Little did Christina expect Michael to give an official speech. She finally let go of the breath she had been holding.After the speech, he held her gaze meaningfully before returning to his seat. There had been some amendments to the rules of tonight’s matchmaking. Since Christina’s background had been made known to the public, only the male participants were required to introduce themselves and also express their views on matchmaking. Christina held the power to eliminate or choose who could enter the next session. After the first round of self-introduction, she eliminated twenty out of the fifty men. The audience was shocked. Besides, the candidates that she eliminated were the ones that possessed better qualities and came from more influential family backgrounds compared to the rest. She ignored the audience that was now in an uproar. Her traumatic failed marriage with Michael negatively affected her impression of powerful families. Men who came from influential famili

“Ariel!” Christina grabbed her friend by the arm immediately, in fear that the latter might invite trouble by offending Michael again. The corners of her lips twitched into a sardonic smile. “Thanks, President Larson, for the meal!” “You have plenty of opportunities to thank me in the future!” he replied calmly. This frustrated Ariel greatly and she almost lost herself again. Upon arriving at the said hotel, the two of them realized the place was fully crowded. Almost every table available at the hotel had been occupied. Only two chairs were empty in the entire scene. One of them was placed next to Michael and the other one was next to his assistant. Evidently, it had been planned beforehand that Christina should be seated next to Michael and his assistant was assigned to keep an eye on Ariel. The latter realized what was going on and decided intentionally not to play according to the man’s rules. She strutted over to the seat next to Michael. “I’ll not hold back since Pres

Ariel was unwilling to give in hence she went on a drinking spree with Michael’s assistant. The both of them drank one glass after another. Soon, the entire bottle was almost emptied. Flustered, Christina quickly stepped forward to stop her friend but Michael grabbed her by the arm, smiling. He was certain that Ariel could not drink more than his assistant. He was just waiting for her to collapse. Unexpectedly, Ariel gave her best today and drank almost as much as the assistant. Eventually, the two of them started to reach their limits. Christina could not hold it anymore. “Stop drinking, Ariel!” There was no chance the latter would listen, now that her rationality was consumed by alcohol. She continued pouring wine down her throat. Left with no alternative, Christina turned to Michael. “Please, make them stop.” Simultaneously, the door opened and the scent of Chanel fragrance filled the entire room. Several pretty young ladies walked toward their direction. The leader of

“It’s a show of respect. You must drink!” Ariel placed the glass in front of Michael. “If you don’t drink much, then President Larson will have to drink on your behalf!”This was a toast to Michael and Serena. The assistant, who knew better than to drink on their behalf, stood by the side as watched on with unease. Serena appeared pitiable, as if full of grievances. She could not drink much but she did not want Michael to drink more either. Smiling, Christina placed the spoon down and dabbed the corners of her mouth with the napkin. “Ariel is right. You can’t refuse a toast to happiness. Miss Garcia, get President Larson to drink on your behalf if you can’t finish it all!” A hint of despair flashed across Michael’s eyes. Just as he was about to say something, Serena grabbed the glass and emptied it. Her cheeks turned red instantly. “Nice one!” Christina rose to her feet, applauding. “I heard that President Larson and Miss Garcia are going to be engaged soon. It’s a coincidence

Christina held firmly onto Ariel’s arm. “Stop it. Let’s go.” As they walked along, Ariel learned that Christina had not pretended to fall earlier but was tripped over by Michael. It was also him who deliberately spilled wine onto Serena. “Why did he do that? Is he out of his mind?” “I don’t know what his intentions are either. In short, we shouldn’t provoke him. He sought payback from you last time, remember?” “Only the losers are afraid! Worst case scenario, I’ll be out of a job!” Christina grabbed her by the arm in a comforting manner. “I know you’re not afraid of him but there’s no need to lose your job over him. He’s only a passerby and he’s not worth it!” Michael’s car had not driven away from the hotel before he noticed Matthew’s car approaching and had pulled up next to his. The newcomer winded down his window and looked at the other man provokingly. “President Henderson, you’re out late huh?” “I don’t have a choice. I don’t have interest in doing anything when m

The wine spillage accident utterly embarrassed Serena tonight. Perhaps she could have saved some face if Michael had accompanied her and sent her home personally.Instead, he had sent his assistant to send her home. The assistant had gotten slightly drunk and dared not drive in that state thus the task was delegated to the designated driver.Serena became angrier the more she thought about the humiliation she had suffered tonight. Enraged, she began throwing things around the room when she got home.Sophia stepped into the room upon hearing the commotion. “What’s gotten into you?”“It’s all because of that stupid Christina!” She told everything that had happened at the hotel last night in a tone full of grievance. “I thought she was genuinely wishing happiness for Michael and me but really, she was just digging my grave. Ugh!”“Why did you go there in the first place?” Sophia glared at her. “You’re asking for trouble if you’re too controlling over your man.”Tears began rolling d
