Benson's special concern for Alvina Miller caused the atmosphere in the room to become a little strange. Everyone exchanged glances, and clearly knew that many stories would happen between young and single men and women. Within this group of people, there were many who had experienced it before, and there were also people who looked at it with interest.
Alvina Miller's expression froze for a moment, in the end, he still looked at Joseph Grant at his side. The man looked calm, but the aura he gave off, was much colder than before.
He reached for the glass of red wine on the table and took a sip. Then, he threw the cup back onto the table.
Barry Smith watched the show in interest from the side. Although Joseph Grant was angry, it did not mean that he truly liked Alvina Miller, and it could also be because he felt extremely displeased when he saw that Alvina Miller was closer to other men.
After all, he was a man, and such an outstanding and proud man. Even if he did not love Alvina Miller, he had already encircled him with this woman. He would rather not have her, than to let another man touch his woman.
When Alvina Miller heard the sound of the man dropping the cup, his heart skipped a beat. It's over, this time he really angered the man, the damned Benson, what is he playing at?
She was clearly just a nodding friend to him, yet he suddenly showed such concern for her. Could it be … He really was someone from the Old President s' side, and had deliberately used this opportunity to probe her relationship with Joseph Grant?
When Alvina Miller thought about this, his beautiful face instantly flushed with anger, and she angrily glared at Benson.
However, Benson did not feel ashamed at all. He picked up Alvina Miller's cup of wine and clinked it with a colleague by his side and drank.
When everyone felt the oppressive atmosphere in the room, their relaxed state of mind instantly tensed up. They finally knew the reason why, but it turned out to be because Mr. Vice—President's expression wasn't too good.
"Zoey, I need to go to the bathroom!" Alvina Miller wanted to escape as fast as he could, so as to not make Joseph Grant even more angry. Zoey immediately asked her softly: "Do you need me to accompany you?"
"No need, I'll go by myself!" After Alvina Miller quickly finished this sentence, he quickly walked out of the room.
Joseph Grant's eyes were still filled with laughter, but that laughter had turned cold.
Barry Smith hurriedly livened up the atmosphere. He turned around and asked Lieutenant Hilton for a cigarette, but he didn't light it up in the private box. Instead, he took the cigarette and headed towards Walk Outside.
When Benson and Barry Smith saw Joseph Grant's actions, they were both surprised. This was because Joseph Grant had always gave people the impression of him being warm and elegant, as if he had never smoked on the table before.
But earlier, he took a cigarette and walked out of the room. It seemed that he was really depressed.
The reason why Joseph Grant took out the cigarette was merely to find a reason. As expected, the moment he came out, he saw Alvina Miller's figure flash past a corridor, and he immediately snapped the cigarette in his hand as he quickly walked in the direction that had disappeared in.
Alvina Miller walked to an empty corner at the side and turned around. He immediately saw Joseph Grant and a happy smile appeared in her beautiful eyes. She had a feeling that this man would definitely come out to find her.
Joseph Grant quickly stepped in front of her with his long legs. With a stretch of his long arm, the door of a private room beside him opened, and he immediately grabbed her wrist and walked in.
Alvina Miller never thought that a man would have such strength. She was practically thrown inside by him, and in the next second, his back was tightly pressed against the ice wall.
"Ouch!" Alvina Miller was caught off guard, and the back of his head felt a little pain, hence he immediately shouted out. But in the next second, the sound of the man forcefully closing the door was in his ears, scaring her so much that she immediately shut his mouth, his beautiful big eyes flashing uneasily as he looked at the man.
Joseph Grant's breathing clearly became heavier, and his eyes that were deep as the ocean stared straight at her expression: "What's your relationship with that man?"
