Chapter 70
The faint fragrance from Diane’s body left him a little Intoxicated, and once Diane entered, Patrick gently locked the door behind him and said with a smile, “Come and have a seat, Miss Diane. Let’s have a drink and a chat. It’s that simple!”
Diane looked at him and frowned warily as she remarked, “I don’t remember having a friend like you.” NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Patrick smiled in response. “Haha, you must’ve forgotten. I attended Easton’s wedding today too, but you came a little too late to see Severin kick me!”
Diane’s heart skipped a beat when she heard that. ‘Is he here to get revenge because Severin kicked him earlier today?’
She smiled awkwardly and apologized. “Hehe, sorry about that. He’s impulsive, and he has a thing for using physical force to solve problems. I hope you won’t take offense!”
Patrick went to the table, took his seat on one of the chairs, and patted the chair beside him. Come here and have a seat. Let’s talk about some stuff, shall we? Whatever happened this morning is in the past. Severin and I are college classmates, after all, and we’re also in the same class as Lucy. If we weren’t, I wouldn’t have been invited to her wedding, and I wouldn’t have met Severin either!”
Diane walked over, took a seat next to him, and said, “Sorry, what’s your name? May I know who you are?”
Patrick poured a glass of red wine for Diane. “My name? It’s Patrick Reece. Come here and have a bite!”
Diane smiled awkwardly and said, “Sorry, but I’m full, and I can’t eat anymore. Your manager said that you’ll let my family go after having a chat and a few glasses of wine with me.”
Patrick smiled wickedly. “How about we have a drink then?”
Diane felt that she was not in a position to refuse, so she could only raise her glass and drink
some wine with him.
Patrick was very pleased to see how obedient she was. Since she had already drunk some wine when she was downstairs, he might be able to get her drunk if he offered her a few more drinks. When that happened, it would be so much easier to get it on with her, and she likely would not have any more strength to resist!
With so many thoughts racing through his mind, he glanced at Diane’s exposed thigh under her dress and felt an even stronger heat in her heart.
“Okay.” Diane smiled awkwardly and drank her wine.
Once they finished the wine in their respective glasses, Patrick immediately filled it up again for the two of them. “Since you’re too full to eat, let’s start with a couple of drinks!” Patrick clinked glasses with Diane as soon as he said that.
She was beginning to feel a little dizzy, but as soon as she remembered that dozens of men were
guarding the door with weapons to prevent her family from leaving, she could only grit her teeth and drink the red wine in front of her.
Having finished her second glass, she immediately said to Patrick, “Well, Mister Patrick, I think it’s about time you tell me what it is you wanted to talk to me about. I’ve had two glasses of wine with you already!”
Patrick grinned evilly and poured filled Diane’s glass again. “Oh, Miss Diane, you’re quite an amusing woman. When I said ‘a couple of glasses of wine’, did you think it was really just two glasses? When I say ‘a couple’, it means ‘more than two’, not ‘just two’. Got that?”
Diane’s mouth twitched a couple of times and her expression soured. “Could you at least tell me what is it you wanted to say to me? This is the last glass I’ll have with you. I’m too full to drink anymore!”
Unbeknownst to her, the secret door behind her had opened slightly ajar, and Easton, who was hiding behind the door, looked at Diane’s beautiful back. Her dress rode slightly up her thighs, revealing her silky skin that made Easton’s heart feel hot. He had to admit that Diane’s body and face could blow Lucy’s out of the water. Moreover, Diane’s bottom was so perky that it looked as if she specifically went to train her gluteal muscles at a gym. No man could resist such a sight!
