“There really is no need for it. Thank you for offering, Mr. Lloyd. I will go back to the room first,”Ashlynn said, and then took a bow before turning around and walking away.
Corentin went to the sink. He looked at himself in the mirror, adjusted his glasses, and was onlysatisfied after he looked put together.
It was in the afternoon, so everyone was only mildly tipsy, just like Anne was
When Ashlynn returned to the main room, she did not drink anymore.
Corentin helped her to block most invitations and half-jokingly said, “Don’t you scare away myAnne's personal assistant.”
The other colleagues did not insist on making her drink either.
When Ashlynn woke up, she felt something was off in her room.
It was not a regular hotel room. It was spacious, and the interior was luxurious. It was more like aroom at a private residence.
Ashlynn remembered that she had come out of the hotel and then entered the car together withAnne but had no recollection of what had happened after that.
She got out of bed and walked out of the room. 1
She was walking in a long corridor, following her instincts. When she saw the man walking towardher, her footsteps paused, her muscles tensed in defense, and every nerve in her bone wasscreaming terror toward this face.
"Did you have a good sleep?”
Ashlynn only felt relieved after Corentin spoke, “Mr. Lloyd, where is this place? Why am I... Shelooked around and was somewhat certain that this was Corentin’s residence.
“You fell asleep as soon as you got in the car and did not wake up when we arrived. So I got youhere with Anne.”
“Then, where is Ms. Vallois?”
“She is with the rest at Lloyd Group office. It is almost four o'clock now. I think you might as well notgo there anymore.”
Ashlynn did not expect herself to have delayed so much in her itinerary after the wine. She felt thatshe was out of place as an assistant.
“Then I will go back to the hotel first. I will not trouble you anymore here.” Ashlynn looked down ather toes.
“Do you hate me?” Corentin asked.”
Ashlynn looked up. Corentin was looking harmless and even a little innocent. She explained, “Ofcourse not, I just feel that it was not appropriate for me to do this.”
She felt somewhat uneasy before him.
It was not only because of his mighty identity.
“There is no problem at all. There are plenty of rooms here. You do not want anyone to interrupt.There will be no one appearing in front of you, including me,” Corentin said.
Ashlynn did not know what to say anymore. She did not think this through
“I will have dinner at the Lloyd family’s chateau with Anne tonight. You just have to stay here andnot worry about anything. You can tell the servants anything that you need.” Corentin looked at hiswatch and then said, “It's about time.”
Then, he turned and took out his phone to call Anne, telling her that he would be picking her up atthe office.
Ashlynn watched warily as Corentin descended the stairs.
Anne boarded the Bintley and asked, “Is Ms. Thompson awake?”
"Yes, she is. She woke up around four.”
“I did not expect her to have a lower tolerance than me.” Anne laughed.
“Do you wish to hire an assistant with a better tolerance, who can even help you to take on yourportion,” Corentin said.
For someone at his level, he never had to drink the wine on his table. His assistant would always bethere to help him with it, except if he wanted to drink himself.
“No need, I still have another male assistant, who has a good alcohol tolerance,” Anne said, she thenremembered her objective for this trip, so she diverted the conversation.
"How long does it take for us to get there?”
“Half an hour.”
Anne did not ask further. She did not have to ask because she could easily replace out if she just wentand experienced it for herself.
The Lloyd family’s chateau was not as grand and lavish as Corentin’s. It was instead rather vintage.All the furniture was lined with gold embellishment, looking old but established.
Next to the window was a long table, and next to which stood a man.
Anne immediately recognized that he was the man from the photos. He was still wearing his suit,except that he looked much older than in photos. His hair was half white too. His aura and energywere still strong.
