“You’re too kind, Professor Shaw. I should be the one taking
three shots as an apology.”
Adrian’s lips curled, but he said nothing, just drinking it himself.
Mr. Reid had wanted to leave after that drink, but seeing this, he
could only let out a dry laugh and drink up.
As long as Adrian kept drinking, he couldn’t leave. He was
trapped.
When the Vodka in the liquor decanter was finally gone, Mr.
Reid was just about to leave.
“Come on, let’s keep going.”
Adrian reached for a full bottle and refilled Mr. Reid’s liquor
decanter and his own glass.
Mr. Reid’s expression changed instantly. He could tell Adrian
was doing this on purpose.
After a long moment, Mr. Reid managed to force a smile:
Chapter 194
“Professor Shaw, this… this…”
Adrian’s long fingers tapped lightly against his glass, making a
crisp sound.
“Don’t you like drinking to liven things up, Mr. Reid?
Tonight, I’ll liven things up with you.” .
After Adrian said that, he raised his glass and clinked it against
the one in Mr. Reid’s hand.
The only sound in the room was the crisp clinking of glasses.
Everyone could tell that Professor Shaw was not happy.
Madeleine was sitting right next to them, with a perfect view to
watch the drama unfold.
She turned her head, her eyes wide.
What was going on? How did she become his girlfriend just like
that?
It wasn’t just her; Rebecca herself was also stunned.
Getting a brand new title just like that, I mean, who gets it…
Chapter 194
“Are you trying to disrespect me, Mr. Reid?”
Seeing that Mr. Reid hadn’t raised his glass, Adrian shot him a
dangerous look.
“Not at all, not at all. You’re being too serious, ‘Professor Shaw.”
Mr. Reid wanted to cry but had no tears, so he could only down
glass after glass of Vodka with him.
The Vodka was harsh and potent. One or two glasses were fine,
but after downing nearly half a bottle, Mr. Reid couldn’t take it
anymore.
“I… I can’t…”
He waved his hand, the glass in it trembling, spilling liquor on
himself.
“I really can’t drink anymore.”
“Can’t drink anymore?”
Adrian narrowed his eyes, looking at him with a half–smile. “But
it doesn’t look to me like you’ve had enough fun, Mr. Reid.”
“I have, I have!”
Chapter 194
Mr. Reid caught a glimpse of Rebecca out of the corner of his
eye and finally realized he shouldn’t have offended Professor
Shaw’s girlfriend.
He quickly and sincerely apologized to Rebecca again.
“I’m so sorry, miss. It was my mistake. I was out of line just
now, please don’t… don’t hold it against me.”
Rebecca didn’t say a word.
His stomach churned, and Mr. Reid stumbled out of the room.
The disgusting sound of vomiting came from the hallway just
moments later.
Everyone in the room looked at each other, remaining silent.
Mr. Reid was a big deal in the industry, after all, but he acted so
cautiously in front of Professor Shaw.
Most likely, he’d heard the rumors and understood that this was
someone he couldn’t afford to cross.
“Professor Shaw?”
Rebecca looked up at Adrian, who was still standing there, and couldn’t help but call out to him softly.
Chapter 194
Adrian lowered his gaze. He had also drunk a lot, and a faint
blush appeared on his cheeks. His eyes were much hazier than
before.
“Are you okay?”
“Yeah, I’m fine.”
Adrian said, returning to his seat at the table and downing the
tea Rebecca handed him in one gulp.
Throughout the whole thing, Madeleine watched with her mouth
agape, wanting to clap her hands.
“So sweet, so sweet, so sweet.”
Madeleine turned and nudged Roderick’s leg, whispering
excitedly, “Professor Shaw’s boyfriend game is on another level.
