Chapter 1029

After that, Dazaray came to my side and invited me to sing.

I was sensible enough to know that Mr. Isaac was here to have a business talk with Theo. Heplaced a few young ladies by Theo's side because he wanted Theo t o drink more and make talkingbusiness easier.

I was in the way because I had been sitting next to Theo the whole time without saying a word. Thatwas why he sent Dazaray to take me away.

I did not know how to sing nor did I like singing. I could not help but feel irritated when she forcedme to sing.

Therefore, I got up and said, "It's getting late and we should get back to Shannon and the rest.’’

Dazaray frowned, clearly unwilling to leave. "What's the hurry? Let’s stay a while more."

She handed me a glass of wine after saying that.

I pursed my lips and said lightly, "I drank a lot today and can’t drink anymore."

Dazaray smiled faintly. "This won't make any difference. Once you drink this glass, then I'll letbygones be bygones. We'll be best friends from now o n."

I looked at her, not saying a word or taking the glass.

She was a person with a complex mind. It was not the greatest idea to befriend her.

Dazaray grabbed my hand and stuffed the glass into i t. If I did not drink it, then we would both stayawkward. I had no choice but to drink it.

I was just about to drink it when a hand reached over and took the glass from my hand.

I was stunned and looked at the man beside me.

He immediately drank the wine in the glass. Dazaray looked at him and flashed him a tender smile."Are you trying to be the hero, Mr. Grant?"

Her smile made me uncomfortable. If a beautiful lady smiled, even if the smile was not pretty, itwould not seem hideous. However, if a woman who did not have particularly outstanding looks likeDazary let out a flirtatious smile like that, it was certainly not very nice to look at.

Theo merely glanced faintly at her, not planning to say a word.

Dazaray was nonchalant about it, and the smile she thought was charming to look at was stillplastered across her face. "Wanda and I are best friends, Mr. Grant. We've known each other for solong yet I've never heard her mention anything about knowing a good-looking man like you. Don'tyou think we should get to know each other now that we've met?"

She poured another glass of wine for Theo and said with a smile, "We’ll be consideredacquaintances once you drink this glass of wine. We should hang out often after this.”

This was a social convention that one would not usually think much about.

Theo glanced at me with slightly darkened pupils. I did not know what he was thinking about.

After a long time, he took the glass of wine in Dazaray's hand and said indifferently, "If you're

Wanda’s friend, then I'll have to trouble you to take care of her in the future."

He downed the wine in the glass after saying that.

There was a flash of surprise on Dazaray's face. This was her first direct interaction with Theo, andshe was very happy because this interaction was extremely successful.

After drinking the wine in her glass, she said with a smile, "Don’t worry, Mr. Grant. Wanda and Iwent through a near-death experience together. We're extremely close, so I’ll naturally take goodcare of her."

Theo was a little stunned after hearing what she said. He then looked at me and asked curiously,"Near-death experience?"

I pursed my lips and looked away.

Dazaray thought Theo seemed very interested and started recounting excitedly, "We were soldabroad, and many things happened that nearly cost us our lives. Fortunately, we survived theordeal. We considered ourselves best friends after that."
