Josie chuckled, replying, "Don't underestimate me, Ms. Shenton. I hail from a wine village and have a knack for holding my liquor." "Alright, I'll need you to accompany clients in drinking on my behalf from now on," Caroline said.
""No problem, Ms. Shenton." Caroline's phone interrupted the conversation, and she promptly picked up.

She smiled and confidently took a seat on the sofa facing Caroline.
"I don't feel the need for politeness when dealing with shameless individuals," Azure calmly countered.
Raising her eyebrows and locking eyes with Azure, Caroline asked, "Oh, is that

Caroline scoffed, leaning against the sofa. "What are you afraid of, Ms.
Miller?" Furious, Azure demanded, "Did you tamper with the cup?"
