Super Rich: I Can Hear Women's Inner Voices
Chapter 63: Will You Drink With Me?"

Chapter 63: Will You Drink With Me?"

"But since the internal spy incident had long been settled, there was no reason for Sister Mina to call Jake over so late, especially during the holidays."

Even the usually infallible ability to hear inner voices failed this time, not because the superpower was ineffective, but because Manager Mina simply wasn’t thinking much.

When considering the advantages of hearing inner voices, they were quite clear. If Jake had to name a few drawbacks, he believed the first was that when facing the "inner voices" of multiple women, although he could adjust the volume of certain individuals’ "inner voices," it was ultimately a temporary fix. With too many women present, Jake couldn’t actively stop the intrusion and could only let the voices flood his mind.

The second drawback was exemplified by Manager Mina’s situation. If the person in question was single-minded, no matter how hard Jake tried, it would be futile.

Jake felt uneasy under Manager Mina’s gaze and could only steer the conversation back to the earlier topic. "Sister Mina, I really do want to be promoted to team leader, but according to company rules, I’m not qualified yet."

"That’s something I already told you not to worry about. I’ll report it to the higher-ups. You’ve just joined the company and have already made such significant contributions. Doesn’t that outweigh a mere year of work experience?"

"Then I’ll thank Sister Mina in advance."

"Why so polite with me?"

"If there’s nothing else, I should get going." Jake wanted to leave this troublesome situation as soon as possible.

Although Manager Mina’s looks and figure were outstanding in every way, her personality was something Jake could never quite grasp. Through hearing inner voices, he could only vaguely sense that Manager Mina seemed somewhat interested in him.

As Cabel had said, the "witch" truly lived up to her name.

On top of that, Jake and Manager Mina weren’t close enough for her to dress so casually in front of him, right?

Knowing Jake was coming, she hadn’t even bothered to change out of her revealing white nightgown. What was that about?

"Could it be that Sister Mina likes me?" The moment this thought crossed Jake’s mind, he immediately dismissed it.

Because it was simply impossible.

First, from a subjective standpoint, Manager Mina’s appearance and figure were so outstanding that they made ordinary girls feel inferior. Though Jake wasn’t bad-looking, his abilities and financial situation were far behind hers.

Though Jake didn’t know much about Manager Mina’s background, someone who could cultivate such a confident and noble woman like her probably had parents who were equally impressive.

Mina watched Jake with amusement, his conflicted expression utterly adorable.

"Why the rush? You haven’t even finished your coffee. It’s not even 8 yet. Do you have a girlfriend waiting for you at home?"

Jake forced an awkward smile and began gulping down his coffee, not even tasting it properly.

"Look at you, so easy to tease!" Mina simply assumed that since Jake had come over at this hour, he couldn’t possibly have a girlfriend. But she had no idea Jake had just come from his aunt’s house.

His real girlfriend was far away in another country.

"We’ve talked about work. Can’t we chat about something else? Can’t you keep your Sister Mina company for a drink?"

"Drinking in the middle of the night... typical Manager Mina, always so unpredictable."

Jake didn’t dare agree. Once the drinks started flowing, he probably wouldn’t be leaving this two-story villa tonight.

"Sister Mina, you’re joking, right? I have to drive."

"Aren’t you on vacation? What’s the problem?"

Jake was momentarily speechless. If he were a woman and Manager Mina were a man, he could understand the ulterior motives.

But Jake was a grown man. Drinking with her at night—wasn’t she afraid of...

"That’s true, but if I drink, I won’t be able to go home. It’s hard to get a taxi at this hour..." Jake gradually noticed the icy look in Manager Mina’s eyes and sighed inwardly. "Forget it. If it means getting promoted, what’s a little sacrifice of dignity?"

Seeing Jake fall silent, Mina asked, "Changed your mind? Will you drink with me?"

As if he’d just gone through an internal struggle, Jake replied, "Yeah, Sister Mina. Tonight, I’ll risk my life to keep you company."

"It’s ’keep a lady company,’ not a gentleman. Wait here." With that, Manager Mina left the coffee room, her footsteps echoing as she went downstairs.

A moment later, the sound of her footsteps returned as she came back upstairs.

The alluring Manager Mina carried two bottles of imported liquor.

Jake had some experience in the drinking scene and recognized the label "EXO." The alcohol content wasn’t too high.

He had assumed Manager Mina only enjoyed wine, but it seemed her collection was far more extensive.

If Jake had gone downstairs to see the wine cabinet, he would’ve been stunned by the array of bottles from various countries. Manager Mina didn’t just enjoy drinking—she loved collecting liquor too.

Mina had no interest in people she didn’t care about. She wouldn’t even bother having tea with them.

But Jake was different. Mina had grown fond of this exceptionally capable young man through their brief interactions.

This year, Sister Yana had been especially insistent about Mina finding a partner. It wasn’t that Mina disliked men—it was just that very few could meet her standards.

Some were lacking in looks, others in height. Some were too dull-witted, making conversation impossible...

Compared to these, financial status was the least of her concerns.

There was also a secret buried deep in her heart, the most important reason she had remained single for so long.

Her admiration for her brother.

She opened the bottle and poured a glass for Jake and herself.

"Cheers!" Without waiting for Jake’s response, she downed it in one go.

These two bottles of EXO had been a gift from her brother before his death. Mina had always treasured them, but tonight, she brought them out for Jake.

The strong liquor burned her throat, sending her thoughts spiraling.
