Chapter 1159 There Aren’t Any Outsiders Around, Anyways
"Doris has plans with someone." Emmeline took the opportunity at once.
"I don't care about her plans," Waylon said calmly. "I came here for lunch."
Emmeline and Sam exchanged a glance.
So this had been all for nothing?
Not long after, the glass door was opened and a man in his thirties walked in.
He said to Emmeline, "Hello, I'm the manager of Struyria Banquet. Your food is here, where should I put it?"
"Struyria Banquet?" Emmeline glanced at Waylon. "Bro, did you order that?"
"Yep," Waylon said. "Have them bring it to the third floor."
Emmeline was speechless. This was pretty generous.
Abel had even ordered food from the Nimbus Hotel.
That had arrived, too.
The people from Struyria Banquet left, and the people from Nimbus Hotel showed up right after.
Not long after, Abel and Luca showed up as well.
Everyone went up to the third floor.

Waylon called to inform Benjamin.
Adelmar Group was pretty near Nightfall Cafe.
Within just ten minutes, Benjamin had shown up with Janie.
Janie was wearing black and white office clothes, looking simple and chic.
Next to Benjamin, the two of them were a sight for sore eyes.
Luca sat down at the table, opening two bottles of wine for everyone.
"You have some too," Abel said to Luca. "I'm not going out in the afternoon, I'll be at Nightfall."
Sam took the opportunity to take the bottle out of Luca's hands, and poured everyone a glass of wine.
"Let me serve you, here!"
Luca kept his head bowed, not daring to say a word.
Sam deftly poured a round of wine for everyone, even filling the glass in front of Luca.
"Mr. Abel told you to drink, and that's just what you'll do! Can't be going against an order, can you?"
Luca was speechless.
He wasn't going against Mr. Abel's orders!
He was just worried that drinking would screw the plan up!
"Sam, are you trying to help him or give him a hard time here?" Emmeline looked pointedly at him. "I just can't tell."
Sam's face flushed. "What are you saying? I couldn't possibly give Luca a hard time even if I tried!"
"Aha!" Emmeline smiled. "You're trying to help him, then! Heard that, Luca?"
Luca pursed his lips, turning to Sam earnestly. "Thank you!"
Everyone laughed.
Over on Doris and Daniel's end.
They parked the car, and walked into Fortune Tower.
The place was at its busiest then.
Daniel had booked a spot in the lounge.
The server came over with a menu, and the two of them ordered a good amount of dishes.
"Two bottles of your best merlot, please," Daniel said at the end.
"Just one will do," Doris said. "I can't drink too much."
Daniel stopped short.
He couldn't drink much, either.

Doris knew how much he could drink last time in Blue Sky Villa.
"Just one bottle, then."
Daniel had initially thought that one bottle looked too stingy, and Doris' words had helped him out.
"We can just chat, you know," Doris said. "Drinking too much really isn't necessary— this isn't a business discussion,
anyways."
"I completely agree," Daniel said. "There aren't any outsiders around, anyway."
Daniel's words seemed to mean more than one thing, and Doris did not know what to say.
She did not see Daniel as a stranger, nor as a friend.
To be honest, she had a pretty good impression of him from that first time they met at Blue Sky Villa.
This man seemed mild-mannered and polite, as well as friendly.
She had only agreed to go out with him today to return the favor she'd owed him.
He had given her directions in Blue Sky Villa, and even helped her up when she almost fell.
This still constituted a favor to Doris.
Doris had excused herself to the bathroom right after the waiter left, and paid the bill.
She had even paid a little extra, worrying that they might order more things after.
That way, she could still get the money back for what she hadn't spent.
On her way back to her table, Doris spotted a familiar-looking man.
The sight made her take a step back.
That was her brother-in-law!
