Cecilia disliked being teased, especially about love. 

She glanced at Calvin coldly and said, “Mr. Yates, please don’t joke about it.” 

་་ 

Calvin, who did not know much about Cecilia, assumed they had gotten along well that afternoon and that she was easy to talk to. 

He didn’t expect her to be so serious, and the smile on his face disappeared.

In the end, Calvin granted Cecilia’s request and poured a glass for Yvette. 

He noticed that Christopher also had no intention of drinking and asked, “Are you going to let me drink this excellent wine alone?” 

“I have an international conference tomorrow morning, so I can’t drink,” Christopher explained. 

Calvin was rendered speechless. 

“What a liar! Then what did you drink earlier in the bar on the third floor? Don’t tell me it’s water,” Calvin thought. 

Despite his inner thoughts, Calvin didn’t voice any objections and let Christopher off.
