than’s hand tightened around his wine glass. His expression remained neutral. “Mr. Vance, you’ve had too much › drink.”

haven’t… hic.”

ichard leaned toward Ethan. “That fiancée of yours isn’t nearly as pretty as her. That rumor from before… what as it? Mrs. Ford? She was right. Your taste is really… not great.”

Mia returned to the booth with the hot water just in time to hear Richard’s comment.

ler footsteps faltered. Her clear eyes landed on Ethan.

‘he booth’s light was behind and above Ethan, casting him in a shadow that made his features look blurred. But is gaze shifted from Richard to Mia.

The shimmering intensity in his eyes made Mia’s heart skip a beat.

Mr. Vance, you’re drunk.”

he placed the hot water directly in front of Richard, trying to cut him off.

ut Richard was just getting started. “See? She’s so attentive. I saw how much money you spent to pamper that girl rom the Bennett family-she’s clearly got a temper and doesn’t know how to take care of people. How can she ompare to Mia?”

than’s expression was unreadable. He looked at Mia with a hint of a mocking smile.

This is just what a subordinate is supposed to do. It’s not about being attentive,” Mia said, setting the water down ith a faint smile. “Ian Reed is a good subordinate as well.”

ichard slapped his forehead. “Look at me! I forgot! Mia and Ian are dating. Mr. Hale, even if you wanted her, here’s no chance anymore!”

Mr. Vance is joking,” Mia said, turning to sit back in her seat. “Mr. Hale wouldn’t want that.”

than’s jaw tightened, and his eyes turned incredibly deep.

Then your Mr. Hale has no taste.” Richard turned his head toward Mia. “I think you and lan are a perfect match. Il promote him when we get back and make him my assistant. That way, his status will match yours…”

fearing this, Mia smiled and changed the subject. “Mr. Vance, you’re too kind. Ian has plenty of potential on his wn after studying abroad; he doesn’t need to be promoted just to ‘match’ me. We’re just friends.”

Alcohol brought out the truth, and Richard was the type who might actually promote lan just because he knew Mia. But if Mia distanced herself too much, Richard might suddenly take a dislike to lan instead.

With that in mind, Mia added, “We’re just friends for now.”

Richard’s eyes crinkled into slits.

Well, when you’re ‘more than friends, make sure to let me know!” He raised his glass toward Ethan. “Mr. Hale, his is a cause for celebration! We should have a drink to toast them-may they find success soon!”

The tips of Ethan’s fingers turned white as he gripped his glass. In the next second, he set it down and snatched the wine away from Richard.

Mr. Vance, you’re drunk. Leo, take him back.”

He slammed the wine glass onto the table with a heavy thud.

The atmosphere instantly froze.

The sudden burst of emotion made Richard sober up quite a bit. He looked at the wine spilling over the table and hen at the displeasure etched into Ethan’s sharp profile. His heart skipped a beat.

‘Did I say something wrong?”
