Chapter 2476: Chapter 2476: A Pair of Hands Wrapped Around Her Waist!
In Chinese dinner parties, alcohol is often used to foster connections.
This meal was no exception.
Jasmine Yale understood why every time Sylvan Cheney returned home from a social event, he would be very hungry. Sometimes she would make him late-night snacks, like dumplings, and he would eat them because these gatherings were all about drinking alcohol.
She wasn’t particularly good or bad at handling her drinks; drinking too much made her uncomfortable, but having a little didn’t really matter.
However, if she drank, she couldn’t nurse Little Clementine.
The lighting in the private room was dim, probably because there weren’t many women present, and the men smoked recklessly.
The whole room was filled with the smell of smoke and alcohol, mixed with noisy chatter.
Most of the time, Jasmine Yale was listening, observing, and learning. Though the manager of the marketing department was harsh, his methods were strong, and with just a few words, he persuaded the partner to concede 2% of the profits.
As a fellow attendee, Jasmine Yale drank quite a bit.
The dinner party was only halfway through, and she was already feeling uncomfortable, her stomach churning.
She hadn’t drunk this much for a long time, especially since she had controlled her diet very carefully after getting pregnant.
"Excuse me, I need to go to the bathroom," she said, standing up and smiling gently.
She was really uncomfortable, bending over by the sink in the bathroom, retching for a long time, but not vomiting anything, just feeling very uneasy.
In the mirror, her face looked particularly pale, devoid of any color.
She felt useless, having drunk so little yet feeling so uncomfortable, wondering when she would ever get used to it.
She washed her face, took out makeup from her bag, and touched up.
After touching up, she looked much better, but her stomach remained uneasy.
She thought it wasn’t a bad deal; coming to the dinner party, once the deal was secured, she would receive a substantial commission and bonus, and the real gain was the broadening of her horizons.
Jasmine Yale looked at the mirror, carefully tracing her lips with lipstick again.
After finishing with her makeup, she carefully put the makeup back into her handbag.
Suddenly, just as she was about to turn around, a pair of hands wrapped around her waist!
Before she could scream, the man behind closed the bathroom door, and leaned in: "Shh, don’t shout."
In the mirror, Jasmine Yale saw it was a vice president from Sam Group, a middle-aged man in his forties!
"Let go, take your hands off!" Jasmine Yale sobered up halfway, reaching to pry the man’s hands away!
Her nails dug into his hands, and he winced in pain, then chuckled: "Don’t be like that, we’re all friends. I still have a deal on my hands, do you want it? If you do, I’ll speak directly to your manager to give it to you; the commission is quite generous."
"I’m doing straightforward work, take your hands off, otherwise it won’t look good if things escalate."
"You’re new, right? For this deal, I’ll give you a 5% commission, which is nearly five hundred thousand; aren’t you tempted, young lady?"
The man’s hand was ready to move to Jasmine Yale’s waist again; Jasmine turned around, dodging and facing the middle-aged man.
"Find whoever’s tempted, sorry, I’m really not interested."
"No one else catches my eye, only you; at first glance, I thought you were stunning, haven’t seen such a beautiful girl in a long time."
"Girl? Sorry, I’m no girl, I already have a child."
The man hesitated slightly, then leered drunkenly at Jasmine Yale, appraising her from head to toe.
"A young mother? I like that even more." The man grinned slyly, "Your husband won’t know about it..."
