Comedy

After I got a billion-dollar client drunk, I forced him to sign a contract that gave us better terms. He was then rushed to the ER. After that, I walked into the CEO's office with my legs shaking, holding my resignation letter. "Mr. Blake, I blacked out from drinking last night, lost control, and offended an important client. I'll take responsibility and resign immediately. I won't drag the company into this!" I wanted to leave as soon as possible before the Legal Department sued me and took everything I owned. The cold and distant CEO, Adrian Blake, pulled out his fountain pen with a dark expression. The next second, I never expected that I heard his thoughts wildly screaming in my head. "Damn! This woman is my lucky star! I'm someone with severe social anxiety who wants to hide the moment I see people. I was almost cornered by those ruthless businessmen! Not only did she take several drinks for me, but she also grabbed that guy by the collar and forced him to lower the contract price by 20%! But I'm the cold and untouchable CEO of a multinational company. I can't just beg her to attend every business dinner for me forever, can I?" I saw Adrian's face become tense, and a hidden excitement flashed in his eyes. I quickly grabbed my resignation letter, tore it apart, and said, "Mr. Blake, I know I made a mistake. Please let me redeem myself. From now on, I can attend all those business dinners for you!"

Chapter 1
After Adrian set his fountain pen back into the holder, he said coldly, "Grace, you caused a huge mess last night. After you got Mr. Hamilton drunk, he ended up in the ICU. His secretary called me 17 times this morning just to yell at me."I shrank back a little. "Mr. Blake, that's why I want to redeem myself..."Then I heard what he was really thinking. "I didn't answer a single call. Just hearing my phone vibrate stressed me out. But Mr. Hamilton did sign the contract, and the company saved 20 million dollars. She really is good at her job!"Adrian opened a file without changing his expression."Starting today, you're being promoted to my Executive Assistant. Your salary will triple, and you'll report directly to me."As soon as he finished speaking, the office door opened.The Vice President, Ethan Grant, walked in.He smiled as he looked at me."Mr. Blake, I just heard you promoted an administrative clerk to Executive Assistant? Ms. Sutton only has an associate degree. She's been h

Without thinking, I reached over, grabbed the glass in front of Adrian, and raised it to my lips.I finished the whole drink in one gulp, then slammed the empty glass onto the table."Mr. Carter, Mr. Blake isn't feeling well today. His stomach is bothering him, so he can't drink. I'll finish every glass on this table for him."Michael froze for a second, then burst out laughing."Wow! Are all of Mr. Blake's people this good at drinking? Great! Since you're so brave, let's see how much you can really handle!"For the next two hours, I faced all four men from Michael's side by myself.After every drink, I smiled and talked business with them.After my third glass, Michael's PR Director got drunk first.After my fifth glass, his two business partners started talking nonsense.After my seventh glass, even Michael was pounding the table and slurring his words.The whole time, Adrian sat calmly at the head of the table without taking a single sip of anything.His face stayed cold and unreada

Chapter 3
During Emily's first week at the company, we had three major meetings.Every single time, she targeted me."I heard Ms. Sutton's job is just drinking for Mr. Blake at business dinners, right? Isn't that basically what a hostess does? I've known Adrian since we were kids. I know him better than anyone. The kind of woman he hates most is one who uses her looks to get ahead. Blake Group isn't a place where just anyone can get in."People around the conference room quietly laughed at me.But I just smiled and stayed silent because I heard Adrian's desperate thoughts."Oh no. Emily is being way too harsh. She says I hate women who use their looks to get ahead? I can barely even look people in the face. I really want to go help her, but there are 30 people in that conference room. I don't have the courage to walk in!"Since he couldn't help me, I had to handle it myself.But Emily quickly became even worse. Three client files disappeared from my desk that Friday, and even the backups in the

Emily didn't lose her temper in front of me.Instead, early the next morning, she sent me a message. "We have a dinner meeting with Fortress Group today. Mr. Quigley is difficult to deal with. You have to drink with him before he'll even discuss business. I know you can really hold your liquor. If you land this deal, I'll forgive you."I didn't reply right away.Just then, I heard Adrian's thoughts from upstairs."Mr. Quigley has a 500-million-dollar project, but he can drink like a fish. Why is Emily doing this?"After thinking it over, I replied that I would attend.At seven that evening, I arrived at the private room on the top floor of the club.When I pushed open the door, there were 12 people inside.Emily was there with two of her friends. At the head of the table sat Robert Quigley, the CEO of Fortress Group.Before sitting down, I glanced at the short glass in front of me. The orange liquid looked like whiskey. But it was actually high-proof vodka mixed with moonshine and colo

The private room fell completely silent.Emily froze in place and slowly loosened her grip on the glass.The big man let go of me and took a few steps back.Adrian walked over, bent down, and helped me up from the floor.Then I heard his thoughts."Ethan planned this. He trapped me in an international meeting for an extra 30 minutes on purpose! I came too late... I left her here to face all of this alone. She was almost forced to drink until she ended up in the ER. I'm useless! Oh my God, I ran here as fast as I could while holding my phone. It was almost 100 yards from downstairs. My legs are still shaking..."His hand held my arm steady so I could stand before he turned and glared at Emily.The look in his eyes made her step back.Robert crushed his cigar into the ashtray and stood up. "Mr. Blake, about tonight...""Mr. Hudson." As soon as Adrian spoke, two men in dark suits walked into the room carrying digital voice recorders. One of them was Adrian's lawyer, Arthur Hudson.Robert'

On the night of the annual gala, the main hall was packed.Through the security cameras, I saw Ethan sneak into the lighting control room. He cut the backup headset cable on the stage and unplugged the teleprompter.Adrian had no way out now.He stood backstage, gripping the doorframe. His hand had been shaking for a long time.I walked over and pulled a spare earpiece from my pocket. "Mr. Blake, wear this instead. It isn't connected to the main system, so he can't disable it. If anything goes wrong, I'll help you from the lighting booth."He took it and put it on.Then I heard his thoughts. "Emily pushed me into a corner, but Grace gave me hope."The host invited Adrian onto the stage.The moment he walked out, I slipped into the lighting control room. Without anyone noticing, I switched the main lighting panel into standby mode.The lights didn't go out. The main spotlight simply dimmed by half. It blurred every face in the audience.When Adrian looked up, the 300 faces before him ha

Someone in the Board room suddenly stood up.Ethan's face changed from shock to despair.He slowly turned to look at Adrian. "You knew about all of this from the beginning?"Adrian looked up at him.I heard his thoughts. "Yes. I knew eight months ago."Then he spoke softly, but everyone in the conference room could hear him clearly, "After Grace came back from her first business dinner, I asked the Legal Department to investigate who set up that trap and what interests were behind it. They found the connection between you and Dawson Group. I chose to wait until you played your whole hand."Adrian paused for a moment before continuing in a cold voice, "The Risk Management Department had already separated and protected those 37 million dollar assets. It was only a trap on paper. You never actually received a single dollar. Instead, it became proof of your contract fraud."Ethan collapsed into his chair. He rested his elbows on the table and covered his face with both hands.Only then did

But it wasn't over yet.After Ethan was removed from the Board, Emily disappeared for two days.On the morning of the third day, the number one trending topic was: "Blake Group CEO Suspected of Severe Mental Disorder, Has He Been Relying on His Female Assistant to Run the Company?"The post included a maliciously edited video. They combined clips of Adrian losing control in public, the fake medical evaluation, and scenes of me handling business dinners for him. They twisted everything to make it look like I was secretly controlling him from behind the scenes.Blake Group's stock price dropped 8% within 40 minutes after the market opened.I grabbed my phone and rushed to the 36th floor.By then, Adrian was already standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in his office, with his back facing the door.I heard his thoughts. "Emily, how dare you humiliate Grace like this."I walked over and stood beside him. Together, we looked down at the city through the glass."I have a plan.""I

They released five separate statements claiming her actions were only her personal choices.The once-glamorous socialite circle lost its shine overnight.In the end, Emily was convicted and sentenced to three years and six months in prison.Dawson Group's stock price dropped by 40% and never recovered.When I saw the news in my new office at Blake Group, Adrian was standing behind me, reviewing some documents.He asked quietly, "Are you happy?""I'm not happy."He looked up.I placed my phone face down on the desk. "I just think they never should have pushed someone into a corner from the beginning."Adrian put the documents down and sat across from me. He looked at me for a long time.Then I heard his thoughts again. He was apo
