Drunk

"Who is this beautiful lady?" Zack White who glanced at Lila asked.

"She's my secretary," Damien answered so precisely and swiftly.

"Don't trouble my grandson with questions." Grandfather White finally uttered.

"Damien, let me introduce you to the minister's daughter." Grandfather White added and a pretty lady walked out from Grandfather White's back to introduce herself as planned.

by then, the party continued after acknowledging Damien.

"Come with me!" Grandfather White ordered Damien leaving no room for excuse.

Turning to Lila and Chris he instructed Chris to take care of Lila while Instructing Lila to be careful and not to get drunk.

Saying that Damien strolled in the direction of his Grandfather.

Arriving at where his grandfather was, Damien sat down and waited patiently for his grandfather to speak.

"As I was saying, I want you to get engaged to the minister's daughter and you would have to agree today since you don't have any intentions to get married."Grandfather White said.

When Damien heard this, he had no intentions of talking to his father today about the marriage as he knew that he wouldn't listen.

Still mute, the minister began to speak.

*Ahem*

"As you have heard from your grandfather, I've decided to give my daughter out for this marriage." Minister Wilson announced.

Damien still kept mute which embarrassed everyone.

*Ahem*

"You can go to your fianceé's." Minister Wilson whispered into Erica's ear.

When Erica heard that, her lips formed a smile, taking Damien's silence for an answer, she stood up, strode towards Damien, and sat beside him hugging his arms.

Damien turned towards Erica and gave her a cold glare startling Erica who wholly removed her hand and moved a bit from him after noticing where his gaze was pointed.

Damien's personality had always been calm like the sea but erupted as a volcano when pushed to the edge, as an underworld leader, he had to hide all his emotions and stay calm to avoid alerting his foe.

Although everyone knew him as the CEO of White co-operation, only a few people were able to make contact with him, his family, and friends.

"Grandfather, I would be going to see other guests." Damien cooly announced and without waiting for any response from his Grandfather, he walked away.

"C...come back here, you unfilial grandson." Grandfather White puffed out in anger.

"Hmmph."

"Don't worry grandfather, I'd do everything in my power to make him love me." Erica walked back to him and rested on his shoulder like a good daughter.

Erica had always been in love with Damien ever since she saw him with her dad.

She always fancied being his wife and decided to tell her dad about it.

As the favorite child, her dad agreed with her decision and promised to do something about it, seeing this opportunity, she decided to grab Damien and make him hers no matter what.

Lila felt like her heart shattered into a million pieces, seeing Damien walk away, she had decided to accept her feelings for him.

"Hey now it's time for a dance, do you want to dance?" Chris asked Lila who has been standing for almost 30 minutes.

Snapping out of her thoughts, she agreed and they both headed to the floor.

The music started playing and everyone swayed with their partners to the tune of music.

Swaying with Chris to the tune of the music, she saw Erica walking toward Damien and hugging his arm.

She didn't know why but she just felt like drinking away the pains in her heart.

"I....i...I am sorry, I have to go." Lila withdrew her hands from Chris.

"Lila, where are you going?" Chris asked worriedly.

Lila didn't reply but just acted like she didn't hear him.

Walking to where the drinks were kept, she took a glass of wine and gulped it in one go.

Taking another glass, She gulped the whole wine in it, trying to reach out for another, when a handsome guy blocked her line of vision.

"Hey, you have to stop drinking, this is a strong wine and you might get so drunk." The young man conversed.

*hiccup*

"Don't worry, give me my wine I won't get drunk see I'm still stable," Lila replied a bit dizzy.

Chris who saw Lila drinking and noticing a bit of dizziness in her went to meet her, interrupting their conversation.

"Lila, what's wrong with you, why are you drinking?" Chris asked as held her from swaying.

Turning to the man opposite, Chris greeted him as an acquaintance, whispering a thank you, he took her away.

Lila still looked elegant on the surface not looking like a person who just got drunk.

Walking with Chris, she noticed that some men were looking at her with greedy eyes and she felt so uncomfortable.

Because she only drank 2 glasses, her senses remained a bit intact, knowing that she might do crazy things when she gets drunk, she requested to go home.

*Hiccup*

"Chris can you please help me out, I would love to go home now." Lila requested.

"Why, but Damien isn't back yet," Chris asked

"Oh, h...he can stay on his own with his supposed lover."

*Hiccup*

"I want to go home, I don't feel comfortable here," Lila added.

Chris smiled when he smelled jealousy but frowned she was determined to go home without Damien.

Holding her hands, they walked towards the entrance, taking out his phone, he sent Damien a message.

Meanwhile,

Damien who was discussing with an important delegate received a message from Chris and excused himself.

Walking out of the party hall, Damien's heart panicked and without saying bye to anyone, he walked away.

When the ladies saw Damien walking out, they were so disappointed because Damien didn't glance at them for once and it was already rumored about the Minister's daughter was his fiancee today.

Walking towards the Maybach car, he saw Chris holding up to Lila as her last sanity had already been covered by the wine.

"I'd take it from here"
