Chapter 316 The Reckoning
Blanche Capra looked at York Charlie in disbelief; it had only been the time she’d been in a trance for a moment, and York Charlie had drank that glass of wine, along with a little bit of the sadness of a strong man’s sacrifice.
Even after drinking it, he made her drink it in one gulp as well.
Did something happen to York Charlie?
As curious as Blanche Capra was, she was urged by York Charlie to drink the glass she was holding before that happened, “One gulp.”
York Charlie was doing this for no particular purpose, it was just an afterburner and he was fooling around while he was drunk.
In other words, he got drunk shortly after drinking it.
Blanche Capra was no better than him, and after drinking it, she only felt the sweetness that slid down her throat with a hint of sweetness that made her float, and the alcohol went down her bloodstream to paralyze her nerves, and she had the feeling that the weight of her own body was lighter.
The York Charlie in front of her eyes also became blurred, only barely able to see his outline, she put on a smile, not even noticing a hint of difference, muttering, “I’m a little sleepy, take a nap.”
And then just plopped down on the table and got drunk.
York Charlie wasn’t much better, losing consciousness despite the fact that he was hanging on for dear life.
The fact that they were drunk gave the manager of the restaurant a headache, “Are these two people that bad drinkers? I can’t believe they got drunk on one glass of wine.” Although this wine was expensive, the degree was only in the twenties.
The waiter chimed in, “What now? We can’t just let them sleep here.”
As the restaurant staff worried about the matter, Delia Field suddenly arrived, bringing two helpers to pick up Blanche Capra and York Charlie and take them outside.
Delia Field handed them a check and apologized to them with a smile, “I’m really sorry for the trouble my friends caused you, they don’t drink very well.”
“It’s okay, it was an honor to serve you.”
Delia Field added, “This is my small compensation to you, I only have one request, in order to save my friend and my fiancé’s face, and also to avoid any speculation about them from the outside world, please treat what you saw and heard today as if it never happened, is that okay?”
Seeing the amount on the check, the manager nodded like garlic, “No problem.”
“Thanks.”
Delia Field turned around and left, a vote of restaurant employees still looked in the direction she left and had to sigh, “Delia Field is really too goddess-like, I like it so much.”
Little did anyone know that she was now doing a disservice.
Delia Field arranged a room at a nearby international hotel and had York Charlie and Blanche Capra carried to the bed, she drew a dozen bills from her purse and held them out to the helpers, “Here’s a tip for you guys, you can go now.”
“Okay!”
The helpers didn’t forget to close the door for her as they left.
Looking at the drunken and unconscious York Charlie and Blanche Capra on the bed, Delia Field had a complicated look on her face.
Although she didn’t know why York Charlie agreed to have dinner with Blanche Capra, and was secretly angry about it, the most important thing right now was to find the flash drive that York Charlie had with him.
Feeling the flash drive from his pants pocket, Delia Field immediately used the hotel’s own computer to open it, and inside was indeed all the data from the bidding meeting.
York Charlie had been busy for nearly half a month for these data.
Now all she had to do was to leak the data to Moore Howard, and all his efforts would be in vain.
Coming in unprepared, Delia Field had to use her cell phone to take pictures of the data, not missing a beat.
She was going to look for anything else from him that she had missed, however just as she reached her hand into York Charlie’s pocket, York Charlie suddenly grabbed her hand.
Delia Field almost screamed in shock, but she managed to cover her mouth in time.
York Charlie woke up?
Holding back her fear and panic, Delia Field turned back to look at York Charlie’s face, only to see that the almost perfect face looked calm, his eyes were tightly closed, it didn’t look like he had woken up.
But his grip on Delia Field’s hand didn’t let go.
Delia Field was shocked and scared, thinking that her plan with Moore Howard had been exposed, but York Charlie spoke at that moment, his voice a little hoarse, “I won’t give up on you, not in this lifetime … ”
Delia Field realized that York Charlie it was just a nightmare.
She breathed a sigh of relief, and then carefully broke York Charlie’s slender fingers a little bit, until he no longer gripped her arm and would not let go.
Discreetly, Delia Field ran off as soon as she had the data.
She’d forgotten to unplug the flash drive from her computer.
…
York Charlie had a rare night’s sleep and had a dream.
In the dream, he had been looking for someone to see, but looking around, he hadn’t seen that person.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Delia Field was standing beside him obviously, looking at him with a smile on her face, but his heart still did not feel satisfied, but even more empty.
The person he was looking for was not Delia Field.
In his dream York Charlie turned around as if he had suddenly remembered something, and he found the person he had been looking for deep down inside.
Blanche Capra was standing right in front of him, looking up at him with tears in her eyes and an expectant look in her eyes.
How was this possible?
York Charlie woke up from his dream, his breathing disrupted by what could be described as a nightmare, and the pain coming from his brain prevented him from thinking for a moment.
When the pain got better, York Charlie tried to remember what had happened to him last night.
All he could remember was having an after-dinner drink with Blanche Capra, a complimentary drink from the restaurant, and then getting drunk.
He has no memory of what else happened after that.
When he woke up again, he and Blanche Capra were lying down in a hotel room, and still sharing a pillow.
But they were fully clothed, so nothing had happened last night that shouldn’t have.
Not a moment later, Blanche Capra also woke up, her reaction was the same as York Charlie, her face crumpled into a ball, “Where is this place … my head hurts.”
“We were drunk, you forgot?” York Charlie told her in a no-nonsense manner.
He was feeling irritated right now, why nothing good ever happens when he runs into Blanche Capra.
Blanche Capra then slowly slowed down, she looked down at her clothes, they were all still on, it was her hair that was messed up and she had to take the clips off and re-updo her hair.
Unable to find a suitable reason to explain their inexplicable space travel, Blanche Capra and York Charlie both tacitly agreed that they had gotten drunk last night and come to the room on their own.
Other than that, they didn’t know what else to explain.
As she coiled her hair, York Charlie’s eyes fell on the computer in the room; there was nothing unusual about the computer, it was the flash drive that was the focus.
Delia Field had left in such a hurry last night that she had forgotten to pull it out for a moment.
York Charlie immediately got up and got out of bed to check the data on the flash drive, and did not find any data loss, which is a blessing in disguise.
However, there is no guarantee that the other party was prepared and had already made a copy.
At this time, Blanche Capra also got out of bed, still muttering, “Why do I feel something strange, I obviously did not drink so much last night.”
“That’s what I thought.” York Charlie unplugged the flash drive, and he stood up, looking at Blanche Capra with an expressionless face.
Four eyes met, and for once they came to an understanding-there was definitely something fishy about this.
