Upon seeing his reaction, Lotus couldn’t help but glance at Alta’s expression.
Then, fueled by excitement, she gathered her courage and asked, “CEO, would you like to join us?
Speaking of which, Alta has been working at Hill Group for so long without a welcome party! Why don’t
we have one tonight together, it can be considered a double celebration! What do you think?’
Upon hearing this, Alta thought to herself that Lotus would surely be disappointed.
How could Jason participate in such a gathering?
As soon as this thought crossed her mind, she heard the deep voice of the man saying, “Sure, my
treat.”,
Everyone cheered in unison, except Alta. She turned her head back with a look of astonishment.
Jason simply cast a casual glance at her. His eyes seemed to ask, “What are you looking at? Is there
something strange?”
Then, he turned around and left directly.
In just half an hour, the news of the successful optimization of the formula spread throughout the entire
R&D department.
People from other research labs were very curious and came to see what was happening.
In the Research Lab 1.
Gail also learned about the optimization of the formula. She knew that Jason was going to treat
everyone from Research Lab 2 to a meal tonight.
She sat in her office. Consumed by jealousy, her face gradually contorting, appearing quite terrifying.
She simply couldn’t believe that Alta had that ability!
She knew better than anyone else about this woman’s capabilities!
It must be because she had Aletta’s help. Otherwise, how could that despicable person have such
great skills?
However, regardless of how sour Gail felt, Alta had truly made a name for herself in the R&D
department.
In the evening, after work.
Everyone from the Research Lab 2 set off to have dinner. The venue was booked by Eaton, a private
room in a hotel under Hill Group. About ten people sat at each table, creating a lively atmosphere.
However, because of Jason’s presence, everyone was somewhat reserved.
Even Lotus didn’t dare to be too presumptuous.
But she had no reservations when it came to Alta. She raised her glass and said, “Come on, let’s have
a toast to celebrate the successful optimization of the formula!”
“And in the future, please make sure to teach us all your skills!”
Upon hearing this, the rest of the people chimed in.
Alta chuckled. She raised her glass and responded politely.
Upon seeing this, Jason said to Alta next to him, “If you can’t handle alcohol, don’t drink too much.”
After a few drinks, Lotus became a bit bolder. Upon hearing his words, she said, “CEO, are you that
concerned about Alta? Otherwise… would you mind drinking a few glasses on her behalf?”
Jason looked at her indifferently. His gaze was still imposing, like saying, “You’re quite audacious.”
The rest of the people also felt that Lotus was being bold.
She actually dared to ask the CEO to drink on someone else’s behalf.
Lotus shrank her neck, regretting her words. She felt that she shouldn’t have been so presumptuous.
She was about to retract her statement when she saw Jason take the glass. He actually drank the
remaining half.
Everyone cheered.
Only Lotus felt a bit uneasy. She asked Alta in a low voice, “Uh-oh, what if I get fired tomorrow?”
Alta couldn’t help but burst into laughter at hearing this.
Everyone had a great time during the dinner.
Afterward, the group of people clamored to change venues and headed to Flakes Club.
Jason was a distinguished guest at this place. He went directly to the best private room upon arrival.
Once they arrived, the atmosphere became livelier compared to the restaurant. People started to have
fun, singing and playing drinking games…
Of course, due to Jason’s presence, no one dared to call for handsome guys or beautiful girls as
companions.
Mainly because they didn’t have the courage!
Alta rarely frequented such places and didn’t understand the various games. She sat quietly on the
side and observed.
As for Jason, no one dared to bother him.
Only Lotus, being bold. She asked, “CEO, would you like to play?”
Jason replied with little interest, “You guys play.”
Upon hearing this, Lotus didn’t extend the invitation further. She quickly moved closer to Alta’s side and
whispered, “Did you notice? I feel like the CEO is particularly down-to-earth tonight. Although he still
has a somewhat unapproachable aura, he seems unexpectedly easy to get along with…
Alta agreed with this statement.
This man today was somehow different from usual!
He clearly doesn’t like this kind of occasion, yet he insisted on coming along.
Wonder why?
Alta thought about this and couldn’t help but glance several times in the direction where Jason was
sitting.
Like sensing her gaze, Jason also turned his head and happened to catch her eyes.
In the next moment, he leaned over suddenly. His lips closed to her ear, and asked in a low voice,
“What’s the matter?”
At that instant, it felt like an electric current surged through her.
Alta felt a tingling sensation in her ears. Her whole body felt. weak.
With the scent of alcohol in the air, it was like she was becoming intoxicated.
Alta quickly created some distance and her gaze appeared uneasy. She replied, “Nothing.”
“If there’s nothing, then why are you looking at me?”
Jason leaned slightly closer to her, a faint smirk appearing on his lips.
Being exposed so directly, Alta’s cheeks immediately turned red.
She pressed her lips together and nervously replied, “I wasn’t looking at you. Besides, there are others
in that direction too.”
Jason chuckled and muttered to himself, “Stubborn.”
Then, he straightened his posture. He casually picked up the wine glass from the table, and swirled it
absentmindedly.
His movements were casual but still captivating.
Alta clutched her chest, feeling like there might be something wrong with her heart.
Since when did it start beating so fast and continuously accelerating?
Could there be a real problem?
Or was it because of the alcohol?
Alta’s mind was in a jumble, trying not to overthink. Hence, she picked up the wine glass and drank
several glasses in a row.
Jason didn’t stop her.
Later in the night, people started to disperse.
Alta was already in a haze, with things appearing as blurred images.
When she stood up, her bones felt weak. She had no strength in her body. Her steps were somewhat
unsteady.
Just as she was about to fall, Jason reached out and helped her, letting her lean on him.
Lotus and the others couldn’t help but express their concern. They asked, “Are you alright, Alta?”
“A bit drunk,” replied Jason on behalf of Alta. He lowered his gaze and glanced at the petite woman
beside him.
However, to their surprise, Alta spoke up and muttered, “I’m not drunk!”
Like to prove it, she forced herself to stand up straight. She continued, “Don’t believe me? Watch, I can
still walk in a straight line.”
Then she pushed Jason away and tried to walk forward.
However, after taking a few steps, her gait stumbled.
Seeing this, Lotus reached out to support her and said, “You’re in this state, and you still claim you’re
not drunk? If I had known your alcohol tolerance was so poor, I wouldn’t have let you drink that much.”
The others agreed with her assessment.
Jason didn’t say anything. He just calmly instructed, “Let’s disperse. I’ll take her back.”
Then he instructed Lotus, “Organize everyone. Those who are sober can help call for a car to send the
intoxicated ones back.”
Lotus naturally had no objections upon hearing this.
After all, the relationship between Alta and the CEO was extraordinary. The CEO naturally had to play
the role of the flower protector.
