NovelFinishChapter 80 Harvey finished talking and the room fell dead silent.
Attorney surely knew about Max and Ravenna's thing, and it was pretty obvious now that he was throwing his weight around! Man, he sure was a cold-blooded shark of the legal world! Under everyone's gaze, Max got up.
Even though he was the future son-in-law of the Horigan family, just a single word from Harvey could screw over Velona Corporation big time. So, he had to play by Harvey's rules.
Max wasn't just heartless, and he also knew when to back down.
He picked up his glass and downed it in one.
Ravenna didn't even see it coming.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMax ignored her. He stood next to Eloise, poured himself a drink, then another for Eloise, and raised his glass, "Harvey's driving, so here's to my future sister-in-law." Eloise didn't expect Max to pull a stunt like this. Had he lost his marbles? Veronica couldn't bear it any longer and blurted out, "Max, if you want to drink, I can join you." Max put a hand on her shoulder, keeping her seated.
"Ms. Veronica, I'm talking to Eloise here!" The room fell silent again, and everyone knew Eloise had a thing for Max back in the day. Max was obviously making things awkward for her now. Nobody dared to say a word.
Eloise went rigid.
A soft chuckle. Harvey's hand lightly rested on the back of Eloise's chair, and his laugh was easy and graceful. He gently asked her, "Can you drive?" Eloise nodded, confused, and then he took her hand.
Harvey got up again and smiled at Max, "Eloise isn't feeling well. I'll drink for her." His words started a buzz around the room.
When Ravenna wanted to drink with him, he said he was driving and couldn't drink. Now he was drinking? Talk about playing favourites! Harvey pulled this off without batting an eye. He picked up Eloise's glass and elegantly downed the wine while Max gripped his own glass, his face turning ghostly pale.
He couldn't help but wonder just how far had things gone between Harvey and Eloise.
Max was in a rotten mood, and he also downed his drink in one go.
After finishing, his eyes swept over Eloise, a challenging glint in them. Eloise dared not meet his gaze, afraid Harvey would blher later. Harvey just chuckled.
He was already a handsguy, and when he smiled, those dimples were killer. All the women were smitten. They all wanted to chat up Attorney, especially the parents of the students; they wanted to curry sfavours for their husbands. But Harvey didn't give them the tof day, and he was all sweet on Eloise and icy cold to the others. This made everyone too scared to approach him.
The room got lively again; a few people cover to drink with him, but no one dared to get Harvey drunk, surprisingly, Harvey broke his own rule and had a few more drinks.
Eloise filled his plate to prevent him from getting drunk.
Harvey looked at her deeply. Maybe it was the alcohol, Eloise found his gaze a little off, and she blushed. Harvey gently squeezed her hand under the table.
His voice was a bit hoarse, "Shall we leave early?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEloise saw the hidden desire in his eyes, and she bit her lip slightly. She didn't expect him to be so openly affectionate in public, but she couldn't refuse this Harvey. She didn't agree, but she didn't refuse either.
Harvey chuckled. He stood up and said a few polite words to the m principals of the Music College, the Musso, making them very happy. Eloise watched his confident demeanour.
She was wondering, whose reunion was this anyway? Just then, Ravenna cover, still in that tight dress that showed off her curves.
Her cheeks were flushed, and her voice was very gentle.
"Attorney, are you leaving?" Eloise was right next to Harvey, and she naturally heard everything.
She was truly impressed with Ravenna.
Not only was she not embarrassed, but her flirting skills were also m couldn't help but look top-notch. She afy, wondering if he would be drawn to Ravenna.
