Moira and Aiken arrived just in time, only to find Alfie was not here yet. Alken’s face instantly darkened. “What is this supposed to mean?”

Alfie glanced at Moira, realizing the tense atmosphere, and took the initiative to explain. I’m sorry, Aiken, I got stuck in a traffic jam on the way here.”

Alken grunted coldly, ignoring Alfie.
Alfie pursed his lips and sat down.
Jeffrey was relieved and said, “We haven’t had a meal together for a long time. The last time we

Moira swept a glance at Lara and Barbara, then at Alfie’s hand, looked at the key, and let out a light laugh. “I’m afraid this is too much. I can’t take this since we are already done. Well, Ms. Guzman likes it. It won’t be a waste for you, Mr. Guzman.”
