Chapter 160 Drunk Christian

"I did not send it!" Claire argued.

Alex chuckled, clearly enjoying the banter. "Well, aren't you? Cause I still have the flowers and card in my office. That's very thoughtful of

Claire glared at him; her tone sharp. "I told you; it wasn't me. It's just something the company does. Don't read too much into it."

Claire took a sip of her drink, maintaining her composure. "I'm here to celebrate Talia's achievement," she replied coolly.

A smirk curled at the corners of Alex's lips. "Really? Not because it's my birthday?"

Claire stared at him as if he had lost his mind. "You're crazy, Alex. I think you've had too much to drink."

The spotlight swung towards Alex, and he shielded his eyes with his hands, Claire doing the same. The beam settled on them, and Alex forced a smile, raising his hand to wave. Christian's enthusiasm was infectious, and the crowd cheered. "Play a happy song, DJ!" Christian shouted.

Alex muttered under his breath, but Claire caught his words. "That idiot's already drunk. Can't believe he took my words seriously."
