Chapter 172 A Hero’s Weakness
Lewis didn’t bat an eyelid. He glanced at her sideways. Although he was expressionless, Josephine felt the frostiness and warning from that glance.
Josephine’s lips tightened into a thin line. She covertly looked away.
“Chairman Alvarez, your assistant here looks like a student. Could she be a minor?” asked someone jokingly. “I’ve got to hand it to you if that’s the case.”
Lewis calmly looked at Kale Wallace, the man who spoke. “How can you tell?”
Kale was stunned. “Is she, really?”
Lewis chuckled; his chuckle was void of feeling. He said, “Given your abilities to drink, why would you need your assistants? It seems to me you guys can easily keep this up until morning.
”
“Haha! We’ve aged now, so it’s better to watch out for our health. We can’t push it even if we can. Besides, we’re here to meet up, not for a drinking tournament,” said Kale. He continued, However, it’s a rare occasion. Where’s the fun if we don’t come up with something new?”

“Well, you have a point. But…” Lewis looked at Kiran and said, “President Kiran, you said you were getting my assistant, but why this eye candy, of all people? Are you eager for me to embarrass myself?”
Kiran lifted a brow and replied calmly, “My apologies, Chairman Alvarez. I didn’t know you had other female assistants in your office. I only know Miss Vance. However, we can’t judge a book by its cover. Looks aside, Miss Vance must be capable, somehow, to qualify as your assistant. She might come out as a winner. Am I right, Miss Vance?”
Hearing her name, Josephine tensed up. She had never had alcohol before, not to mention competing against people like them. She would lose for sure.
Josephine didn’t have an answer and couldn’t have replied, even if she did. She could only look at Lewis.
She wasn’t the only one-everyone was looking at Lewis.
Lewis lit a cigarette and leaned back onto his chair casually. “What’s the bet?”
