For men, during socializing, apart from discussing business, it is mainly about drinking. On this day, although Christopher Robinson had attempted to control his alcohol intake, he couldn't withstand his business partners urging him to drink one cup after another.
Usually, Juliet Walker would help him share some of the drinking, but as his wife was taking care of their sick child, he couldn't even touch a drop of alcohol today.
It was not only Juliet Walker who couldn't drink. The invited company bosses were also in various poor conditions. A few days ago, after the company's top executives went for a general physical examination, the doctors explicitly prohibited them from drinking and smoking.
So, one cup after another, all the drinks ended up in Christopher's stomach.
As more than half of the drinks had been consumed, the people at the banquet were half drunk. Christopher leaned on the table and stood up to go to the restroom.
