.” He gritted his teeth and glared at me for two seconds, then turned to leave with hatred.

After seeing t off, my eyes fell back on the little drunk cat in front of me, and I was in some trouble.

Originally, I just wanted to use the old guy Hyman to test her drinking capacity. Unexpectedly, she was so frustrated that she became so drunk after just a few drinks.

The waiter standing nearby immediately came, “Sir, what can I do for you?”

I looked at the tall, handsome young waiter and waved, “Forget it, it’s OK.”

Then, I got up and walked to Leanna, bent over to pick her up and walked out of the restaurant.
