Sharon was infuriated. Ba****d! How dare you cross the line. I was kind enough to play along with you as your
secretary. But now you’re asking me to stand and serve all of you!? I’ll kill you!
Lacey could not stand watching Zeke’s demeanor. She said in a hurry, “That’s alright, Zeke. You don’t have to be so
strict when we’re outside the company.”
Zeke retorted, “No way. Linton Group can achieve its current success because we were strict with the rules in the
company. She should not be an exception since she is Linton Group’s employee.”
Sharon quickly regained her senses. The pinhole camera will face the screen if I sit here. I cannot capture Emily’s
movements in that case. But if I stand at the corner, I can capture everything that’s going on inside this room.
She stood up obediently at that thought. “Alright, boss. I will not repeat this mistake in the future. Please tell me
should you need anything.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLacey sighed helplessly. “Thank you for your hard work, Ms. Edward.”
Lacey knew that Zeke must have some plans in mind seeing as he asked Sharon to pretend as his secretary and
even required her to stand and serve them.
Emily handed Zeke and Lacey a bottle of beer each. “Thank you for giving me this opportunity, Lacey. Cheers.”
Lacey nodded. Then the three of them drank from their bottle of beer.
Lacey was a light drinker, so she merely took a sip.
Emily suggested, “Lacey, let me sing you a song. I’ll sing ‘A Thousand Years’ by Christina Perri to wish you a lifetime
of love and happiness with Zeke.”
Emily picked up the microphone and began singing after she spoke.
Lacey sat there rigidly as she felt a little restless because that was her first time visiting a karaoke after her
graduation.
Zeke’s lips curled upward into a mischievous smile as he stared at the beer. They say a man’s opportunity shall
present itself when a woman is drunk. Will I have the opportunity today? If yes, I’ll have to seize it no matter what!
Zeke abandoned all his hesitation and picked up the bottle of beer at that thought. “You must be nervous, Lacey.
Here, let’s finish this bottle of beer. You will feel more relaxed after drinking some alcohol.”
Lacey glanced at Zeke and asked, “Is that so?”
Zeke blushed instantaneously. Damn it. Did Lacey see through my intention?
He stammered guiltily, “I... Yes... That’s right... What do you think, Lacey?”
Lacey chuckled. He’s so cute when he’s nervous.
Lacey picked up her bottle of beer. “Let’s drink.”
Zeke was overjoyed. “Cheers.” Great! Something may happen tonight. God bless me.
The two of them finished a bottle of beer each after a short while.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmZeke was mesmerized by Lacey’s beautiful and flushed face.
He picked up another bottle of beer and was about to drink when Emily finished her song. She handed the
microphone to Lacey and Zeke.
“Lacey, I remember you’re a fan of Backstreet Boys during our schooldays. Why don’t the two of you perform their
song, ‘I Want It That Way’ for us?”
Lacey received the microphone with a faint smile.
Zeke, on the other hand, was annoyed. He cursed Emily internally. You’re so stupid, Emily Clemons. How dare you
interrupt my plan?”
Lacey sang first as the melody reverberated inside the room, “You are my fire, the one deSire. Believe when I say, I
want it that way...”
Her voice surprised everyone the moment she opened her mouth.
Lacey did not learn any singing skills. But her melodious voice was like the harmony of angels, easily captivating
others.
