Chapter 665 A Dinner Party (4) Out of Control

"Fuck." Susan scolded Manuel silently.

Manuel just left her alone.

She had no problem drinking, but it was not her strong point to cope with such a group of old men.

When she was about to leave, a man inside noticed her. He rushed forward to take her back to her position enthusiastically, and said, "You finally came back, Miss Phillips. We've been waiting for you. It looks like you are not drunk. Let me give you another toast."

Then he filled Susan's glass to the very brim.

While she was drinking, she cursed Manuel for his unkindness.

After a few drinks, she saw Manuel come back suddenly. And he sat beside her with no emotion on his face. He looked very normal.

So where had this man been just now?

"Mr Johnson, I thought you have left." Stephen Stern, the officer of the City Hall, joked.

"Mr Stern, you must be joking. How could I leave without saying goodbye? I just received an important phone call so we talked for a while." Manuel explained.

"What important phone call? Was it your girlfriend?" Stephen asked.

"No." Manuel denied.

"Are you seeing anyone now?"

"I'm busy now. I have no plans about that now."

"It's different." Stephen disagreed, "But you are young. It's OK to develop your career. But if you meet a good girl, you should seize the opportunity."

"OK." Manuel nodded and was not interested in this subject.

"My daughter just graduated from college this year and is taking an examination in the City Hall. I guess she will also take my position. When there is time, you can meet my daughter and give her some advice."

"It's my honour," Manuel said.

Susan listened to their conversation and didn't have any emotion. She knew Stephen was introducing his daughter to this young talent in banking.

Susan didn't drink much later and waited for the end of the dinner. Indeed, she remembered what Manuel had told her in the toilet, and she shouldn't be utterly careless of her health.

After 9 o'clock, the atmosphere in the private room cooled down because of the drunken people.

When Susan thought she could finally leave, someone said abruptly, "Mr Stern, it's still early. I just booked a private room in a club. Let's go and have more drinks."

"It's getting late..."

"It's not late. The night has just started. Let's go. I have arranged the cars." The man was positive.

Obviously, Stephen wanted to drink as well and he looked around. Everyone else understood his meaning immediately and said, "Yes. It's still early. Mr Johnson and Miss Phillips are sober now. Let's have more drinks."

After a few words, Stephen agreed.
