Following Hugh to the dining table with a smile, Sophia was relieved to find that she wasn't the last one to arrive. She breathed a sigh of relief.
Hugh got Sophia acquainted with several managers, introducing them to each other.
Among them was the president of the Ji Group.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Ji!"
"It's a pleasure to meet you too, Miss Lo." After exchanging greetings, Sophia sat next to Hugh.
Ten minutes later, the door opened again. People stood up to greet the newcomers.
"Mr. Li, hello!"
"Mr. Li, over here!"
"Mr. Li and Mrs. Li have arrived!"
The title 'Mrs. Li' imprinted on Sophia. It seemed Colin and Dorothy had gotten married in secret after all.
Having worked with one another before, everyone was quite familiar with each other.
Colin sat down on the seat reserved for the main guest, while Dorothy sat next to him with a smile.
Nearby sat Hugh and Sophia.
Sophia had no idea what the dinner was for, so she sat quietly during the whole affair. Since no one spoke to her, she kept silent.
After they had some cold dishes, eight waiters dressed in black uniforms began to serve some hot dishes.
The large table was filled with luxurious dishes that were tantalizing to Sophia's eyes.
It smelled so good... A dish of steamed Chinese sturgeon was directly sent to Colin by a waiter.
The general manager, deputy general manager, and restaurant manager of the No. 8 Cruise came over in person to make a toast to Colin. When they left, the eight waiters stood at the preparation table to serve them.
While Sophia was enjoying her dinner, Mr. Xu of the FW Group came by with a glass of wine. "Miss Lo."
Putting down the chopsticks and wiping her mouth promptly, Sophia took the glass in front of her. "Mr. Xu."
"Miss. Lo, long time no see. You've reached the top position among fashion designers in A Country. Congratulations!" Mr. Xu's praise made the room fall int
Jean Wen sacrificed herself for family interests. Before her husband divorced her, she made every effort to please him.
"You are inexperienced in bed," he said coldly.
"You! Give that land to my family, or I won't agree to divorce," Jean replied furiously.
"Fine. It is exactly what I am thinking about," he sneered.
." The man's voice paused abruptly.
Some people didn't know the story and looked at him questioningly. He laughed awkwardly. "I think I've drank too much. I'll go to the restroom first."
When the attention shifted to Sophia, Dorothy immediately felt tense. She chuckled nervously. "It seems Miss Lo has already drank a lot. Can you drink more, Miss Lo? If you can't, you can make a toast next time!"
Sophia hesitated before emotionally picking up the glass in front of her and walking towards Colin.
She looked at Dorothy calmly. "Thank you for your concern, Miss Lien. I'm fine."
No one knew how hard it was for Sophia to hide her feelings and behave so calmly.
Ignoring Dorothy's angry look, Sophia added some wine to Colin's nearly full glass. "A little wine, a lot happiness. It's my honor to meet you tonight, Mr. Li. I'd like to make a toast to you! I am glad to make your acquaintance."
Glad to make your acquaintance? Was there an implication behind her words?
Picking up the glass in front of him, Colin swirled the contents and remained seated. "Drink 10 glasses, and I'll be your acquaintance."
Sophia was speechless. She felt her stomach rumbling uncomfortably. Ten glasses...
One glass was about 3 ounces, so 10 glasses would be about 2 pounds...
