After Divorcing my Captain Husband

Chapter 423 Stop it!

With composure, James gave her a look, and Chloe noticed a man in a plaid shirt seated diagonally across from her.

She patted James' shoulder, whispering, "Don't worry. I've got this."

As the dishes began to be served, Chloe stood up, holding a glass of orange juice.

"Everyone, we're all colleagues now. Hope we can have a great time working together," she said.

She downed the orange juice in one go, prompting an older colleague to tease her. "Chloe, why are you drinking orange juice? If you're toasting, you should be drinking alcohol!"

"I'm sorry. I'm allergic to alcohol. Please bear with me," she replied.

"Is that so? Then you should drink a few more rounds to get used to it!"

There were always those in the workplace who enjoyed pressuring others to drink.

Chloe chose to ignore him.

"Just focus on your wine. I'll ensure the entire restaurant is well-stocked with wine."

James' cold voice caused the man who had just pressured Chloe to drink to shiver.

Midway through the dinner, seeing everyone engaged in conversation, Chloe gave James a knowing look, left her seat, and approached the man in the plaid shirt.

"Hello, I'm Chloe. You're from the Marketing Department, right? Mr. Dale wants me to transfer there later. There are some things I don't understand. Can you explain them to me?" Men were most susceptible to flattery, especially from a beautiful woman like Chloe.
