Chapter 149 - losing a bit of self

That evening Olivia and Peter met up in a club. Peter was very calm, he liked Olivia, but he knew that this could be a trap. So he made up his mind to be very careful. Matters about the company could not be disclosed. 

He ordered a few drinks with low alcohol content; it is said that a person cannot hold back the truth when they are drunk, so he tried his best to be careful. 

Olivia was also very smart; she did not mention work but discussed with him casually the latest entertainment gossip. Peter listened and aired his opinion from time to time. 

He noticed that Olivia seemed to be drinking a lot, "Do you have such a high alcohol tolerance?" he could not help but ask.

"Not really, I just feel today is Friday, and there is no work tomorrow; even if I get drunk, I can sleep in," Olivia answered, and then she smiled foolishly.

Her smile looked foolish, but it made Peter's heart miss a beat. At that moment, she looked innocent and charming. Her chicks were flushed, and he could tell she was getting drunk. 

" I think you should slow down," Peter advised.

"It's okay; I would use the restroom; this way, I would be fine," Olivia said and got up. She almost fell when she got up, but she held on to the table and stabled herself.

Then she walked towards the restroom. Her steps were a bit unstable. Peter laughed when he saw her trying to compose herself, pretending to be still stable. Seeing her acting carefree, Peter loosened up and finished the content in his bottle. His alcohol tolerance was not low, to begin with.

When Olivia arrived at the restroom, she brought out a small pill from her bag and swallowed it. The drug would help reduce the alcoholic effect on her body and help her become stable quickly. After taking the medication, she went to use the restroom. When she returned, she was a bit more composed. She splashed water on her face to help relieve herself, then cleaned her face and applied a bit of makeup. 

She noticed that Peter was acting very carefully, so she had to drink more to make him lower his guard. Of course, she knew she could not get rid of the evidence when drunk, but she intended to test the water at that time.

When she returned, she saw Peter sitting down and taking a small sip of his drink. "you look better," Peter commented. Peter noticed that her steps were more stable when she returned.

"of course, I even touched on my makeup after I splashed water on my face," Olivia's voice was husky. Peter guessed that it was because she was still a bit drunk. He pursed his lips and did not say a thing...

He watched her raise her hand to order more drinks, "Don't you think that is enough drinking for the night," Peter tried to stop her. He did not want to continue drinking; after all, he had been drinking since she went to the restroom and was beginning to feel drunk.

"that is the point; I already booked a car on my phone, don't worry," Olivia replied. The bar attendant came over quickly.

"you should order less," Peter said.

"Alright," Olivia did not argue, her goal was to get him drunk, but she could not be too obvious. "let's just take two glasses of morning glow," Olivia said. The attendant nodded and left.

"The alcohol content is a bit more, but the taste is so good, I can't leave without taking a glass," Olivia said. Peter was amazed when he saw her thoughtful gaze.

He almost mistook her for an alcoholic, "I don't think it is a good idea to drink too much as a woman," he said.

"You are right; it would take a while for our order to arrive, and the bar is a bit packed. Do you want to dance?" she asked.

Peter looked at her; for a moment, he had lowered his guards and believed that Olivia was just out to catch some fun. "I am not so good at dancing," Peter massaged his temple as he felt a bit drunk.

"This is not a competition; as long as your skill is passable, no one cares," She got up and pulled Peter along with her. Peter did not resist because he was afraid she would fall, seeing she was a bit drunk.

He allowed Olivia to pull him to the dance floor, the music was loud at that part of the club, and there were also a few people dancing.

Olivia was a bit unstable; the music was not too fast, so Olivia hugged him and kept rubbing him. Peter felt the veins in his head popping out. "this is seduction, " he muttered to himself, but he did not feel disgusted.

If anything, he felt excited; he did not know if Olivia acted this way because she was drunk or if she deliberately got drunk to act this way. If she acted like this because she was drunk, he would be taking advantage of her if he touched her. But if she got drunk deliberately to seduce him, it would be a waste not to touch her.

Peter fell into a dilemma in his head, but his body was reacting to her actions. The light on the dance floor was not bright, but he could see her flush chicks. He just moved unconsciously, but his attention was fixed on the movement of the girl before him. 

Olivia was not drunk at this point after all the pills had taken effect. She deliberately took a step back and moved her body in the most delicate and inviting way. She did not believe that Peter would be able to resist her.

She was right, Peter really wanted to pull her close, but he had a lot of self-discipline. "let's go back; our drink should have arrived," he said between gritted teeth. Olivia did not miss the lust in his gaze. She nodded her head and hugged his arm, causing her front to be pressed against him. "torture", Peter felt that she was doing it deliberately.

When they arrived at their table, the drink was not there yet. 

"Why is the attendant taking so long?" Peter asked. His throat felt a bit dry, and he wanted something to drink.

"the morning glow is a special mixture from this club; it takes a while," Olivia answered and Chuckled for an unknown reason. Peter just shook his head, thinking that she was drunk.

"When will your car arrive?" Peter asked.

"in another ten minutes," Olivia looked at the time and answered.

Peter nodded his head; he could not wait to leave that place, or he will do something he would regret. Just then, the attendant brought their order. 

Peter was already very thirsty, so he picked up the cup and emptied the content. When Olivia saw this, her eyes flashed. She took a small sip of her cup. 

"you seem to have high alcohol tolerance," Olivia said.

"It's not bad," Peter answered. This was the first time he took the morning glow, but he could tell that one glass was enough to get a person drunk, feeling the burning sensation in his throat.

"I used to come here often; it helps me relax after a stressful week," Olivia said and took another sip.

Peter just listened without saying anything. "this week was eventful; I have to thank you for your hint. Otherwise, we would have been filled to side the Smiths after they showed us some evidence," Olivia looked very drunk. She lifted the content of her cup and finished it.

"The Smiths have evidence?" Peter was surprised. 

"they claim to have evidence against Steam, but I believe you more; after all, Steam is just a small company. It would not stretch its hand so long. Moreover, I don't have a good impression of Miss Smith; she used her influence to suppress others," Olivia said. She was obviously drunk to be saying so much. 

" Oh, " Peter did not know what to say. 

" you must be careful with the evidence in your hand; Miss Smith doesn't seem like someone who would play fair, " Olivia sounded sincere. 

" the evidence is with Amy; this is her case to manage," Peter replied. He was already a bit drunk and did not think this little information was too much to give out. 

Olivia hides her smile at the corner of her mouth. She felt that since Amy was the one in charge, she could easily make Peter steal or destroy it. Fortunately, no one would suspect him, but she did not mention it at this moment. 

"it's almost time; I will pay the bill," Peter raised his hands. He did not want to continue sitting with her since he was losing a bit of his self-control. 

"let's split it; after all, I invited you this time," Olivia said.

"No, it would be my treat," Peter argued.

"Come on, since I invited you, I should pay; it's only fair to split the bill," Olivia said. In the end, Peter paid the bill and helped her out.

Seeing that she was so drunk, Peter was a bit worried. He helped her identify the driver she had booked. He was scared that the driver might take advantage of her, so he decided to get into the car with her, seeing that she could barely keep her eyes open. He could also feel that he was losing control, so she might not be better since she drank more.
