Chapter 260
Of course, some were tempted when they heard that they could have a dance with Mr. Bowers..
After all, the socialites knew that they would never be able to have a man like Samuel, who had both the looks and the background. Therefore, it would be an honor for them to be able to even have a dance with him.
“I‘m in.”
“I know a little about wine. I’d like to try too!”
When Susan and Phoebe realized that Natalie had yet to voice her desire to join, their hearts began racing. After exchanging a glance, Phoebe asked her, “Ms. Natalie, you seem to like wine a lot, so I‘m sure you know wine well. You‘re going to join in with this guessing game, aren‘t you?”
Before Natalie could answer her, Phoebe added, “I‘m sure you‘ll be able to differentiate between the good and the bad wine after drinking that much of the Leister family‘s wine, right?”
Hearing that, Natalie pursed her lips and turned to look at the beaming Phoebe.
Unsurprisingly, the daughter of a prestigious family like the Leister family would be smarter than the ordinary person.
Evidently, Phoebe was forcing her to join.
If she did not, it would mean she was admitting that she had no sense of aesthetics, it would mean that the Leister family‘s wine was wasted on her. On the other hand, if she joined and failed to give the correct answers, she would become the laughingstock of the day.
It was a trap
Natalie knew it was a trap, but still, she stepped right into it.
As she looked into Phoebe‘s gleeful eyes, Natalie replied, “Count me in.”
That surprised Phoebe and Susan, for they thought that she would have admitted defeat instead of agreeing to the invitation. Hmph. If she refuses to bow to us now, she‘s going to embarrass herself later.
On the other hand, Natalie put a hand on her forehead and sighed. It‘s as if women‘s nature is to be a lovestruck idiot.
