"Please."

Under Harrison’s enthusiastic persuasion to drink.

Lin Lang drank one glass after another.

The effects of the alcohol gradually took hold, and his eyes became somewhat glazed.

His cheeks flushed, and his consciousness began to blur, yet he still struggled to remain sober.

Seeing that Lin Lang was already tipsy, Harrison smiled with satisfaction and turned to Natalia, instructing:

"Natalia, take Mr. Lin to the hotel to rest. Make sure to take good care of Mr. Lin and let nothing go wrong."

Natalia nodded slightly and stepped forward to support Lin Lang.

Lin Lang’s body wavered a bit, and Natalia held his arm tightly, letting him lean against her.

Her body was tense, muscles subconsciously exerting a slight force, revealing her strength and caution as an agent.

With Natalia’s support, Lin Lang walked unsteadily out of the room...

Along the way, although groggy from the alcohol, he could still feel the warmth emanating from Natalia, along with her faint, unique scent, mixed with leather and gunpowder.

At that moment, to Lin Lang, this scent was even more intoxicating than the fine wine.

...

Lin Lang and Natalia had just left the banquet hall.

Rachel, with eyes sharp as an eagle, glared at Harrison:

"What exactly are you plotting? Why let Natalia appear in front of Lin Lang?"

"I’ve told you before, Lin Lang has no resistance to beautiful women, and you should never underestimate his abilities."

Harrison maintained his signature smile, calmly placing his wine glass on the table, crossing his hands on the tabletop, composed and unhurried:

"Rachel, do you still not trust my work? Natalia was temporarily assigned by Brick purely by chance."

He slightly narrowed his eyes, a hint of an inscrutable glint in his eyes, and continued.

"But since she’s here, things have become interesting. Think about it, with someone like Lin Lang, what happens if there’s a Natalia by his side?"

Rachel frowned, filled with doubt and caution, staring intently at Harrison, trying to glean a clue from his expression.

Harrison did not directly answer but instead picked up his glass, took a gentle sip, and slowly strolled:

"Brick has always seen me as a thorn in his side. After painstakingly cultivating Natalia as a capable assistant, what would his reaction be if sparks flew between Natalia and Lin Lang? Could he swallow this bitterness?"

Rachel’s heart was jolted, instantly understanding Harrison’s intention—

If Natalia got close to Lin Lang, Brick would surely take out his anger on Lin Lang!

Once conflict arose between them, Harrison could reap the benefits.

Yet she couldn’t help but worry about Lin Lang—

Even though Lin Lang was powerful,

he was not deeply experienced, and might not be a match for the cunning Brick in these power struggles.

At this moment!

Harrison suddenly stopped, his gaze appreciating Rachel:

"Rachel, you have a unique charm in this outfit today. Why not join me for a few drinks, have a good chat?"

Upon hearing this, Rachel’s expression turned cold instantly, and she replied bluntly:

"I don’t have time for that, there are important matters awaiting my attention."

After saying this, she turned and left briskly, the sound of her high heels reverberating urgently in the empty hall.

Harrison watched Rachel’s departing silhouette, sighed lightly, then picked up his glass again, sitting alone at the table, his cold gaze sweeping over the women still waiting in the banquet hall.

...

Rachel walked out of the banquet hall, a cold wind hitting her, causing her to shiver.

She knew Lin Lang and Natalia had gone to the hotel, yet felt inexplicably anxious inside.

She tried to calm herself, but her mind was filled with images of Lin Lang.

She hadn’t realized it herself, but her feelings for Lin Lang had quietly changed, leaving her both confused and uneasy.

...

In the hotel room, the soft light poured into every corner.

Natalia struggled to help Lin Lang to the bed, gently placing him down, her movements somewhat clumsy, but doing her best to be gentle.

She crouched down, carefully helping Lin Lang take off his shoes, then gently unbuttoned his jacket, slipping it off and neatly placing it on a nearby chair.

At that moment, her phone suddenly rang.

Natalia’s nerves tightened instantly.

She quickly straightened up, casting a wary glance at Lin Lang on the bed, then swiftly moved to the corner of the room to answer the call.

Her voice was pressed low, uttering only a few succinct keywords:

"At the hotel, yes, yes, understood!"

After finishing the call, she hung up, returned the phone to her pocket, and looked back at Lin Lang.

The sight left her stunned—

Lin Lang, whom she thought was drunk beyond reason, was lying comfortably on the bed, eyes clear, showing no trace of inebriation.

Natalia slightly furrowed her brow, a hint of suspicion and caution flashing in her eyes, then she said:

"Since you’re alright, I’ll be going now."

Lin Lang’s lips curved slightly, revealing a teasing smile, jokingly saying:

"Is this how you take care of me, as ordered by Harrison?"

Natalia’s expression tightened, her eyes fixed on Lin Lang, her tone calm:

"What else do you need from me?"

Lin Lang sat up a bit, leaning against the headboard, a playful glint in his eye, and said:

"What do you think? I thought Harrison’s intentions were quite clear."
