Chapter 13 Kind People
Lawrence blushed and immediately answered back. “No, not at all, ……”
I am not the type of person who likes to owe other people. Lawrence is a very professional and talented architecture, and he was working under Lance, I didn’t want him to upset his boss.
“White wine? No problem.” I raised the bottle of white wine in front of me and poured it into a new glass. I looked at Lance, as if challenging him and asked: “It this enough?”
Lance grinned and nodded: “Of course, what a strong lady.”
I finished the wine in one gulp, it burned my throat down to my stomach I could even felt ,y tears forming in my eyes. I’ve never been brave enough to drink white wine last time, I only drank red wine or beer when I need to entertain my clients.
I immediately felt discomfort in my stomach. I turned the glass upside down and asked Lance: “Can I go now?”
My body was shaking.
One of Lance’s hand was on the back of my chair, he looked up at me, who was standing. He looked the cocky I wanted to smack him. “Don’t you know you have to drink 3 glasses? It’s a tradition.”
I knew Lance wouldn’t just let me go easily.
“Yea, you have to cheers three glasses, or else it means you are looking down on us.” The rest of them started to kiss Lance’s ass.
I stared at Lance and said: “3 glasses, fine.”
I drank the white wine and when I was about to finish the last glass, Lawrence stood up and spoke up: “Mr Mason, why not allow me to drink the last glass for Ms Gomez?”
Lance glanced at me and smirked: “Help her drink? What is your relationship with her?”
Lawrence blushed, looking at me he said: “No, I just felt that this is a little unfair to a lady, Mr Mason.”
“Unfair?” Lance raised an eyebrow. “Jennie, am I being unfair to you?”
There’s always a few kind people out there. I’m really grateful that Lawrence decided to help me, but I couldn’t say that Lance was being unfair to me, or else everyone around was going to suspect my relationship with Lance.
