“Jennifer, you finally agreed to meet me.


    Just join me for one drink, alright? Later, I’ll drive you home to make sure you get back safe and sound.


    Please? I poured you the wine with love.


    I know you can’t just turn me down.


    Come on, Jennifer.


    ”


    Dr@per gave her a soft plea and looked at her with anticipation in his eyes.


    Jennifer couldn’t quite bear the intensity of his stare, causing her toy down the knife and fork and pick up the ss.


    Dr@per clinked his ss against hers, purposefully.


    The two sses made a clear, cheerful sound as they connected.


    He kept his gaze on her, waiting for her to take a sip.


    Sensing the weight of his gaze, a feeling tugged at Jennifer that something wasn’t quite right and she frowned suspiciously.


    “You’ve been so insistent on me having a drink.


    You didn’t slip something into it, did you?”


    Dr@per’s body went rigid.


    A jolt of surprise coursed through him.


    “Why on earth would I put something in your wine? You and I are engaged already.


    It makes zero sense for me to pull a stunt Like that.


    Besides, the restaurant’s the one behind the wine preparation.


    ”


    “You’d better tell me the truth,” said Jennifer, narrowing her eyes.


    She gave her wine a slight tilt and brought it to her Lips.


    Just as she was about to take a sip, the door to the private room swung open.


    A man walked in and collected the wine from her hand.


    She looked up, extremely shocked.


    It was Hilliard.


    “What are you doing here?”


    Hilliard didn’t utter a word.


    He brought the wine to his nose and took a sniff.


    From the corner of his eye, he cast a nce at the man beside him.


    Dr@per swallowed hard and tried to maintain hisposure.


    “Who are you? I reserved this room, and you’re barging in uninvited.


    Please leave!”


    He stood up and reached for the ss of wine Hilliard held.


    Hilliard didn’t bother with words.N?velDrama.Org holds this content.


    He just took a step back, and then emptied the entire contents of his wine ss onto Dr@per’s face, his eyes practically sparking with anger.


    Dr@per paused for a moment as his face turned into a canvas painted with red wine.


    He found himself licking the wine off his lips without even thinking.


    A quick jolt of realization hit him, and he promptly wiped his mouth clean.


    Holding her chin with one hand, Jennifer couldn’t hold back herughter.


    She was thoroughly entertained by the scene ying out before her.


    Hilliard was known to always maintain his cool andposure.


    He rarely allowed his emotions to get the best of him.


    But, today was a whole different story.


    With a fierce motion, he sent the ss hurtling towards the floor.
