"Aren't you worried that your face will look bloated tomorrow?" The manager sighed.
"I'll be spending the whole day on the plane tomorrow, so no." Eric raised his glass and took a sip.
"Avery, do something. Eric can't drink.” Helpless, the manager sought help from Avery.
Avery did not want to force Eric into anything and said, "Just let him drink if he doesn't have work tomorrow! It's fine as long as he doesn't drink too much." "See? Avery says it's fine." Eric's lips curled into a triumphant smile.
Lilith poured herself a glass of wine and raised her glass at Eric. "Eric, thank you so much for flying here to helpdespite your busy schedule. This is my first trepresenting a brand. | am really excited." "Lilith, you have work tomorrow," Lilith's manager, Jasmine, reminded her, "but you should make it toast to Eric.

Avery was sitting next to her and immediately saw the screen. "Lilith, Ben is calling." "Are you two calling each other every day?" Mike teased. "When are you confirming your relationship? That old dude Ben sure knows what he is doing!" Lilith downed her drink and hurried away with her phone shyly.
"Mike, don't make fun of Ben. If Lilith really starts dating him, it would be really awkward for her!" Avery said.
"I will keep my mouth shut if Lilith says that they are dating, but she hasn't said a thing, though!" Mike glanced in the direction in which Lilith was headed. "Look at how flushed she is. Are they really dating?" "Honestly, he is quite annoying. He messagesevery single day askingto take care of Lilith. He sounds like her dad, but Lilith seems to like it," Jasmine complained with resignation.

They are all teasingfor it." "So what if they do? | will call you when | want to call you. Why are you scared of letting them know? Are you ashamed of me?"

" You toldto keep an eye on your brother and tell you right away if he acts against Avery, right?" Lilith gaped. "Is he doing something?" "He gave Natalie a large sum of money to build a branch in Bridgedale," Ben deadpanned. "I thought that he only said that he would go against Alpha Technologies to scare Avery, but | didn't know that he meant it. | wonder what provoked him." Lilith scowled anxiously. "What should we do? How can we stop him? Ben, can't you just talk to him?" "You think | didn't? He won't listen." Lilith’s blood ran cold at his words. After the call, she strolled back into the restaurant.
Spotting the gloomy look on her face, Mike teased, "l was just saying that you and Ben are officially an item, and look at you now.
