Chapter 74 Having Matchmaking

1/5

Ethan froze for a few seconds and then suddenly slapped his thigh, showing panic. "My goodness, you've really got some wild ideas!"

He pulled up a chair and sat down next to Meryl.

"Are you kidding me? Or are you hallucinating from drinking. too much? Chandler? That's my uncle! Do you know what kind of man my uncle is? I've never seen a woman by his side my whole life! And you want him to be your fake boyfriend?" Ethan gave Meryl a thumbs-up. "But hey, if you really manage to win over my uncle, I'll perform a feat of breaking a stone with my chest."

Meryl just smiled without a word.

She felt Ethan was definitely set on his dramatic gesture.

The wine was sweet at first but had a strong aftereffect.

Meryl leaned hazily on the couch to sober up while Ethan went to answer the door.

The three people outside had already left, and Ethan came back.

"I mean, think about what I said. I'm quite popular with the ladies. Being my fake girlfriend wouldn't be a loss for you." Chapter 74 Having Matchmaking

Ethan looked up, noticing that Meryl, with her eyes closed, didn't respond. He stared at her for a couple of seconds. Meryl's face was flushed red, and she lay motionless on the arm. of the sofa, clearly having drunk too much.

Her forehead hairs were messily hanging down, with one strand landing on her long eyelashes.

A breeze came through the door. She tried to grab the strands with her hand but missed, frustratingly propping her head up.

Just as Ethan wondered what she was about to do, Meryl held her cheeks with both hands, shaking her head.

She only stopped after managing to shake off that strand of hair.

Ethan was stunned.

He hadn't expected this side of Meryl.

Just as he was about to speak, Meryl laid down again.

Ethan couldn't help but smile.

He knew she must have really drunk too much.

Yet, he thought Meryl, in every way, was cuter than Lydia, even when drunk.

He wondered if Dalton was blind.

A tender warmth crept within Ethan without his notice.

His arms casually crossed over his chest, a seemingly careless pose carrying a hint of nonchalance.

"Where do you live? Shall I take you home?"

Meryl, on the couch, was silent, clearly very drunk.

Ethan looked at his own hands, valued at over a hundred million

dollars.

He was about to help her up when a man in a suit suddenly walked into the room, standing between him and Meryl. Ethan froze for a moment.

Surprised, he looked at Chandler. "Chandler, how come you're here?"

Chandler reached out his hand and bent down to scoop Meryl into his arms.

He looked road-weary directly here from the airport without having gone home first.

Chandler's gaze fell on Meryl's reddened cheeks, briefly and meaningfully looking over Ethan.

"Here to take my employee home."

Ethan's eyes widened in surprise, and his brows twisted in disbelief. "Your woman? Chandler, you... You guys..."

He wondered if Chandler had also drunk too much, seeing illusions.

He thought, "What am I seeing?

Chandler is actually carrying Meryl?

And he says Meryl is his employee or woman?"

Ethan was bewildered. He then calmed down, his eyes wide with astonishment. "Are you guys together?" Chandler was about to say yes.

But as the word reached his lips, he remembered that if their relationship were known, it might ruin Meryl's prospects.

So the yes turned into Chandler saying, "She works in my executive office. If she's not my employee, what is she?" Hearing this, Ethan breathed a sigh of relief.

That almost scared him to death.

He thought, "I definitely won't be breaking any rocks with my chest."

Chandler held a trace of cool detachment. "I heard you guys were having matchmaking here tonight?"
