"But I am confident I will be able to conquer hard liquor in this life. In the end, my great-grandfather and the following few generations ended up with cerebral hemorrhages. "They had sacrificed their lives for their dreams. It's just like when mountain climbers end up falling to their demise, or how divers end up drowning."Roger's eyes shone brightly. It was as if he was talking about something great, despite the topic being about drinking liquor.Priscilla couldn't stand to listen to his words anymore. How could drinking be compared to diving and mountain climbing?He was spewing nothing but nonsense!She was just about to speak up and chase Roger away as she was in a horrible mood. But Grace immediately stopped her when she was about to open her mouth.Priscilla paused. She was confused as to what Grace was doing. If she recalled correctly, Grace would scold Roger often. But why was she treating him differently today?Grace gave Priscilla a look, and Priscilla was even mor
After Roger left, Priscilla asked worriedly. "Frederick is now a capable man. We keep losing to him."Grace smiled, looking victorious. "You've been married to Frederick for three years. Have you ever seen him drink?"Priscilla gave it some thought before shaking her head lightly. In her memories, she'd never seen him drink during their time dating and throughout their marriage. The only exception was during their wedding, and even then, he'd only had a few glasses.Grace smiled in satisfaction. "He doesn't drink because he's a lightweight. And so what if he knows how to handle his alcohol? "Didn't you hear Roger? His family drank to the point that they suffered from cerebral hemorrhages. Even if Frederick can drink, he can't out-drink someone like Roger who drinks his heart out."Priscilla nodded. That was true as Roger didn't seem like he was afraid of the consequences of overdrinking.Roger seemed to be the type to drink his life away. In addition to his family genetics, sh
Seeing tears begin to gather in Olivia's eyes, Frederick was sure that those tears would stream down her cheeks if he remained quiet for another ten seconds.He couldn't stand seeing women crying, especially kind-hearted women like Olivia."Don't cry! I'm not angry at you."Hearing this, Olivia lifted her head aggrievedly and forced her tears back."Mr. York, are you telling the truth?"Frederick nodded in exasperation and patted her head. "Of course, I'm not angry. Since when have I ever gotten angry at you?"Seeing him pat her head, Olivia finally relaxed and a warm feeling spread in her heart.Due to the party being held after they got off work, everyone didn't have much motivation to finish their work. Team Two had even gotten off work in advance.Grace and Priscilla happened to be walking past Frederick's office and just so happened to see Frederick pat Olivia's head.Grace pursed her lips and said, "That scumbag never changed. He's just joined the company, yet he managed
After getting off of work, everyone in the company remained in the office as they waited for Ivy to finish with her tasks, all except Olivia.Although the celebratory party was for Frederick, Melissa seemed much happier than Frederick was.She had even touched up her make-up. She was glowing as a group of girls surrounded her. They were all joking around and calling her "Mrs. Team Leader".However, it was obvious Melissa was happy with the nickname. Otherwise, she wouldn't have purposely dressed up for the occasion either.On the other hand, Priscilla's expression darkened as she heard the crowd in Team Two's office keep teasing Melissa and calling her "Mrs. Team Leader".Grace sneered and said, "He's just a mere team leader, yet he's already appointed someone as his work wife. "If he were to become the CEO of a big company just like how you were before, he would probably find himself a queen or something.""What he likes or who he finds has nothing to do with me."Before Ivy
Marsh did not show his contentment on his face as he didn't want to alert anyone of his plans. He didn't want anyone to suspect him of being the mastermind behind what was about to happen at the party later, so he kept humbling himself and trying to appease Frederick.He pulled out a chair and patted the cushion symbolically before pushing it behind Frederick. "Mr. York, come and sit. You can come to me if you need me to do anything in the future. "I, Marsh Benson, am a capable man who is willing to do anything. I have an unreserved sense of respect toward you, Mr, York, is unending."Melissa's eyes widened and her jaw fell open as she watched Marsh's attitude toward Frederick.Was he still the same man who wanted to fire her and Frederick this morning?They were two completely different people!Marsh had also noticed Melissa and hurried over attentively. "Oh, my. Isn't this Mrs. Team Leader? Why are you carrying your bag yourself? Here, let me help you carry it." Seeing Mar
After getting in the car, a faint fragrance immediately waffled around the air.He watched everyone's envious gaze as they could only stand outside and wait for their taxis to arrive, while he could sit in the car of two pretty ladies. Not to mention, the two pretty ladies in question were his supervisors.Roger felt extremely happy and felt like he had managed to peak in life,Currently, Priscilla was driving while Grace and Roger sat in the backseat. Grace hurriedly told Roger, "You mustn't make any mistake or slip up later."It was Roger's first time sitting in the same car as Grace, and they were currently sitting very closely. He could smell the faint fragrance of Grace's perfume. Roger immediately felt his mouth go dry. He gulped gently and said, "Don't worry, Grace. Frederick won't be able to outdrink me. I've also talked to our colleagues and convinced them to help me get Frederick drunk. "If he tries to back out, we'll mock him for being a coward. I'm sure he'll ha
Marsh and Grace were both acting out of character.But Frederick knew that something was wrong with how strangely they were both acting. Not to mention, there was a hidden hint of cruelty within Grace's smile.While Frederick was dumbfounded by the situation, Ivy was overjoyed to see Grace take the initiative to make up with Frederick.She quickly walked up toward them and turned to Frederick. "Frederick, she's already taken the initiative to make up with you. As a man, shouldn't you be more forgiving?"Frederick sighed in exasperation. It was clear Ivy had no clue as to what was going on.But there were currently too many eyes on them now; he would look petty if he chose to remain quiet. So, he could only give Grace a small smile and say, "Alright. Since you've agreed to let bygones be bygones, then we shall let that be so."After that, he turned to the stairs and made his way up.Marsh was still standing by the entrance. He looked at Grace's back and spat silently, "Bitch, h
Everyone was stunned to see Priscilla standing up so suddenly.But then they quickly remembered that Mitchell was Priscilla's brother. No one would be happy to see their brother being discussed like that in public.A number of people in Team Two had also forgotten Priscilla and Mitchell's relationship.That was because Mitchell rarely came to work and would only stop by the office to collect his payslip. Hence, everyone only remembered his existence and had forgotten his relationship with Priscilla.Seeing Priscilla stand up suddenly, Ivy thought Priscilla would argue with her just like how she did in her office some time ago.In truth, Ivy had only planned to assure everyone. After all, it would be hard for her to lead a team full of unmotivated workers.After taking Priscilla's feelings into consideration, she had avoided mentioning Mitchell's name. But she did not expect everyone to start discussing the situation the second she finished her sentence.Grace knew Priscilla had
