I took a sip of wine and smiled. “Okay. Then let her wear it forever.”

“Let me tell you something you don’t know! I gave your President Norwood that chastity bra!”
The whole room burst into laughter.
I froze and turned to look at Talia beside me. She, however, stayed calm, as if she wasn’t the one being publicly mocked.
My face turned dark. Someone at the table quickly tried to smooth things over, “That's enough, Bennett Bradford, you just love to joke around!"
He saw my angry face and waved his hand. “Oh, my bad mouth! Enough, enough! I’ll drink to apologize to Mr. Hollis!”
“Everyone, come to my new ski resort this winter, it’s free!”
He suddenly hit his head and gave me a mean smile.
“Oh, I almost forgot, Mr. Hollis, your legs aren’t good for skiing, are they?!”
I tightened my fists and was about to stand, but Talia held me and whispered, “Nolan, don’t act rashly! He’s drunk. Our company and the Bradford Family have an important deal now and a fight won’t help.”
