He was wearing a white suit and dressed very ordinarily, except for
a diamond button on his bow tie, which made him look like he had specially spent time
picking out his outfit.
“I didn‘t see the two of you earlier... Why are you drinking here alone? Why don‘t you go and
chat with everyone?”
He was well–mannered and spoke elegantly.
Angelina stood up immediately, not expecting that he would talk to the two
of them, and said nervously, “It‘s fine, Mr. Yates. We‘ll just be here.”
“You don‘t have to be so cautious.”
He saw the embarrassment on her face, smiled, and interrupted her. “Just call me Yates.”
“I don‘t think that‘s a good idea, Mr. Yates –” Angelina quickly covered her mouth again before she
could finish her sentence.
He no longer troubled her but turned to Stella, sized her up and down, then expressed his sincere
admiration. “Your dress is gorgeous.”
It suited her very well.
That stunning red lit up her whole body.
He had always known she was beautiful, but when she put on this dress, he realized
that her beauty was so eye–catching that it was hard not to stare at her.
Stella had heard Angelina‘s compliments countless times today, so she
was immune to these words and smiled at him. “Thank you, Mr. Yates. You are very handsome today a
s well.”
Her compliments sounded official, with polite courtesy.
Yates smiled and clinked glasses with her.
It was her senior who was making a toast to her, so she naturally couldn‘t just drink juice.
After hesitating, she eventually picked up the cocktail glass, clinked glasses
with him, and took a shallow sip.
Yates didn‘t notice her subtle movement.
After all, in this circle, unless they were allergic to alcohol, it was very common to drink a few glasses.
Those who didn‘t come from a wealthy family and wanted to climb
to the top, especially, wouldn‘t say no to drinks.
Because of the manager, some things could not be explained too clearly in the past.
After Yates drank his drink, he suddenly said to her, “You should understand what I mean...”
Her eyes flickered, and she nodded slowly. “I didn‘t take it to heart.”
He breathed a sigh of relief and looked a little more relaxed. “I. thought you would hate me for alienatin
g you.”
He shrugged. “I don‘t have a choice. This is how it is. I can only listen to my manager...”
His breath reeked of alcohol.
Stella was a little surprised when she heard him say these and asked, “Mr. Yates, have you
had too much to drink?”
Yates chuckled when he heard her words, and his eyes flickered.
There were only Ella and Angelina present, so he stopped being so careful and said to
the two of them, “Sometimes, I actually envy your current state. You can choose how you want to
act and do whatever you want. ...” :
Seeing this, Angelina whispered in Stella‘s ear, “It looks like he‘s drunk...”
How could two minor actors like them do whatever they wanted?
Only a star like him could have such freedom.
Although an agent managed him, he was far better than the two, who didn‘t even have an agent.
Stella didn’t say anything. She just looked at the cocktail in her
hand and said lightly, “Mr. Yates, should we call your manager for you?”
Yates shook his head and seemed to have sobered up. “Maybe "
