Blake‘s POV
Hugging Catherine goodbye this morning put me in a good mood for the day.
Just after I ended the meeting and was about to return to the office, my royal family suddenly Mind–
Linked me.
I waved at Henry. I went to the office, closed the door, and sat in my chair.
I connected to Mind–Link, and it was Leo.
Only then did I know that he had returned to Sayreville.
“Blake, Catherine is drunk. Come and take her away,” Leo said through Mind–Link.
When I heard his words, I was displeased. I responded with a hint of anger, “Why is she with you?”
Leo said, “She asked me for help and invited me to a meal. I guess I have to pay for myself now.”
“Why did she treat you?” I was very unhappy. She had never treated me to a meal.
“She needs my hielp.”
“You are my brother. You helping her is perfectly justified. Why does she need to treat you?” I said to
Leo.
At the same time, I had already stood up from my chair and walked out with my coat.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLeo sounded helpless. He paused for a few seconds before replying, “Anyway, just get here and take
her away. I didn‘t mean to get her drunk. She was the one who got hersell
drunk.”
“I‘ll settle accounts with you later. Tell me the address.” I was very upset when I learned that Catherine
was eating and drinking with Leo.
I disconnected Mind–Link and headed for the restaurant.
When I arrived, I saw Catherine groaning on the sofa. She was drunk and felt very uncomfortable. She
was blushing, and her eyes were blurred.
“What did you call me?”
After Catherine heard my voice, she shook her long hair and tried to keep herself awake.
“Blake?” Catherine opened her eyes wide, lier face full of disbeliel.
I walked closer to the bed, putting my hands next to her body. I looked down at her eyes.
“Catlierine, who said you could drink?” There was anger in my voice. It was obvious that I hated it when
she was drunk.
Catherine frowned. “I drank because of work. Why did you bring me here? I‘m going back to the
office.”
“Look at you. You alınost stripped yourself naked!” I looked down at the collar of her blouse that she
had just untied.
Catherine lowered her head and saw that her blouse had been untied at some point in
time.
She pointed to my face in shock. “You... You... What are you doing?”
She thought it was me. I raised my eyebrows and sneered, “You did this. Not me.”
Catherine quickly tried to button her blouse.
“If you are not feeling well, just lie down and sleep. I won‘t let you out of this door with you being like
this.” I was still furious. Had she been drunk in front of other men before?
She couldn‘t hold her liquor at all, yet she dared to pull a stunt. I wanted to punish her badly.
Catherine gave up buttoning her blouse. She lay down and pulled the quilt to cover herself.
“I‘ll just sleep for half an hour... Blake, if you are busy...”
“I‘m not busy.” I sat down beside her, and her eyes widened in shock.
I reached out and tucked her in. “Go to sleep. I‘ll be here.”
“No.You should go. I can‘t sleep with you here!” Catherine said.
* “I‘ll stay.” I stood up, walked out of the bedroom, and closed the door.
I sat on the sofa in the living room and looked at the closed door. It was quiet inside.
What was she thinking? Why did she invite Leo to a meal? Why did she drink with him?
She was getting bolder.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSuddenly, someone contacted me through Mind–Link again.
It was Leo.
“Blake, is she alright?”
“Next time you dare to drink alone with her, there will be consequences.”
“Blake, it‘s just a misunderstanding. If I knew she couldn‘t drink, I wouldn‘t have let her near the wine
bottle. We were talking about nothing but work,” Leo explained.
“Work? What kind of work?” I sneered.
“The Design Department she is in is having an early winter launch. She wants some of my artists to
show up and support her,” Leo said anxiously.
“A phone call is enough. Why did you have to go out and eat?” I thought Leo‘s excuse was untenable.
“Blake, you are high above. You‘re always the one who bosses others around. Of course, you don‘t
know what it‘s like at the bottom,” Leo said with some displeasure.
“Forget it. She‘s still asleep. I‘ll let this one go. The next time she asks for your help, help her
unconditionally. Do you remember?” I lowered my voice, afraid of waking the woman inside up.
“What do you mean by unconditionally? She‘s not my mate. She wants to make money, and so do l!”
Leo tried to relute.
“Just help her. State your terms to me.”
