Chapter 118
So the two.c
quickly said, “Hey, secretary, what does it mean that
you only respect Mr. Humphrey and ignore the two of us?”
“Yeah, are we just decorations? Or is it that your little Clicks Media looks down on our company?”
“Oh, of course not,” I said with a smile, pretending to be silly. “One by one, I’ll toast you both after I toast Mr. Humphrey.”
They were originally afraid of Reynaldo, so I said to respect Reynaldo first, and they didn’t dare to say anything.
When I came to pay my respects to them.
Mr. Esparza deliberately spilled three glasses of wine and smirked at me, “It’s not fun to drink one glass at a time. Since you want us to invest, show some sincerity and drink all three glasses.”
After Mr. Esparza finished speaking, Mr. Schultz poured five full glasses of wine and said, “If you drink three glasses of his, then wouldn’t you have to drink five glasses of mine? This way, it will appear more sincere in front of me, right?”
In an instant, eight full glasses of wine appeared in front of me.
Actually, I wasn’t very good at drinking. When I was drinking with Reynaldo just now, I deliberately poured myself half a glass, and they didn’t notice.
If I were to drink all eight cups this time, I reckon I would have passed
out.

Forget it, anyway the main goal is not these two people, just deal with Reynaldo, their wine, if possible, let’s not drink it.
I was about to find an excuse to refuse when Reynaldo suddenly smiled at me softly and said, “They say you have abilities, but I haven’t seen what your abilities are until now.”
I looked at him intently and said, “So, what is Mr. Humphrey’s belief about ability?”
It was really ridiculous.
He had never looked down on me before, so no matter what I did, he would only think that I was worthless.
If that’s the case, what is he coming here for tonight? Is it just to humiliate me?
A touch of anger arose in my heart unconsciously.
But in my mind, his focus and madness when he was on me kept resurfacing.
How ironic it is.
He looked down on me while sleeping with me at the same time, what a problem!
I suppressed my anger and forced a smile as I pleaded with him for investment. “Please forgive us ordinary people for not meeting your expectations. So, may I ask, Mr. Humphrey, what do you consider as ability?”
Reynaldo laughed and casually said, “Well, let’s consider drinking. ability as a skill for now. If you can finish those eight glasses of wine, I will agree to invest in your project. How about that?”
So, he deliberately wanted me to drink those eight glasses of wine?
Winston immediately exclaimed to me, “You can’t, Ralda. Eight glasses of strong liquor, your stomach won’t be able to handle it.
We were once a couple, Mr.
Anton laughed at Reynaldo and said, Humphrey, why do you have to be like this?”
Reynaldo lowered his head and lit a cigarette. He threw the lighter on the table and chuckled at me.
“If doing business also emphasizes personal relationships, then it’s better not to do this business!”
This statement was obviously said to me.
The implication in his words was, isn’t he just mocking me for trying to leverage our past relationship to secure his investment?
Well, I never thought of relying on his connections.
Otherwise, he would have mocked me mercilessly.
Isn’t it just eight glasses of wine? It’s not something difficult, after all, just drink it all and you’ll feel uncomfortable for a few days.
I stared at Reynaldo and asked in a deep voice, “Is what you’re saying true? If I drink these eight glasses of wine, will you invest in this project?”
Reynaldo blew a smoke ring and sarcastically chuckled, “I never deceive people, unlike certain individuals.”
I mocked myself in my heart.
Isn’t his so–called “certain people” referring to me?

It doesn’t matter anymore, anyway, in his eyes, I was always a big liar.
“Well, Mr. Humphrey is the final word. If you can finish those eight glasses of wine, not to mention Mr. Humphrey, our group will also invest along with you.”
“And our company was too.”
At this moment, Mr. Esparza and Mr. Schultz also quickly followed Reynaldo to express their stance.
Winston suddenly slammed the table and growled, “Enough! Let’s talk about cooperation, but what’s the point of forcing a girl to drink?”
If you are willing to invest in this project, go ahead. If you are not willing to invest, I won’t force you either, but don’t take advantage of others too much.
