Then the group of drivers passed the time smoking and chatting.
Suddenly the lounge door opened, and a waiter in a vest came in pushing a dining cart. There were a lot of desserts
and drinks like coffee and tea on the dining cart.
After placing all the food on the small coffee table in the middle of the lounge, the waiter smiled and said, "Enjoy,
everybody..."
Then the waiter pushed the dining cart and left.
As soon as the waiter left, the drivers dived on the desserts.
"Here, try this. It contains alcohol!"

"This is delicious! It's so delicious. I've never tasted anything so delicious before!"
"It seems to be a Raphael City specialty. I saw it on TV before."
"The Wosh family's ball is so grand. They even bought desserts from other cities!"
"Try this coffee. This coffee is good too..."
The drivers enjoyed themselves with the food while Sean sat quietly on a couch nearby, waiting for time to pass.
The driver with a face full of stubble saw Sean sitting alone and waved to Sean, saying, "Come on, kid. Have some
food too."
The beautiful woman's driver, Old Jones, said immediately, "Why did you invite him? He's not one of us."
"Oh, don't say that. Since he attended Dr. Wosh's daughter's birthday ball, he may as well have some desserts."
The driver with a pointy chin also said, "Come on. We're going to finish all the best desserts if you don't come over!
Look at these desserts. Have you tried them? Forget about eating them again after this. I don't think you've ever
seen it."
Sean calmly glanced at the desserts on the small table and felt helpless.
The desserts on the table were delicate but were far from high-end. They were the more ordinary stuff you would
find at a normal banquet. However, the drivers looked like they were tasting some hidden delicacy, leaving him
speechless.
"No thanks. You can enjoy them..." Sean shook his head and said flatly.
"Hey, are you looking down on us?" The driver with a pointy chin snapped.

The beautiful woman's driver, Old Jones, said, "Look, I told you to leave him alone, but you insisted on inviting him.
Do you know what it's like to be given the cold shoulder now?"
Sean pretended not to hear anything. He did not bother arguing with the group of drivers.
The ballroom.
Benedict greeted each guest with a smile and chatted with them.
Seeing his daughter conversing with a gentle and beautiful woman, he went over to greet them and said, "Rosie, I
didn't expect you to attend my daughter's party. I thought you would not respond to me as before."
Rosie smiled but did not speak so politely. "I came because it's Miriam's birthday ball today. I did it for Miriam's sake
and not yours. I won't bother coming if it's a party you threw for yourself. You know that..."
Rosie's words did not anger Benedict.
