Chapter 464 Bentley Is Drunk
Breenda cast a glance at his computer. "You haven't finished your work, right?"
"Can you wait for me for half an hour?" Bentley asked with a serious expression.
As their eyes met, Breenda's heart skipped a beat. She couldn’t help being attracted to him.
She looked away and compromised, saying, "Don't time out. Otherwise, I'll leave immediately."
"Sure!" Bentley returned to his seat and focused on the work at hand.
Soon, it was evening. The place of the gathering was a bar.
It was brightly lit and noisy in the bar.
When Breenda and Bentley entered the private room, they saw more than a dozen men and women having fun inside. It seemed that no one was absent.
Bentley had been obsessed with medical research for many years, and he had never meddled in the affairs of the McGraw Group. Naturally, he had never been involved in any social events.
The whole room was filled with the fumes of wine. Bentley was not used to such a place. From the moment he came in, he frowned and looked aloof.
Breenda could tell his inadaptation. When they entered the room, she turned around to stare at him and whispered, "Do you feel all right? You can wait for me outside or take a taxi back to my home."
After that, she put on a gentle smile and was about to walk into the private room.
Just then, Bentley grabbed her by her wrist and asked in a somewhat awkward voice, ’ Breenda, do you always come to places like this?'
Breenda looked down and hid the melancholy in her eyes. Then, she said lightly, "As the successor to the Callis Group, I'm responsible for developing it. Regardless of whether I like it or not, I must attend this kind of occasion."
She pulled her hand out and turned around to go to the room.
As soon as the people inside saw her, they greeted her warmly.
Some of them noticed Bentley, who was behind Breenda, and said, "Ms. Callis, I heard that you've broken off the engagement with the Hess family.
Is he your new boyfriend? He's handsome."
Breenda turned around and saw Bentley standing silently behind her.
She smiled and explained, "You are mistaken. He is my new secretary. It's his honor to meet you here today."
After exchanging the usual pleasantries, she whispered to Bentley, "Why did you come in? This place doesn't suit you. Get out.”
Bentley shook his head and said firmly, "Given you can adapt to such a place, I can do it as well."
Since he insisted, Breenda stopped persuading him. She took the initiative to hold his hand and sat down on an empty sofa together.
Bentley lowered his head and stared at the hand she was holding.
He felt her heat and was a little obsessed with it.
Lots of people came to toast Breenda. Bentley took her glass and drank for her.
After having several drinks, Bentley's pretty face was flushed. He began to feel dizzy and tipsy.
Breenda shook her head helplessly. Bentley had tried his best to help her, and he could drink more than she thought. After all, he hadn't eaten anything yet.
"Ms. Callis, it's a toast to you. I look forward to cooperating with the Callis Group."
Breenda regained her senses and raised her glass in a well-behaved manner. She replied with a smile, "I'm looking forward to it as well."
Just as she was about to drink, she was stopped by Bentley.
Although the latter's eyes were blurred, he insisted on drinking for her.
She quickly moved closer to him and said, "You're heavy. If you get drunk, I won't be able to carry you back by myself. I'll just drink a little. I won't get drunk. Don't worry."
Bentley shook his head and said sincerely, "I wasn't by your side before, so I couldn't help you with the things you didn't want to do. Now, I'm by your side, and I don't want you to worry about these things and force yourself anymore."
Breenda was slightly stunned. It was the first time she had heard him say these words. She couldn't help being moved by his sincerity.
While she was in a daze, Bentley took the glass from her hand again and drained it in one gulp.
Soon, Bentley paid the price for being stubborn. He passed out.
Breenda was lost for words.
