Chapter 926 Teased by a Woman

“Aww, that’s so sweet! Did you eat some sweet stuff on the sly again?” Narissa bent down. At first, she wanted to pick Alexia up, but as her dress hindered her from doing so, she merely pinched the little girl on her plump cheek. “You’re such a lovely sweetie, Lexi!”

“Hehe!” Alexia winked her big eyes in a deliberate show of cuteness, which made everyone laugh gleefully.

Narissa led her inside by the hand before turning to look at Elise. “Why didn’t you guys come to me at the Cuber Residence right away when you arrived? My place has plenty of rooms, so why stay so far away instead?”

“It’d be inconvenient to do that. We brought our whole family with us, after all.” Elise made up an excuse before veering away from the subject. She asked, “And may I ask who this gentleman is?”

“Oh, this is Gale, whom I talked to you about. He’s now working at BJ Biotech,” Narissa replied.

Gale nodded by way of a greeting.

Elise stepped forward before extending her hand to shake hands with him. “Mr. Myres, thank you for the drug last time.”

Gale calmly avoided the awkward thank-you segment. “It’s nothing. I’m glad to be of help, anyway. Let’s get seated first,” he replied while walking to the dining table before pulling out the chair for Narissa in a gentlemanly manner. “Come and sit here, Narissa.”

Naturally, Narissa seated herself there.

While ordering food, Gale asked for her opinion first before telling the manager to have a tableful of dishes served according to her palate. “That’s it for now. Serve the wine once it’s decanted,” he said before dismissing the waiter.

While he was ordering food, Elise and Narissa whispered to each other. Elise asked, “Is Jamie not with you two?”
