Chapter 318 You Can Have the Drink
“Wow! Thanks, director!” The contestants clapped and cheered joyfully.
Amongst the crowd, Melanie was the only one who clapped mechanically as a vicious look flashed across her eyes.
At that moment, one of the crew served the juices, and she took the initiative to place a drink in front of each contestant and judge. “Enjoy the drinks, everyone. There are plenty more available backstage, so just holler for me to refill your glasses.” The member of the crew’s service was impeccable, and she was very enthusiastic.
“Thanks, this is great service from the production team.” Each of the contestants expressed their gratitude.
The atmosphere backstage during their break was quite pleasant and it felt very comfortable.
The member of the crew made her way in front of Vania and purposely paused for a moment before putting down the juice she had already held in her hand. She smiled and said, “Oh, this glass of juice here is specially prepared for you, Ms. Greyson.”
As the person spoke, she lifted a different glass from her tray and placed it down in front of Vania.
Vania studied the drink that had just been placed down intently, but it looked exactly the same as the other drinks. She had no idea how the staff could tell that this glass was specifically for her.
Vania took the glass of juice in front of her in her hands and twirled the glass as she studied it carefully before turning to look at the staff. With a smile, she asked, “What’s so special about this glass of juice?”
“Well…”
Everyone present clearly didn’t expect this question from Vania, so they focused their sights on that staff member and waited for her response. They were similarly quite curious about what was so special about that glass of juice.
This sudden, unexpected situation caused Melanie to grit her teeth in anger.
Bella’s so bad at planning things! How can that person make such a mistake?! Obviously, everyone would have realized that there was something wrong with the glass of juice when that person switched the two glasses in front of Vania and Hanson! Not only is she poor at completing her job, but she has also caused a mess!
Fortunately, the staff member was quite bright. She paused for a moment to consider before voicing out, with a smile, “What’s so special about this? Well, it’s because I’ve accidentally spilled some of the juice from that glass, so I didn’t want to give my idol the glass with less juice in it.”
The person’s expression as she spoke clearly had an air of innocence and cluelessness. Besides, the excuse that she came up with was plausible.
Subsequently, the staff didn’t wait for the crowd to react. She instantly turned to Hanson—sitting next to Vania—and spoke coyly, “President Luke, please forgive me. Would you be fine with this glass of juice?” As she spoke, she seemed to be trying to flirt with Hanson at the same time.
At that point, the crowd was taken aback. Everyone wondered what was wrong with this person in front of them. How dare she serve President Luke a glass with less juice in it? What’s she trying to do?
The jovial atmosphere from before suddenly turned quite tense, and everyone exchanged awkward looks with each other without uttering anything else.
As for Melanie, she was enraged and felt as if she was about to blow her top. She must be out of her mind! How dare she try to seduce Hanson after messing up? Melanie took a deep breath and temporarily suppressed her simmering anger as she looked at Hanson to check his reaction.
However, Hanson didn’t even bother to cast his eyes on the staff. He continued to twist the ring on his finger and spoke in a cold voice, “Ms. Greyson doesn’t drink anything other than plain water, so you can have her glass of juice.”
What?! Instantly, the expression on that staff member’s face turned ashen. This suggestion from Hanson was clearly outside of her expectations.
At that moment, Melanie was in shock too. Has Hanson found out?
Meanwhile, the staff member was momentarily dazed before finally coming to her senses, and she waved to signal her rejection. “Thanks for the kind offer, President Luke. This is for you and Ms. Greyson, so it would be very impudent of me to drink this!”
Subsequently, the person turned to Vania and said, “Ms. Greyson, please have this drink. I would be so mortified otherwise.”
Vania shook her head and smiled as she exchanged a look with Hanson.
