Chapter 122: Chapter 123

Chapter 123 Probingly Chase Smith stood not far away, watching the interaction between the two. She frowned, her face full of doubts. What was the relationship between Lucas and that woman? Why were they so intimate? She felt puzzled and confused. After a few cups, Emily‘s little face was clearly dyed with two patches of red. Usually, she rarely drank. Suddenly, she drank a few cups so fiercely, it was obvious that she couldn‘t take it. Looking at her appearance, Lucas was a little worried. “Alright, stop drinking. Let‘s rest for a while.” Emily blushed and replied softly. “Okay.” “I need to go to the bathroom,” she said as she reached out and rubbed her forehead. Then, she got up and left. Looking at her leaving figure, Lucas was even more worried.

The bathroom.

Emily splashed some cold water on her face and felt much more clear–headed.

She tidied herself up and was about to leave. Suddenly, she bumped into Chase Smith who was walking towards her. “Emily, what a coincidence!” Chase Smith walked over to Emily and smiled warmly. Emily nodded and greeted her.

Just as she was about to leave, Chase Smith‘s voice rang out. “Emily, I see that you and Lucas are quite close. What is your relationship? Are you guys a couple?” She looked at Emily, her eyes full of probing. Just as she finished speaking, as if afraid that Emily would misunderstand, she added another sentence. “Don‘t misunderstand. I didn‘t mean anything bad. I was just curious.” She sighed and her gaze became profound.

“Lucas and I have known each other for a long time. It can be said that we have known each other since we were young... It has always been rare to see him get so close to any woman, so I am a little curious.” Emily only gave an “oh” and did not have any other thoughts. “Ordinary friends.” She looked up lightly. However, Chase Smith obviously did not believe it. “Is that so? But I rarely see Lucas treat a person like this.” She chuckled. “You don‘t know, but from the moment he started going to school, not to mention women, even men could not get close to him.” There was an indescribable feeling in her tone, as if she was swearing on her sovereignty. “Is that so?” Emily did not seem to care. “However, I think that Mr. Greens is quite easy to get along with.” She chuckled. “Since we met, he has helped me a lot. He is a very good person. However, it might also be because I have a lot to say.” “I still have something to do. I‘ll be leaving first,” she said.

She turned around and left.

Chase Smith stood in the same place, obviously still in a daze. She frowned. What was this? Showing off?

Chase Smith clenched her fists and stared at Emily with some resentment in her eyes. This woman was simply hateful.

What‘s so great about attending a banquet together with Lucas? The position of Greens family‘s young mistress must be hers.

Back at the banquet hall. Emily was obviously feeling a little uncomfortable. Under the influence of alcohol, she felt that her head was starting to sink. Seeing that something was wrong with Emily, Lucas quickly asked, “Can you still hold on?” “It‘s fine. Why don‘t we go back first?” Emily nodded. She kept saying that it was fine, but it was obvious that she had drunk too much. Emily had a very clear understanding of her own alcohol tolerance. It was getting late, and it was time to go back. Lucas‘ face sank. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Emily. He nodded and said, “Let‘s go home.”

Judging by Emily‘s appearance, it was not suitable to stay any longer. Just as they walked out of the hotel, a cold wind blew and hit Emily‘s face. She was a little more awake. However, she still felt like she was stumbling. She followed behind Lucas. When she was going down the stairs, she didn‘t pay attention. She stepped on air and charged forward. Emily was so scared that her face turned pale and she cried out in alarm.

Ah!

Just when she thought that she was going to have the closest contact with the floor, the next second, she fell into the man’s arms.

Lucas‘ unique cold aura entered her nose. “Thank you, Mr. Greens,” Emily said with a silly smile. She leaned into Lucas‘ arms just like that. For a moment, the two of them were in a somewhat ambiguous position. Lucas helped her up and asked, “Are you alright?” Emily pouted and muttered, “I feel a little dizzy. Lucas helplessly reached out and helped Emily into the car. Looking at the woman‘s flushed face, Lucas couldn‘t help but shake his head and say, “If I had known earlier, I wouldn‘t have let you drink just now.” At first, looking at Emily‘s bold and unconstrained appearance, he thought that she was very good at drinking. Now it seemed like... Lucas couldn‘t help but sigh.

Emily leaned against the back seat and said, “It doesn’t matter. I, I‘ll just go back and take some anti–inflammatory drugs.” She said that, but her blurred eyes and red face had already betrayed her.

In the car.

“President, are you leaving?” Mason asked. “Yes,” Lucas replied softly. Time passed, and Emily felt dizzy. Gradually, her head became heavier and her eyelids drooped. She had fallen asleep at some point in time.
