Chapter 96 - 95 bar
This woman was Barbara, and because Blair’s father was influential locally, she had come to pay her respects. Seeing how much Blair valued Monica, she guessed that Monica might be his girlfriend. So she smiled and said, "Today is your birthday, right? You’re really beautiful, happy birthday to you."
With that, Barbara clinked glasses with Monica.
Monica’s father was a congressman, with a high status, so Monica naturally looked down on women like Barbara. Her demeanor remained very aloof, and she didn’t utter a single word.
Barbara felt a bit embarrassed, but suddenly saw Jack on the side. So she smiled and said, "By the way, I have a bottle of private reserve wine that’s quite good, handsome, come with me to get it. Consider it a little token of my appreciation."
Saying that, Barbara took Jack’s arm and led him out of the room.
The men around exchanged glances, wanting to stop Jack, but seeing Blair’s changing expression, they remained silent, only watching Jack leave the room with Barbara.
After the two left, Blair immediately took out the birthday gift, and the men and women around started to cheer loudly, wanting Monica to accept it.
But Monica found it a bit boring.
Monica was used to being surrounded by people with various motives.
These people were careful to be by her side, afraid of offending her. Over time, Monica found it very boring.
However, that big guy named Jack was somewhat interesting. He seemed to have already known her identity, yet he dared to play tricks on her. She wondered if he was really foolish or just straightforward.
