Mr. Sallow's Sinful Wife by Maisie Chasey

Chapter 172 Being Confessed

Suddenly, a memory of Toni’s earlier words flashed in her mind.

“When he was drinking just now, you were staring at him the whole time. It’s not just me; everyone noticed. I bet everyone else thinks the same way. Plus, everyone probably thinks that you fell down on purpose just now.”

As she pondered on it, she felt a sense of unease when she caught his gaze.

Not only did everyone share the same perception, but she also suspected that Julian believed she was intentionally seeking his attention and had developed a crush on him. However, time would prove otherwise. Since she genuinely had no interest in him, she had no need to explain herself.

With these thoughts in mind, Nancy averted her gaze and immersed herself in the game. Her colleagues continued to shout, “It’s your turn to drink again, Nancy.”

Having already consumed a considerable amount of alcohol, Nancy could only inform Toni, before getting completely drunk, “Take me home later, or let me stay at your house. Don’t forget. I’m relying on you.”

As time passed, she was given fewer drinks as her colleagues noticed her willingness to accept the punishment. However, she was already intoxicated.

She rested her chin on her hand and leaned against the couch behind her, closing her eyes in an attempt to find some respite. Her head was spinning, and all she wanted was to sleep and not think about anything else.

Meanwhile, Julian’s lips curled into a sneer.

He couldn’t believe that Nancy continued to participate despite being a light drinker. Although she didn’t consume much, her tolerance for alcohol was remarkably low. After just a few glasses, she was already drunk and barely holding on.

What frustrated him the most was the moment he entered the room. Nancy’s clumsy attempt to make him the hero and her unwavering gaze as he drank were all rather embarrassing in Julian’s eyes. He perceived her actions as manipulative. However, what surprised him was that his mother seemed to favor this girl. Out of all the high-society ladies, she chose this girl with a talent for mischief. It was simply unbelievable.

It had been years since Julian attended these new employee gatherings. If it weren’t for his mother overhearing his assistant’s conversation and learning that Nancy would be present, he wouldn’t have been compelled to come. However, since he was there, he decided to stay a little longer and discover what made this girl so captivating to his mother. Unfortunately, he was thoroughly disappointed with
