The CEO's Empathy Pregnancy Pains

Chapter 275 Absurd Excuse

Why couldn't Emily drink alcohol? Michael didn't know either.

He only knew that when he saw Roger handing Emily that glass of wine, Emily clearly wanted to refuse.

At first, Michael speculated that maybe Emily thought Roger had bad intentions, so she didn't want to take the drink.

But Emily refused drinks from others as well. Thinking back to Emily's strange behavior and odd appetite these past few days, the question that had been buried in Michael's heart resurfaced.

Listening to Roger's endless nonsense on stage, Michael felt a bit irritated.

Coupled with the baseless speculations constantly probing his mind, he couldn't stay calm. He grabbed Emily's hand, pulling her out of the crowd to the resting area.

"What are you doing?" Emily was listening intently to Roger's speech on stage, thinking she might catch something useful. But seeing Michael's current demeanor, Emily realized she was the only one seriously working. "Michael, if you keep making a scene, it's hard for others not to look our way."

"Let them look if they want." Michael seemed indifferent.

Indeed, the president of Smith Corporation had always been fearless, never worrying about consequences.

Thinking of this, Emily helplessly curled her lips and asked again. "Go ahead, what's the matter?"

Emily stared at Michael, who suddenly became serious, with a hint of probing in his eyes.

At that moment, Emily instinctively knew what Michael wanted to ask. Just as she was about to avoid his gaze, Michael pressed on. "Don't think about avoiding me. I'm asking you."

"What?" Emily could only feign calmness.

"Why don't you drink? I remember you used to handle alcohol well." Michael asked.
