Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1704

Nancy hesitated. She seldom consumed alcohol, and she had no idea what sort of drunk personality she would exhibit later. She examined the red liquid in the wine glass in front of her, her mind a tangled mess.

Jory could easily see through her thoughts. He arched his eyebrows at her as he spoke, “Don’t worry, I ordered wine with low alcohol content. Just go ahead and drink.”

Since he said that, she could not possibly refuse. She proceeded to take a sip of the wine. A spicy and bitter taste instantly exploded in her mouth. Ew, how can anyone drink this stuff? And even be addicted to it!

“You don’t really drink, do you? Then, we shouldn’t come here next time.” Jory observed the indescribable expression on her face. Her cheekiness had left the building. In its place was dismay.

Nancy coughed a few times. “Don’t mind me. I’ve always imagined that the next time we meet, we’ll either start a fight or verbal warfare. It’s never crossed my mind that we’ll be here, sitting at a table in a bar, having drinks and a lovely chat.”

Jory continued to sip on his wine while maintaining a rather elegant posture, like one of those members of nobility in one of those eighteenth-century oil paintings.

Nancy was not a seasoned drinker, and she had no plans to force herself. Sitting opposite Jory, she simply put down her glass and, resting her chin on her hands, watched him as he drank.

“By the way, what business do you have with my father? I saw you in the elevator this morning and there’s something I’ve been wanting to ask you…” Nancy began. After careful consideration, she supposed she should not pass up such a good opportunity to dig up some answers. She might possibly be able to help Joan find out the truth behind the acquisition of Norton Corporation’s branches.
