Chris also saw that Zoe's expression wasn't good. He immediately guessed that she wasn't comfortable.
He could also conclude that she was secretly complaining about him in her heart.
But even if he wanted to help, he can't do anything infront of her father; else he might misunderstand the situation.
In the Classy Mansion, the Diamond box was the most luxurious box. And it's large round table could serve up to 20 persons.
Chris sat next to Norman who looked at his daughter sitting directly opposite them and said: "Zoe, there's just the 3 of us in here, why sit so far?"
Zoe replied with an awkward expression: "I like it here, I found it weird for people to sit next to each other in a table this big."
"Okay, if you say!", Norman said as he shook his head helplessly.
After that, he turned to Chris and asked: "Chris can you have 2 glasses?"
Chris laughed and said: "Sure, but that strongly depends on you, don't you have classes in the afternoon?"
Norman laughed and replied: "I don't have classes in the afternoon, so I can take the rest day off. We can have a couple of drinks, afterwards I can take Zoe home."
"You are right Uncle, Zoe has suffered alot for a while now, she really needs some rest. At least an entire day or 2 even.", Chris replied.
Norman smiled and said: "Alright then, let's have some drinks!"
Just then, Overl walked in and asked Chris directly: "Lord Chris, the cold dishes are ready, should we serve them first?"
Chris replied: "No problem, please also get me 2 bottles of Montai, I will like to have a couple of glasses with Professor Eugene."
Overl nodded and said: "Alright Lord, I'll do just that. The diamond box meals will be brought for you guys shortly."
Chris waved his hand and said: "why being so ostentatious, the diamond box's meals are usually for 20 persons, we are just 3, how can we possible finish it?"
Norman also hurriedly added: "please let's jus eat casually, let's no be too extravagant and wasteful."
Chris suddenly got a bright idea and said: "Professor Eugene, why don't you follow Mr. Overl to the kitchen and make choices directly from the source."
"No, no, no, I'm really not the picky type, I can have anything really."
Chris laughed and said: "To tell you the truth, I want you to have a meal of your choice, you really don't need to have to be picky to have a favorite meal."
Overl Hong listened to the confusion and said: "Lord Chris, if you want to choose a dish, I could get you menu. Generally speaking, people are usually not allowed into the kitchen."
Overl noticed that Chris was looking at Zoe with a slight frown and quickly understood that Lord Arthur wanted to send the professor away to have an alone time with his daughter, so added: "but since you are Lord Chris's guest, I'll let you come with me to the kitchen so you can give give first hand instruction to our chefs."
When Norman saw this, he found it difficult to refuse such hospitality and so said: "Alright, I'll come with you."
And so stood up and left the box with Overl.
Immediately they left, Chris turned to Zoe and said with some embarrassment: "Zoe, are the clothes I bought for you okay?"
