You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 39

Watching Irene eliminated all the male guests, Edric finally had signs of a smile in his gloomy eyes. He whispered a few words to John. Then, John went forward and said something to the host. The host informed all the staff and guests of the program, "Mr. Myers will treat everyone to supper tonight."

"Beware of Greeks bearing gifts." Kinsey curled her lips. "But if we don't accept it, it would be a waste. We at least have to let Edric fork out money."

Irene was amused by her. "Edric has very deep pockets. I bet he wouldn't mind spending some."

"Despite having so much money, he's still a miser." Kinsey snickered coldly. "I have never seen such stingy man. Even Grandet pales in comparison to him."

"Miss Miller, who are you talking about?" A low voice sounded. The two of them looked at Edric, who approached them some time ago.

"Someone who knows." Kinsey retorted. Irene reached out and pulled her, "Kinsey!"

She looked at Edric with a fake smile and said, "Thank you for treating us, Mr. Myers."

"I simply did what I should've done!" Edric said back to her. Kinsey was going to scold him again, but Irene took her and left quickly.

When they arrived at the private box of the hotel where Edric was going to treat them, the room was already full of people.

A seat was left beside Edric, and another beside John. It was obvious that it was intentional. Kinsey smiled coldly. Edric was inviting them right into his trap. She wouldn't let him get his way. She approached Edric nonchalantly, but John quickly stood up and stopped Kinsey. "Miss Miller, this way please!"

Kinsey was so angry that she wanted to curse at him. He invited Irene to Edric's side enthusiastically.

Although it was just midnight snack, it was the most extravagant feast in the hotel. The wine on the table was also the kind of high-end foreign wine that they couldn't ordinarily drink. People toasted each other, and the atmosphere was very lively at that time. Edric personally served food for Irene. There was a forced smile on Irene's face. "Thank you, Mr. Myers."

Although she thanked him, she didn't touch the food Edric picked for her. When Edric saw that, his eyes became a little gloomy, but he was very good at controlling his emotions. He immediately raised his glass with a smile, "I propose a toast to Miss Nelson!" "Sorry, I can't drink!" Irene refused.

"Today is a great day, and everyone here is happy. Shouldn't Miss Nelson drink a glass of wine?" John echoed. Kinsey stood up with a sneer. "Irene can't drink. I will drink it for her! Thank you, Mr. Myers!"

With that, Kinsey raised her head and started to drink. Edric had to drink the wine in his cup. Kinsey filled her glass herself. "Thank you for your sponsorship, Mr. Myers. I will raise three glasses of wine to you. Cheers!" Without waiting for Edric's reply, she raised her head and drank three glasses in a row. Upon seeing the bold way the woman drank, Edric didn't want to appear weak as a man. He also followed suit and drank three glasses of wine.

John's face became gloomy. It wasn't like Kinsey didn't know that Edric had a weak stomach. She obviously did this to stand up for Irene, but he was still displeased, so he raised his glass and said, "Miss Miller, I admire you very much. I propose three toasts to you!" Kinsey had a straightforward temper, and she immediately accepted John's challenge. Seeing the two of them drinking one glass after another, Irene became so anxious that she started stomping. Edric looked at them with a smile. He clearly knew how good of a drinker John was.

But what astonished him was that Kinsey's drinking capacity was about the same as John's. Looking at the two of them drinking one glass after another, Irene grew anxious. "Kinsey, don't drink too much."

Kinsey was too excited to listen. Irene looked at Edric. "Mr. Myers, ask them to drink less."

Edric was about to speak when the door of the private box was pushed open. The fragrant scent of Chanel perfume wafted in first. People glanced towards the source of the fragrance and saw a beautiful young woman standing at the door. With a gentle smile on her face, Lily walked in with composure. She looked at Edric tenderly and said, "My friend and I were having a midnight meal here. I heard that you were also here, so I came to see you!"

In fact, after she heard that Edric went to the recording site of the TV station, she couldn't sit still. So she drove to the TV station. She had been waiting at the door of the TV station. After waiting for a few hours, she saw a group of people going to the hotel for a midnight meal, so she also came. Lily's motive was very simple. She had to be on constant guard against Irene.

Edric saw Lily, they got up and stepped aside sensibly. Lily said politely, "Thank
