Chapter 73
Eloise thought that the world was such a small place as she followed Xavier back into the room with more booze.
“Who called for this meet–up?” asked Elise
“It was lack, but he did it for Jacob’s. There was no other way because Jacob couldn’t lower his ego Robinson Group has a project that Kilbourne Group wants in on. However, it isn’t going well for them and the person in charge of that project is William,” explained Xavier.
Eloise nodded. It seemed like Jacob had failed to kiss up to Llam, so he was trying to get close to William now.
Even so, William was just an employee. It wasn’t up to him to make the final decision even if he was the person in charge.
“Eloise, hast pass me the bottles later. You don’t have to go in,” said Xavier.
Eloise snorted and said, “Don’t spoil the fun for me. I want to watch the show
Xavier sighed and said, “Jacob’s pissed off at William. He might insult you again.”
did Willian piss him off?” asked Eloise
“William doesn’t even have to do anything. His presence alone is enough to trigger Jacob. It’s because Jacob has always been compared to William since
“But William was better than him at everything. Jacob only got to escape that after William went overseas to study,” explained Xavier
“So, that’s why he said all that nonsense earlier?” asked Eloise.
Xavier coughed and said, “Actually, it’s my fault. I let my tongue slip and said that all the girls in high school had a crush on William, including Sophia.”
“Sophia had a crush on William?” asked Eloise.
She even confessed to him in public, but he rejected her heartlessly.”
“I had no idea,”
” said Eloise
Xavier shook his head and said, “You should have seen how awkward it was for Sophia but she ended up becoming the laughingstock of the whole school.”
ophia. She was so co
was so confident that
at William would accept her confession,
Then, Xavier started mimicking the way William had teased Sophia back then
“Are you Jacob’s girlfriend? You’re not? If you aren’t, then why do you make him chase you around? I’m sorry, but I don’t get your sense of humor. You’d better stop it!*
Eloise laughed aloud. She could picture how embarrassed Sophia must have felt.
William had obviously stood up for Jacob by teasing her, but it must have gone right over Jacob’s head because he was so dense.
William and Jacob were already drinking when they got back to the room. Jack was trying to talk them out of it, but they just ignored him.
“Bring me the booze!” shouted Jacob.
Xavier went over to him and said while opening the bottles, “We’re just a bunch of old friends here to catch up. Don’t drink so much”
“Drinking is also a way of catching up,” said Jacob with a laugh.
He looked over at Eloise and said, “Sit here and pour my drinks”
Eloise snorted and walked over to William. She refilled his glass and whispered, “Don’t drink too much.”
William touched her hand under the table and smiled mischievously.
“Just watch how I’ll make him pay for bullying you,” said William
“You don’t even know each other. What are you talking about?” asked Jacob suspiciously,
William cocked his head and smiled
“I was asking her if she has a boyfriend,” said William.
“How is that any of your business? asked Jacob.
“Of course it is. I’ll chose her if she doesn’t,” said William
Jacob clenched his hand around his glass and shouted at Eloise. “Come here!”
Eloise ignored him and said to William, “I’m single.”
“Then can I try to win your heart?” asked William.
“Of course.
Jacob slammed a beer bottle on the table and shouted, “Didn’t you want to have a drinking contest? Bring it on!”
