Aaron blinked at her and he was quite calm with a casual facial expression, which even made Cathy believe that he had been familiar with such occasions for a long time.
There was a table of dish and they just had a little. The other party began to raise the glass.
Someone stood up, looked at her and said with a smile, "Manager Lawson, you're the only woman in today's party. No matter how, we should propose a toast to first."
"No, no, no... Mr. Bruno, you are very kind. How can I make you toast?" Cathy also stood up politely, smiling on surface, feeling cold in her heart.
At the beginning, the other party was so ruthless that they had blocked all her roads for retreating. The director advised all the people to toast her. No matter how admirable she was, she couldn't get away with it for any reason. And once they drank the first glass of wine, the three of them would have to be drunk tonight.
Compared with these smooth operators in the workplace, she was obviously not experienced enough. It was clear that these people wanted to bully them.
But... There is no way to retreat. And Nick and Aaron did not know that she could not drink now.
Mr. Bruno laughed happily and said, "We are all friends. there is no difference that which one toast the other one."
Thinking over for one or two seconds, Cathy shallowly lifted his lips and clinked the glass with him, "Mr. Bruno, you are is right. Now that Vanten Technology Company has cooperated with your company, of course, we are all friends."
After that, she lifted her chin slightly, took a deep breath and drank a whole glass of wine with her eyes closed.
Most of these people were frequent customers of dinner parties. They didn't like to drink red wine at all. Simple and crude white wine was more convenient.
Cold liquid poured into the throat, Cathy felt a sense of burning.
Cathy restrained herself, but the strong discomfort made her frown.
"Manager Lawson is really good at drinking." Mr. Bruno smiled even more dreadfully.
Cathy suppressed the discomfort in her throat, pulled her lips and said seriously and jokingly, "If I don't finish the first glass of wine you toast, it is sure that I will make all of you and Mr. Bruno lose face. But I'm a woman, naturally, I am not better at drinking than Mr. Bruno. Please be kind in mercy, and Mr. Brown himself will accompany you next time."
She deliberately mentioned Mr. Brown. All the people were sophisticated. What she meant by saying that had been very clear. If they want to continue to be aggressive, she could only go to the company and deal with this thing.
But the other party didn't seem to recognize what she said. Manager Hill sat down, touched the grease on his mouth and put down his chopsticks. He laughed and said, "Manager Lawson, you are going to be disappointed. This is just the beginning. This time you come to New York, no matter how, we should try our best to treat you. If Mr. Brown, he cannot go back until he is drunk tonight."
