chapter 823


    That noon, about four to five international moguls were in the private room, all of them with golden hair. They were outstanding figures in the


    country, and they were present in the room for an international coboration. Once the deal was made, the Bailey family would gain up to ten


    billion bucks every year.


    However, they were only willing to give a 50-percent ratio to the Baileys while Anthony wanted 70 percent. The deal was difficult to achieve.


    Anthony walked down the golden corridor while Luke followed behind him, running through the details. Right after that, he eyed Anthony


    warily." President, do we have to bring Ms. D''Cruz along? Will she be able to help?"


    "Don''t worry, I''ve taken part in many negotiations on the D''Cruz family''s behalf. I’ll be able to provide some help," answered Waverly.


    She had to follow them. She must help Anthony to secure this tedious deal so he would think fondly of her.


    Anthony did not reject it as he walked toward the room, and the door was pushed open.


    The pce-like grand, luxurious hotel''s room had a marble table by the window.


    Waverly followed behind Anthony as they walked toward the round table.


    A few moguls stood up and genially extended their hand.


    "President Bailey."


    Anthony shook each of their hands and sat down before the table.


    Someone asked jokingly, "Is this President Bailey''s fiancee?"


    ''Yes, and though she looks average, she''s quite capable. Perhaps she might change your mind today,"


    replied Anthony. 1


    A man with golden hair asked, "Really? It seems that Ms. Waverly is quite promising. Let''s have a ss


    of wine, let''s see how capable you are," hemented as he poured red wine into a ss.


    Waverly did not hold the ''she looks average''ment against Anthony as she eventually blended in


    with the group.


    She relished the feeling of sitting beside Anthony, and all of them treated her as Anthony''s woman. She


    raised her ss of red wine and elegantly said, "As Anthony''s fiancee, let me make a toast to


    everyone."


    "Okay, here''s a toast!"

    The few men drank the red wine readily, treating the red wine like whiskey.


    Waverly initially wanted to take just a sip, but seeing their gesture, she had to finish the entire ss.


    Drinking wine meant for tasting burned the throat, but with Anthony by her side, her red lips curled up


    happily.


    She was the one apanying Anthony, sitting beside him, and Charmine? 1


    Hah! She was probably jealous and sad all by herself.


    She wanted to fight andpete with her? How ignorant! 1


    Another man said, "It’s the first time we see President Bailey bringing out his fiancee for a meeting. Of course we must make a toast to Mrs.


    Bailey!"


    The man filled his and Waverly''s ss.


    Liking hisment, Waverly downed another ss with him.


    Following that, the rest of the men each made a toast to her.


    It only took a while for Waverly to have downed six sses of red wine. With a high concentration, the wine induced dizziness in her system.


    1


    She was tipsy, and she might not be able to help Anthony if such a condition persisted. She said, ''You all are so easy-going. I''m sure that if


    the deal is made, the coboration will be very pleasant."


    "This is rightly said, but still, we’re not done drinking yet. Why talk about the business now? Let''s drink more first!"


    A man stood up and filled Waverly''s ss, his hand even touching her shoulder.


    Waverly was irked by his motion and wanted to push him away, but the man was so strong and acted as if he was drunk, more so leaning


    against her as well.


    "Ms. D’Cruz has such an alluring body, and you have such supple skin. President Bailey is so lucky to be engaged to such a beautiful


    woman," he spoke as he raised his hand to feel Waverly’s face.
