The waiter followed Jonathan into the room, carrying two bottles of wine.
Sophia grinned, “Mr. Lamont is really going all out, whipping out two expensive bottles of wine just like that.”
The two bottles of wine were at least a six-figure sum.
Jonathan responded with a small smile, “You guys are friends of Ella, which makes you my friends. This is just a little something from me. I hope you all have a good time.”
Robin stood up and extended his hand to Jonathan, “Mr. Lamont, nice to meet you. I’m Robin, the head of ROL Tech. My company and the Lamont Group are about to collaborate, but the project is being handled by someone else, so we haven’t had the chance to meet.”
Jonathan shook his hand, “I’ve heard about you. You’ve built your success from scratch, made some impressive tech breakthroughs overseas, and managed to get ROL Tech listed on the stock market in no time. Pretty remarkable!”
“Compared to the Lamont Group, we still have a long way to go. But in our collaboration. I’ll give it my all,” Robin replied, maintaining his cool in front of Jonathan’s powerful aura.
Jonathan nodded and then turned to Estelle, “You guys playing a game here?”
Estelle chuckled, “Want to join us?”
“No need, you guys carry on. Carson and I have some work to discuss. When you’re done, call me, and we’ll head home together,” Jonathan replied gently. “Sure thing!” Estelle agreed.
After greeting everyone, Jonathan turned around and left.
Sophia exhaled, “Mr. Lamont’s aura is so intense, I was too scared to speak.”
Robin smiled, “Being in a high position for a long time naturally gives him a presence that’s hard for ordinary people to match.”
Harriet said, “Let’s thank Mr. Lamont for the wine and continue our game?”
“Let’s do it!” Sophia grabbed Robin’s arm, “Who’s afraid of whom?”
They played the game for a while longer, with some losing and some winning, maintaining a good atmosphere throughout.
When Estelle went to the restroom, Sophia sat next to Jason and asked him with a smile, “What were you and Estelle talking about in the other room?”
Jason glanced at Sophia, “We were talking about you!”
Sophia obviously didn’t believe it and frowned, “I set up such a good opportunity for you, and you don’t appreciate it. There might not be a next time.”
Jason took a sip of his wine and said expressionlessly, “Estelle already has a boyfriend, and their relationship is really solid. You saw it just now. Stop these shenanigans, and it’s embarrassing for everyone.”
Sophia sighed, leaning back on the sofa, “I know. I just wanted you and Estelle to spend more time together. I wasn’t trying to break up Estelle and Mr. Lamont
“Don’t do this again!” Jason’s calm eyes showed a hint of tolerance.
“Alright, I got it. I won’t do this again!” Sophia laughed, looking very cute.
Jason glanced at Sophia, feeling a bit bitter-sweet, but managed a small smile.
Around ten o’clock, everyone started to leave. Estelle texted Jonathan, and by the time she came downstairs, Jonathan’s car was already waiting outside.
Estelle said her goodbyes, Robin and Sophia also greeted Jonathan.
Jason’s driver arrived, and he instinctively wanted to offer Sophia a ride. But when he turned and saw Sophia with Robin, his buzz faded by half He said nothing, just casually said goodbye and got into his car.
Harriet called for a designated driver and left first.
Eventually, only Sophia and Robin were left. Robin went to hail a taxi. When the taxi arrived, he let Sophia in, grinning, “Remember to call me when you get home.”
Sophia, a hint of disappointment in her heart, asked, “You’re not coming with me?”
“I need to go back to the office, and I have an early meeting tomorrow. Going to your place is too far,” Robin explained.
Sophia smiled understandingly, waving her hand, “I’ll call you later then!”
“Sounds good!”
As Robin closed the car door and watched the taxi drive away, he turned and walked to his own car.
