Chapter 776 Coming Closer for You to Hear Me

She frowned and turned her head, only to see Gilbert's face inches from hers. She hurriedly moved to the side and glared at him. "Just eat your meal. What are you doing getting so close to me?"

"You didn't hear me when I called out to you a few times, so I had to come closer for you to hear me." Gilbert let out a faint smile, which looked a bit dirty in her eyes.

Kisa did not want to talk to him but ate her meal silently. Gilbert served her some more of her favorite dishes, but she resisted, covering her plate with her hands and moving it away.

Peter and Jolina were in the same situation as they were. Peter also behaved like a rascal as he tried to please Jolina, who always kept a stony face in front of him. She did not eat the things that Peter served him.

Mia swept her eyes at everyone and could not help but sneer. "Some women like to play hard to get. If they really don't like men mollycoddling them, they shouldn't have come to the table in the first place." Mia did not mince her words, sounding a bit mean.

Jolina, being young, was too thin-skinned. Upon hearing what Mia said, she blushed and rose to her feet. "Enjoy your meal, everyone. Something came up, and I've got to leave. Please excuse me." She then grabbed her canvas

bag and hurried outside.

"Jolina," Peter called out to her, then looked back and glared at Mia before hurriedly chasing after Jolina.

Mia sipped her wine as if nothing had happened. "That girl is just thin-skinned. It was not like I was talking about her, really. Now I have gotten a glare from Peter for no reason."

Kisa was not amused and shot her a glance. "You were talking about me, right? Then why didn't you just name me at the beginning?"

"Yo, how dare I name you? Didn't you see these two men with sullen faces, looking like they were going to cut me up?"

"That's enough!" Jensen chucked two pieces of very fatty pork belly on her plate. "Just mind your own business."

I'm

Mia glanced at the pork belly and frowned. She then picked up her cutlery and smiled at him like a Cheshire cat. "This is the first time you have served me food. It is a memorable moment. So as much as I hate pork belly, still going to eat it, no matter what." She picked up the pork belly and sent it into her mouth with a revulsive look. Kisa watched on, trying hard not to laugh.

Sharon was afraid to make any statement after the last incident. Especially now that Adrien and Carolyn were not around, she did not want to stand out. She just ate her meal quietly, trying to make herself less noticeable.

Meanwhile, in the lounge, Adrien thoughtfully poured Carolyn a cup of tea and said apologetically, "I'm so sorry about just now."

"No, it is okay. It was just a minor accident." Carolyn sat in a ladylike posture and looked at Adrien with a gentle smile. Adrien was sitting across from her and smoking, saying nothing again. Carolyn nervously held the cup in her hands. After a long moment, she smiled at him and asked, "Mr. Tanner, I have often heard Sharon talk about you. She said that you and I used to know each other, but I... I don't remember seeing you before." Before Adrien could say anything, Carolyn hastily added, "But someone with a stature like you would be very impressionable. So I was puzzled. If I had actually met you before, I couldn't possibly have no impression of you."

Adrien exhaled a ring of smoke and chuckled. "You were the top artist of GK, and I was just a nobody who could only look up to you from under the stage like any other fans back then. So naturally, you don't remember me. But I have always remembered that beauty of yours.

Carolyn was a little embarrassed by what Adrien said. She hung her head, bashful and yet secretly delighted.

Adrien glanced at her with a sneer. "I told your daughter that you were an old acquaintance of mine because I wanted to bring us closer. I hope you don't mind."

Carolyn quickly shook her head. "No, no, I don't mind at

all."

A fleeting sneer flashed across Adrien's face when he saw Carolyn's shy and gleeful look.

"You let go of me!" Kisa covered her chest and slumped against a tree, feeling terrible.
