Chapter 1167 - 611: Extra Story: Sisi Comes Knocking 3_2

Chapter 1167: Chapter 611: Extra Story: Sisi Comes Knocking 3_2

She was quite confident in her appearance, especially after dressing up carefully tonight, but she realized that tonight she hadn’t caught any gentleman’s eye.

Just as she was wondering if she was losing her charm with age, she suddenly discovered that all the men in the room were focused on one person.

That person was Olivia Kellogg.

It turns out that the guest invited to the jewelry charity auction tonight was Olivia Kellogg.

She was showcasing jewelry worth millions on the runway at the center of the banquet.

Olivia Kellogg was indeed very beautiful, especially her eyes, clear and soulful, captivating the heart.

Alice Robinson averted her eyes from Olivia Kellogg and began searching for Rodney below the runway.

Suddenly...

Alice Robinson trembled slightly.

Under the crisscrossing lights at the banquet, Chester Robinson sat in a black suit in the central area below the runway, his handsome face smiling as he watched Olivia Kellogg on the stage.

Alice Robinson’s heart skipped a beat.

Because of Keith Antony’s presence, she knew Chester Robinson might be in Germany, but she hadn’t expected to encounter him at this banquet.

Naturally, she didn’t want to meet him, so after not finding Rodney in the stands, she decided to look elsewhere.

Finally, in a corner of the banquet hall, she saw Rodney talking to two German beauties.

Alice Robinson finally breathed a sigh of relief. She took a glass of champagne from a waiter, gracefully smiling as she walked towards Rodney.

"Mr. Rodney, what a coincidence to meet you here."

Alice Robinson held her champagne as she inserted herself into Rodney’s conversation with the two beauties, immediately capturing Rodney’s attention.

Rodney’s eyes couldn’t pull away from Alice Robinson’s figure in a sexy, form-fitting black silk dress.

Rodney exchanged a few words in German with the two German beauties, who then promptly left.

Rodney walked gentlemanly towards Alice Robinson and spoke in English, "Indeed, what a coincidence... I didn’t expect Miss Robinson would also be interested in attending such a charity banquet."

After more than a year of navigating the business world, Alice Robinson was no longer awkward in social settings. She smiled at Rodney, "Mr. Rodney, it’s actually not such a coincidence. In fact, I’m here today specifically to find you... I want to make a final effort for ’Tench’."

Rodney looked at Alice Robinson with a glimmer in his eyes, "Miss Robinson, I really don’t like discussing business after hours, but you know I’m interested in you. I’m willing to spend some time to let you convince me."

Alice Robinson winked at Rodney, "Why don’t we find a quiet place to talk?"

"Sure."

In a corner of the banquet, Alice Robinson downed the third glass of red wine with Rodney.

To be honest, her drinking capacity wasn’t great, and after three large glasses of red wine, she was already feeling a bit dizzy.

Fearing that Rodney would really get her drunk and something bad would happen, Alice Robinson feigned sobriety and said, "Mr. Rodney, you see, I’ve accompanied you with three glasses of wine, and we haven’t talked about the main topic yet. Now... can you give me ten minutes to tell you more about ’Tench’?"

Rodney leaned lazily against the sofa, smiling as he looked at Alice Robinson, "Miss Robinson, you’ve already told me many times about ’Tench’s background and history. I also believe ’Tench’ has the potential to occupy the global wine market. I previously declined you, Miss Robinson, because..." At this moment, Rodney stood up, leaned into Alice Robinson, and gently lifted her chin, "It’s just that I don’t quite understand how you’re so smooth, Miss Robinson."

Rodney’s frivolous words and the lewd undertone made Alice Robinson a bit panicked.

Although she had mentally prepared herself to face such a person, when confronted in reality, she couldn’t remain composed.

She really wanted to slap Rodney across his pervert face, but... for the sake of "Tench," she couldn’t act on her impulse.

Alice Robinson smiled, gently removing Rodney’s hand, and playfully said, "If Mr. Rodney really thinks ’Tench’ is good, why not give us a chance to bid?"

Rodney said, "If Miss Robinson could produce a prepared contract right now, I’d give ’Tench’ a chance."

"Really?"

"Of course."

Alice Robinson happily took a rolled-up contract from her purse and handed it to Rodney, "You can’t go back on your word!"

Rodney, upon seeing the contract, was first startled, then promptly signed it.

After putting the contract back in her purse, having completed her task for the night, Alice Robinson decided to make her exit...

She wouldn’t be so foolish as to tell Rodney directly she wanted to leave. Instead, she toasted with him once more, then stood up and said, "Excuse me, I need to go to the bathroom to freshen up."

Rodney, sipping his wine, nodded without any suspicion.

Alice Robinson then headed for the bathroom.

Alice Robinson truly only wanted to leave the banquet as soon as possible, but she didn’t expect Rodney to follow her.

Alice Robinson spotted Rodney in the mirror down the hall. She was startled and quickly turned around, "Mr. Ro... Rodney."

Rodney, with an enigmatic smile, said, "Miss Robinson, you told me you were going to freshen up in the bathroom, but the path you’re taking now appears to be leading out of the banquet... Could it be that after achieving your goal, Miss Robinson, you intend to leave?"

Alice Robinson quickly shook her head, "No... that’s not it, Mr. Rodney, I really just wanted to freshen up... I... I couldn’t find the bathroom."

Rodney suddenly pulled Alice Robinson into his embrace, "The bathroom is just to your left, Miss Robinson, didn’t you see it?"

Alice Robinson broke free from Rodney, forcing herself to remain calm, laughed softly, "Oh, over there... I’ll head there now."

Rodney didn’t stop her, watching as Alice Robinson headed towards the bathroom.

Alice Robinson originally planned to hide in the bathroom and then call Andie, who was waiting downstairs, to come rescue her. Unexpectedly, before reaching the bathroom door, a wave of dizziness suddenly overwhelmed her.

What was happening...

Alice Robinson shook her head, only to feel even dizzier, with a strange burning sensation rising within her body.

As she leaned against the bathroom doorframe, Alice Robinson was nearly collapsing.

Rodney seemed to have anticipated this situation, stepping forward to support Alice Robinson, "Miss Robinson, you seem to be drunk... Why don’t I take you home?"
