Outside the VIP private room.
Chad saw that people were gone, only Ethel with his own BOSS alone inside. He quietly opened a crack, eavesdropping.
He just heard this last sentence from Ethel.
He went pale with fear and immediately ran to the quiet hallway and called Lyra to tip her off!
If Miss Lyra was not coming, and his boss is drunk, what if another woman touched him!
The private room.
Malcolm was still holding Ethel's neck and sneered, "You're not worthy to compete with her."
As if provoked by these words, the smile on Ethel's face gradually disappeared and she was a little breathless by his strangulation.
Malcolm didn't have time to appreciate her reaction and withdrew his hand, "If you still want your position as the spokesperson, get out now!"
Ethel covered her neck, coughed a few times, picked up her bag, and left.
When she left, Malcolm drank several bottles of wine again. Because he drank too quickly, the feeling of drunkenness quickly overwhelmed his head.
He took off his gloves and threw them away out of habit, and his whole body leaned back onto the couch, drunkenly unconscious.
...
Lyra arrived in a hurry just in time to see Ethel who was in front of Peachpuff.
Ethel smiled brightly and took the initiative to greet her, "Miss Lloyd, what a coincidence! The party just ended."
"It's not a coincidence. I am here to find my man." Lyra's elegant neck was slightly raised, still in a noble and cold posture.
Her words at the end were an assertion of her sovereignty.
Ethel's face changed slightly, but quickly smiled, "Mr. Malcolm and you are so in love. I really envy. Then I wish you can always be happy. Live together till old age!"
"We will."
Lyra knew what she said was sarcasm, but couldn't guess how much she knew about the inside story.
Ethel said nothing more and was ready to leave.
As she brushed past Lyra, her arm was gently clutched by Lyra.
"Miss Ethel, I'm a little curious about the sponsor behind you. Is it convenient to reveal to me privately?"
Ethel looked flattered, "Miss Lloyd, you really want to know? If you give me Mr. Malcolm, I can tell you all my secrets!"
"It just seems like there's no need of talking, so you might keep these secrets for the rest of your life." Lyra withdrew her hand and gracefully folded her arms.
"It's not fun to hide it for the rest of my life." Ethel narrowed her eyes and smiled. Her expression looked extraordinarily innocent, "Miss Lloyd, rest assured that you will know my secret sooner or later. When the time comes, do not be too surprised!"
She gently raised her eyebrows, and her words seemed to have deep meaning. Then she quickly twisted her slender waist and left.
Lyra turned back and looked at her back with a gradually serious expression.
It was only when Ethel's back faded into the night that she withdrew her thoughts and turned to enter the bar.
Chad was anxious at the door of the private room, and as soon as he saw Lyra, he immediately rushed over, "Miss Lyra, don't get me wrong! It's just a party! Miss Ethel was invited because she is the spokesperson ..."
Not waiting for him to finish, Lyra was sullen, then bypassed him and went inside the private room.
Chad saw that she was obviously angry and could only fold his hands and pray silently for his boss.
Lyra entered the room and her eyes were instantly on Malcolm, who was drunk on the couch.
She walked over to him and sat down, patted his face gently, and called out tentatively, "Malcolm?"
No response. He was really drunk.
Lyra smelled his breath of alcohol and the fire in her heart was set off, churning and screaming.
This restless man!
Even if he didn't tell her about the party, the complications on his body only recovered for a few days, and he started to make mishaps!
And alone with Ethel! And getting drunk!
He got little vigilance. He was not afraid if Ethel would something to his body while he was drunk and unconscious!?
She had been distracted in the whole afternoon, even in the meeting. She was thinking about giving him a small surprise to convince him and prevent to admit her defeating so it could improve their mood.
Now it seemed there was no need! Absolutely not!
"Malcolm! I'll teach you today what it means to have a heart of evil!"
