Not only did the people from the Fu family wear a frown, but even the members of Susanna's team were having a hard time keeping their composure. Under the table, the assistant was subtly tugging at Yelena's sleeve.
However, Yelena still held her chin high.
“Does you mean to say that Old Mr. Fuller disregards old friendships and only considers profits, Ms. Wate?” Lenora asked calmly.
Yelena’s expression stiffened. “That’s not what I meant.”
At that moment, the door to the private room opened, and Zachary and Susanna entered side by side.
Zachary looked strikingly handsome and came from a wealthy family while Susanna was delicately beautiful and had a successful career. Standing together, they were the envy of all.
The product manager sidled up to Lenora and whispered, “Mr. Fuller and Ms. Carston really make a perfect couple. It seems we’re about to have a new lady boss.”
A pang struck Lenora’s heart, her face turning pale. She forced a smile, stood up, and welcomed the two to take their seats.
“It’s truly an honor to have you here, Mr. Fuller. Please, have a seat over here. You too, Susanna!” Yelena, taking the initiative before Lenora, arranged for Zachary and Susanna to sit together.
Everyone else also stood up to greet them.
“Please, have a seat.”
Once Zachary began to speak, everyone took their seats again.
The atmosphere seemed quite amicable.
The atmosphere at the dinner table had shifted from the previous awkwardness. Yelena and the others took the initiative to bring up topics, occasionally cueing Zachary and Susanna into the conversation.
Zachary didn’t talk much, but whenever he did, his words were sharp and straight to the point.
Lenora was exceptionally silent, but with Zachary and Susanna around, no one noticed this.
At one point, Yelena looked at the plate in front of Susanna and reminded her, “Watch your portion size, Susanna.
Celebrities were particularly strict about managing their physique.
“I will…” Susanna replied with a pout as she placed the bacon onto Zachary’s plate. “Zack, I can’t finish this. Can you help me eat it?”
In front of them was a fondue. The bacon was coated with a lot of pepper.
As Zachary has a sensitive stomach, he often preferred light, non–spicy food.
To others, this statement might have sounded normal. They say that Mr. Fuller was already twenty years old when Ms. Wilkin entered the Fuller family. They didn’t grow up together, so how could there be any sibling–like affection?
