CHAPTER 374 BOOZE!
Chapter 374 Booze!
Seeing Sophia get into a limousine with complacence, Leo then grew a tinge of madness. But it soon
faded away.
Though he didn't attend the conference with Lydia, he could tell it must be Sophia who caused the
situation.
But then he wore a sneer on his face, seemingly planning something.
“Palmer's Hotel, huh?”
Meanwhile, Ernie walked out of the building after finishing his own business. He then walked over to
Leo.
“Mr. Cohen, where’s your wife?”
Leo answered coldly, “We don't need to wait. Let’s get to your hotel.”
Seeing his cold expression, Ernie soon noticed there must be someone offending Leo.
So he hurried to open the door for Leo, “Mr. Cohen, may I drive you to the hotel?”
Leo nodded and got in.
Ernie then shouted at his chauffeur, “Get us to my hotel as soon as possible!”
The chauffeur sped up to the utmost.
It only took them half an hour to reach the hotel.
Leo got off the car and started to look around the building.
It was a hotel magnificently decorated, while all the usherettes of which were decently groomed and
looked incredibly charming.
Undoubtedly, it was a five-star hotel.
“Mr. Cohen, don't worry. I own this hotel. Please feel free to let me know if you need anything.”
As Ernie was aware there was something urgent for Leo to deal with, he no longer beat around the
bush.
Leo nodded and asked Ernie to leave on his own.
Seeing that his boss paying so much respect to this young man, the lobby manager also did his best to
provide service.
“Sir, Mr. Palmer has reserved the best presidential suite and a table in the restaurant at the top floor for
you. All food has been transported here by air from the most high-end overseas market.”
While speaking, the manager started to contemplate while looking at Leo.
Even the kids of Ernie had never enjoyed such a luxurious service. He couldn't help wondering who
this lad was.
But Leo shook his head, “No bother I am still waiting.”
Hearing that, the manager, together with those usherettes, was stunned, wondering who kept this
honorable guest waiting. Was there someone more privileged on his way here?
At this moment, a limousine parked at the gate. Then the crowd entered.
When seeing their faces, the manager looked rather disappointed.
It actually turned out that he was just waiting for some seemingly privileged people—the heads of some
rich families in
Hopkins, whom failed to be defined as those in the top.
But the manager did feel a bit amazed when seeing Lydia among the crowd, who truly allured him by
her beauty and outstanding impression.
“Lydia.” Leo walked over.
With an upset face, Lydia soon changed into a brighter expression when seeing him. She hurried to
beckon to him, “Honey, I am here!”
Not until then did the manager notice that Leo was actually waiting for his wife.
“Leo? Why are you here?” Sophia looked contemptuous but also quite surprised when seeing Leo.
“You called him honey? What’s going on?”
Those guys all looked displeased when hearing that. Then they cast a glimpse of sulkiness to Sophia.
Sophia promised to get them what they wanted. How came such a ‘husband’ interrupted the plan?
Awkward, Sophia glared at Leo.
He should be still waiting at the gate of that building, she supposed. How did he get here before them?
But soon, Sophia chilled herself and whispered to those men with a smile, “Gentlemen, don’t worry.
He’s just a loser living on his wife. I have got enough liquor to get her drunk.”
“Think about it, don’t you think it feels amazing to bang his wife while he could do nothing but
watching?”
Hearing that, those men soon dissipated the feeling of annoyance.
Even a simple imagination of that got them thrilled all over.
“Okay, as the husband of Miss Henderson, you must be our guest as well, I suppose. Alright, get him a
seat for our table.” Kian said to the manager.
The manager replied with indifference.
Even Mr. Palmer talked to this lad in a humble manner. How dared he, a nobody running an inferior
family, talk to this young man like that!
Soon, they took their seats around the table. Sophia grabbed Lydia’s arm to lead her to another seat,
“Miss Henderson, this one is for you!”
Actually, the seat was between Kian and Jaiden.
However, Leo hurried to take the seat next to Lydia before they did.
“Leo, here is the seat for Kian! Get your ass off the chair!” Sophia shouted at him.
Leo squinted at her, “Hey, she’s my wife. Is there anything wrong for me to sit next to my wife?”
When Sophia was about to refute, Kian smiled to intervene, “It’s okay. He’s right. I can take the seat on
the right.”
Though he compromised, he squinted at Leo provocatively as soon as he sat down, “Hey, young man,
can you drink?”
Leo nodded, “Yeah.”
“Alright.”
Kian then continued while planning something insidious, “I am sure we will have fun boozing later,
huh?”
Leo pretended not to notice what he meant, “Of course.”
Hearing that, the rest of them sneered at Leo as if he were being fooled.
When Lydia was about to unlit a bottle of soft drink, Sophia hurried to take it away and passed her a
bottle of liquor, “Hey, you know the drill, huh? That’s the drink for business.
After that, Sophia simply ignored her reluctance and filled her glass with liquor.
Sullen, Lydia remained silent. All content is property © .
Of course, she clearly noticed what Sophia was planning.
So she took a look at Leo to ask for help.
But Leo didn’t seem to notice. Instead, he was chewing the snack.
Then Kian proposed a toast to Lydia, “Miss Henderson, may I?”
Jaiden also stood up to echo, “Miss Henderson, cheers! I am sure the lunch will be the start of our
cooperation for your project!”
Aaron stood up to toast with a smile as well, “Wish us a nice cooperation!”
Worried and awkward, Lydia flinched when seeing the glass filled with liquor as she had poor tolerance
to alcohol. She was sure she would be deadly drunk if she swallowed so much liquor.
So she hurried to refuse, “Sorry, but I gotta drive myself home after lunch.”
Kian added, “Don’t worry. I will let my chauffeur drive you home.”
Sophia echoed, “Miss Henderson, please don’t fail us.”
Seeing that, Lydia closed her eyes and was about to drain the glass.
But when she just lifted the glass, someone took the glass off from her hand.
“Gentlemen, cheers!” Leo smiled and drained it. After that, he still looked fine and sober.
Lydia cast him a grateful look and whispered, “Thanks, Leo.”
Meanwhile, the rest of those men were all rendered sullen.
