Duran had been able to get Sheffield's phone number.
Sheffield was led to the seat next to Evelyn. Maddock pulled his chair for him and said, "We saved the best seat for you, Mr. Sheffield, right next to the beautiful Miss Evelyn." Currently, the only enterprise in
Alorith that had the strength to compete against Hilton Group was Theo
Group, but Hilton Group was still much more powerful than Theo Group.
Hence, it was only natural that the guests felt that Sheffield had the rights to sit next to Evelyn
Sheffield took his seat, and looked at the silent woman beside him. He smiled, his eyes sparkling with affection.
"Miss Evelyn, you look gorgeous today. I've never seen you in a cheongsam before." He didn't know that she Liked wearing them at all.
Evelyn smiled back at him gracefully and said, “Thank you, Mr
Sheffield. You look handsome as well."
Zeus cut in, "You make a cute couple."
The others echoed, praising them both.
After a toast to the powerful couple, Duran asked the waiter to serve the dishes.
Once they were served, Evelyn glanced around at the hot dishes.
There were no greens in sight. She recognized some of the dishes—fish maw with abalone sauce, braised Japanese abalone, stewed crocodile paw with white truffles, steamed Alaska King Crab, braised whelk meat, black and red caviar and wild large yellow croaker
Even Evelyn, who often dined at this restaurant, had never ordered so many expensive dishes all at once.
Grabbing the caviar from the waiter, Duran placed a plate in front of
Evelyn and said, "Miss Evelyn, top caviar is a very rare delicacy.
We're very lucky that we got this today!"
There was a share of the caviar for everyone. The waiter announced proudly, “This fine caviar in front of you is from the body of a
60-year-old Chinese paddlefish. It's incredibly rare and valuable. We hope you enjoy it.”
Sheffield raised his eyebrows and said casually, "Age is the key to good caviar. The older the fish, the better the caviar. And since we are lucky enough to have such fine caviar today, I suggest we open a bottle of champagne. Nothing can beat the combination of some good champagne and caviar. It brings out the best flavors, just like a man with the right woman."
Evelyn pondered over his words. She knew that he meant it in an erotic way. Or was she just overthinking?
Turned out that she wasn't the only one who got that feeling. Duran grinned when he caught Sheffield's erotic subtext.
"You're absolutely right, Mr. Sheffield. Waiter, bring us two of your best champagne bottles!"
“Of course, sir, right away."
