Zelena watched the blonde waiter bring the wine toward Violeta, her smile growing and a glint of mischief appearing in her eyes.

The waiter reached Violeta with the wine in hand.

Surprisingly, Violeta already had a glass and ignored the waiter. However, Giulia, who was without a drink, smoothly grabbed the wine from the tray and started chatting with Violeta, her eyes filled with admiration. Oh no!

Zelena's heart skipped a beat when she saw Giulia take the wine. She signaled to the blonde waiter, who seemed uncertain about what to do next. He obviously could not just take the wine back, could he?

"Vio, I'm allergic to alcohol. Could we swap drinks?"

The waiter had only brought red wine, so Giulia was out of options.

Since neither had started drinking, swapping was not too troublesome. To refuse would appear disrespectful to Giulia. Violeta lightly smiled, "Sure."

After they swapped drinks, Violeta did not immediately drink hers, instead just held the glass.

Seeing this, the blonde waiter sighed with relief and quickly left with the tray.
