GoodReadAlexander sat in silence, his expression unchanging as he shot a brief glance in her direction. Despite the lack of
visible emotion, Quinn could sense a chilling aura emanating from him, laced with an implicit warning. Quinn
responded by pursing her lips and subtly shifting her gaze away.
"Alexander, she looks like a student. Are you certain she's of age?" someone quipped, attempting to lighten the
mood. "Alexander certainly knows how to throw a party."
Alexander coolly responded, "And how, pray tell, do you know she's a student?"
Caught off guard, the man stammered, "Is she truly a student?"
Alexander's laugh echoed through the room, devoid of any genuine warmth. "Given everyone's capacity for
alcohol here, I'd wager we could all drink until dawn without any repercussions."
The man continued, "Haha, I'm not as young as | used to be. | need to take care of my health. It's best not to
drink too heavily, even with a high tolerance. After all, this is a social gathering, not a drinking contest." His tone
shifted subtly, "But, you know, it's rare that we get to let loose like this. Without sty, the drinks lose
their appeal."
"An interesting point, but..." Alexander turned to Galen, "If you're going to invite my assistant, why bring such a
decorative piece? Are you hoping to seelose?"
Galen raised an eyebrow, replying with an air of calm, "My apologies, Alexander. | wasn't aware that your office
employed any other female assistants besides Quinn."
"But let's not judge a book by its cover. Quinn may appear fragile, but as Alexander's assistant, she must have
her strengths. She might not necessarily lose." "Isn't that right, Quinn?"
Quinn tensed at the sudden attention. She had never drunk before, let alone in such a setting. She was certain

including her own, turned to Alexander.
Alexander lit a cigarette and leaned back nonchalantly, "Does it really matter if we lose or win?"

The man who had spoken earlier interjected, "If we win, the terms of our partnership must change. We should
receive at least an additional five percent, correct?" Alexander smiled, "Then why continue the partnership at
all?"
The man's expression shifted subtly, "Are you suggesting, Alexander, that you're no longer interested in working
with us?"
Alexander retorted, "Shouldn't | be the one asking you that? Since when is a business agreement determined by
the outcof a drinking game? If | win, are you going to work withfor no profit?" The man was taken
aback, "Well, the point of a partnership is to make money; it's just a matter of how much. If you're implying you
won't make a dime, then there's no point to the partnership." "Alexander," another chimed in, "even if you
relinquish five percent, you'd still make a profit, wouldn't you?"
Alexander responded casually, "But you see, I'm rather greedy. I'm not willing to give up even a single point."

Alexander continued, "I'm curious to know who cup with this rule and who agreed to it. Was it you,
