Chapter 63
When Moira was y
swheeled into the room by Barclay, the people inside were surprised.
The manager of Sega’s brand department found it hard to believe. Wasn’t tonight’s dinner supposed to finalis the endorsement deal for next year? He didn’t know why Barclay brought a woman here,
But they didn’t dare to ask questions even if they were curious.
Zachary, being in the entertainment industry for many years, immediately realized why Barclay suddenly arranged for them to come to dinner tonight
It couldn’t be a day earlier or a day later but had to be today.
Thinking of Moira and Felix trending on social media, Zachary was nervous. He needed to find an opportunity to smooth things over later.
He nudged Felix with his elbow, and Felix raised his eyebrows, glanced at Moira, then shifted his gaze to Barclay.
Barclay’s attention was on Moira, and after the others pulled out their chairs, he sat down
n with Moira.
The people then exchanged pleasantries. Moira knew most of the people in the private, which made her even more anxious.
After ordering the food, Zachary finally found an opportunity to speak, “Mrs. Covington, I didn’t expect your help for Felix to end up trending on social media. I’m really sorry to cause you trouble.””
As soon as Moira heard the address, her face flushed, and she glanced at Zachary with embarrassment. “It’s not a big deal,”
Zachary kicked Felix under the table, and Felix lazily said, “Anyway, it’s caused unnecessary trouble for Mr. and Mrs. Covington. I’m sorry.”
Felix rarely drank alcohol as he needed to protect his throat, but he downed a full glass of wine in one gulp.
Moira watched him, feeling that he was too bold.
But she couldn’t stop him in front of so many people, so she reached out and lightly touched Barclay’s arm, whispering, “Mr. Covington, Felix is my friend, and he didn’t mean to cause trouble for me. Just let him go.”
The people present pretended not to notice Maira whispering to Barclay
Barclay turned slightly. When he heard her standing up for Felix, he raised his eyes to look at Felix opposite him.
Unexpectedly, Felix was also looking over, and their eyes met. Barclay smirked, while Felix appeared indifferent, yet there was a hint of coldness in his eyes. They were like two kings sizing each other up. Although nothing was said or done, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
The others sat still, afraid to move or make any noise, fearing they might accidentally annoy the two of them.
Zachary nudged Felix’s arm and said, “Felix, don’t mess with this guy!”
Moira thought Barclay was angry and feared he might explode, so she tugged at his sleeve again and said, “Mr. Covington, don’t be angry.”
Moira was good at coaxing people, but when it cameto Barclay, she wasn’t that good at it.
After a pause, she added, “Anger causes wrinkles and makes you age faster.”
Barclay lightly tapped on the table, finally speaking in a calm and unhurried manner. “It was just an accident. Don’t take it to mind.”
Felix also chuckled and complimented, “Thanks for your understanding, Mr. Covington
