“No, no! Boss, you’re the smartest person on this planet,” Assistant Ben declared with exaggerated sincerity, hoping to pacify Ethan.

“Hmph,” Ethan nodded smugly, a small laugh escaping his lips. “At least you know that much.”

Taking a deep breath, Assistant Ben decided to address the situation. “Boss, why did you drink so much? What’s the reason? Did something happen? And even if you wanted to drink, why come to my office to do it? Look at the mess you’ve made!” His voice was filled with exasperation. “It’s only because I’m your assistant that you’re getting away with this. If you were anyone else, you’d be fired on the spot for drinking in your boss’s office!”

Assistant Ben mentally facepalmed but kept his lips tightly sealed.

“What’s with that look? Am I wrong?” Ethan’s glare could have frozen a desert.

“Hehe…” Assistant Ben gave an awkward chuckle, forcing a smile. “Boss is always right.”

“Of course I’m right,” Ethan said matter–of–factly, sitting back with an air of authority. Then he frowned, his expression shifting to one of deep thought. “Tell me something, Ben. How is it that after drinking so much, you’re still standing perfectly fine, while my head is spinning like crazy even though I haven’t touched a drop of alcohol?”

Assistant Ben hesitated before muttering under his breath, “That’s because the one who’s drunk is you, Boss.”

“What did you just say?” Ethan asked, his tone exaggerated with disbelief. “You’re saying that I’m the one who drank all this alcohol?”

Assistant Ben nodded, his face a mixture of fear and resignation.

“Really?” Ethan gasped dramatically. He leaned forward, sniffing his own shirt. His eyes widened in horror. “Oh no! Oh no! This is bad!” he exclaimed, staggering to his feet. The sudden movement made him sway dangerously.

“Boss, please be careful!” Assistant Ben cried out, rushing forward to steady him.

“Don’t touch me!” he snapped before bending down to gather all the empty bottles scattered on the floor. With his arms full of clinking glass, he began walking unsteadily from one end of the
