Chapter 46
“Is Is it?” Alyssa touched her face. It felt as warm as toast. She immediately looked away shyly. “Maybeit’s because I’ve had a little to drink.”
“Weren’t you on your way to the cellar? Your face is red before you’ve even had a drop.” Sean pointedout. He was an elite employee but an amateur when it came to real life. He had no idea that Alyssawas just feeling horny.
“You’re so annoying!” Alyssa rolled her eyes at him and walked off in embarrassment.
Sean was left standing there miserably. He didn’t know how he had offended her. He had no choice butto tag along behind her.
They arrived at the wine cellar. It held nearly a thousand bottles of red wine, all of which were preparedfor Alyssa by Jasper. He knew that she had a hobby of having a drink or two. (1)
Every bottle of wine was expensive, and many of them were limited editions bought at auctions.
Alyssa owned more than twenty bottles of some wines that even Winston didn’t have. If she were tosell them, she could afford two villas in Solana City.novelbin
Alyssa scanned the racks and chose a bottle of Romani Conti. She tiptoed to take it, but she stillcouldn’t reach it.
Sean walked behind her, and his shadow loomed over her. Then, he took the bottle of wine for hereffortlessly. They were standing so close that he could smell the sweet scent of her hair. His heartstarted thumping wildly, and he blushed. “Here, Ms. Alyssa.”
“Tut tut, how nice to have a secretary who’s six feet tall. I don’t even have to buy a ladder.” However,her ideal man was taller than six feet- someone like Jasper. Anyone shorter than him wasn’t her cup oftea.
She scolded herself for thinking of him again. The thought of him made her feel tipsier than wine.
“Ms. Alyssa, I’ll help you open it. It’s difficult for you to do it with one hand
Without a word, Alyssa smashed her cast against the edge of a table, and her arm came free. “It’s soclunky. I already wanted to break it long ago,” she said. Sean was dumbfounded.
“Back then, during the war, breaking an arm or dislocating a joint was just a small matter. I’vewitnessed people getting their legs blasted off. A comrade I had just been joking with in the afternoonwould be brought back with countless bullets in him and half his face gone in the evening.”
Alyssa calmly told Sean about the brutality of war with the expression of a person who had beenthrough life and death. Sean was shocked and could not imagine how a privileged and shelteredwoman like her had made it through those times.
Once they had let the wine breathe, messages started popping up in the Secret Society group chat.
Axel: “Silas, I’m busy, so I haven’t had the time to understand how a person in the judicial departmentlike you can also be so unbothered about everything. Did you know Jasper asked someone to hack intoour case files secretly? Thank goodness I reacted quickly. I’ve upgraded the security to grade S. Thatidiot is no match for me.”
Alyssa’s eyes widened in shock.
Silas: “F***! Does he suspect something?”
Axel: “Hey, why are you swearing at me? Show some respect!”
Silas: “F*** you!”
Axel: “You wanna fight? You couldn’t win even if I had my hands tied behind my back.”
