100. Confused & Infatuated

Chapter 100

Confused & Infatuated

Although Barlyn felt this way, he did not act impulsively and quit his job immediately.

After all, he had just started his position the day before.

The thought of missing out on the Glacium Beauty made him feel as if he had missed out on ten billion dollars; his entire body ached with regret, nearly making him sick with remorse

Meanwhile, Austin was still vividly describing how amazing the Glacium Beauty was, making Barlyn feel even more regretful for not tasting it

Barlyn covered his ears and slumped on the sofa, his eyes vacant.

He was distressed!

Osborne noticed Barlyn's state and knew his plan had worked.

But he decided to up the ante.

He said, "Barlyn, do not be too upset. It is just a bottle of Glacium Beauty. I have something even better. Let me get it for you

Barlyn remained in a daze, not moving at all.

"Osborne, do not try to comfort me. That was Glacium Beauty! It is the best wine in the world. Missing out on it means I might never have another chance to taste it again. How could there be something better?"

"Just let me die in peace."

After Barlyn spoke, Osborne said with a faint smile. "Is that so? But my friend gave me a bottle of wine, and Glacium Beauty is just the most ordinary among them He also gave me something better. What was it called again?"

As Osborne spoke, Barlyn sat up.

"Glacium Beauty is the most ordinary? What are you talking about? I do not know who your friend is, Osborne, but to say Glacium Beauty is ordinary? And he gave you something better? I do not believe it!"

Osborne chuckled, "Oh right, I remember now. It's called–Systin. Yes, Systin wine."

After Osborne finished speaking, Barlyn froze

His eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Osborne

"Systin? The Systin that has been extinct for decades? The top–tier wine made by the thousand– year–old Systin family?"

Barlyn rushed to Osborne's side, grabbing his arm. His face was flushed with excitement, his body trembling, and his eyes sparkling

Osborne was speechless

Barlyn, being a true wine connoisseur, knew a lot about top–tier wines.

He nodded vigorously, "Yes, that is what my friend said! He told me Systin wine is almost extinct now. You get one bottle less every time."

"Yes, that is right!"

Barlyn was ecstatic. "Is there really Systin wine?

Where is it? Hurry up and show it to me. If it is Systin wine, it is definitely better than Glacium Beauty. You might be able to get Glacium Beauty with money and connections, but Systin is truly a rare gem!

"Quick, show it to me"

Barlyn was practically drooling

Osborne, not teasing him further, went to the car and brought out a bottle of Systin wine.

Barlyn immediately treated it like a priceless treasure.

"Indeed! It is Systin wine! And it is the most famous one, handcrafted by Master Amos Systin!"

"Oh my god, this is practically priceless!"

"If it were on the black market, it could drive countless people crazy. It would not sell for less than a billion dollars"

Barlyn was overjoyed, laughing heartily.

"I missed the Glacium Beauty, but to think I get to taste Systin! Is this God's way of compensating me? Quick, get the glasses ready!Austin commented, sniffing the air.

Barlyn said with a smile, "That is the difference between Glacium and Equitaria wines, Eastern wines are more subtle, like water, while Western wines are more direct, like fire."

"Alright, stop showing off. If you miss out on this because of an emergency, do not cry later."

Barlyn said while rolling her eyes

"This time, no matter what happens, I am not leaving!"

Just then, his phone rang

Barlyn's face fell as he saw it was Violet calling again. He suddenly felt annoyed and tossed the phone aside, ignoring it.

Osborne said quickly, "You should answer. What if it is something urgent? Ms. Radcliffe's safety is the top priority since you are the head of security team."

Osborne emphasized "head of security team" with a heavy tone.

Barlyn hesitated.

Austin also urged, "Answer it. What if there is an emergency? Clarissa's safety comes first. If something goes wrong, you regret it later."

"You can drink anytime."

Osborne and Austin both persuaded him, and Barlyn finally nodded and answered the call

Fearing Osborne might change his mind, Barlyn quickly uncorked the bottle.

The process of letting the wine breathe began again

"It smells so good, different from Glacium Beauty Glacium Beauty has a gentle fragrance, while Systin's aroma is more intense and direct"

Austin commented, sniffing the air.

Barlyn said with a smile, "That is the difference between Glacium and Equitaria wines, Eastern wines are more subtle, like water, while Western wines are more direct, like fire."

"Alright, stop showing off. If you miss out on this because of an emergency, do not cry later."

Barlyn said while rolling her eyes

"This time, no matter what happens, I am not leaving!"

Just then, his phone rang

Barlyn's face fell as he saw it was Violet calling again. He suddenly felt annoyed and tossed the phone aside, ignoring it.

Osborne said quickly, "You should answer. What if it is something urgent? Ms. Radcliffe's safety is the top priority since you are the head of security team."

Osborne emphasized "head of security team" with a heavy tone.

Earlyn hesitated.

Austin also urged, "Answer it. What if there is an emergency? Clarissa's safety comes first. If something goes wrong, you regret it later."

"You can drink anytime."

Osborne and Austin both persuaded him, and Barlyn finally nodded and answered the call

The next moment, he jumped up. "What? An expert sneaked into the manor? Knocked out two guards? Our warning system failed? We cannot locate the intruder?"

"Protect Ms. Radcliffe. I am heading back immediately

Barlyn said, rushing out without even saying goodbye to Osborne and Austin.

Osborne watched with a smile.

"Isa Hank, you are reliable!"

At that moment, Isa was sneaking into the Radcliffe Manor,

Of course, she was not there to assassinate Clarissa; she was merely 'employed' by Osborne to take a stroll around the manor's perimeter

If it were anyone else, they would be immediately detected upon entering the Radcliffe Manor, as it was equipped with the Draco Group's Class B warning system

But who was Isa Hank?

As a person under the Godfather, she was more familiar with the Draco Group's Class B warning system than anyone else and easily avoided detection

Barlyn, being the head of security, was naturally alarmed when he heard an expert had infiltrated the manor and that even the Class B warning system could not locate the person

Despite his love for wine and the allure of Systin, he could not stay behind; he had to return immediately to protect Clarissa.

Thus, Barlyn left again.

In the villa, only Osborne and Austin remained.

Austin could not help but chuckle.

"Osborne, it looks like the wine will be just for the two of us. When Barlyn comes back and sees the empty bottle, he might come after us."

Osborne smiled slightly, "He would not be back anytime soon. We can finish this bottle and let him have some tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Austin nodded eagerly.

"Good! I am already looking forward to it. Glacium Beauty was the best wine I have ever had. If this Systin is even better and more. expensive, I have to see if it lives up to its reputation"

After saying that, she poured a glass for both of them.

After taking a sip, Austin's eyes widened, her face flushed, and she began to breathe heavily.

"It is so hot!"

"So fragrant!"

Austin exclaimed. Osborne also took a sip and immediately felt a warm flame entering his mouth, accompanied by a rich, explosive aroma. His face turned red.

"Wow, it is really different!"

"But it is definitely good!"

Osborne and Austin drank deeply, feeling a warm flame in their stomachs, which made them both feel incredibly comfortable.

Their pores opened up as they drank more.

The more they drank, the hotter they felt, but they could not stop. Even after finishing a bottle, they still felt unsatisfied.

"I have the last bottle in the ear Should we open it?" Osborne suggested

Austin, her rosy lips slightly parted and clearly showing signs of intoxication, brightened up at the suggestion.

"There's more? Hurry up and open it. I want more."

She pouted at Osborne, as if she were acting coquettishly.

Her charming demeanor stirred something within Osborne, making him feel even hotter.

But he was also somewhat drunk himself.

Not thinking too much about it, he quickly went to the car to get the last bottle of Systin wine.

Soon, they were drinking again

As they downed glass after glass, their intoxication grew stronger. Neither of them was used to drinking and did not realize that such top–tier wine could easily get them drunk

They had already consumed three bottles of this premium red wine.

Austin's eyes grew increasingly dazed.

She felt her body burning hotter and hotter, as if she had turned into a flame Unable to bear it, she shed her jacket and tossed it aside.

"Osborne, let's time, Austin said, her speech slurred and her eyes glazed over. She was almost unable to stay upright and fell into Osborne's embrace."

Instantly, their bodies shivered.

Osborne felt as if a flame had ignited in his embrace, threatening to unleash his desires. He breathed heavily and looked down at Austin

She looked back at him, and their eyes locked.

In an instant, something seemed to ignite between them

Austin's eyes were filled with heat, her body trembling slightly

"Os…Osborne."

Her eyes were already blurred, feeling the masculine aura from Osborne and the heat of his body. She suddenly lifted her hands to wrap around Osborne's neck

Her lips, pink and enticing, found his, and she kissed him passionately.

Osborne was stunned.

He felt Austin's tongue trying to pry open his mouth.

The next moment, Osborne's body reacted in kind. He held Austin tightly, letting her tongue into his mouth, and responded passionately.

His hands roamed to her shapely hips, squeezing firmly.

Austin let out a soft moan, responding even more fervently. She tore off Osbome's clothes and pushed him down onto the sofa, sitting on his lap

Their breathes became increasingly heavy.

Their bodies pressed closer together until they were completely entangled, waves of pleasure crashing over them.
