He smiled at her and asked, โDoes this show my sincerity?โ
Elizabeth raised an eyebrow and smiled. โIt does. Iโll join you.โ She lifted her glass and took a sip. Elizabeth wasnโt one to shy away from a drink. She didnโt want to make a fuss and ruin the mood.
โMr. Green, we still have business to discuss. Donโt overdo it,โ Charles reminded Neil with a smile.
Neil waved it off. โI know my limits.โ
Elizabeth gave Charles a reassuring look. Both she and Neil knew their limits.
โAlright,โ Charles nodded, still looking a bit worried.
โMr. Green, whatโs your role in this project?โ Elizabeth asked Neil warmly.
Neil started chatting enthusiastically with her. During their conversation, Elizabeth had a few drinks with him, but mostly she was pouring for him. Neil got so into the conversation that he didnโt notice how much Elizabeth was drinking.
But soon, Neilโs hand started wandering, occasionally touching the back of Elizabethโs hand, trying to make contact. Elizabeth just smiled and didnโt take it seriously. Neil got bolder, holding her fingers and saying, โA pretty girlโs hand feels different.โ
Elizabeth felt a wave of disgust. โWhat a creep!โ she cursed in her mind.
โReally? Mr. Green, do you like it?โ Elizabeth squinted and smiled.
โWho wouldnโt like a beautiful woman?โ His hand moved from her hand to her shoulder.
Elizabeth kept smiling. He thought she was easy. Otherwise, she wouldโve pushed him away when he first touched her hand.
Thanking this, Neil leaned closer and asked, โDo you want to get into the entertainment industry?โ
Elizabeth raised an eyebrow, staring at him. His hand slid to her waist, and he whispered, โHow about I help you out?โ
Elizabeth thought this guy was nuts. Charles was her uncle. If she wanted fame, she didnโt need his help. Even with the Percy familyโs resources, the entertainment industry has its own rules. Sometimes money isnโt enough.
Neilโs words got a smiling innocent response. โMr. Ciern, Iโm just an ordinary person. She placed his hand back on the table, tapped it gently with a warm smile, โItโs not up to me. I have to discuss it with my husband.โ
Elizabethโs husbandโฆ an influential man as you areโฆ โAt you know my husband?โ Elizabeth blinked, her face full of invented charm. She softly added, โHe is Alexander.โ
Alexanderโs name was like a spell, instantly sobering Neil.
Elizabeth sighed. She thought everyone knew she was Alexanderโs wife.
Chapter 162
She didnโt expect there were still people who didnโt know. She couldnโt imagine how Alexander introduced himself to others. Did he say he was still single?
โNeil, if I wanted to get into the entertainment industry, wouldnโt Alexander be able to help me?โ Elizabeth asked playfully.
