Across the table, Moses’s gaze fell upon Gan Yuan’s palm.
She poised her knife and fork casually and skewered a piece of the side dish vegetable.
Moses frowned slightly.
In his memory, his Gaia always loved to eat fish, and she would always start with the fish when it came to these dishes, rarely touching the vegetables.
Across the table, Gan Yuan carefully selected vegetables from her plate, eating them with an air of "deliciousness".
She had to admit that the taste of the dish was very good, but she really didn’t like eating vegetables from the starter plate. It was only to confuse Moses’s senses that she deliberately acted contrary to her usual behavior.
"Did Miss Gan work in a hotel before?" Moses asked.
"Yes," Gan Yuan swallowed the vegetables in her mouth with effort, "My major was hotel management."
"Lausanne or SEL—both are renowned schools for hotel management?"
"Neither," Gan Yuan said with a self-deprecating smile, "I only attended an ordinary college that’s not well-known."
"Actually, the school doesn’t represent anything, a person’s true ability is not related to the school." Moses raised his cup, "I apologize for any offense earlier, this cup is by way of apology."
Gan Yuan hurriedly put down her cutlery and picked up her wine glass, of course, deliberately using a different gesture from her usual one.
The two lightly clinked their glasses in mid-air, and Moses brought the glass to his lips, drinking it all in one gulp.
Gan Yuan took just a small sip.
The waiter refilled Moses’s glass, and Qian Xueying also raised her glass, "I deeply apologize for yesterday’s incident, this cup is to honor Miss Gan."
Then it was Locke’s turn, with several people finding excuses to toast to Gan Yuan in turn. After a few rounds, even though she tried to drink as little as possible, she still consumed more than half a glass.
Gan Yuan looked at the liquid in her glass, still feeling somewhat uneasy, and rose from her chair.
"Excuse me, I’ll be right back."
She stepped into the corridor, heading towards the restroom. Once inside, she immediately closed the door tightly, reached into her throat, and induced herself to vomit up everything she had just eaten.
Moses would not trust her so easily, she had to be prepared for any eventuality.
Inside the restaurant.
As soon as Gan Yuan had left, Moses lifted his right hand, and the butler immediately came over and bent down towards him. He whispered a few words to the butler in a low voice.
The butler nodded slightly and exited the room. In a short while, he returned with a bottle of wine, circled around the table, and added a bit of wine to Gan Yuan’s glass.
At this time, Qiao Liang was plating the main dish, and upon witnessing this scene, his dark eyes narrowed slightly.
He had been watching silently the whole time, and although he did not understand the intricacies involved, his intuition told him that Moses harbored ill intentions toward Gan Yuan.
Now, he actually took advantage of Gan Yuan’s absence to secretly pour her more wine?
Footsteps sounded lightly, and Gan Yuan returned. Moses smiled and raised his glass.
"I never thought there could be such a similar person in this world. Miss Gan, would you join me for a drink?" he lifted his glass towards her, "It’s been a long time since I’ve had a drink with Gaia."
Gan Yuan smiled, raising her glass, and gently clinked it with his, "I hope you find the person you’re looking for soon!"
Qiao Liang, worried, immediately picked up the condiment tray and walked over, pretending to add seasoning to Gan Yuan’s dish while deliberately bumping her elbow.
With a jolt, the wine splashed out from Gan Yuan’s glass, drenching her clothes.
"I’m sorry..." Qiao Liang hurriedly grabbed some napkins to help her wipe, "I was just trying to add some sauce!"
