However, Christopher didn’t accept the menu. He flashed a warm smile and said, “Have Margaret order the food. She knows my preferences.”

Leila felt taken aback but soon pulled herself together. She passed the menu to Margaret and said, “Here you go.”

Meanwhile, Margaret glanced cautiously at Christopher, feeling tempted to order everything he disliked. Sadly, because they were there for negotiations, she decided against doing something reckless like that. Therefore, she racked her brain and ordered all the dishes and alcohol she thought he liked.
