Love Drug Novel

Chapter 166 The Unspoken Game Summers fingers tightened around her wineglass at the announcement , and her eyelashes fluttered slightly .

James immediately stopped teasing the two women and rushed forward to greet them .

Finished The GloryPath Construction project , a luxury resort development in Havenbrook , of course , required massive funding and several investors .

The Graham Group was the largest shareholder .

Fraser settled on the sofa with effortless grace , one leg crossed over the other .

His dark gaze swept over Summer with deliberate indifference .

Merry blinked at the newcomer .

Was this not the man who had waited for Summer that day ? Who had thrown away those beautiful lavender flowers ? Id even rescued them and displayed the bouquet in her design studio .

Judging by the crowds reaction , this man had the highest status here .

Did this mean we were saved ? Hope flickered in Merrys chest as she looked at Summer .

Summer … But Summer stood motionless , her expression unreadable .

Why are they acting like strangers ? Now of all times ! At least get us out of this drinking mess first ! Fraser pulled out a cigarette .

Someone immediately stepped forward to light it .

The ember glowed crimson between his slender fingers as he took a slow drag Whats going on here ? His voice was languid .

A guest chuckled .

These ladies are begging Mr.

James for a business opportunity by voluntarily drinking ! James puffed up with pride at having Frasers attention .

Youre in luck ! Drink this , and Ill let your company skip the preliminaries and go straight to the finals , all in front of Havenbrooks most respected bossman ! .

All eyes turned to Summer and Merry.

Merry panicked inside .

I wish I could hold my liquor , but one sip will knock me out ! She blinked frantically at Fraser , then at Summer , but both ignored her as if she were having a seizure .

Summer pressed her lips together .

I hadnt intended to drink at all .

Now I was cornered like a duck on a spit .

Her eyes flickered to Fraser .

He lounged like royalty , radiating icy detachment , as if the man whod tangled my limbs and reduced me to trembling pleas last night had never exuted Chapter 166 The Unspoken Game The room held its collective breath .

How dare this nobody bargain with Bossman ? Frasers lips curled .

And why should 1 ? Wait , thats not the script ! Merrys hope was shattered .

James , fearing Frasers irritation , snapped .

Enough stalling ! Dont make offers you cant keep .

Im already being generous ! Summers cheeks flushed , less from the pressure than from Frasers condescending look .

She refused to let him see her weakness .

Bending down , she grabbed a bottle of whiskey and raised it to her lips.

The crowd whistled .

Then , You called me here to watch a woman drink ? Frasers bored voice cut through the din .

How boring .

The energy of the party plummeted like a crashed stock market .

Someone hastily suggested .

L..lets play a game instead ! Merry exhaled .

Has this intentional leniency ? James scowled at her .

Fine .

If you cant drink , entertain Mr.

Graham .

Impress him and Ill approve your entry .

Merry practically dragged Summer onto a sofa in relief .

A willowy woman in a high slit aqua qipao sauntered over to Frasers seat .

Finished Mr.

Graham , she purred like melted honey , her blood red nails uncorking an expensive bottle of imported wine .

Let me pour for you .

The amber liquid swirled in crystal as she offered the glass , Fraser didnt even look at it .
