Wine dripped from Mr. Leonard's golden locks.

Droplets of the red liquid traced their routes on his beauteous features.

His eyes were wide, and they were not looking at anything in particular. His full lips had parted a little, to indicate his stunned state.

He slowly started raising his eyes towards his attacker.

Katy was still standing, towering the whole table, she had a victorious smirk crossing her lips.

I panicked, and quickly turned towards Mr. Leonard.

I pulled out my mini-tissue box from my bag, and neared my hand to try and wipe the wine off his face.

"I-I'm sorry! Goodness, Katy is just drunk! I─" His hand held my wrist in mid-movement.

"It's okay, It's okay. I was leaving anyway." he muttered. His tone, for the first time, was not cheerful or sarcastic. He was furious, but managing to keep his calm.

Katy had managed to shake him. Her action was truly something unpredictable.

He stood up, brushed his fingers through his golden red-stained hair, and then walked around the table.

He stopped right behind the still standing Katy. She seemed surprised by his action, for her eyes widened.

Mr. Leonard slowly neared Katy, as his head leaned beside hers, and his lips were right beside her ear, his breath tickling her flesh.

"I thank you very much for the delicious wine, Miss Katherine. You have no idea how delighted I am you concerned yourself about my drink." his lips curved into a mischievous smile; as Katy's hand quickly flashed to cover her ear ─to protect it from him.

His voice was more seductive than I've ever heard it. His tone was obviously meant to allure, and affect Katy to know limits. Damn him.

My best friend's cheeks turned into a shade of red, which is something very rare to see of Katy.

He got her.

He straightened, the playful smile never leaving his full lips, as he prepared to start walking towards the exit.

"It was a pleasure, Mr. Hamlington heir." he mused, and started walking.

"And by the way, I think you'll find some interesting things if you look around, Miss Secretary. See you, Mr. Stevens." he didn't turn around or stop walking.

He simply waved his hand slightly as a goodbye.

I looked at him dumbfounded, what does he mean?

My attention then shifted to Katy. Harvey held her wrist and gently pulled her to sit down.

She was still blushing, obviously very affected by Mr. Leonard's very effective affecting technique.

"Calm down, baby. It's not worth it." Harvey tried to calm her down.

I frowned at him. Curse it. There's something behind him. And yes, I believe what Mr. Leonard said. It's logical somehow.

"Shit, Katy!" Jaden exclaimed, "What the crap do you think you're doing?!"
His voice seemed furious, well, not like I was any calmer.

"Katy, that was utterly uncalled for, okay?! I don't care if you're drunk! That went too far!" My voice came out serious.
