Noelle’s remark made it seem as if Xylia knew Eliza was there but deliberately chose not to greet her.
Xylia frowned and looked at Noelle, “Ms. Coffey, just now you did not mention who you were dining with, did you?”
Noelle maintained her smile, yet a hint of malice flickered in her eyes.
She deliberately covered her mouth and looked at Xylia with an expression that seemed apologetic.
“Oh, what am I saying? Ms. Sadler has apany dinner today. Even if I were dining out with Joshua, she might not necessarilye over to greet.”
She deliberately cast a nce at the four people dining in the private room, a trace of disdain flickering in her
eyes.
Pathetic studio. Pathetic people.
She simply wanted Eliza to know that, for her sake, Xylia disregarded even the most basic etiquette for those pathetic employees at her stupid studio.
And Xylia was simply not worthy of being the Garcia family’s daughter–inw.
Unexpectedly, Eliza was already gently holding Xylia’s hand.
“Work is certainly important. I am only here to see you, and we will leave after finishing our meal.”
Xylia knew that Eliza was helping her out, and she gave Eliza a grateful look.
“I remember there’s another jewelry exhibition in Norhill the day after tomorrow. Mrs. Garcia, if you’re free, shall we go together?”
In any case, Joshua was her boyfriend, and she must show respect to his mother.
Incidentally, she had a matter she wishes to consult Eliza about.
Eliza was overjoyed and eximed, “Of course, that’s great! I’m free, really!”
After the two reached an agreement, Eliza saw that Xylia was busy, so she left with Noelle.
Noelle was deeply displeased, though she did not reveal it on her face.
It was not until they had left the restaurant that she spoke to Eliza.
“Mrs. Garcia, may I join you all at the jewelry exhibition the day after tomorrow?” She asked cautiously.
This made Eliza feel a bit sorry.
She pulled Noelle’s hand into hers and held it, her voice gentle and loving.

“Noelle, given how busy thepany has beentely and the fact that this jewelry exhibition is rather niche, it would be best for you to stay at home and get some proper rest.”
This means she had tactfully declined.
Noelle’s anger intensified further, yet she continued to present an obedient demeanor in front of Eliza.
“Okay, understood.”
Eliza affectionately stroked her head.
“Let’s go back.”
When Xylia returned to the private room again, Josie came over and asked.
“Who was it?”
“A friend’s mother came over and said hello.”
Josie did not inquire further.
Once the brief episode had passed, they happily resumed eating and drinking.
Xylia is still in the recovery period and couldn’t consume alcohol.
She was just looking after these people, making sure they didn’t get too drunk and could at least find their way home.
When Joshua called, she was smiling as she watched Josie and Leroy learning about the drinking culture of Alvend.
Xylia answered a call from Joshua.
Joshua said, “Did you not see the message I sent you?”
“I’m having dinner with colleagues from the studio and I didn’t notice. What’s wrong? Is it something urgent?”
As she spoke, Xylia picked up her phone to check her messages.
The chat interface with Joshua is rich in content.
She saw a photo sent by Joshua.
The photograph shows Leon and Mia entering a hotel hand in hand.
Both of them were wearing masks.
But Xylia still recognized those two people at a nce.
She couldn’t help but widen her eyes and asked Joshua, “Did you just meet them?”

Joshua replied, “Mm–hmm.”

This hotel is owned by the Garcia family. I just came here on business and ran into your third brother checking into a room with someone.
Xyliaughed softly twice.
“It appears that my third elder brother has seeded.”
Sessfully won the beauty’s heart.
Xylia asked Joshua, “Did you call just to tell me this?”
“No.” Joshua’s voice was low. “I miss you.”
Xylia’s ears began to feel warm.
‘Why did this guy suddenly start saying romantic things?‘
“When will the meal be over?”
Joshua softened his tone. His voice was deep and maic.
Xylia found Joshua’s voice really pleasant.
She nced at the group who were in high spirits from drinking and said, “It will likely take a while.”
“Send me your address. I will pick you upter and take you home.”
“It’s alreadyte. Once you’ve finished your work, just go home. I’ll go back by myself in a bit.”
Xylia did not want Joshua to be so exhausted.
Joshuained, “I haven’t seen you for two days already.”
There was a subtle undertone of grievance in the voice.
Xylia had no choice but to provide the address.
“Xylia! Mr. Sadler! What are you doing? Come over and have a drink!”
Josie was clearly intoxicated and unable to speak coherently.
Xylia hurriedly said to Joshua, “I’ll hang up first.”
Upon returning to the dining table, she began advising them not to drink.
Josie was young and loved to have fun.
With a mix of coaxing and trickery, Xylia took the wine ss from her hand.

Leroy was ustomed to such asions and possessed a considerable tolerance for alcohol. After this round, his face showed a slight flush, but there were no other noticeable effects.
Sheryl and Macy each drank only a small amount, yet both became slightly intoxicated.
The two young girls did not have a high tolerance for alcohol.
Josie was the drunkest person here.
She typically drank alcoholic beverages with low alcohol content when abroad. However, the alcoholic beverages in Alvend had quite a high alcohol content.
She identally drank too much.
Everyone was already drunk, yet she was still urging people to drink.
Seeing that everyone had put down their chopsticks, Xylia said, “If you have all finished eating, let’s go back. The dinner went on toote today. Tomorrow, you will have a day off.”
Upon hearing that, Sheryl and Macy perked up right away.
“That’s our boss<b>!</b><b>” </b>
“That’s our boss<b>!</b>”
After settling the bill, Xylia led them toward the main entrance.
The restaurant provided shuttle service, and Xylia requested the waiter to arrange a car to take them back.
The waiter went to make arrangements.
They were standing at the entrance, waiting for a vehicle.
Xylia held Josie, who was making a drunken scene, as Sheryl stood before them.
She looked at Xylia for a moment, then suddenly said, “Xylia, I will follow you for the rest of my life!”
“Count me in!”
Macy raised her hand in approval.
She was extremely satisfied with this job. The sry was high, the workload was light, and the boss was very
nice.
She really lucked out.
Xylia smiled, merely assuming they were drunk.
Leroy suddenly said, “Add one.”
Xylia was dumbfounded. She had not expected someone asposed as Leroy to join them.

As if having understood Xylia’s confusion, Leroy smiled and said, “I’ve learned a great deal in the studio. I’m grateful to you for giving me this opportunity, and I’ll contribute my efforts to the studio.”
It appeared to be demonstrating his loyalty.
Xylia felt a gentle warmth in her heart.
When the restaurant’s vehicle arrived, Xylia arranged for Leroy, Sheryl, and Macy to leave.
She was preparing to escort Josie back.
However, for some inexplicable reason, Josie quickly pushed Xylia away upon hearing that Xylia intended to escort her home.
“I will return on my own!”
As she spoke, she walked unsteadily toward the main road.
Xylia felt her temple throb and quickly stepped forward to grab Josie.
“Why are you trying to act tough when you’re already this drunk? The car is waiting for us. Hurry up and get in.”
“No, I can go back by myself!”
Josie raised her voice a bit, her tone tinged with wariness.
Xylia finally realized that something was wrong.
