Leave Me Alone, Mr Shaffer by Diana Tenny

Chapter 64

The knock on the door was from the waiter, who was bringing the wine.

Isabella couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief as the conversation moved

past the previous topic due to the interruption.

“Miss Symons, here’s the wine you ordered.”

The waiter skillfully uncorked the bottle, poured it into a decanter, and then

filled their glasses.

Isabella glanced at the label and frowned immediately.

“Has this wine been opened?”

The waiter shook his head. “No. It’s our homemade wine.”

Isabella’s intuition blared a warning, telling her that this waiter was lying. Plus,

she found the bottle familiar as it resembled the one she had opened with

Seth during a dinner a few months ago. There was only about this much left

from that time.

She was worried that Gordon might notice. So, she didn’t press the matter

further. Instead, she raised her glass and toasted Gordon.

“Mr. Dunkstein, thanks for your help last time.”

Gordon smirked before downing the glass in one go. “This is a good wine.”

Isabella felt a little guilty. So, she forced a smile and lightly sipped from her

glass.

The wine had a rich taste and delicate aroma.

She had only taken a sip. Nonetheless, she only needed that one taste to

confirm her suspicions. She was almost certain it was the Latour that was

personally opened by Courtney back then.
