I Became His Sweetheart

organ.” Melanie had been avoiding looking at the three people opposite her, but now, she couldn't help but lift her eyes to look.

Isla was blushing. She raised her pinky as she picked up her glass, ensuring her movements were elegant and ladylike. Then, she walked to Jeffrey's side, saying. “Thank you, President Morgan.”

Her voice was excessively sweet. “Here’s to you.” “| don’t drink.” Jeffrey declined without hesitation.

“Haha! Are you worried that my daughter will drink too much alcohol, President Morgan?” Luis saved Isla from the awkwardness. “Isla can’t drink at all, but she said she must have a drink today since you are here.”

Seeing that Jeffrey still remained unmoved, Luis tried to smooth things over. “Since you don’t drink, things are just right. You don’t have to force yourself to drink, Isla.”Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Isla lowered her head awkwardly.

“How about this? President Morgan, can you replace the wine with water and have a drink with me?” Isla didn’t give up and remained standing beside Jeffrey.

Sensing that there seemed to be two intense gazes locking onto her from across the table, she put down her glass. It might be that she drank the two glasses of wine too quickly just now, but at this moment, her head was faintly throbbing.

She leaned on the table and stood up. “I’m sorry, | need to excuse myself for a moment.” Then, she turned and walked out.
