Chapter 1444


    Chapter 1444 Leaving The Two Alone


    Shocked, Ivan replied in fear, “No way. It’s true that I mixed up the blueprints. However, we corrected it


    after that, and you were the one who helped me. Have you forgotten about that? In the end, we didn’t


    cause a twenty million loss.”


    “Are you sure? My memory after drinking is great. I’ll never speak nonsense. I don’t think I remember


    wrongly.”


    Startled, Ivan stuttered, “Y-You’re speaking nonsense now. Y-You’re definitely drunk!”


    “No, no. I can keep drinking.” Then, Stephen turned his head to look at Jordan and said, “I remember


    you imed that Kayden had stolen a design from someone. Who was it again? I can’t remember well.


    Let me think about it.”


    “That’s not true. I’ve never said that. You’ve definitely remembered wrongly!”


    Upon watching Stephen embarrassing his colleagues, the others who had made mistakes and forced


    him to drink felt a chill down their spine, afraid that he would expose their wrongdoings at the party.


    “I think Stephen is drunk now. We shouldn’t let him drink anymore.”


    “Right. We can’t let him drink anymore.”


    “Come. Have some food. The food here is delicious. Let’s enjoy our meal.”


    Instantly, everyone fell into unmitigated silence.


    Realizing that everyone had stopped pressuring him to drink, Stephen felt relieved. He reached for his


    utensils and enjoyed the meal with the rest.


    Nina finally returned to the room. Stephen’s colleagues immediately went to her and reported, “Ms.


    Nina, Stephen is drunk. Actually, we have also drunk a lot too. Why don’t we call it a night now?”


    Stephen is drunk?


    Nina directed her gaze at Stephen and scrutinized him. Acting drunk, Stephen intentionally massaged


    his head and mumbled that he could drink more.


    Seeing that, Nina believed that he was drunk.


    Hence, she said, “I have appointed someone to arrange transport for all of you. Be careful when you’re


    heading home.”


    “Thank you, Ms. Nina.”

    “Thank you, Ms. Nina.”


    Everyone thanked Nina before leaving.


    When Stephen walked past Nina, she stopped him from leaving and said, “Your driver hasn’t arrived


    yet. Therefore, you should stay and wait here.”


    Stephen’s heart dropped when he realized Nina had asked only him to stay back. He supposed that


    she had something to talk about with him. In the blink of an eye, everyone had left, leaving only the two


    in the room.


    Calmly, Nina filled two sses of wine. Then she held a ss of wine in her hand and handed another


    to Stephen.


    “Ms. Nina, I really can’t drink anymore!”


    “One more. Just one more! I’ll drink it first.” Nina then lifted the winess and downed the red wine at


    one gulp. “There. Now, it’s your turn!”


    Looking at the fine wine before him, Stephen realized that he couldn’t refuse the request. Therefore, he


    took the winess from her and downed the wine. Suddenly, his heart clenched, and he felt a bit


    ufortable.


    “Ms. Nina, you asked for me to stay. Do you have something to discuss with me?”


    Nina observed his appearance. Seeing his flushed face and weary eyes, she reckoned that he was


    drunk. He might spill the beans now that he is drunk.


    “That’s right. To be frank, I have some questions for you. Can you answer my questions honestly?”


    Stephen knitted his brows and replied, “Sure.”


    “Do you have anything to do with Chris Sanders?”


    The mention of Chris took Stephen by surprise. His heart started beating fast. Anything rted to Chris


    should not be revealed to Nina, for it was a promise he made to Chris.


    Noticing the perturbation and hesitancy in his eyes, Nina imed confidently, “You are somehow


    rted to Chris! By looking into your eyes, I can tell that you’re rted to him!”


    Immediately, Stephen was at a loss, contemting the best response he could give.


    Looking at Nina’s determined look, he knew he wouldn’t be able to brush it off by denying it. In fact, he


    could tell that Nina had discovered something before she decided to ask him the question.


    “It’s okay if you’re not saying anything. I’ll wait until you speak the truth. Even if you’re not telling me the


    truth tonight, there’s still tomorrow, the day after, and so on. We can keep this going, and I’ll make you


    speak no matter what it takes.”


    Putting on a troubled look, Stephen said, “Ms. Nina, why are you doing all this?”
