Leslie turned to look at Bonnie in bewilderment. He couldnât believe his ears when Bonnie denied the fact that they were dating.
The members of the Payne Family were disgruntled. It turned out that Queenie dumped Leslie because she had found a better man, yet she had the cheek to sit on her high horse and speak in a high and mighty manner. She even tricked Leslie into dating Bonnie, her arrogant and rude sister!
She was so vicious and cunning.
However, Ashton, Leslieâs father, was a businessman through and through. So, when he heard about Nigelâs identity, he instinctively wanted to leave a good impression. If he managed such a feat, he would have won a valuable connection which would be a great advantage if there was an opportunity for collaboration in the future.
âHello, Mr. Manson. My name is Ashton Payne. I run an equipment and machinery business. Here, a toast to you.â Ashton immediately got up and raised his glass.
Nigel glanced around the table. Unfortunately, he didnât have his own glass. Hence, when he saw Queenieâs glass, he swiftly took it, stood up, raised it to Ashton, and took two sips.
Queenieâs heart skipped a beat at his actions! She had drunk the wine prior to his attendance! Could this be considered an indirect kiss?
Brandon hurriedly urged the waiter to bring a wine glass and filled it with wine before handing it to Nigel.
Maggie was overjoyed at this moment. Both her daughters were dating, and she was even more surprised that Queenieâs boyfriend was from an extremely wealthy family.
âQueenie, why didnât you bring Nigel to our house before?â Maggie murmured as her tone held at slight reproach. Although, to be fair, it was more than a little inappropriate to meet Nigel on such an occasion.
âIâm sorry, Mom. Iâll bring him back for dinner someday.â Queenie grinned.
