Chapter 31 A Woman Who Can Hold Her Liquor

Paula’s face stiffened, and then she smiled even brighter,

She pretended to pull Viola to the side and whispered into her ear, “The three directors are all famous figures in Glory Group. Whether or not our company’s actors and actresses can get roles depends on them, so, Ms. Zumthor, please don’t offend them.”

Viola nodded, her face expressionless.

After Viola and Paula finished their private conversation, they politely turned around.

The three directors stared at Viola with greed in their eyes. Viola’s heart was soon filled with disgust

“Ms. Zumthor, you really live up to your reputation. You are not only beautiful but also have an outstanding figure.”

Rodrigo spoke first

“Thank you. I can tell at a glance that you are all elites in the Glory Group,” Viola said with a smile.

Paula warmly invited everyone to take a seat.

Paula then picked up the glass and proposed a toast to Viola. She said, “Ms. Zumthor, this is the first time you’ve talked about business in person since you took office. This is a toast to you. I wish you

success.”

A glass of red wine was forcefully stuffed into Viola’s hand.

Viola gracefully swirled the wine in her glass and sniffed. “Lafite made in 1982. It is really good wine.”

She smiled and gently clinked her glass with Paula’s. She then raised her head and drank it all in

one gulp.

Jagger began to flatter Viola. “I didn’t expect Ms. Zumthor to have such a deep understanding of red wine. What’s more, you are cool when you drank just now, and it added a lot of charm to you. Let’s clink our glasses.”

Viola asked, “Aren’t we here today to talk about the selection of actors and actresses for your new drama? Why don’t you mention it at all?”

“Of course, we have to talk about that. But we should drink first and talk about things later. Ms. Zumthor, you aren’t that kind of ignorant person, are you?”

The three men smiled and came forward to give toasts to Viola.

Viola did not refuse and drank one glass after another.

In the CEO office of the Caffrey Group.

Lawson knocked on the door and came in. He respectfully handed over a copy of Viola’s background information.

“Mr. Caffrey, our people carefully checked it three times. This is the final information. Please take a

look.”

Orlando took the document and looked at it a few times.

Viola’s experience seemed to be flawless on the surface, and her life was simple.

However, regarding Viola’s experience before she was fifteen years old, it only said that she lived in an orphanage. There was no specific story. It didn’t even mention the time when Viola was sent to the orphanage

Orlando couldn’t believe that even his hacker elites could not find Viola’s background.

Lawson had seen through Orlando’s doubts. He asked, “Shall we let them have a further investigation?”

“No need.”

Orlando closed the document and placed it aside. “She deliberately hides it. It would be a waste of energy to investigate further, but her background must not be so simple.”

Orlando strode over to the window and lit a cigarette. He looked outside.

Lawson opened the schedule and asked, “Mr. Caffrey, you have a dinner appointed a week ago. Do

you want to go?”

“Yes.”

Viola was still having dinner with the three directors from the Glory Group.

Jagger, Rodrigo, Brenton, and Paula kept giving toasts to Viola in turn, and it lasted for three rounds. Viola didn’t reject any of them.

Soon, they drank six bottles of red wine.

Viola’s cheeks were slightly red, which added a bit of charm to her, especially when the warm light shone on her. Her eyes were clear as before.

Paula shook her dizzy head and felt a little depressed.

She didn’t expect that Viola could hold her liquor. Jagger, Rodrigo, and Brenton were drunk. But

Viola stayed sober.

Jagger, Rodrigo, Brenton, and Paula couldn’t drink anymore.

Viola poured herself a glass of red wine and downed it in one gulp.

After that, she glanced at Jagger, Rodrigo, Brenton, and Paula with her bright eyes. Her smile was bright, and there seemed to be a bit of sarcasm.
