Blake‘s POV
Hugging Catherine goodbye this morning putin a good mood for the day.
Just after I ended the meeting and was about to return to the office, my royal family suddenly Mind– Linked me.
I waved at Henry. I went to the office, closed the door, and sat in my chair.
I connected to Mind–Link, and it was Leo.
Only then did I know that he had returned to Sayreville.
“Blake, Catherine is drunk. Cand take her away,” Leo said through Mind–Link.
When I heard his words, I was displeased. I responded with a hint of anger, “Why is she with you?”
Leo said, “She askedfor help and invitedto a meal. I guess I have to pay for myself now.”
“Why did she treat you?” I was very unhappy. She had never treatedto a meal.
“She needs my hielp.”

At the stime, I had already stood up from my chair and walked out with my coat.
Leo sounded helpless. He paused for a few seconds before replying, “Anyway, just get here and take her away. I didn‘t mean to get her drunk. She was the one who got hersell
drunk.”
“I‘ll settle accounts with you later. Tellthe address.” I was very upset when I learned that Catherine was eating and drinking with Leo.
I disconnected Mind–Link and headed for the restaurant.
When I arrived, I saw Catherine groaning on the sofa. She was drunk and felt very uncomfortable. She was blushing, and her eyes were blurred.
“What did you call me?”
After Catherine heard my voice, she shook her long hair and tried to keep herself awake.
“Blake?” Catherine opened her eyes wide, lier face full of disbeliel.
I walked closer to the bed, putting my hands next to her body. I looked down at her eyes.
“Catlierine, who said you could drink?” There was anger in my voice. It was obvious that I hated it when she was drunk.
Catherine frowned. “I drank because of work. Why did you bringhere? I‘m going back to the office.”
“Look at you. You alınost stripped yourself naked!” I looked down at the collar of her blouse that she had just untied.
Catherine lowered her head and saw that her blouse had been untied at spoint in
time.
She pointed to my face in shock. “You... You... What are you doing?”
She thought it was me. I raised my eyebrows and sneered, “You did this. Not me.”
Catherine quickly tried to button her blouse.
“If you are not feeling well, just lie down and sleep. I won‘t let you out of this door with you being like this.” I was still furious. Had she been drunk in front of other men before?
She couldn‘t hold her liquor at all, yet she dared to pull a stunt. I wanted to punish her badly.
Catherine gave up buttoning her blouse. She lay down and pulled the quilt to cover herself.
“I‘ll just sleep for half an hour... Blake, if you are busy...”
“I‘m not busy.” I sat down beside her, and her eyes widened in shock.
I reached out and tucked her in. “Go to sleep. I‘ll be here.”
“No.You should go. I can‘t sleep with you here!” Catherine said.

I sat on the sofa in the living room and looked at the closed door. It was quiet inside.
What was she thinking? Why did she invite Leo to a meal? Why did she drink with him?
She was getting bolder.
Suddenly, someone contactedthrough Mind–Link again.
It was Leo.
“Blake, is she alright?”
“Next tyou dare to drink alone with her, there will be consequences.”
“Blake, it‘s just a misunderstanding. If I knew she couldn‘t drink, I wouldn‘t have let her near the wine bottle. We were talking about nothing but work,” Leo explained.
“Work? What kind of work?” I sneered.
“The Design Department she is in is having an early winter launch. She wants sof my artists to show up and support her,” Leo said anxiously.
“A phone call is enough. Why did you have to go out and eat?” I thought Leo‘s excuse was untenable.
“Blake, you are high above. You‘re always the one who bosses others around. Of course, you don‘t know what it‘s like at the bottom,” Leo said with sdispleasure.
“Forget it. She‘s still asleep. I‘ll let this one go. The next tshe asks for your help, help her unconditionally. Do you remember?” I lowered my voice, afraid of waking the woman inside up.
“What do you mean by unconditionally? She‘s not my mate. She wants to make money, and so do l!” Leo tried to relute.
“Just help her. State your terms to me.”
