Two families?!
Jack was very surprised, he was not prepared for this.
Then he looked at Aiden from the side.
Aiden understood, and hurried over, then he laughed awkwardly, and said, "Mr. Hughes, I don't know what to do."
"You can go."
Jack nodded.
This simple sentence was heard by Old Master Vaughn, Vinna and Ciara, and all three of them were very surprised.
This was clearly an order given by a higher person to his servant.
They looked at Jack with different eyes now.
After Aiden left.
Old Master Vaughn walked towards Jack, and said, "Mr. Hughes, please take a seat."
"Yes, yes, Mr. Hughes, please sit."
Vinna smiled at him friendly, her expression charming, there was no trace of her detest and rejection.
Jack was a little speechless as he looked at the woman sitting opposite to him.
Why was this Ciara so cold?
As he was faced with Old Master Vaughn's and Vinna's attack, Jack had no excuse of denying it, so he sat down in the master's seat between the two of them.
Brent and Lone Wolf were standing behind him.
Old Master Vaughn poured Jack some tea while Vinna looked at Ciara with a meaningful look.
Ciara's eyes were scornful, she finally stood up and said with a smile, "Mr. Hughes, thank you so much for taking the time to come to this dinner party, it's my fault that I didn't organize it all well."
As she said that, Old Master Vaughn and Vinna's face darkened.
Vinna grumbled in a flirtish manner, "What do you mean, Ciara?"
Were they chocking already?
Jack was surprised.
Ciara raised her brows and stared at Vinna, "I don't have the energy to fight with you now, I am here for Mr. Hughes, to talk about business, please stop being jealous."
She was very direct, without holding anything back.
Jack was very startled when watching this.
She really was a cold beauty that would only let the right one in!
Vinna's face changed, and she blushed.
Just as she was about to reply to Ciara, Old Master Vaughn started talking.
"Little Ms. Wattson, I am still here, how dare you talk to my granddaughter like that?"
"I am here to talk about business!" Ciara didn't back off.
Old Master Vaughn knitted his brows, he was slightly angry, "I don't care what you are going to talk to Mr. Hughes about, we are all gathered here, so we are going to talk about romances, you will have to keep your business speech for later."
What he just said completely knocked over Ciara's plans, she couldn't continue with it anymore.
Ciara knitted her brows, and looked at Vinna furiously.
If they were going to talk about romances, how could she win against Vinna?
She pushed her glasses up her nose, and looked at Jack, then she sat back helplessly.
Jack laughed bitterly inside.
He did want to talk with Ciara about business instead of what Old Master Vaughn wanted.
His most beautiful romances were always with Amber!
But he couldn't say much more.
He couldn't even say anything when Old Master Vaughn was scolding Ciara just now.
It didn't take long before the dinner party got going.
Old Master Vaughn talked about a lot of topics while he drank with Jack.
Vinna was filling their glasses continuously, smiling all along.
Ciara on the other hand didn't have a single sip of her drink, only when Old Master Vaughn and Vinna would ask her, she would raise her glass, but then put it down again.
The atmosphere was not as tight as before anymore.
In that time, Aiden arrived with more alcohol to drink with them.
But Jack gestured to Brent to have him leave the First Box.
He had been unfaithful before, so Jack couldn't trust him again.
Jack had made him lost his dignity, so he would crawl after him, not to serve as a prop.
