Chapter 1891
"Jefferson, those wines are your valuable collections. Are you sure you're willing to let us drink them to our hearts' content?" Tommy and the others had long been eyeing the wines Jefferson had kept in Charm Club, but none of them dared to touch it without his permission.
"What's the purpose of the wine if it's not for drinking?" Jefferson glanced at Tommy coldly. He couldn't blame Tommy for asking that question, either. The few bottles of wine he stored there were all the last of its kind. It's not something that could be bought even if one had money. However, since Little Specky wanted to drink, he would be more than willing to let her drink with the few of them.
Everyone knew how valuable Jefferson's wine was, so Tommy and the others were reluctant to order the waiter to take them. Instead, they went to take it themselves. "Jefferson, I'm really going to open this bottle of wine. Are you really sure about this?"
"You talk too much." Jefferson felt that Tommy and the others were becoming more insensible and chatty as they grew older. "Are you trying to make me open it myself?"
Tommy reacted quickly and uttered, "Oh, of course not. It's such a good wine, let me have the honor, okay?"
After opening it, Tommy thoughtfully poured Adrienne a glass of wine. "Adrienne, we're able to drink Jefferson's collection today solely because of you. You really are our little angel."
"Who's your little angel!?" Jefferson scolded.
"No, let me say it again. Adrienne is a little angel who only belongs to Jefferson." Tommy laughed as he corrected himself. Jefferson was a good person all around, but he was rather petty when it came to Adrienne's matters. They grew up together, so naturally, they knew how much he cared about Adrienne. Therefore, who would dare to set their eyes on Adrienne?
Just as they were arguing, Adrienne raised her wine glass and proposed a toast, "To all the guys here, and Freya, thank you for the care all these years. You guys are the ones who taught me how pure and beautiful a friendship could be. Thank you very much. Bottoms up!"
After that, Adrienne raised her glass and gulped it down in one go. "Thank you guys."
Cough! Cough! Cough!
Since she hadn't been drinking for a long time, she choked and couldn't stop coughing. Jefferson went to pat her back in a hurry and chided, "Why are you drinking it in such a hurry? No one's trying to steal it from you."
"I'm fine. As long as everybody is here, I will be fine no matter how much I drink." Adrienne then looked at Jefferson, "I was wary about you before this, but I'm not afraid of you anymore."
Jefferson was speechless. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
The rest of the people were also well aware of the situation.
After drinking some wine, Adrienne became much more chatty. "Can you guys tell me why there is such a cruel person in this world? His granddaughter is just 15 years old, but he still killed her with such merciless means."
The other few people were lost for words, too.
Jefferson replied, "Let's not talk about work during off-hours, okay?"
"Alright, then let's drink." Adrienne raised her glass and got closer to Freya. "Freya, let's have a toast."
"Sure!" Freya raised her glass and drank as she cheered. After finishing the glass of wine, she immediately poured herself another serving. Seeing that, Freddy frowned and commented in a worry, "Freya, you shouldn't drink too much."
Freya let out a cold sneer, "What does it have to do with you?"
Although Freya was always overbearing with Freddy, she wouldn't have said that in usual times. All the men present sensed that things weren't right, but the slow Adrienne wasn't able to perceive the atmosphere as she chimed in, "Yes, since we girls never controlled you boys when you drink, then you shouldn't control us when we drink too."
Freddy parted his lips and wanted to say something, but he didn't. Instead, he raised his glass and emptied its content at one go.
After drinking a few glasses of wine consecutively, Freya became a little tipsy. "Oh, Adrienne, there are many people in this world who can't be seen through easily. Keep this in mind, Adrienne. Make sure you actually know him or her well before you trust them."
"You're right, Freya." In fact, Adrienne suggested they go to the club that day not because she wanted to have fun. It was because there was something weighing on her mind and she needed something to distract herself. "There are many people in the world who want to stay by their loved ones but weren't able to do so. But those who have the opportunity to do so actually choose to ruin everything. D*mn it!"
Freya continued, "It's true that humans are really unpredictable. There are many bad people in this world, but there are also many good people too. So we really shouldn't tar them with the same brush. Although some people don't take love and friendship seriously, some still do. For example, our Jefferson."
The two women were pouring their hearts out, as if all the men present were invisible.
Jefferson who sat next to Adrienne was calm. He didn't stop her from drinking, but he was gazing at her with his deep eyes. It was as if he was planning something.
Freddy was also looking at Freya. He wanted to grab the glass of wine away from her several times. Yet, in the end, he did not reach out his hand.
"Freya, Freddy, Bruce, Tommy..." After calling out their names one by one, Adrienne belched. Everyone thought that she would call out Jefferson's name next, but she continued, "I, Adrienne, will definitely remember the kindness you guys showed me. I treat you guys as my family in the past, and I will continue to do so in the future. You guys will always be my family."
Once again, Jefferson was left out, and his face fell. He warned, "Little Specky, don't go too far."
"Don't go too far?" Adrienne didn't care about how Jefferson felt at all. She held the glass and laughed. "So what if I did? Are you going to eat me?"
Jefferson clenched his fists. "You think I wouldn't dare to do that?"
"Jeff..." When Jefferson was on the verge of spanking her butt, Adrienne's soft and gentle voice sounded again which melted Jefferson's heart. "It's not that you don't dare, but you couldn't bring yourself to do that to me."
Jefferson was caught off guard.
This woman!
It was indeed true that he could never bring himself to do that to her.
Just when Jefferson was overjoyed, Adrienne did something even more outrageous.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him on the cheek. "Jeff, this is the reward that your Little Specky is bestowing upon you. Do you like it?"
Jefferson froze, and his heartbeat accelerated!
This little idiot! Did she not know that she was playing with fire?
Nevertheless, Adrienne wasn't aware of that. She rubbed her soft body against his chest and teased, "Since you didn't say anything, I'll assume that you like it then."
Her eyes were crystal clear, with a hint of slyness, which made Jefferson think she was doing it on purpose.
Nonetheless, according to his understanding of her, she would not have the courage to do so. However, he wasn't able to say for sure now that she was drunk.
Jefferson's body was tensed up. He wanted to push her away, but his hands couldn't help but feel her in his arms. His rationality was completely broken at that instant.
Adrienne, who was drunk, did something even more outrageous. She slipped her hand under Jefferson's top and said, "Jeff, why aren't you saying anything? Are you angry at me?"
