“Dear distinguished guests, it’s our hotel’s honor that you can come to Lume for dinner today. This bottle of Red Bordeaux is my gift to you. I hope you don’t mind!”
After saying this, Titus placed the red wine on the table.
After hearing Titus’s introduction, everyone was stunned, and they were extremely puzzled.
At this moment, Connor was also speechless. ‘Titus, you could’ve delivered the wine at every other moment. Why did he have to come now?’
Titus turned and looked at Connor after he finished speaking.
Connor quickly gave Titus a look, signaling him to take the bottle of wine away.
However, Titus didn’t seem to understand what Connor meant. He thought that Connor wanted him to leave as soon as possible, so Titus smiled awkwardly and turned around to leave the private room.
Connor was even more speechless after seeing Titus leave.
Sandra, Qahira, Shane, and the others looked at the red wine on the table with puzzled expressions.
“What’s with this bottle of wine?”
Freya’s mother, Laura, hesitated and asked in a puzzled tone.
“That’s right, who is this influential that Mr. Jenkins personally sent wine over?”
Ailee was stunned for a moment before she wondered aloud as well.
Qahira hesitated momentarily, then glanced briefly at the people in the private room and said indifferently, “There are so many of us, but Shane seems to be the only one who knows Mr. Jenkins, right?”
“That’s right. Among all of us, only Shane can have this type of connection. Mr. Jenkins himself presented the wine, so it must be because of Shane!” Sandra quickly pitched in.
Sandra cheered up again and felt that she had completely regained the reputation she had just lost.
She patted Shane’s shoulder and said, “Shane, no wonder you refused when 1 asked for some wine. It’s because you knew that Mr. Jenkins would take the initiative to send wine over. If you knew, why didn’t you just tell me? We wouldn’t have stirred up such a big misunderstanding…”
Shane looked at Sandra with a dumbfounded expression because he had no idea why Titus would personally send wine over.
“Ah, Mom, Shane might not even know if Mr. Jenkins would send the wine over. If he told us the truth, it will be awkward if Mr. Jenkins didn’t send the wine over!” Qahira quickly cooperated with Sandra.
“Haha, make sense! Shane is so considerate!”
Sandra smiled proudly, then took the bottle of red wine on the table and studied it very seriously.
“I wonder what wine this is and how much it’s worth?” Sandra looked at the red wine in her hand and muttered softly.
In fact, Sandra didn’t care how much this bottle of red wine was worth at all.
Mr. Jenkins had already given her enough of an ego-stroking by presenting the wine himself.
Even if this bottle of red wine wasn’t valuable, Sandra didn’t care.
Connor sat with a helpless expression on his face.
Originally, Connor thought that the meal would end then, but who would have thought that Titus would suddenly appear and even present a bottle of red wine?
Now, Qahira and Sandra, who were originally listless, were wound up again.
Moreover, Connor knew better than anyone how this bottle of wine came about.
Sandra was very proud of herself as she walked to Sean with a glass of red wine. Then, she said to Sean with a smile, “Sean, you are familiar with alcohol. Come and take a look at this bottle of wine. What brand is it, and how much is it worth?”
Sean was surprised. Then, he quickly reached out to take the red wine and study it seriously.
“Well? Is this bottle of wine worth anything?” Sandra asked Sean impatiently.
“This is a Lafite Rothschild 1998 from the Bordeaux winery in France!” Sean looked at Sandra and sighed.
“Lafite Rothschild 1998? What brand is this?”
Sandra was not a drinker herself and did not know much about red wine, so she frowned and asked, “Sean, you know that 1 don’t like to drink, so don’t beat around the bush with me. Just tell me how much this bottle of wine is worth!”
After hearing this, Sean hesitated before slowly saying, “1 estimate that this bottle of wine costs at least 500,000 dollars!”
When everyone heard Sean’s estimation, their eyes widened in shock.
It was already unbelievable that Titus could personally deliver the wine to them.
However, what they didn’t expect even more was that the bottle of wine that Titus sent was a bottle of wine worth more than 500,000 dollars. How shocking!
After Sandra found out the price of the bottle of wine, she smiled smugly. She was no longer as cold to Shane as before and became enthusiastic.
Meanwhile, Shane sat with a confused expression on his face. He had no idea what was going on.
Even if Titus recognized him as the deputy general manager of Eon Investment Company, there was no need to be so generous, right?
Even Shane’s boss, Joshua Qualls, wouldn’t have been able to get such a treatment!
However, when he saw the happy expressions on Qahira, Sandra, and the others’ faces, he felt that he had to pretend to be cool no matter what. Otherwise, all his efforts over the past few days would be in vain.
Meanwhile, Connor was cursing Titus in his heart.
Titus was a good person, but he liked to suck up to others. He had clearly warned Titus not to expose his identity.
Although he did not expose Connor’s identity, he did not know how much trouble his actions had caused Connor.
In the blink of an eye, more than half an hour had passed.
During this meal, Sandra was radiant and spoke in high spirits. Shane had made her proud, so she was naturally very happy.
Meanwhile, Sean and Laura felt helpless. Freya was better than Qahira in every aspect.
However, Qahira found a rich man like Shane as her boyfriend, while her daughter could only be with a loser like Connor, who delivered food. They were naturally very unhappy.
Therefore, Sean and Laura drank most of the red wine to drown their disappointment..
