Chapter 1729
Luna’s entire body stiffened when she heard Joshua’s name.
She bit her lip and wrung her hands underneath the table.
She could not believe that…Joshua was going to attend this dinner, too.
“It seems that Lynch Group is trying to obtain Mr. Hanson’s business too,” Charlotte’s voice rang out through the earpiece in Luna’s ear. “Luna, you have to keep yourself composed and don’t get influenced by Joshua.
“Your motive today is to get on Mr. Hanson’s good side and become his friend.”
Luna bit her lip and covered her mouth with her sleeve as she whispered back, “But Mr. Hanson has already said Joshua is his new friend…”
Since Joshua and Mr. Hanson had already gotten to know each other beforehand, why did she even have to try?
She did not think she was capable of letting Mr. Hanson choose her over Joshua.
Charlotte sneered and replied, “What’s wrong? Are you scared and want to give up now?
“Lunia, how can you possibly become the new CEO of Landry Group if you can’t even handle something like this?”
Luna bit her lip when she heard this. A split second later, she let out an exhale. “Alright, I’ll try.
After all, there would be many instances of her and Joshua coming head-on in battle from this moment onward, and this was just a small dinner date. If she could not even face or handle this, how could she possibly defeat Joshua in the future?
As soon as she thought of this, Luna let out an exhale and smiled at Mr. Hanson. “I’ve always heard such great things about you, Mr. Hanson, so I decided to tag along with Uncle Harold today.
“It turns out Mr. Hanson is much kinder and friendlier than I thought.”
Mr. Hanson roared with laughter, then turned to shoot Harold a contemptuous glance. “It turns out Ms. Luna has been thinking of you as an uncle all this while.”
The color drained from Harold’s face. He let out a slight cough and replied, “That’s just what I prefer to be called, so what right do you have to comment on that?”
With that, he glanced at Luna, frowning. “Since you want to become friends with Mr. Hanson, why don’t you give him a toast?”
Luna pursed her lips and immediately glanced in Mr. Hanson’s direction.
She could not hold her liquor very well, and she had deliberately eaten some supplements that would aid her metabolism before coming here, but…
She could not help feeling a little nervous as she stared at the bottle of wine before her.
They were forcing her to toast Mr. Hanson even before the dinner had commenced, so she probably would have to drink even more after the dinner started.
Would the medication she had taken still work with that amount of alcohol?
When she recalled the bad things that had happened every time she got drunk, Luna could not help feeling a little worried.
She was not too concerned about humiliating herself, but instead, she was more worried about accidentally offending Mr. Hanson and wasting all her effort.
“Come on, drink.” Harold frowned at her. “Don’t you want to be friends with Mr. Hanson? Aren’t you willing to even take a small sip?”
Luna chewed her bottom lip, let out an exhale, and stood up. “Mr. Hanson, it’s a pleasure meeting you, and this is for you.”
With that, she closed her eyes and drank the entire glass of wine.
As soon as she did, she could feel her head spinning.
Luna could not help feeling a little strange as soon as she sat down next to Harold.
She had already taken the medication prior to this, so by right, she should not be able to feel the effects of the alcohol at all, so why was she starting to feel a little drunk?
Harold cackled, seemingly understanding the confusion in Luna’s head, and said with a leering tone, “This wine was specially prepared by Mr. Hanson for female guests like you.”
