Beau Caine was beaming at Stella Lockwood, but when he heard the voice, he immediately turned his head. He froze for a moment when he saw Sean Quinn. 'What is he doing here?'
"Mr. Quinn, you're here too..."
Beau Caine inwardly cursed his subordinates for their incompetence, but he quickly recovered. Moreover, he found a very plausible reason to continue pressing her to drink. "Miss Lockwood, in that case, you really must toast Mr. Quinn. For such a huge project, Mr. Quinn didn't hesitate for a second—he just decided to invest. It's only right and proper for you to offer him a toast..."
This had well and truly put Stella Lockwood in a bind.
Now, if Stella Lockwood didn't drink, it would be a clear sign of disrespect toward Sean Quinn.
