She did not quite understand the rules of these upper-class people.
She just saw the man drink three glasses. If she didn't respect him, she might make things difficult for Quill, so she also drank as the other party did.
"No, you're doing great." Quill glanced at her indifferently. "However, don't drink too much."
She was speechless.
"Hey, President Hanover, are you worried about Miss Zais?"
"How rare. President Hanover never brought women to attend banquets before. Now, he will get worried about women. He doesn't even let her take a sip of wine."
Everyone teased Quill. The people present were all worldly-wise men. How could they not see that he was different from before? If it was in the past, they would not dare to make fun of him like this. They were afraid that he would stare at them coldly and leave them alone before they could finish their words.
However, that night, probably because there was a female companion with him, Quill would not get angry no matter how everyone made fun of him.
There was even a faint smile in his dark eyes.
"Mr. Hanover is not willing to let Miss Zais drink it. Why not... you drink it for her?"
What? Quill was drinking for her? How could this be possible?
Vera was about to say something, but Quill just smiled faintly and then really drank up her wine in front of everyone. Originally, she wanted to say something, but seeing this scene, she couldn't say anything.
She stood in place and looked at his profile, unable to say a word.
She was shocked in her heart.
Obviously, everyone was deliberately making fun of him to let him drink the glass of wine. He could have refused it with his status. Even with just a look, everyone's disturbance would not continue.
But he...
Her heart stirred, and the light in her eyes trembled slightly.
Although she didn't know what was going on and why he suddenly became like this, she... she didn't want to ask why, as long as he was willing to accept her.
Next, after everyone was sure that Quill would really drink the wine for her, they began to toast him crazily. However, he did not refuse and drank a lot.
It was not until later that Vera finally realized that he had drunk too much. She wanted to go forward to stop him, but she was a little scared.
However, he seemed drunk already. She had no choice but to brace herself to go forward.
"Don't drink anymore. It hurts your stomach if you drink too much."
"Oh..."
When the people around heard this sentence, they all followed and teased her.
"You are worried..."
"Then let's not get Mr. Hanover drunk."
"How can that be? It's a rare day. How often do you guys get the chance?"
Vera said, "Don't drink anymore!" Her tone became a little harsh, and her little face was full of worry as she looked at Quill. He tilted her head to look at her and nodded after thinking for a moment, he spoke.
"Alright."
"I won't drink."
When Vera heard the last sentence, she breathed a sigh of relief and finally relaxed.
However, the others looked disappointed. Some of them still wanted to go forward and propose another toast, but Quill's gaze stopped them. It was only half way through the banquet.
Despite this, because Quill had drunk too much, Vera asked to leave in advance.
