Silence hung heavily in the private box.
Everyone stared at Marie and Serena in disbelief.
They could hear how reverently the personnel manager was talking to Marie. After all, the general manager was someone who was able to decide his destiny in the future.
The two girls were still in puzzlement after Marie hung up the phone.
Their internship wasn’t over yet, but how come they were promoted to general manager and general manager assistant?
At this moment, Leo raised his glass at them.
"Marie, Serena, congratulations!"
Marie and Serena turned to Leo at once, their eyes fixed on him.
It must be him!
Even if Leo didn’t do it, he was involved.
Meanwhile, Edwin saw both Marie and Serena’s reactions, astonished.
Leo, however, was sipping wine, looking calm.
Edwin realized immediately that Marie’s boyfriend wasn’t some ordinary man!
"I’ll drink a toast to you, Mr. Cohen." Edwin rose to his feet instantly and proposed a toast to Leo.
Leo picked up his glass and clinked it against Edwin’s. "Nice to meet you."
At this moment, Winnie chimed in contemptuously, "Why do you propose a toast to him, Edwin? You’re wasting your time."
Edwin didn’t say anything, but sat down and threw a meaningful glance at Winnie to stop her from picking on Leo, but she didn’t get it.
Winnie stared at Marie and Serena with mixed feelings. She still couldn’t believe that Marie had become the general manager of the J Group after a call.
That was to say, Marie would be the one to take care of her husband’s business in the future.
What a drastic change!
Winnie had talked so much a wile ago, but it was nothing against Marie’s promotion news. However, she still forced herself to put on a smile and said to Marie, "Come on, Marie. Let me drink a toast to you. Congratulations on your promotion!"
At first, Winnie thought Marie would definitely raise her glass, but in fact, she showed no intention of doing so at all, but looked up and down at her faintly.
Holding the glass up in the air, Winnie couldn’t feel more embarrassed, a touch of anger on her face.
"Marie, we haven’t met in a long time. Now I’m drinking a toast to you, but aren’t you being unreasonable not to accept it?"
Marie stared calmly at her. "You said it yourself that you’re drinking a toast to me, and it’s your own business, but whether to accept it is my business. Is there any problem?"
Everyone was stupefied upon hearing that.
Dakota, Billie and the others had surprise written all over their faces because they never expected Marie to be so blunt.
Her cheeks twitching, Winnie wished she could eat Marie alive.
"Fine! Then I’ll apologize for what I said to you a while ago by drinking this glass of wine!"
Winnie gulped down the wine and poured herself another glass. "Now, I’m drinking a toast to you. Will you accept it now?"
Still, Marie showed no signs of raising her glass.
This time, she simply ignored Winnie, not even wanting to talk to her again. Instead, she put some food on Leo’s plate. "Come on, honey. Have some of this."
Leo had goose pimples all over as he heard Marie calling him "honey", feeling extremely guilty.
"What do you mean by that, Marie?" Winnie growled, feeling as if she went back to her high school years again, when she was overshadowed by the glorious Marie.
"I mean nothing." Marie threw a glance at her. "I know what you want from me, Winnie. It’s impossible for your husband to work with the J Group."
Now everyone realized what was going on instantly.
Marie was taking her revenge on Winnie since she had insulted Leo.
Meanwhile, Reuben also realized it and suddenly, his face darkened. "Apologize to Miss Henderson now!"
Winnie became livid at the sight of her own husband yelling at her, but she refused to apologize.
