Then Curtis looked at Robbie, "Robbie, don't think I'm bullying sister-in-law. If you really take us as your own people, you won't care about these drinks? As long as sister-in-law is willing to have these drinks with us, I, Curtis, will do as you say."
I looked at Robbie and he glanced at the glass of wine in front of me and looked at Curtis, "What if I just think you are bullying my woman?"
Curtis was stunned for a moment, and then he let out a snort and said, "Then you don't take us as your brothers."
Curtis leaned against the sofa. Meanwhile, the woman next to him moved closer to the sofa and flew into his arms.
Curtis raised his chin at his woman and gave a hint to the wine on the table. The woman sat up and smiled generously. She placed the seven or eight empty wine glasses in front of her and filled them up, then she looked at me and drank one glass after another.
After the woman drank it up, she didn't turn a hair and still smiled. She leaned again in the arms of Curtis.
Cary was the one who was good at dealing with the relationships among them. Upon seeing this, he also broke the ice with a smile. "Curtis is a man of integrity. He has his own words. But if he doesn't agree, he really doesn't look down upon the interests. Jasmine, why don't you just give him a face? I know Mr. Robbie always protects women. But you can't spoil his good news."
Cary looked at Curtis, "You have seen a lot of women drink, why do you have to pick on her? It will be good when the woman is willing to do."
Curtis said, "I don't drink with those I dislike! Yes? I respect them, but they are despising me! "
Cary pretended to be embarrassed.
I took a deep breath and picked up the wine on the table. I raised my glass before Curtis, "I didn't mean to refuse. I just feel not well today. How about I propose a toast to each of you and stop asking me to drink?"
Curtis sat up straight and said briskly, "okay! I've kept my words. Drink it. If anyone dares to let you drink it again, I'll block it for you. What do you think?"
Robbie moved his body slightly. I could know his next move. In an instant, I put the other hand on his hand and turned his head to look at Robbie with a soothing smile. "It's okay. Even if I drink too much, you will still be with me!"
I said to Curtis with a smile when Robbie was abstracted, "I'd like to make a toast to you as Robbie's girlfriend. I don't know what had happened between you and Robbie, but I still hope you have a good cooperation."
"No problem."
I held the disgust for alcohol and the difficulty in swallowing, and reluctantly drank up the wine.
Curtis downed the wine in his hand without showing weakness. "Good. It's my first time to drink with a celebrity."
I filled my glass again and toasted Cary and Frank. I felt a little drunk after drinking several glasses continuously.
Because they were very close to each other, I didn't have to move and sat there to propose a toast. However, as Erwin was far away from us, he didn't care about the things happening here at all. He ate and drank by himself while thinking about something.
I hesitated about whether I should go to drink with Erwin. But Frank thought that I had forgotten him, so he reminded me, "My sister-in-law, there is another one. His name is Erwin. He's bad tempered, but he is good for Robbie's business. Don't forget him."
Cary took a drag on his cigar, shook his head with a smile, and complained to Frank, "He didn't agree to Robbie's terms, and he even said that he didn't want to be involved in our affairs. Well, he was sitting there alone, and I don't know what he was thinking. He must be out of his mind recently."
Frank cast a glance at Erwin and asked Cary, "Really? He refused such a discount unexpectedly. Isn't he a good businessman who can earn money most?"
Cary curled up his lips and shook his head.
