At nine in the evening, Florence rang the doorbell of the Yee residence.
"Who is it?" A grumpy male voice came from inside, and the door swung open to reveal a man on the doorstep.
"Is Henry here?" Ignoring Rays sour expression, Florence, as always, spread her smile.
She had always believed that the sharpest weapon against this cruel world was not sarcasm or force, but... a smile...
Florences mother was considered the second wife of the Lee family patriarch, and due to her favor, she was often bullied in secret by the eldest aunt.
As for Florence, she had no real connection to the large and prestigious Lee family; she was just an outsider brought in by her mother.
At the Lee residence, she was more like a servant, but she asked for nothing, only wishing not to cause any trouble for her mother.
Thus, even at such a late hour, when the Lee family clearly had drivers, the eldest aunt still sent her out to find Henry, and she didnt argue.
Florences clean smile made Ray pause for a moment, as if infected by it, his expression unconsciously softened.
"Here to see him?"
"Yes. Is he here?"
"Yep, hes here..." Wait a minute!
Rays thoughts flashed, and he suddenly seemed to remember something, a glint in his eyes, his face brightening instantly, "Florence, you come on in."
"Okay." Although puzzled by Rays quick change in attitude, Florence didnt think much of it and stepped into Rays home after changing into slippers.
Looking around the hall, she didnt spot Henry.
On the coffee table, there were only two empty wine glasses, was still playing an intense movie.
"Henry is upstairs; hes drunk and resting."
Pausing for a moment, Ray added, "You know how terrible his morning grumpiness can be; I wouldnt dare provoke him. Since its you looking for him, you should go wake him up yourself."
Florence, feeling helpless, could only nod in agreement.
Ray led her upstairs and pointed to a certain room.
Florence pushed open the bedroom door, and inside, it was pitch black.
Was Henry asleep?
Florence walked into the room suspiciously and was suddenly picked up by someone, thrown onto the bed.
Before she could scream, the door behind her was also shut by Ray!
Ray patted his chest.
Thank goodness, Florence had arrived just in time.
He had a sister who had a crush on Henry for a long time. On one hand, he really couldnt resist her persistence, and on the other hand, he also hoped that Henry could become his brother-in-law.
So...
When his sister made a certain request, he, without much hesitation, agreed after only two seconds of consideration, and that night he put something in Henrys drink, intending to give Henry an early birthday gift.
However, after everything was set, when he called his sister, the damned girl said she was abroad and wouldnt be back until tomorrow!
Wait for her to come back to resolve it? Henry would be driven mad by then!
What should he do?
Find a random girl for Henry? Henry would kick him to death when he woke up.
Should he take care of it himself? Oh! He would rather die than let someone... well, thats not an option!
By chance, just when he was at a loss, Florence Davis came along.
It really wasnt his fault for being so ruthless.
He didnt want his buddy to die of unmet desires.
Moreover, although Florence was always reserved and restrained, her affection for Henry that went beyond familial love was also something he could discern.
So, orchestrating this little scenario was also a way of fulfilling the wishes of this well-behaved girl.
