Chapter 42: The Party
Anna’s POV
"Awake?" Samuel’s somewhat excited voice came through the phone, the music in the background softer but still clearly audible.
Hearing that simple "awake," I immediately realized Marcus was right —this bastard had deliberately gotten me drunk, luring Marcus and Jack to the bar. His tone was infuriatingly smug, filled with obvious malice. I bit my lip but decided not to let him see my anger.
"I tricked you into drinking with me.
Did your uncle scold you?" he asked with fake concern.
I refused to let him treat me like his entertainment. Suppressing my rage, I deliberately softened my voice: "Mr. Griffin, I certainly did drink as promised. I wonder if you felt my sincerity?" I reminded him of our deal.
"I felt your sincerity, but it’s not enough," he replied, the dismissiveness in his tone making my blood boil.
He clearly had no intention of honoring our agreement. I’d anticipated this, but I’d still won this round. I wouldn’t let him see my disappointment.
"As long as you felt it, that’s fine. I’m not in a hurry," I kept my face impassive, though my voice remained intentionally friendly. "Are you out drinking, Mr. Griffin? I can recommend a truly excellent place.
Olympus Club is very famous in Skyview City. Feel free to go and spend as much as you like-put it on my account." I already had a plan forming in my mind.
After hanging up, Rachel entered the room.
"Ms. Shaw, will Mr. Griffin go to Olympus Club?" she inquired.
