His gaze swept over everyone at the dining table, finally resting on Julia and her daughter, eyes filled with tenderness.
Dinner proceeded in a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere.
Monica suddenly interjected, "Victor, what have you been busy with lately? Any chance for me to get involved?"
There was a hint of provocation in her tone, her eyes fixed intently on Zhou Qingfeng. Everyone present keenly sensed something amiss between the two, their eyes darting back and forth, trying to gather some inside information.
Zhou Qingfeng suppressed his displeasure and responded with a calm smile, "Monica, your duty is to ensure everyone's safety. It's best not to bother with other matters."
Monica shrugged, smiling indifferently, "I owe you an apology; I didn't know much about you before, leading to some misunderstandings.
If there's anything you need help with, just let me know. I'm willing to make some effort to show my sincerity."
