Chapter 258

As Lindsey hesitated, others in the room started to chime in.

“Lindsey, Miss Archer has offered such a heartfelt apology.

It would be a bit unkind not to acknowledge it.

”

“Exactly, we’re all part of the same company.

Let’s keep things open for discussion.

”

Josh, looking slightly displeased, commented, “Lindsey, remember Jayleen is your superior.

Show her some respect.

”

Feeling the pressure, Lindsey reluctantly accepted the glass from Jayleen, given the presence of Josh and other department heads.

She didn’t want to create a scene, so she drank the champagne.

The crowd clapped in approval.

“That’s the spirit.

Vitality Entertainment values unity and sincerity above all.

”

Lindsey placed the empty glass upside down on the table, her gaze steady on Jayleen.

“Miss Archer, I’ve accepted your drink.

Remember your promise.

”

“Of course,” Jayleen replied with a slight raise of her eyebrows, then turned to toast with others.

Lindsey sat back in the corner.

Soon, she began to feel dizzy and warm.

Was she getting drunk from just one glass of champagne?

Sumner seemed to be struggling with similar discomfort.

Seeing Lindsey and Sumner unconscious on the couch, Jayleen’s expression twisted into a cruel smirk,

revealing her true nature.

Jayleen turned to the crowd and said, “The company has invested a hefty million dollars in fireworks for Kristy’s birthday tonight.

It’s about time.

Let’s go watch.

”

After hearing this, everyone became excited and followed Jayleen out of the private room.

Lindsey and Sumner were reclining on the sofa.

Others assumed that the two were drunk, so they left to take a break in the private room.

When Jayleen left the private room, she looked back at Lindsey and Sumner, who were lying on the sofa.

Jayleen got a wicked look in her eyes.

She was confident that after this evening, Lindsey wouldn’t be a match for her.

Waking up disoriented, Lindsey looked around the room, which was now empty.

She wondered what had happened.

Had everyone left after the event? But why hadn’t she realized it?

Feeling unusually hot and uncomfortable, Lindsey recognized these symptoms from a past experience and suspected something was off with the champagne she drank.

She suspected Jayleen was behind it.

What the hell did Jayleen want to do?

Lindsey pondered where everyone had disappeared to.

Why had they left her by herself in the private room?

She swiftly took out a small bottle of medicine from her bag.
