It was a rare occasion to see these tycoons from different countries and industries make dumplings together.
When Tracey came to check the process, Adam called her at once, "Tracey, I made these." The smile on Adam's face was like he had got a project worthy of billions.
Those sparkling eyes were pleading for praise. Looking at those dumplings of equal size, Tracey said, "Adam, is it your first time to make dumplings? Good job!"
"I made it for you." Adam did not show Tracey those semi-finished dumplings in the trash can.
"Thank you, Adam." Tracey gave a kiss on Adam's face as a reward for his hard work.
Seeing what Adam got, Caesar called Rose immediately, "Rose, come to look. It is yours."
Caesar had more dumplings than Adam did. Shooting a glance at those ones, Rose commented, "Ugly."
Caesar was speechless.
'How come both women respond differently?' Caesar felt sullen. In fact, Rose felt flattered but didn't show her pleasure.
"Well, I'll get them to cook." Tracey changed the topic.
"Mine are for Rose, and please cook them separately." Caesar insisted.
Tracey was wordless.
It was said that women were fussy, so were men.
They ate, chatted, and ridiculed during lunch, and it was lively and noisy. The men were engaged in Mahjong after lunch.
Men could take Mahjong as a social engagement, and it was the first time for Tracey to see Adam play Mahjong.
Tracey concluded from her observation that all of them were shrewd.
The game went on reasonably and orderly, while the brain of every participant worked like a precise instrument.
They would memorize and calculate the mahjong tiles, so they adjusted their strategies from time to time, according to the tiles on the table.
Exchanging a glance with Rose, Tracey felt bored, "Are you serious? It is only a game, and we are friends! Do you have to do this?"
These men were rich, so they didn't care about money.
Adam smiled, "Tracey, what matters most is the victory. None of these men feel like being defeated."
Tracey knew immediately that the male chauvinism stirred here.
"Tracey, let's go watch movies. It should be much more fun than here!" Rose suggested.
"That's exactly what I'm thinking." Tracey left with Rose hand in hand, like besties. Tracey had no confidence in the word bestie' after what Rachel did to her.
There was a three-year friendship between Tracey and Isla, but Tracey just categorized Isla as a friend and colleague. Their conversation was all about work.
Rose seemed different from the very beginning. As a cousin of Adam, she was candid. What was more, she would bring up topics like new skincare products and the color of lipsticks.
"Tracey, how do you like this new color? It isn't available in China yet. I will get you some from abroad if you like."
"Thanks, Rose. I have no time for shopping recently."
