Chapter 1520: How Come I Never Knew About This

Ridiculous!

As soon as Benjamin Shaw finished speaking, Alice Turner mentally rolled her eyes at him, wondering if he thought she was blind or brainless. His intentions were so obvious; did he think she couldn’t see through them?

After glancing at him, she pulled her laptop back and stopped urging him to discuss their collaboration. Instead, she began looking at her computer.

Since he said he wanted to eat before talking, she decided to wait until he was full. She could afford to wait a bit.

"Ex-husband bro! You..."

"Can you call me something else?"

Ex-husband bro! Ex-husband bro!

Every time Anthony called him "ex-husband bro," Benjamin Shaw felt a deep sense of frustration and irritation.

Huh?

This man disliked being called ex-husband bro?

Anthony looked at Benjamin Shaw and noticed his expression turned unpleasant. Confirming his judgment, he quickly changed his tone: "Okay, okay, from now on I’ll call you Mr. Shaw, how about that?"

He looked at Benjamin with a serious expression, as if this change of address was a very serious matter.

"As you wish." Benjamin Shaw calmly uttered the words and then turned his gaze to Alice Turner, who was sitting a bit away from him. "Alice! Do you want something to drink? Alcohol? Or a beverage?"

He clearly didn’t know her well; he didn’t even know she was allergic to alcohol.

"Alice is allergic to alcohol, didn’t you know?"

Alice barely had the chance to speak before Anthony answered for her.

Due to her low alcohol tolerance, Alice hadn’t touched a drop in years. But as a manager, she couldn’t avoid socializing, so she lied about being allergic to alcohol to better refuse others.

Allergic to alcohol?

Benjamin Shaw slightly furrowed his brow. Five years ago, hadn’t she drank alcohol without any allergic reaction?

What’s going on here?

He looked at her, but she wouldn’t even glance back at him, let alone explain things.

He furrowed his brow more tightly. Did she dislike him so much that she didn’t even want to look at him?

Even though her eyes were fixed on the computer in front of her, Alice Turner could feel Benjamin Shaw’s gaze on her. If she weren’t so resilient, she would have squirmed under the table by now.

Benjamin Shaw felt extremely uncomfortable with Alice Turner’s cold attitude, raising his voice to ask: "Are you actually allergic to alcohol? Why don’t I know anything about it?"

He continued to stare at her, waiting for an explanation.

This man clearly knew she wasn’t allergic to alcohol and that it was a lie, yet he asked her anyway. Was he purposely trying to embarrass her?

Alice Turner moved her gaze from the computer to Benjamin Shaw, meeting his eyes. There was no awkwardness, embarrassment, or fear—just coldness. "What do you think?"

After coolly speaking, she returned her focus to the computer, ignoring the man who frustrated her.

Benjamin Shaw had wanted to attract the woman’s attention, but he hadn’t expected her attitude to be even colder.

Benjamin Shaw’s mood suddenly turned sour, feeling frustrated. He didn’t continue the topic or keep staring at Alice Turner.

"The two ladies will have drinks, while us two gentlemen will have some alcohol." Without consulting the other two, he made the decision unilaterally.

He and Anthony drank, while Grace Young and Alice Turner had drinks.
