"Director Zhao," Ryan Xiao cut off, staring at him coldly. It was as if the temperature in the room had dropped by a few degrees.
After a second, a smile entered his lips. "Madam Vice President is actually a classmate of mine."
Director Zhao's eyes widened in surprise.
Actually, everyone in the room was shock. They didn't expect that the two knew each other. The senior executives shared a look. They all wanted to find out more about their connection.
Anne's smile became more at ease. It seemed that Ryan Xiao still remembered her after all these years.
After hearing his boss's warning, Director Zhao smiled awkwardly. The wine had just been served to them. He quickly took a bottle and poured in two glasses of wine. He handed a glass to Anne. "Madam Vice President, I'm sorry if I spoke too rashly earlier. I hope you can accept my apology."
The smile on her face stiffened.
Since she was preparing for pregnancy, she couldn't drink. In fact, she didn't even use cosmetics. All her skin care products, clothes, bags, and drinks were strictly controlled by the Fu Family.
Knowing that she couldn't drink, her assistant quickly took the wine from Director Zhao. "Director Zhao, our vice president is allergic to alcohol. Let me drink with you instead."
Her assistant downed the glass before showing it to the director. There was not a single drop of wine left.
Director Zhao nodded, impressed. "You're good at drinking," he praised. Without any further complaints, he downed his own glass.
Wearing a small smile on his face, Ryan Xiao poured a glass of juice before handing it to Anne. He had red wine in his own glass.
"Would you like to drink with me for the sake of being classmates once?"
She gazed at his smile and found herself smiling right back. He had changed. Before she could take the juice from his hand, the door of their private room was pushed open.
Everyone gazed at the man who suddenly entered the room.
Kevin wore a black shirt and a pair of trousers. There was something in his eyes that made everyone look away almost immediately.
He walked to the round table with a smile playing on his lips as his sharp gaze fell on the juice Ryan Xiao was holding. "Mr. Xiao, I'm afraid that you don't know that my wife is actually preparing for pregnancy, do you?"
Hearing his words, Anne grew pale. She glared at Kevin.
Was he trying to embarrass her in public?
Kevin walked forward at ease, but his eyes was sharp. He was like a predator eyeing his competitor.
"The juice here is sour. My wife can't drink it."
Although Kevin tried his best to embarrass him, Ryan Xiao wasn't fazed. Instead, Ryan raised his glass with a smile. "I didn't know you were preparing for pregnancy. I'll drink this wine as my apology to you."
