Luca understood the meaning in Luke's eyes. Even though she did not agree, she continued to grill the meat without saying much.
Vivian also witnessed the scene. Although unsure of what was happening, she felt a bit worried. Hence, she asked in a soft voice, "Luca, are they okay?"
"It's nothing, just a conversation between a mother and son." Luca shook her head, refraining from gossiping to Vivian about Louis and Susan.
Vivian was not one to pry. The reason she asked was because she could not shake off her concern seeing that both of their expressions were not quite right.
When Luca said that, she did not press further. She simply nodded and passed over her already-cooked food to Luca. "I can't finish all this. Could you help me with some?"
She noticed Luca either passed the cooked food to Luke or the kids, hardly eating anything herself.
Luca accepted it and replied, "Thank you. You're really good at grilling."
Vivian modestly responded, "During the university's anniversary celebration a few days ago, the university allowed us to set up stalls on campus to sell snacks or small toys. I sold barbecued food with a few friends. They were the ones who taught me how to grill."
Luca nodded and took a bite. The meat was succulent and perfectly grilled. Impressed, she gave Vivian a thumbs-up. "Vivian, you're really good at this. It's good."
"Really? You guys should try it too." Vivian noticed that even though everyone was grilling on their own, they still shared with the men opposite them. Thus, she generously offered her food to them.
"Thank you, Ms. Vivian.” Rain took it and expressed her gratitude.
"Just call me Vivian," replied Vivian shyly. She was not some aristocrat in A City now, just an ordinary person.
Rain understood what she meant and nodded. "Thank you, Vivian."
Nina, Scarlett, and Sue also took a few pieces, thanking Vivian like Rain did.
Gordan, who was at another table, overheard their conversation. His eyes darkened, especially when Vivian spoke. The cunning gleam in his eyes grew even deeper.
Vivian…
In Russia, she used to put on airs, acting high and mighty. She had no friends to speak of. Now that she had come to A City, was she putting on an act to deceive others?
Still, what benefit could she gain from befriending these women? Was she intentionally trying to cause trouble by getting close to women with partners?
Gordan's thoughts were malicious, and he almost convinced himself that he was right. Vivian probably had her eyes on someone, and that was why she was acting this way. Given how unattractive she was, who could possibly find her appealing?
As Gordan thought about it, his gaze grew even darker. He picked up the scissors nearby, snipping off the burnt parts of the meat. Gale watched his actions and laughed carelessly.
Gordan's grilling skills were as mediocre as theirs.
Half of the piece of meat had been burned, leaving only a small portion that was still edible. It was truly a pitiful sight.
"What are you laughing at?" When Gordan saw Gale laughing at him, he wished he could throw the scissors at him. "That doesn't mean you're better than me."
Then, Gordon took a bite resentfully. It was just grilling meat. It was nothing difficult.
Vivian learned a little and started showing off. How amusing.
Gale nodded and replied, "Mr. Mallory can grill pretty well. Why don't you let him teach you a thing or two?"
