<h4>Chapter 28: If you don''t want to make an effort anymore, remember to tell me.</h4>


    Be realized it: this guy was a professional drinker.


    Marry him and give him spending money? He wouldn''t do it!


    Offer him a respectable job? He refused!


    Yet here he was, contentedly making a living as a professional drinker!


    "Bring me ten more cases of beer!" Be said, clenching her fists. She had never been so disrespected.


    "Sure thing! What kind of beer would you like, Miss Be? The most expensive we have is Dogfish Head 120 Minute IPA, at $12 a bottle. Ten cases would be... 120 bottles!" William''s face was beaming with joy. He was making money! Hismission on the alcohol was ten percent, so this round would put another $1500 in his pocket.


    "Fine! Go get it. I''lle by often to watch you drink!" Be said through gritted teeth.


    "You''re most wee!" William said and then went to tell Maria that he needed ten cases of Corona.


    "William, well done! On your first day, no less. Who knows how valuable you''ll be to us in the future?" Maria''s smile was so broad it nearly split her face. She felt like she''d found a treasure. With someone like him, business would surely boom.


    "I''ll definitely be the top performer," William said confidently. He had worked in many fields and always excelled. Selling alcohol was no challenge for him.


    "Alright, alright! Go back and keep Miss Bepany. I''ll have the drinks sent over. And remember, don''t upset them. Those threedies are not to be trifled with," Maria warned, fearing that William might genuinely anger Be.


    "Don''t worry, I won''t," William assured her before returning to the table.


    The ten cases of beer were brought over shortly after.


    William winked at Be, suggesting, "Since we''re drinking, how about ying some games?"


    Be, teeth gritted, agreed: "Sure! Let''s y! You think I''m afraid of you?"


    "Dice or cards?" William asked, appearing asfortable with these games as a seasoned gambler.


    "Dice!" Be challenged, "Just the two of us, one-on-one!"


    "One-on-one? Alright!" William kept in mind not to appear too skilled. He had overdone it a bit earlier while drinking wine.


    The two started ying, and William began losing, five rounds in a row!


    Be finally felt a satisfying sense of revenge.


    "Keep going!" Be shook the dice, eyeing William. This was far from over.


    William waved his hand, saying, "I feel a bit dizzy. I might not be able to drink much more."


    "You''re a professional drinker, aren''t you? Hurry up and quit stalling!" Be thought the wine was catching up with William. Wasn''t he so cocky earlier?


    After downing ten bottles, he could only manage five cups now?


    William, finally managing to flush his face, had no choice but to keep ying.


    He mostly lost, winning only asionally.


    This only intensified Be''s feeling of triumph.


    Bottle by bottle, the alcohol decreased. William kept saying he couldn''t drink anymore, but he kept drinking.


    Be had already gone to the restroom twice, but William still sat there, his face flushed but steady.


    L couldn''t help but study William closely, thinking, "This guy has some strong kidneys!"


    "Sis, shouldn''t we stop now?" Emily was getting scared. She wasn''t sure if William was drunk, but Be definitely was.


    "No way! Keep going! You all drink too!" Be said, her face no longer cold, excitement overtaking her.


    L picked up a ss, saying, "I''ll be out after one drink."


    "Drink! Today, I want to see if L Carter really can''t handle more than one drink!" Be''s excitement grew, now challenging L.


    Without further ado, L downed a ss and then... copsed onto the sofa.


    William was genuinely impressed, "This acting is way too exaggerated!"


    Emily said pitifully, "Sis, you know me; I can''t hold my liquor either."


    Be red at her, "What! Don''t pretend I don''t know. You''ve been to these ces a lot! Drink up, and if you pass out, I''ll have William kiss you!"


    "That''s so harsh! Are you really my sister?" Emily nearly cried, but reluctantly picked up her ss and started drinking.


    L had feigned being drunk so that if they all got drunk, at least they could still get home safely. Emily wanted to pretend, but couldn''t.


    And so, Emily also joined their ranks.


    Another half an hour passed, and Piper and her group stumbled out of the private room. After settling the bill, she looked around; after all, the sisters she brought with her had malepanions, but William was nowhere to be found.


    "Maria, where''s William?" Piper''s eyes were hazy, and she was staggering, unable to find William amid the dim lights and crowded bar.


    Maria quickly responded with a smile, "Piper, I''m sorry! William was called away by a friend and took the night off. Do you want me to find someone else to apany you tonight?"


    At that moment, William was with Be and her group, so Maria certainly couldn''t mention that.


    Women''s feuds could be terrifying, and Maria didn''t want to offend anyone.


    Piper waved her hand, "No need! Tell William I had a great time tonight, and I''lle to see him again in a couple of days!"


    "Let me see you out," Maria said politely, and after escorting her out of the bar, she breathed a sigh of relief. As the owner, she had to make sure everything was perfect.


    By 2 AM, the bar had fewer customers, and William''s table had astonishingly finished all the drinks. As for Be, she was sprawled on the couch, snoring andpletely undignified.


    L sat up and said, "Alright, let''s call it a night."


    William smiled, "Come again tomorrow."


    "You''re not drunk?!" L frowned at William.


    William replied, "I can be."


    "Liar!" L rolled her eyes at him, then helped Be up.


    Emily seemed to handle her liquor better than Be, at least she could still talk normally.


    "William, you really can drink! I''m impressed!"


    "Likewise!" William nodded at her, "Emily, remember toe support us often."


    William didn''t mind being in contact with the descendants of servants from 50 years ago; he believed in going with the flow, not deliberately distancing himself, but not getting too close either.


    Emily grinned, showing her teeth, "Of course, I''ll introduce more customers to you in the future. If you don''t want to work hard anymore, remember to tell me."


    William said, "Don''t worry, if I ever decide to ck off, your sister will be my first choice, since she signed up first."
