He pulled out a chair and sat down by Lydia’s side. Lydia loved the dishes she made. Seeing the table full of dishes, she decided to eat them.

Marcel wanted to open the wine cabinet, but Lydia quickly said, “Don’t!”

After that, she walked to the wine cabinet and picked out a bottle of white wine. “The wine city’s Tang’s Shao Fang. The fragrance is clean and the taste is smooth. Shall we?”

Marcel agreed without hesitation. “Sure!”

She took two white wine glasses and served them with stir-fried yellow beef, sour soup, fat beef, boiled meat slices, and a plate of lobster.

The two of them drank one glass after another. In the end, when the bottle of white wine was finished, neither of them was drunk.

For a moment, they both had the idea of testing each other’s alcohol tolerance, so they opened the second bottle.

When the second bottle was finished, Lydia felt a little buzzed, but she was not drunk yet, so she opened yet another bottle.

Before the third bottle was finished, Lydia was already leaning on the table. Marcel’s face was red, and he silently noted down Lydia’s tolerance for alcohol.

Marcel then picked Lydia up and put her on the sofa. After adjusting the temperature of the air conditioner, he gently lay behind her and hugged Lydia to sleep.

The next day, when Lydia woke up, she saw Marcel putting a plate of sandwiches on the table. He was not wearing a shirt, and his strong muscles emitted a masculine scent under the gentle morning light.

Lydia suddenly realized that she had been drunk last night! And that she had slept in Marcel’s office!

When Marcel saw that she had woken up, he brought her a cup of hot milk. “Drink this first. Eat something later. I have a meeting to attend.”

Lydia was about to drink the milk when there was a knock on the door. Lydia was so scared that she wanted to hide in the kitchen.

Marcel smiled. “It’s okay. It’s just my assistant.”

Then he gently opened the door and Nourse handed him a set of clothes. Marcel quickly changed his clothes in front of Lydia.

Then he walked in front of Lydia and gave her a kiss. “I’m leaving first.”

He caressed Lydia’s head. “You looked so cute when you were scared just now.”

Lydia was being teased and could not help but frown. “Hurry up and leave!”

Marcel took his things and walked to the door. He opened the door and walked out. He was stunned for a moment before he turned around and said, “I hope that you will consider my suggestion last night.”

Lydia did not say anything. Marcel did not say anything more either. He closed the door and left.

Lydia looked at the time. It was only six o’clock. It was normal for her to get up at six o’clock to practice martial arts, but for Marcel to go to a meeting at this timing… it was really unfortunate for the people in their company to have such a boss.

Lydia put everything away and went straight to the dojo.

She had been practicing martial arts since she was young, and she had good skills with martial arts. She had previously encountered a robbery, so she helped the victim subdue the robber. The person she saved took a fancy to her martial arts and recommended her to be a teacher in her brother’s martial arts school.

From then on, Lydia would occasionally come to class.

As soon as she stepped into the martial arts school, the owner of the martial arts school, Bobby, dragged her out again. Lydia asked, “What’s wrong, Boss?”

Bobby’s expression was not very good. “Don’t go in today.”

“Are you going to fire me?”

“No.” Bobby thought for a long time before saying, “I don’t know what’s wrong with Denton, but he actually convinced several teachers to challenge you today. It’s obvious that he wants to defeat you by having you fight multiple opponents in succession.”

“Denton?” Lydia fell into deep thought. Denton’s martial arts were not bad, and he was usually very good to people. But for some reason, he had been a little unfriendly to Lydia recently. “I didn’t offend him.”

If Denton was a woman, then the other party might be jealous of him. But Denton was a big man. They had a good relationship before, but it had now turned hostile.

Bobby said, “I won’t allow a fight to happen in my dojo. But Denton said that he just wanted to spar with you. Several teachers have used this excuse of sparing as well. They have been trying to convince me for several days.”

“You can’t hide from what’s coming. Boss, let’s spar then. This matter has to be resolved. Otherwise, it would be uncomfortable for all of us working here.”

Bobby thought for a moment and said, “Why don’t I team up with you and we’ll fight them together.”

“No need. You’re the boss. How can you stand on my side? Do you still want your dignity?”

“You’re still saying such meaningless things at this juncture.”

“I can handle them myself.” Not to mention other things, Lydia was very confident in her own martial arts skills.
