Chapter 226: Chapter 226: The Mandarin Duck Gets Drunk

Upon looking up, her gaze once again fell on the light yellow drink. She wondered if finishing it could stave off her empty stomach for a while.

At the same moment, Emily Walker picked up the drink. After staring at it silently for a few seconds, she took a deep breath and then… downed it in one go.

Hmm… After having one, although the taste was a bit hard to swallow, her stomach didn’t feel as hungry.

With this thought, Emily poured herself another glass and once again downed it in one go.

Well, after trying a few times, the taste didn’t seem that bad anymore.

Then, she poured herself another glass.

Having downed three glasses, Emily started to feel a bit uncomfortable.

She wasn’t hungry anymore, but why did the room suddenly seem to go crooked?

Perhaps because time had passed so slowly, Clayton Howard, feeling uneasy, came in after another seven or eight minutes. Seeing her asleep on the sofa, he stopped in his tracks.

Speaking of it, Lady Carter had been waiting for a rather long time. It seemed as though she hadn’t eaten dinner yet.

It was already 7:40 now. Most people would be hungry by now.

Walking over, Clayton softly called out,” Lady Carter?”

He called her to ask if she was hungry and if she wanted to order some food, but he didn’t dare to speak loudly for fear of waking her up.

It was better for her to sleep while waiting for Young Master rather than sitting idly, at least it wouldn’t be so boring.

Today’s deal seemed pretty difficult. In the past, as long as Young Master took care of it personally, even the biggest deals could be closed. However, today, the foreign businessmen were rather cunning. They actually started being pretentious in front of Young Master.

Although Emily was supposed to be sleeping, just as Clayton’s voice faded, she suddenly raised her head, her expression somewhat vacant, her gaze scattered, her cheeks flushed, and her eyes hazy with drunkenness. This confused

Clayton.

Frowning, he asked once more, “Lady Carter?”

Emily turned her line of sight and tilted her head, looking at the slightly bewildered Clayton in front of her.

Then, she chuckled foolishly, “Hehe… Baron Stuart…”

After saying this, she tried to stand up, with both hands grabbing at Clayton’s clothes.

However, as soon as she stood up, her body started to lose balance, and she stumbled about to fall.

Clayton, with his sharp eyes and quick hands, immediately caught her, feeling a little puzzled about her condition.

“Lady Carter, what’s wrong with you?”

After helping her stand up straight, Clayton looked at her worriedly.

Emily lifted her face and laughed foolishly at him, “Hehe… You’re done being busy…”

Only when she raised her head did Clayton faintly smell the alcohol on her. His eyes shifted and saw that a bottle of whiskey on the tea table had been opened, and only half of it was left.

That was whiskey, and Lady Carter had actually downed half a bottle?

“Lady Carter, are you alright?” He tried to wake her up, but Emily was already drunk beyond reason.

Under the influence of alcohol, staring at the face in front of her, she somehow saw it as Baron Stuart’s. “Baron Stuart, I’ll tell you…actually, I…urgh…”

An overwhelming wave of nausea hit her, and Emily quickly covered her mouth, turning around and rushing out of the private room the next second.

As soon as she left the room, Emily glanced in both directions with only her remaining consciousness, not knowing where the restroom was. However, her stomach started to churn, and the nausea increased.

With her heart racing, she didn’t have time to think and instinctively ran towards the left side.

“Lady Carter, the restroom isn’t that way…” Clayton hurriedly chased after her.

Right there, at the end of the corridor, was the private room where Young Master was discussing business. Lady Carter wouldn’t mistake that place for the restroom, would she?
