Dorothy returned to the table and found Gabriel ingratiatingly filling his boss’ glass with wine. After seeing her, he immediately moved aside to give her a seat next to the boss.

She was no stranger to such workplace flirting and decided to ignore it, taking her original seat instead.

Gabriel glanced at his boss. He was glad to see he wasn't upset, then he turned to Dorothy. “Ms. Sanchez, our boss, Hayden, has been singing your praises. He's impressed by your charisma and is certain of your professional capabilities. It's quite an achievement for someone your age to be a project director.” “Hayden is too generous. I'm honored.” Dorothy laughed and raised her glass. “A toast to you, Hayden.” Hayden was only too happy to accept, and she nodded enthusiastically. “Cheers!” Emmett, watching the scene, was sure that Dorothy would not be sober by the end of the night. He quietly texted Natalia, asking her to arrange a car to wait outside the restaurant, ready to take Dorothy back to the hotel.

“We had a brief discussion about the collaboration details with Ms. Sanchez earlier today, and we've seen East Star Enterprises" sincerity.” Gabriel steered the conversation back to work.

Dorothy understood his subtle dissatisfaction with the terms offered by East Star Enterprises, but she had to pretend otherwise as the negotiation was still ongoing. “Indeed, you've seen it. My original business trip was in Everglow City, but our boss specifically sent me to Havenbrook City. He wanted to avoid any miscommunication that could potentially upset everyone.” Hayden nodded emphatically and refilled Dorothy’s empty wine glass.

After seeing this, Gabriel laughed. “Ms. Sanchez, you should try this wine. Hayden brought it especially for you. He wouldn't share this with just anyone.” “Oh? Well, | must give it a try then.” Truthfully, Dorothy couldn't tell the difference between good and bad wine. She simply closed her eyes and took a sip.

“You two shouldn't just sit there, have some too. Lets all enjoy it together.” Gabriel suddenly included Emmett and Natalia in the conversation.

If the two assistants declined, things would become quite awkward.

Dorothy was about to intervene, but Hayden beat her to it. “I can see that Ms. Sanchez values you both highly. The fact that she brought you to this occasion suggests that you're both competent employees. Who knows? In the future, you might become successful and prominent figures in the future. Let's drink to our friendship. | love drinking good wine, and | enjoy the company of those who do as well.” Natalia’s tolerance for alcohol was even weaker than Dorothy's. She was about to decline, but Emmett stopped her with a tug of her sleeve. He knew that if Natalia ruined the atmosphere, all the drinks Dorothy had would be in vain.

“Thank you, Hayden, but I'm afraid they might spoil your wine.” Dorothy frowned. She was still trying to protect them.

But Hayden was not going to let them off the hook. “Nonsense! Just drink!” The glasses were already in front of them, and they were already filled with wine, so there was no room for them to refuse.

Emmett closed his eyes, picked up his glass, and downed it in one gulp.
