Chapter 495
Stephanie saw Gracie stay silent, guessing she was pissed.
But she felt like she was so close to succeeding. So she pushed a bit further: "Gracie.. I mean, you're not drunk, for the sake of pitiful Maximus... Could you take him home?" Gracie glared at her and snapped, "Are you ordering me around as my boss?"
"If it works, then yeah, I am ordering you as your boss." Stephanie blinked innocently.
"Hey, Stephanie, you better remember this!"
After saying that, Gracie took a deep breath, bent down, and pulled up Maximus, who was clinging on to her: "Let's go... I'll take you home."
"You... are you taking me home?"
"Yes, I am taking you home!" Gracie's eyes were getting red.
A goofy smile appeared on Maximus's face, and he let Gracie lead him away like a lost child.
Everyone was delighted.
It felt like they had accomplished something meaningful today.
"Cheers!"
Everyone was in high spirits and had a few more drinks.
Eventually, even Stephanie was a bit tipsy.
"Silver Fox... Like last time, could you carry me home?"
Sebastian stood up and said goodbye to everyone: "We are leaving first; I've already paid the bill; you guys enjoy." He then looked at Ashley and Emily and said, "I'll have the driver take you two home later." "No need; I can take a cab home."
"That's necessary; otherwise, she'll get mad."This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
Ashley smiled wryly. "Alright then... Gillian, you and Maddie come with me later."
"Sure, Ashley!"
Gillian and Ashley had studied acting together, and Maddie started studying acting with the trainees
after dearning that Ashley was teaching at Steph's studio.
So they were all quite familiar with each other.
Sebastian bent down, Stephanie hopped on, and he straightened up and walked away.
As they watched their retreating figures, everyone thought... Although the pairing of a young girl and an olde man sounded weird, it oddly seemed to fit.
Older men seem to know how to pamper.
And even carrying her home-how indulgent!
"He really does love Steph, huh?" Ashley couldn't help but tease.
"Right?! Remember Steph's promotional photo, the one with the witch? President Ingram had all the negative comments online deleted!" Maddie and Gillian joined the conversation.
"Who is her fiancée anyway?" Everyone was surprised.
"Ever heard of the Ingram family, the top one among the four big families in B City" Dashiell answered with a smirk. Everyone was stunned.
"Wow, the Movie King, you actually know!" Gillian was surprised.
"We've met a few times."
"Since someone knows, there's no need to hide it... I'll tell you, Steph is brimming with happiness every day."
"So it's the head of the Ingram family... I think I just made him leave." Mr. Finnegan regretfully rubbed his nose.
"Mr. Finnegan, what's your relationship with Steph like usually?"
"Erm, pretty good, why?" Mr. Finnegan remembered how strict he was with Steph and felt a bit guilty.
"No problem then... This President Ingram is particularly tolerant of the people around Steph, so he won't hold it against you."
