He wondered why Angeline was with Danny Reilly, the head of Vitality Biotech Group's Lonla Division.
Ned was brought back to his senses by the honk coming from behind. He turned the steering wheel, parked his car on the roadside, and headed toward Angeline and Danny.
"Could you walk properly, Danny?" Angeline struggled to help Danny down the stairs.
"Tell me, boss! Do you think I, Danny Reilly, look unflattering?" Danny said drunkenly. "When I was at Cantabrigiae University, many people were pursuing me! But why? Why doesn't she like me? Why wouldn't she like me?"
Danny waved a finger before Angeline while hugging Angeline's neck and continued, "I have never, ever in my life messed around in my relationship in my life. I've only liked one person. Just one!
"Boss, tell me! Are all talented women like you this arrogant?"
"Danny, please! If you keep stumbling like this, I'm going to film your drunk look and show it to Heather!" Angeline warned. "Heather has always thought you look too young and childish for her. Do you think she'll dislike you more if she sees how immature you are and how you're acting crazily when you're drunk?"
"Mr. Reilly!" Ned took a quick look at Angeline and reached his hands to hold Danny. "Why are you alone, Mr. Reilly? I thought you were having dinner with Vitality Biotech Group's founder tonight?"
"Oh, it's you, Mr. Fletcher!" Danny nodded with his remaining sobriety when he saw Ned. "Yes, I was having dinner with my boss…"
Danny pointed at Angeline with a drunk grin. "Let me introduce you to her. She is—"
"It's okay, Mr. Reilly. We've known each other," Angeline interrupted and pinched Danny on his waist. She didn't want Ned to know she was the founder of Vitality Biotech Group. "Mr. Fletcher is my ex-husband."
