Chapter 249
There were all kinds of photos from their college days inside
; it was such a precious gift.
"Cuz we're besties, duh! In the phone I used in college, apart from my own photos, most of them are
photos of you." Odette looked at her affectionately, "Let's be besties for life!"
Violette raised her glass and clinked with her, "Let's never forget each other, no matter how rich or
successful we become!"
After taking a sip, Violette put her glass down.
Suddenly, her shoulder was patted.
She turned her head and saw Brandon's flushed smiling face.
"Ms. Dennis, come sit over here!" Brandon pointed at the next table, "Go manage your employees, or
they'll get us drunk."
Brandon had a wronged expression.
"Brandon, you're more than capable of taking on ten people with your alcohol tolerance!" Odette
teased.
Brandon sighed, "That was before. I'm getting old now..."
Violette got up and followed Brandon to the next table.
Brandon let her sit in Mike's seat, a
nd Mike's seat was next to Elijah.
Violette caught a glimpse of Elijah from the corner of her eye
, who was staring at her with his sharp hawk-like eyes.
Violette was annoyed by his gaze, so she sat down next to him.
"Ms. Dennis, have some juice." Brandon poured her a glass of juice and asked Elijah, "Elijah, do you
want some juice?"
Because Violette was there, everyone else was well-behaved.
No one dared to get Elijah drunk.
Elijah picked up the wine bottle, pouring and drinking it himself.
Brandon awkwardly put down the juice pitcher.
"President Dennis, I'll toast to you. Happy birthday." A manager stood up and offered Violette a toast.
Violette raised her glass of juice and said, "My birthday has already passed. You don't need to toast
me." After that, she took a sip of her juice.
The manager held his glass, looking embarrassed.
At this moment, Elijah raised his glass and said in a low voice, "I'll drink with you guys."
Violette took a deep breath, looking past Elijah to Brandon.
It was clearly Elijah's own decision to drink, how could he blame her employees for getting him drunk?
Brandon took out his phone and texted Violette: He just glanced at your chest, probably stimulated by
your outfit.
Violette replied: What I wear is my own business, if he doesn't like it he can leave!
Brandon: Ms. Dennis, I didn't mean it like that. Since he wants to drink, let him drink! You eat and don't
worry about him.
Violette put her phone on the table.
Elijah glanced at her, then at Brandon.
The message was clear: I know you guys are texting behind my back.
He raised his glass, took a sip, and then said, "Do you guys know what the most important thing is
when running a company?"
The managers looked at each other, confused.
Brandon looked puzzled at Elijah.
Why did he suddenly say this?
Was he going to give everyone a free lesson on entrepreneurship?
Equally shocked was Violette.
She was a bit bewildered.
She didn't know if Elijah was drunk or if she was drunk.
At this moment, she looked at his face so close to her, feeling it so unreal. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Elijah's body felt a little hot, his long fingers tugging at his collar.
"Starting a company is easy, but to keep it going and let it thrive require skills..." Elijah spoke again.
The managers all put down their glasses, listening intently.
Brandon took out his phone and texted Violette: He's saying this for you. He's afraid you'll go bankrupt.
He's worried sick about you.
Violette looked at Brandon's message, her face turning red instantly.
