Drunk

"That was not what I was going to say" Eric was still holding her gaze, watching her get nervous at his half words. Her eyes were holding a glare and at the same time silently pleading with him which made him annoyed. She was scared of getting caught. Scared of her husband knowing about the one night stand she had with him on the day of her wedding and he didn't like that one bit.

He wondered why he felt so annoyed. It might be because he hated others touching his things. He usually mercilessly dealt with anyone who dares to touch what he had coveted and he wondered what he should do with this one.

How should he kill him? Or torture him? Or make him leave her? He didn't care one bit if they were happily in love. She had already involved herself with him that night and he wasn't going to let go now. Not until he was done and tired and bored of her.

"Miss Gianna" Eric called slowly, ignoring the fact that it was supposed to be Mrs. He watched the frown that appeared on her husband's face and the slight anxiousness in her eyes as she played with her fingers. His lips raised as he said "How do you like becoming my personal assistant?"

Gianna looked sharply at him. She was shocked that he was offering this position to her when he already had a personal assistant? What was he planning? She was going to say she didn't want the position but thinking about something, her eyes brightened. Perhaps this was the opportunity she had been waiting for. Working closely with him, she will be exposed more to the business world, she could learn a lot of things too but… With him, she doubted it was going to be that easy.

By offering this position to her, she was sure that he wanted to achieve something and she will make sure he fails. She had to steel herself if she was going to accept the position he was suddenly offering "Why?" She asked and she regretted asking immediately when she saw the smile that appeared in his eyes. She knew his answer will be nothing good.

"Because that way, I get to see your face every day and I doubt you will have the chance to do any other thing"

He was bold in front of her supposed husband and she knew he didn't care. She could feel the look Henry was giving her and Ivy was pinching her in nervousness of being in front of people like this. She opened her mouth to speak but she heard Henry cleared his throat first.

"I'm sorry but your words sounds a bit ambiguous. It could make one start to imagine things" Henry chuckled at the end. Still keeping his polite tone.

"Ambiguous? I thought I was very clear" His dark eyes was now staring at Henry as if trying to pierce through him, there was something intimidating in them that made Henry unable to continue holding his gaze "I'm curious… What kind of things did you imagine, Mr. Wilson? " He smiled.

So it was like this? Henry felt his fist clench. This man hadn't invited them here for any fvcking collaboration. It was for Gianna. He looked up at the man, a smile still on his face as he answered "Things like you fancying a woman you can never have"

Eric chuckled at this and a hint of amusement appeared in his eyes before his lips curved in a kind of smile that said he was enjoying this "There has never been a woman I cannot have. Married or not, they all fall at the end and come begging for more of what they could have. What do you think of this Mr. Wilson?"

"I think that you're right. Women can be a lot of things in the face of what you might offer them but I'm glad my woman is not one to fall for such temptations" Henry stressed the words 'My woman' and saw as the man's expression hardened. He took Gianna's hands in his as he looked at her lovingly "Right, my love?" He asked and Gianna just looked away not even bothering to fake a smile. What did they think they were doing?

Henry looked back at Eric as he said "You mentioned about a collaboration with W. I'm wondering if that is still on?"

"Of course" Eric chuckled and clapped his hands. Soon different types of assorted and expensive wines were brought in and placed before them "How about we enjoy ourselves first?"

Henry looked at one of the wine bottles noticing it's alcohol content "All of this are quite high in alcohol. I'm hoping you don't plan to make us drunk"

"I didn't think you could easily get drunk by this tsk" Eric clicked his tongue "It's a pity then" He stretched his hands to take the bottle but Henry stopped him. Seeing the challenge in this man's eyes, Henry felt like he shouldn't lose to him.

He poured the wine in a glass and watched as Eric did the same.

"You go first" Henry told him, seeing the smile that appeared on his lips. The man was not hiding his intentions at all and this irked him. Did he think that he was nothing? Perhaps, if he had brought in a collaboration from bluedorm corps then his chances of taking over the company will increase. The board will trust him more and once Mr. walker was out of the picture, nothing will be able to stop him from achieving his goals.

He doubted if this person was really serious about the collaboration but he still had to try anyway. After seeing the man gulp down everything, he did the same.

"Alright" The blondie clapped his hands "Since you both have decided to drink, how about we place a bet too?" Rico wanted to help his friend too. Perhaps Eric might reward him.

He looked towards Henry "If you can drink more shots that him, you'll get a collaboration from bluedorm. What do you think?"

Offering a collaboration from such a big company wasn't as easy as this but Rico trusted Eric wouldn't let the bastard win. Not because he was good at drinking but because he knew the man never played fair. He would use any means to win and Henry just have to be taught a lesson.

Henry thought of this as an opportunity and he looked towards Eric, seeing him nod his head in agreement, he smiled. He was quite a good drinker. Though he didn't know about this man, he could at least try.

"Can you both stop this?" Gianna tried to intervene but they ignored her and was fully focused on their goal. She felt annoyed by this.

At Rico's count, they started and Rico couldn't help smiling when he saw how the man was gulping everything down. After three bottles, Henry was slowly beginning to get drunk and Eric remained perfectly fine as if he didn't drink at all.

"Is he even human? I don't think so" Ivy whispered to Gianna when she saw this situation where Eric kept wearing a smirk. His face was composed and he looked like he was enjoying this with every glass he took while Henry was already mumbling incoherent words as his head dangled while trying to find balance.

"He's cheating" Gianna told Ivy and Ivy's eyes widened "The bottles, they are different"

Huh?

Ivy looked at the bottles they were drinking from and she found no difference. Even the color of the wine was the same but Gianna could see it and Rico could too. That was why he was so confident when he offered that deal.

The difference was not noticeable except one looked carefully.

Gianna couldn't bear watching and quickly excused herself to go to the restroom. Seeing this, Eric finished his drink and also excused himself.

Leaving Ivy alone with two hot men and a drunk one in the room.
