During lunch, the two men noticed Benjamin's absence. Matthew looked with confused eyes at the spot vacated by his alpha, then back at Zach. The honest guy didn't know what to ask.
Laura was more direct, "Zach, where is Benjamin?"
"He has some matters to deal with and won't be back for the time being." Zach answered naturally, holding the wine glass.
Laura twitched her eyebrows, "Then when will you come back?"
Zach shrugged, "Wait until the matter is settled."
Laura rolled her eyes, glared at Zach, and turned to look at Alice. Alice only knew that it was a request from old Hank's friend, and could not give Laura any useful response. She silently shook her head to express her ignorance.
The girl pursed her lips, frowned, and fiddled with the food on the plate, not knowing what she was thinking. Could it be that this guy had been trying not to invite Matthew because he was waiting for someone to show up, and then, um, test someone's reaction
We don’t understand the brain circuits of girls, so we shouldn’t make any assumptions. But, I really think that’s how it should be…
"Speaking of something." Zach raised the wine glass, "I remembered that I still have some things to deal with." Zach stood up, apologized to the people at the table, and reached out to pick up the plate that had not been moved much, "I Just first..."
Isn't this what vampires always do? Then he will return to the office with the plate in hand and enjoy lunch alone...
However, a certain girl was obviously not in a good mood today.
Laura held the fork and knocked it directly on the dining table, "Go to the office first!" She glared at Zach who was standing on the main seat, holding a wine glass in one hand and a dinner plate in the other, paying attention. Only a dinner plate, not even a fork!
The play was too familiar, and Zach was careless. But that's not the point.
Zach obviously didn't do anything, but he still inexplicably became the target of Laura's venting. "Every time! Every time!" Laura glared at Zach, "If you don't want me to come to Grande, just say so. ! What does it mean to leave early every time you eat! What a terrible energy to dine with me?! Am I that annoying?!"
Zach raised an eyebrow. Seriously. Laura’s resentment is definitely not against Zach, it doesn’t even have anything to do with Zach! This is just an unsightly gap. Now that I am full of anger, this is the only gap I can use to vent my anger.
Alice was already shaking her friend's arm and anxiously explained, "Of course not! We all like having you here..." and the like.
Zach stood for a while, then sat back silently, with a sincerely apologetic smile on his face, "Every time?"
Isn't it? But now our vampire expressions are really innocent. It’s like he’s completely unaware of this! He took an embarrassed sip of the wine, "That must have been my oversight." Zach looked at Laura sincerely, "I apologize for causing such an impression." Zach put down the wine glass and picked up the tableware, "Things It can wait, I should stay here to eat now." He cut the food in front of him very slowly, and added, "It is a very pleasant experience to dine with you."
Laura took a deep breath. He seemed to be aware of his gaffe, but still glared at Zach angrily. He turned around and apologized to Alice.
Pleasant experience? not at all.
Lunch became very long, and Laura realized that she had made a mistake!
Because the guy on the main seat eats extremely, extremely, extremely slowly! This causes everyone to slow down!
Laura sadly discovered that she used her etiquette towards guests to criticize her host Zach, and now she no longer has the position to ask for the rules that a well-mannered guest should abide by!
Everyone at the table began to have a hard time adapting to the guy who seemed to be eating at a snail's pace!
"Yeah." Zach actually chatted quite happily, "It's great. Alice~" Put down the tableware, poured the wine, sipped half the glass, picked up the tableware again, and gently touched the meat in front of him with the knife. gesticulating back and forth. "Every piece of meat should be cut to exactly the same size..."
After the vampire finished gesticulating, the knife was finally embedded in the flesh and moved slowly, "Did you know? In the Middle Ages, dining skills were an important indicator to judge whether a noble was qualified..."
Laura rolled her eyes countless times! She wanted to remind Zach that you still have things waiting for you in the office!
Unlike Laura, the rest of Grande's adaptation to Zach was just watching a show. They have never seen what a vampire who eats seriously looks like. Such a scene will probably never happen again in the future. They cherish the sight before them...
It was impossible for the young wolf Matthew to know the dining rules of the nobles. He ate at a normal speed, but he found that even Old Hank did not leave the table and glanced at Zack from time to time with inexplicable eyes. Then the young wolf was too embarrassed to leave. He packed a large plate of beans in embarrassment and used what he thought was the slowest speed to keep up with the table where no one left...
Finally, when Matthew had replenished the food on the plate for the fourth time and was about to vomit when he saw the beans, Zach raised the knife and said, "Matthew, I don't recommend that you continue to eat."
Laura stared at the half-full food on Zach's plate bitterly, roaring in her heart, 'Shut up! Eat quickly! 'Oh, Laura also replenished the salad for the second time. She didn't have the courage to replenish it for the third time!
The honest young wolf looked at Zach with a sad expression, thanking God.
Zach smiled and waved his hand, "If you get fat, you won't be able to wear the dress I made before." Zach Hao didn't realize that he had caused trouble to the people at the table, and shook his fork with ink, "Morelin The girdle is very strict, if you can't fit it in, I will feel sorry for the full price I paid."
'Corset', 'dress', certain words caught the girl's nerves, "What dress?" Laura looked at Matthew, twitching the corner of her mouth, knowing that asking this honest guy was useless, she looked at Zach .
"Oh!" Zach smiled and put down the tableware again very naturally. Laura was speechless about this. Fortunately, she had something more important to know now.
Zach picked up the wine glass, swung it, took a sip, and spoke slowly, "Matthew made a few sets of clothes before. In addition to formal wear for work, he also has one set for attending parties, such as dances and dinners..." Zach said to Luo La winked, "A dress for this occasion."
In fact, it was the mind-reading tailor who, after learning that his son had been 'sold' by Zach, made extra money out of anger in order to squeeze out of Zach's wallet.
Zach squinted at Laura, stopped his meaningful smile, and shook his head with some regret, "Forget it, Matthew doesn't have those occasions to go to anyway, it's really a pity..."
The vampire looked at Laura's slightly confused breathing and raised his eyebrows. As Grand's master, he can only help so much. (..)
