After All the Hurt, She Chose Herself novel Chapter 315

He had heard she was at Evercrest today and that Graham had shown up too. Worried that something might happen, he had rushed over.

Raphael crossed the room with long strides and settled onto the sofa. "Carry on. I won't interrupt."

Aria pressed her lips together. Knowing Raphael had done this to stand up for her warmed her heart.

Since he had gone to such lengths, it would be a disservice not to finish what he started.

Aria pressed the intercom button on her desk, locking eyes with Graham. She spoke clearly and deliberately. "Bring in a bottle of strong liquor."

Graham instantly understood her intention.

An eye for an eye.

He had once forced Aria to down an entire bottle of alcohol in one go. Now that he was the one begging, it was his turn.

After the secretary hung up, she felt thoroughly confused.

Why did everyone suddenly want to drink in the executive office?

Gideon had given himself alcohol poisoning just yesterday, and now Aria was asking for liquor too.

But she didn't dare question the order.

She brought in the same type of liquor from the day before. The atmosphere in the office was bizarre. Graham stood frozen, looking like he was attending a funeral, while Aria remained icy and composed.

And then there was the man on the sofa, watching Aria with a gaze full of unspoken intensity.

The secretary practically fled the room after setting the bottle down.

Aria tapped her fountain pen against the glass bottle. "Mr. Adler, a thousand words are best expressed through a drink. I believe this is your favorite brand?"

Graham gritted his teeth and reached out to uncork the bottle. A sharp, pungent scent of alcohol instantly filled the room.

It was a simple choice: bankruptcy or drinking.

"Ms. Rowan, I was entirely in the wrong before. I offended you, and I ask you to be the bigger person and give me a way out!"

With that, Graham tipped the bottle back and started chugging.

Knock, knock.

The secretary's voice drifted through the door again. "Ms. Rowan, Mr. Brent is here."
