Chapter 621: Annual celebration and getting drunk again Chapter 621: Annual celebration and getting drunk again Finally, Victoria Garcia’s collaboration with Francis Davis’s fabric and accessories factory had made significant progress.

Francis Davis did not make things difficult for Victoria, and as a result, agreement was reached on an acquisition that Victoria favoured. They were just one signature away from sealing the deal.

Although the anniversary celebration was mainly for internal staff, it was also normal to invite some familiar business guests. Victoria, as the company’s president, naturally stepped onto the stage first to give her opening remarks.

Victoria kept her remarks brief, and after just five minutes, she left the stage to the employees who had worked hard throughout the year, allowing them to thoroughly enjoy the event!

“Victoria!” Francis Davis unexpectedly appeared behind her.

Victoria turned and smiled at him, “I’m happy you could come, thank you!”

They clinked their glasses together, and Victoria took a symbolic sip.

Standing in a corner of the party, Francis Davis looked at Victoria’s smiling face and felt an inexplicable twinge in his heart, which quickly subsided.

“You look lovely tonight,” Francis Davis complimented with a smile, “Victoria, you have truly grown up. In my memory, you have always been that little girl with the pigtail.”

Now, she was all grown up, elegant, sexy, charming, intelligent, and strong.

He wished.

He could shower her with the most beautiful praises.

“Thank you for the compliment,” Victoria responded with a smile, not resisting the urge to ask, “Why didn’t you bring Mila along?”

Thinking of that sweet-toothed girl, whose innocent smile was incredibly comforting.

Mentioning Mila, Francis Davis’s expression darkened, and he emptied his glass in one gulp.

Noticing Francis Davis’s current mood, Victoria couldn’t help but ask, “Did you have a quarrel with Mila?”

“If only it were just a quarrel!” Francis Davis said with a hint of sadness in his eyes, giving his handsome face a touch of melancholy.

“Mila seems to have a great personality, and she’s a girl, after all. You can try to coax her. Look for an opportunity to talk it out with her, and you two will be fine in no time,” Victoria optimistically suggested to Francis Davis.

Truthfully.

She wasn’t that good at offering consolation.

“Victoria, if you don’t mind, can you keep me company for a few drinks?” said Francis Davis, sounding rather down, “I don’t have many friends in Metropolis now, and besides you, I don’t know who to turn to.”

Seeing Francis Davis in such pain and discomfort, Victoria couldn’t bear it.

“Alright, I can, but I’m not good at drinking, so I can only keep you company. Is that okay?” Victoria knew her limits when it came to alcohol consumption.

Upon hearing her agreement, Francis Davis replied cheerfully, “That’s fine, as long as there’s someone by my side. I don’t really like drinking alone.”

Victoria told him, “But I have to bring a third wheel with me, of course, I can have her sit far away.”

“Could it be Mr. Johnson?” Francis Davis laughed, “If it’s him, that’s even better. I can drink with him too.”

Victoria shook her head, “It’s my assistant Candy Foster, she’s now in charge of protecting me.”

Victoria was a little less guarded with Francis Davis.

“I understand, Mr. Johnson cares about you, I don’t mind,” said Francis Davis with a carefree expression.

Seeing he had no objections, Victoria informed her colleagues briefly, then left with Candy Foster and Francis Davis.
