Chapter 34 Toast Nicole gently compressed her lips in a smile. “Didn‘t they say already?
She‘s a doctor.” Aleena puckered up her lips. “I wonder what her relationship with Silas is.
Could it be that he likes her?” Nicole shot Aleena a disapproving look. “Do you know why
men fall for women of this sort?” Aleena was nonplussed. “Why?”
Nicole leaned toward her and responded, “It‘s because she‘s high up there, far away from
him, playing hard to get. This would intensify every man‘s desire to possess a woman. Eve
n so, she‘s actually easy to hook up with as she‘s open–
minded, bold, and is good at reading the room. Everyone that she has her eyes on will pro
bably be in her bag.” Hearing this startled Aleena. “What should we do then?”
A scornful look flashed across Nicole‘s face before she added blandly, “I feel like you can g
o and give her a toast. It‘s as if you‘re giving Silas a toast. Even though he didn‘t comment
about what happened earlier, I can‘t say for sure that he‘s not bothered. Giving them a to
ast might help ease the
tension between you guys, and it might also show what an understanding person you are.

Aleena felt good about these words.
“Nicole, you‘re the best. Just wait and see how I‘m going to cause her to be publicly humili
ated.”
As Aleena spoke, she tip–
toed her way to Gianna. “Miss Aubrey, Robin‘s my cousin and he was here with me. I‘d like
to offer my apology for making things so awkward during our first encounter. Please do fo
rgive him. I‘d like to offer you a toast.” Gianna still felt uneasy as she had already downed
a
few glasses of the beverage. She then smiled and responded, “You can find your own way
to drink with Mr. Nolan. I was just responding to the questions of the patient as a doctor. Yo
u guys lining up to apologize to me only makes me look like a narrow–
minded person.” Aleena responded, “Don‘t say that. Miss Aubrey, we‘re not in the same li
ne of work, and we also don‘t know you too
well. That‘s why we can only keep apologizing. Otherwise, we might offend you. By then, S
ilas‘s going to blame us again.” Gianna raised her eyebrows. Does this mean that I‘m not
entitled to be unhappy when they‘re the ones picking on me?
Silas put his wine glass down. “I‘m afraid I don‘t have a big heart like the others. If you dar
e to pick a fight in front of me, then you shouldn‘t blame me for not feeling you out!”
Then, Aleena replied nicely, “Yes. You‘re right. That‘s why I‘m here to apologize. Am I not o
ne of your friends anymore?” As she spoke, she turned to Gianna and added sarcastically,
“Miss Aubrey, you have to accept this toast. If you don‘t, Silas isn‘t going to forgive me.”
At this point, Gianna frowned. “Miss, I don‘t think I even know your name, and I think we‘r
e not on the same page. You didn‘t offend me as we’ve never even talked before this. Sav
e the apology. If you‘re worried about what your cousin did, please don‘t; I‘m not that petty
. If you‘re afraid that Silas‘s still going to be mad at you, you should be giving him a toast i
nstead.”
Aleena was slightly startled. She then frowned with a menacing look on her face. “But wha
t if I just want to give you a
toast, Miss Aubrey?” Silas let out a frown. “What do you want? Didn‘t she tell you she‘s un

as
if she was being misunderstood. “Is she really not able to drink or are you not letting her d
rink?”
Silas squinted and stared at Aleena. “Is there any difference?”
Chapter 34 Toast Aleena was rendered speechless. Now their misunderstanding had just b
ecome worse. Gianna must be
really into Silas, and that‘s why she‘s filled with all this enmity toward me. “Fine then. I‘ll d
rink with you.”
Gianna had a gentle and generous smile on her face as she blurted
out with her wine glass in the air, “Can someone pour me some wine?” Being the gentlema
face dropped. “You haven‘t even eaten anything. Why would you drink now?”
