This was the moment she had been waiting for.

She quickly steadied him, wrapping an arm around his. "Did you drink too much? Let me help you to the lounge, okay?"

With a rosy flush on her cheeks, Rachel looked almost enchanting, and it was hard for anyone to refuse her.

Chandler furrowed his brow. Ever since he took over Galaxy Holdings Group, he'd encountered plenty of people trying to pull a fast one on him. But in just a few seconds, he sensed something was off; this
