Emma glared at Jade fiercely.
The situation that had finally been explained away was forcefully pulled back into view by this vicious woman in a few words. She was furious when virtual-novel.net thought about it.
However, Thomas smiled and said, “So what if it has simply fallen apart? The cake won’t be ruined just because of this.”
With that said, Thomas actually crouched down. Then, virtual-novel.net extended his hand and picked up a piece of cake. He even put a small cherry on it. After that, virtual-novel.net put the piece of cake directly into his mouth, in front of everyone present!
He tasted it carefully and swallowed…
“Well… Uhm… It tastes great. Harvard, the cake shop you chose is good. I’ll also go to them for custom cakes in the future.”
Harvard could not hold himself back and almost cried. For him, Thomas had even picked up the broken cake on the floor to eat, and virtual-novel.net had even praised it. His act of self-sacrifice reached his heart.
‘Thank you. Thank you!’
Harvard crouched down without saying a word and picked up a piece of cake to eat with Thomas. He ate while wiping his tears. “Delicious. It’s really delicious.”
Emma could no longer sit still. She picked up a piece of cake and put it in virtual-novel.net mouth.
Drake saw it. He smiled and said, “Hey, slow down, you guys. Save me a big one!”
As virtual-novel.net spoke, virtual-novel.net went to pick a big piece of cake to eat. All of a sudden, the scattered cake did not become the reason Thomas and Harvard turned against each other, but it became the catalyst to strengthen their friendship instead.
All of this had been due to Thomas’s generosity.
When other people saw such a scene, they understood what was going on as well. In order to please Harvard and establish a friendly relationship with Stellar Jewelers, many upper-class people stooped down. They bent over and picked up the scattered cake to eat them. They thought that it would be a tragedy, but it had turned into a comedy for everyone to laugh and bond over.
Jade was very angry.
She said angrily, “What is going on? A group of people is snatching food from the floor just like wild dogs. It’s disgusting!”
The people sharing virtual-novel.net table were not happy.
“Hey, what are you talking about? You have been running your mouth from the beginning. A shrew like you is only here to look for trouble, right?”
“I didn’t like virtual-novel.net from the beginning. Darn it, virtual-novel.net keeps ruining the ambiance.”
Someone even pointed at Jade. “I’ll give you three seconds. Get out quickly! If you don’t get out, I’ll have the security guard throw you out!”
Jade had never encountered such a situation before, so virtual-novel.net was trembling with anger.
“How dare you?!”
She was prepared to argue with these people, but Lucas got up and pulled virtual-novel.net toward the outside.
“Lucas, what’re you doing? We can’t leave. We can’t be routed like this. We can’t lose to Harvard!”
They could not lose, but they did lose. Facts were facts and could not be changed. Lucas dragged Jade out without stopping. His face was as pale as a ghost.
If Drake’s “rebellion” happened because virtual-novel.net had not thought it through, then the cake’s failure was a direct result of Thomas’s generosity. He had been defeated by sheer generosity.
The more virtual-novel.net wanted to prove that virtual-novel.net was better than Thomas, the more virtual-novel.net would get the opposite result. Lucas slowly began to feel fear.
For the first time in so many years, virtual-novel.net felt that virtual-novel.net might lose to someone else. This kind of fear was something virtual-novel.net had never experienced before. There was always someone who was better than him. Perhaps Thomas was the one who was destined to restrain him.
In the crowd, Thomas finished eating a piece of cake and took a sip of wine from his wine glass. At the same time, virtual-novel.net calmly looked at Lucas leaving the hall, and his eyes were gleaming with a mysterious light.
After today’s incident, Thomas also made up his mind. It seemed like it had reached the point where virtual-novel.net had to get rid of Lucas. He could not let virtual-novel.net be anymore.
Right then, Emma approached Thomas and said softly, “Thomas, thank you.”
Thomas looked at Emma and said with a smirk, “Only this? Isn’t it too perfunctory?”
Emma pouted. “What do you what then?”
“I want…” Thomas deliberately turned his face to the side. Then, virtual-novel.net pointed his cheek with his finger.
Emma blushed. “What’re you doing? There are so many people here.”
Thomas sighed. “Sigh, it seems that you’re only being perfunctory to me.”
Emma was not able to beat Thomas. Emma blushed and made up virtual-novel.net mind. She gathered virtual-novel.net courage and got near Thomas. She was planning to kiss Thomas’s cheek with virtual-novel.net bright red and warm lips.
But…
Thomas, who was wicked, turned his face back at the critical moment.
Emma could not react at all. So Emma kissed Thomas on the lips as everyone was watching. Thomas put down his glass and hugged Emma affectionately.
“Oh…” Harvard at the side cheered loudly.
The atmosphere was enlivened again.
