All Chapters of Drunk Deals and CEO Secrets: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

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

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

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'

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

Two days later, a line of police cars stopped outside Emily's mansion.The police arrested her on criminal charges of spreading false business rumors, illegally obtaining private information, and forging medical documents.There was another charge added as well. She was suspected of working with outside organizations to steal confidential company information. The target was Blake Group's upcoming overseas acquisition project.When the police arrived, Emily was on the phone. They took the phone from her hand and recorded everything live.She was still wearing pajamas, with no makeup on. She was stopped in the middle of her living room, completely losing control of her emotions.Later that day, Ethan was also called in to assist with the investigation.When he walked out, his face was expressionless.By the market close that afternoon, Blake Group's stock price hit its daily limit.People in the office hallway happily opened champagne to celebrate.I sat at my desk, feeling a little emot
