Chapter 1354


    Alvina Miller stood there in a daze, not knowing whether or not to sit down, but Zoey was secretly


    happy for her. He never thought that everyone would be so modest to let Alvina Miller sit next to


    Vice—President.


    In the end, Alvina Miller still sat on his seat, and immediately, someone looked at her with sympathy.


    Being asked a few questions by the Vice—Presidentter, he wondered if she would have the


    courage to answer.


    Amongst this group of people, Benson''s gaze seemed to be drooping, but he was actually thinking


    about something else.


    He wanted to see if Joseph Grant would have any interactions with Alvina Miller when he came over


    later. He wanted to see how they would act after this.


    Zoey saw that the corner of Alvina Miller''s mouth asionally curled up into a smile, and quickly


    turned to her side, reminding her in a soft voice: "Alvina, Benson has been staring at us from time to


    time, you should be carefulter. Don''t let him find out about your rtionship with Mister!"


    Hearing Zoey''s words, the smile on Alvina Miller''s face froze, he nced at Benson with the corner


    of his eyes, and indeed, Benson was staring at her without blinking, instantly causing her to feel


    repulsed.


    Is this Benson not done yet? Is her rejection not obvious enough? Why did he always feel that he


    still had a chance?


    After 10 minutes or so, the private room''s door opened to both sides, and Joseph Grant walked in


    with the rest of the team members. Benson suddenly saw a familiar figure, it was Barry Smith, he


    unexpectedly came along with them, and Benson immediately felt more confident.


    Joseph Grant had only brought three people with him today, two of them were his aides and the


    other one was Barry Smith. He was the envoy that had apanied him this time, so naturally, he


    wanted toe over for dinner as well.


    On the surface, Barry Smith was extremely respectful to Joseph Grant, causing people to not be


    able to see his actions.


    The moment Barry Smith entered, he took a nce at Benson. Benson''s dejected mood seemed to


    have been saved in an instant, and he was filled with battle power now.


    When Joseph Grant came in, his gaze was not directed at anyone. Apanied by two aides, he


    sat on the absolute main seat, with Barry Smith smiling merrily beside him.


    "Don''t be nervous, it''s just a simple meal. To be able to eat with one''s ownpatriots in a foreign


    land is truly a joyous and enjoyable thing!" After Joseph Grant sat down, he smiled and spoke in a


    friendly manner.


    Everyone knew that Mr. Vice—President was a modest and amiable person, his temper was also as


    warm as jade. Furthermore, he was around the same age as some of the people present, so it was


    inevitable that there was ack of pressure.


    Alvina Miller had originally been anxiously waiting for Joseph Grant toe over to meet his, but


    Zoey''s reminder caused her to tense up all of a sudden. He sat in her seat without moving, and not


    even his gaze drifted towards Joseph Grant.


    Barry Smith had always been good at socializing, so he had already expressed his stance. Only


    then did Barry Smith speak happily to everyone: "Mr. Vice—President is a very amiable person,


    everyone can speak freely and do not need to be restrained. If you have any work stuff, you can talk


    to Mr. Vice—President about it."


    Joseph Grant''s thin lips slightly pursed, her eyes could not help but look at Alvina Miller who was in


    a different position than his. Why did this little girl sit like a sculpture, not moving at all, not even


    lifting up his mouth to drink a mouthful of water. Her eyes were lowered, looking at the tableware on


    the table, he was very focused.

    Although Joseph Grant was extremely patient, at this moment, his beloved woman did not even


    give him a single nce, so the man was still worried.


    "Cough …" Joseph Grant purposely coughed softly, in order to hint at Alvina Miller.


    As expected, Alvina Miller understood what he meant and turned to look at him. Unfortunately, her


    bright ck eyes did not have any other emotions, but just swept over his face lightly, and then


    retracted.


    Joseph Grant''s heart instantly became chaotic, this little girl''s performance today was not bad, he


    could even act better than him.


    Joseph Grant could tell that Alvina Miller really did not want to express any sort of intimacy with him


    anymore. It was truly annoying, and at this moment, he wanted to exterminate all those who


    obstructed him from falling in love.


    Alvina Miller nced at him, and saw his concern for her from the man''s eyes. She wasughing


    nonstop in his heart, not knowing how he felt about pretending to be cold.


    However, she believed that he would definitely understand her. Otherwise, he wouldn''t be so


    indifferent to her.


    Barry Smith began to initiate a conversation with a few people from different departments who gave


    him some very useful suggestions. Barry Smith asked the people beside him to help him make a


    record to express their approval of them.


    The delicious dishes began to be served. Alvina Miller''s beautiful eyes immediately widened,


    because he was a little hungry. Seeing so much delicious food, how could she endure it?


    The corner of Joseph Grant''s eyes swept across the expression of her staring at the delicious food,


    and he couldn''t help but curl his lips. The essence of being a glutton, could manifest itself


    everywhere, and this little girl was hopeless.


    In truth, Alvina Miller and Joseph Grant agreed not to look at each other''s eyes. However, Zoey


    could not not pretend to be loyal.


    To her, the delicacy in front of her had no attraction whatsoever. From start to finish, her gaze would


    inadvertently fall on the Lieutenant Hilton''s body, even if he didn''t smile or had a serious expression


    on his face. In Zoey''s eyes, these were all extremely attractive.


    It was unknown if it was because Zoey''s gaze was too passionate when she looked over, but


    Lieutenant Hilton suddenly turned her head, and met her gaze.


    Zoey''s heart instantly exploded, her mind was also a field of nkness. She was so nervous that


    she almost forgot to breathe, and she quickly lowered her head. There was no ce for her to ce


    her gaze now.


    His hands, which were ced on his knees, were tightly clenched. His healthy and fair face was


    also flushed red with embarrassment.


    Lieutenant Hilton saw Zoey''s reaction and was startled, only to see a red cloud rise up on her face,


    it would be difficult for him not to see it, she suddenly felt that Zoey was extremely cute, being so


    timid, she did not know if sending her over was the right decision.


    After a table full of delicacies, everyone forgot their worries and the atmosphere at the scene.


    Everyone picked up their chopsticks and started to eat.


    Joseph Grant also moved his chopsticks, but he ate nonchntly, his pair of deep and serene eyes


    would asionally look at Alvina Miller who was beside him.


    Alvina Miller''s expression became even more natural, when Joseph Grant looked at her, she had


    already received the signal from the corner of his eyes, but he could not meet his gaze, as she was


    afraid that his heart would be filled with unrestrainedly passion.


    Benson and Barry Smith were secretly observing the expressions and eyes of Joseph Grant and


    Alvina Miller. Until now, they hadn''t seen anything amiss, they only saw Alvina Miller''s every move,


    and every single one of his actions showed interest in Joseph Grant. However, Joseph Grant was


    even more calm and collected, and didn''t really go and say anything to Alvina Miller.


    Because it''s dinner, of course there will be fine wine on the table. When Alvina Miller took a ss of


    red wine and was about to drink it, Benson''s voice suddenly transmitted over: "Alvina, it''s just right


    that you have a cold. It''s better not to drink it, let me pour you a cup of hot wine."


    The hand Alvina Miller was holding the cup with suddenly froze. Raising his head to look at Benson,


    he saw Benson quickly carrying a cup of hot tea to her side, acting extremely gentle and


    considerate.


    "Benson, don''t be like this!" Alvina Miller frowned and whispered.


    Benson, on the other hand, wanted to treat Alvina Miller better in front of everyone. Only like this,


    would everyone misunderstand that he and Alvina Miller were closer than them, and rumors would


    spread out in the future.


    The handsome face of the man in the host''s seat instantly darkened as a sharp glint shed across


    his eyes.


    However, as if he was not afraid of death, Benson carried away the red wine beside Alvina Miller''s


    hand and returned to his seat.


    Alvina Miller didn''t expect Benson to treat his as such. She didn''t have the time to react when he


    stole her red wine and gave her a cup of hot tea.


    The expressions of everyone around them were a little strange, because they could all see that


    Benson was chasing after Alvina Miller, and Alvina Miller didn''t seem to particrly reject him.


    Barry Smith watched the scene with satisfaction. Benson was quite quick—witted, knowing that he


    had to ingratiate himself with Alvina Miller in front of everyone, but he could not. Joseph Grant''s


    expression seemed to be a little ugly.
