It turned out that several companies were planning to launch a project and wanted to invite Tobias to collaborate.
Although Natalie didn't know much about business, she could see that Tobias seemed somewhat disinterested, even though these presidents looked eager to lure in Tobias to join them.
Natalie thought, "Why did Tobias still come to this dinner anyway even though he doesn't seem interested in their plans?"
However, after thinking further, the business field has always been very complicated. For someone in a high position like Tobias, he still had to give them face to attend this kind of dinner meeting.
The presidents also sensed Tobias's lack of interest. They looked at each other, then one of them suddenly stood up and said, "I need to go to the toilet for now. You guys can continue."
Tobias' dark eyes, which had a tinge of light in them, jerked slightly.
After that, they started to mingle around again around the dining table.
Compared to the other presidents, Tobias' face had always been indifferent. He always had this blank look on his face.
Natalie couldn't do much here, so she simply began to dig into the food. Putting aside other things, the dishes served in the five- star hotel were out of this world. It was scrumptious. Natalie enjoyed the food very much.
Tobias glanced at Natalie subconsciously a few times, and then a faint smile appeared on his lips.
Only Natalie, a naive little creature, could fully immerse herself in food on such an occasion.
Soon, a waiter brought a few more bottles of wine.
Several presidents excitedly urged Tobias to drink.
Natalie didn't know if it was just her illusion, but when the presidents urged Tobias to drink with them, she just so happened to meet Tobias' gaze as she was swallowing a bun.
A sharp glint flashed in Tobias' eyes when she locked eyes with him.
However, the sharpness was like a dragonfly, skimming the water as it soon disappeared.
The other presidents handed Tobias a glass of wine. "Mr. Whitlock, you must gulp down this glass of wine. Otherwise, it would mean that you're not giving us face."
Tobias smiled faintly, accepted the glass, and drank the contents until not a drop was left.
One of the presidents also handed Natalie a glass of wine while saying, "Girl, you should also have a drink."
Natalie was stunned. Earlier on, she had been eating non-stop, and nobody was bothered with her. Why did someone suddenly ask her to drink at the moment? While she didn't know whether she should accept the drink or not, Tobias quietly took the glass of wine, which was raised in front of Natalie, and said, "She is still a student. She can't drink. Let me drink in her place."
The president smiled and replied, "Mr. Whitlock, I don't think that should be the case. What's wrong with a student drinking some alcohol? She should learn how to drink too."
Tobias' tone was faint but sharp when he rebuked the president, "My woman doesn't need to learn how to drink."
His words made the president clam up. He could only let Tobias drink on behalf of Natalie.
As Tobias drank more and more wine, there was an indescribable urgency in those presidents' eyes.
No matter how carefree Natalie was, she could still realize that something had gone wrong.
At this time, Tobias, who was sitting next to her, suddenly pulled her into his embrace. Natalie was stunned. Tobias' lips brushed past Natalie's earlobe as he whispered, "Remember your identity. You are my wife. You should fulfill your role as my wife."
His voice was very soft. Except for Natalie, no one could hear him.
At that moment, the president, who had just claimed that he needed to go to the toilet, pushed the door open and reentered the suite. He didn't come alone this time. He was accompanied by a few girls.
The girls were all very young. All of them were wearing school uniforms of the same color. The school uniforms they were wearing were not the regular type. The top of the uniform was very revealing, and their skirts were very short too, which would cause someone to blush and shy away at the sight of it.
It turned out that those presidents were not confident with the business plan at all in the first place. They were not sure that Tobias would collaborate with them, so they were gauging Tobias' intention for the whole dinner.
However, it was unexpected that Tobias would bring along a girl who looked like a student. A few ideas suddenly sprung to their mind.
