Chapter 3174 Instinctively Stand Up For Her Friend
"If you don't know something, no one will help you. Drinking without eating? Watch your stomach. You're already a loner, and if you end up in the hospital, no one will take care of you. It's really pathetic." Gale's words were harsh.
Gordan rolled his eyes. "Some friend you are, cursing me like that!"
Gale shrugged his shoulders and handed him some grilled beef. "You do look pretty pitiful. Here, have some. This is Dr. Craw's homemade marinated beef. It's better than anything you'd get outside."
Gordan knew Luca was a great cook. He raised his eyebrows. Even though he had not eaten all day, he was not particularly interested in food at the moment.
As he looked at the beef Gale handed to him, he pondered for a moment before taking it from him.
Even though he did not have an appetite, he knew he needed to eat something. Otherwise, his body would suffer, making it difficult to carry out any tasks later.
He took a bite.
The beef was brought over by Gale from Rain. It was a bit charred, but the juices burst in his mouth with the first bite.
The beef, grilled over charcoal, was a bit charred but juicy and flavorful. Gordan alternated between bites of meat and sips of alcohol, quickly finishing all five pieces on the plate.
When Gale saw him devouring the beef, he teased, "How is it? Isn't it better than those snacks you usually order with your drinks?"
"Indeed, Bian-ahem, Dr. Craw's cooking is excellent." Gordan almost had a slip of the tongue but caught himself. He knew that none of the women present was aware of Luca's true identity.
Even though they had unofficially accepted the relationship between Luca and Luke, he did not think it was appropriate to call Luca 'Bianca' in front of everyone.
Otherwise, it might cause dissatisfaction among the women.
After that, he shot a glance at Luke.
Luke's eyes slightly narrowed as he looked back at him.
Luke had caught Gordan almost slipping up, so Gordan quickly flashed a reassuring smile at him.
A deep flicker flashed across Luke's eyes as he pondered a question.
When he asked Louis earlier, Louis mentioned that Gordan knew about the gathering and asked to come along. That was why Louis thought Gordan had been invited.
How did Gordan know about the gathering? Had he been following Vivian? Luke thought about the favor Ray had asked of him... If Gordan was interested in Vivian now, what would that mean fortheir relationship? However, Luke dismissed the idea, knowing Gordan's preference for beautiful women.
He had not seen Vivian in a while. Even though she had changed, she was just
not Gordan's type. Luke concluded it was a coincidence that Gordan was here. The reasons were unrelated to Vivian.
Gordan picked up his wine glass and slowly walked toward Luke.
The moment he rose to his feet, he drew the attention of those who were at another table.
His gaze fell on Vivian. The moment their eyes met, she quickly looked away, pretending not to notice him. A hint of mockery flashed in Gordan's eyes. Vivian's attempt to avoid him was almost as though she was avoiding a predator.
He remembered how she used to cling to him, wanting to be with him all the time. Now, it was the complete opposite, which annoyed him. He could not be bothered to figure out why it annoyed him. He simply sat down next to Luke.
"Hey, Luke, how about a drink?" Gordan raised his glass.
Luke clinked glasses with him and took a small sip.
Gordan took a big gulp. When he noticed Luke's restraint, he complained," Luke, that's barely a sip! How can you enjoy yourself like that?"
Luke raised an eyebrow at him.
"This is how you drink!" added Gordan, shaking his empty glass.
Luca approached with more food and placed it on Luke's plate. When she heard Gordan, she said, "Mr. Norton, you're not savoring it. You're clearly drowning your sorrows."
Gordon's face stiffened at her words.
"Dr. Craw, don't say that. I'm not drowning my sorrows. I'm just enjoying some of Luke's fine wine. I can't let it go to waste, right?" He eyed the food on Luke's plate, remembering the taste of the beef.
The flavors of wine and beef were absolutely delightful.
"Drink less. It's hard to discuss matters when you're drunk," advised Luke. With so many people present, it might be a good opportunity to talk.
Gordan then realized that Luke had something important to discuss. It was possibly related to the Island of Despair. This meant he needed to drink
less.
"Luke, you're ruining my fun," grumbled Gordan.
"You can take a few bottles home and drink there," replied Luke. Although he enjoyed collecting fine wine, he was not a stingy person.
Once the discussions were over, Gordan could drink as much as he wanted,
wherever he wanted.
Gordan perked up. "Alright, it's a deal. Don't back out later."
"Gordan, how can you say that? Boss isn't someone like that," Gale chimed in, biting into another piece of beef.
Gordan, feeling envious, reached for the food on Luke's plate, but Luke swatted his hand away.
"Luke, you can't finish all this by yourself. Share some with me," pleaded Gordan.
"If you want some, grill your own," replied Luke expressionlessly, protecting his
plate.
The meats on his plate were grilled by Luca herself. They were a rare treat he refused to share. He did not want to share his food with Gordan.

The wind happened to blow toward Gordan, causing another puff of smoke from
the charcoal grill to blow into his face. It made him cough twice.
"Dr. Craw, why charcoal? It's so smoky!" Gordon could not help but ask Luca.
Was this not like a mini smoke bomb?

"Charcoal-grilled meat tastes better,
Mr. Norton. Grilling is part of the fun. If it's too much, @du can change spots," suggested Luca as she found

As a woman herself, she instinctively wanted to stand up for her friend.
Vivian had suffered so much because of Gordan. Even though they were now divorced, Vivian could not face him as she was haunted by her past.

Seeing him in such a predicament gave Luca a sense of satisfaction.
Gordan took her advice seriously and turned around to look at Gale, "You're not
grilling. Swap places with me."
Gale shook his head. No way. The smoke over there is terrible."
