Seeing that he was still carrying a gift in his hand, Minerva seemed to have purposely given some space to him. Vera felt sorry to ignore him, so she could only take the initiative to greet him.
Sam didn't come to his senses until she called his name.
He had come that day to deliver a gift.
He only heard the news that Vera was going to open a new restaurant that day, so he took the initiative to follow Young Master Yardley. When he came in, he found that the little girl he missed was much thinner. Although she became prettier than before, he was full of distress when looking at her.
He found that he still preferred her slightly chubby face from before.
She was too skinny now.
"Congratulations on the opening of your new restaurant. I just learned the news today, so the gift was chosen in a hurry. I hope you like it."
He stepped forward and handed over his gift.
Minerva, who was walking up the stairs, also heard him. Her lips twitched a little and she silently complained about his straightforward method when speaking to Vera.
These words sounded very official, as if the two of them were very unfamiliar with each other.
Minerva turned to look at Sam, but Maddox held her waist and said coldly, "Focus. Don't fall down."
She regained her senses after hearing him. She glanced at him and grumbled softly.
"I wanted to talk to my brother about Vera. You told me not to meddle in other people's affairs, saying that we don't have enough time to spend together alone, yet what's going on now? You wouldn't let me interfere, but you helped Sam. Double standards?"
After reaching the last step of the staircase, since both of them were now on the second floor, Maddox loosened his grip on her waist a little. It did not seem as if he had much to worry about.
However, at this moment, he looked at her quietly and said in a low voice, "Who said that Sam was brought along by me?"
"You didn't bring him with you?"
"If he was to ask you for this, would you turn him down?"
Minerva couldn't say a word.
Downstairs, the atmosphere was very awkward.
Vera listened to Sam's formal words and could only accept the gift from him. She also smiled formally and she said, "Thank you, I will definitely like it. That's very kind of you."
The conversation between the both of them did not make David and Mabie suspicious. Furthermore, David knew Sam and knew that he was Young Master Yardley's right- hand man. Almost wherever he went, Sam would be there too.
Thus, when Young Master Yardley came to his daughter's restaurant that day, it was reasonable for Sam, as his assistant, to follow him. Since he was here, it was also reasonable for him to prepare some gifts. Therefore, David didn't think so much.
After the gift was delivered, David hurriedly asked Sam to sit down.
In front of Vera's parents, Sam was very uncomfortable. He couldn't be himself when sitting in front of them.
"Assistant Sorrento, President Yardley won't be angry that Bruno is helping out here, will he?"
As soon as Sam sat down, David lowered his voice and asked, on the qui vive.
There was no other way. He really couldn't comprehend President Yardley's temper. He didn't dare to ask even if he couldn't figure it out, but he treated Assistant Sorrento differently. He was much easier to talk to.
Sure enough, after listening to his inquiry, Sam seriously explained to him.
"Mr. Zais, you don't have to worry. Beanie and Vera have been with each other for many years. They have a good relationship. Young Master Yardley won't be angry."
He wouldn't dare to be angry as Minerva was there.
Not only did Maddox not get enraged, but he was also stopped by her when he had just asked a simple question. Then, he had even given an explanation unprecedentedly.
This was the first time Sam saw him like this.
After hearing that, David nodded with relief, and then said with a smile, "That's good. I'm afraid of offending President Yardley."
