Chapter 162

He put down his fork and let out a dramatic sigh. “You probably know how tough our industry is right now. Those two trial ads you ran last time still haven’t shown any results.”

Vivian had reviewed the metrics that afternoon.

If the numbers hadn’t been terrible, they wouldn’t be having this dinner tonight.

“Then you need to help us think of a solution, Harry.” She smiled, topping off his wine glass/ before clinking hers against it. “You see, with zero traction, we can’t exactly give our brand partners a solid answer.”

“Your business is my business, Vivian. Of course, it’s not a problem!”

Up this close, the woman’s radiant complexion was flawless.

Flushed from the wine, her features took on a soft, rosy hue. Her exquisite eyes, nose, and lips-everything about her radiated a captivating, bewitching charm.

Gritting his teeth, he grabbed the glass and downed it in one go.

After finishing the drink, Harrison seemed completely uninhibited, constantly reaching out to grope Vivian.
