Mindy had said, “If you're not sure what to eat, go for the most expensive. Price may not mean everything, but it

does show a level of sincerity.”

As expected, when Zach heard the nof the restaurant, he raised an eyebrow. But after a moment of

thought, it didn’t surprise him. Since they were hosting a dinner to show their appreciation, the choice of the

restaurant had to be fitting.

On Friday evening, Zach arrived ten minutes early, only to find that Miranda and her family were already waiting

in the private room. Originally, Miranda had invited Winter as well, but Winter was swamped with work and had

been putting in overtfor the past two days, leaving her with no free time.

Miranda had asked, “Are you sure you can’t make it? Zach will be there too.”

Winter had rolled her eyes and huffed, “So what if he’s there? Does that mean | have to go just because of

him?”

“Aren't you two a couple? After dinner, he could even play the role of a gallant escort and drive you home.”

“Please, who needs him to do that? I've got my own car! Besides, we're a fake couple, remember? Stop teasing

Back inside the private room, Zach greeted them with a smile, “You're too kind, Mr. and Mrs. Sutton. It was just a

small favor; there's really no need to go to all this trouble to treatto dinner.”

“Of course, it's necessary,” Lionel said with a laugh while shaking Zach’s hand. “Thanks to you introducing Mr.

Stone to Mindy, we have the success of ‘Seven Days.”

Mindy stood by with a warm smile, nodding in agreement.

To Zach's surprise, the couple appeared even younger than he had imagined. Lionel was tall and carried himself

with a natural grace. His attire and manner of speaking exuded an elegance unique to a scholar.

Mindy was stunning in her ivory-colored dress. Her hair was held up with a delicate hairpin, standing by Lionel’s

side with a poised and graceful demeanor. She looked so youthful that people could easily believe she was in her

30s or 40s.

Once everyone was seated, the dishes were quickly served. Lionel had brought a bottle of fine wine with him.

After pouring it, he raised his first glass to Zach.

“As the saying goes, ‘A drop of kindness should be repaid with a fountain of gratitude.’ I'll drink this one down in

your honor. Thank you, Mr. Graham, for all you've done.”

“Oh, please...” Zach hurriedly raised his own glass, adopting a modest tone. “I'm the younger one here. You

don’t need to addressso formally-just callZach.”

“Alright, Zach,” Lionel said with a smile. “Then | won't argue with you. Since you and Mimi are of the sage,

you wouldn't mind givinga toast, would you?”

“You're too polite, Mr. Sutton. It should betoasting you...” Being well-versed in business and social graces,

Zach handled himself with grace and respect.

Lionel raised his glass once more and said thoughtfully, “There's a saying that goes, ‘It's not just about the

person who opens doors for you; it's also about those who connect you to the right opportunities.”

“People often credit Warren as the guiding force behind Mindy’s success, but | believe that those who helped

bring them together deserve just as much recognition. So, for this second toast, | raise my glass to you as

well...”

The dinner went smoothly, with both the food and the company thoroughly enjoyable.

Zach rarely experienced such a relaxed dinner setting. After the initial toasts, Lionel didn’t push for more

drinking.

He simply said, “Let's drink in moderation. While they say a thousand cups aren't enough when drinking with a

friend, health comes first; a taste is just as enjoyable.”
