Chapter 382: Voyeur Squad
Wanda hates the taste of wine.
She'd almost never been in alcohol before, and the only time she tried it was when she went out with Daisy Jessica and Gwen. Daisy was thrilled when she heard that she hadn't drunk before, and tricked her into trying the legendary cocktail called "Don't Come Home Tonight......
...... Let's not talk about the follow-up. The end result was that Wanda had a very bad impression of everything called "wine", so she never drank on any occasion since.
Until today.
Wanda is trying to fit in with the unfamiliar surroundings around her, so it seems to her that she can't do without a drink. She had even spent a night adding to her knowledge of common wines, so that she could learn how to taste them in a high-sounding vocabulary.
Wanda frowned and took a small sip of wine from the goblet, then frowned: "Mellow taste, rare richness, very good, it should be at least DOCG wine." ”
The words are very beautiful, and even I was almost convinced, but the wine is ...... It's really not tasty.
To tell the truth, Wanda searched the Internet for a lot of common descriptions of various wines, and watched the drinking friends on the Internet use all kinds of fancy and high-end words to almost mythologize wine to the level of "only in heaven", but let her say it herself...... Well, take the glass of red wine in her hand as an example, she actually didn't taste the slightest "mellow" taste. She only felt sour and bitter, and she didn't know what was good about this thing.
In fact, she is more interested in the coffee pudding on the side of the dessert section than this "upper drink", the rich milky aroma, and the delicate and tender taste that seems to linger between her lips and teeth...... In any case, it seems to be much more attractive than red wine, right?
No, that's something that only little girls will be interested in, and she must not be ashamed to behave more maturely feminine today...... Well???
"They say the coffee pudding tastes good here," Michael said with a plate of sweets in his left hand and a plate of coffee pudding in his right hand, "Eat some?" ”
Wanda scratched her cheek and took it slowly: "Well, since you say so, then let me taste it......"
So Wanda put aside the red wine she wasn't interested in for a while and happily ate the coffee pudding.
Michael rightfully knew that she wasn't interested in wine at all, and besides, what she had just "tasted" was just VdT's daily table wine, not DOCG at all...... But it doesn't matter, if only Wanda can be happy.
......
Another part of the banquet venue.
Daisy Johnson wore a black gown with a "trainee journalist" badge around her neck. With a wine glass in her hand, she skillfully used her sophisticated spy skills to hide behind the crowd, carefully observing the situation on Michael and Wanda's side from a distance.
"How's it going? Any progress? ”
Gwen leaned in from behind, a small white slip dress, her white, rounded shoulders reflecting a healthy glow in the chandelier. She leaned behind Daisy curiously, her mouth also eating the same coffee pudding as Wanda's.
Mr. Paso invited Wanda to a dinner tonight, which completely aroused the gossip of the rest of the team. From the first time Pietro revealed signs of their relationship warming up, the relationship between the boss and Wanda has become a common topic of concern for everyone in the team.
It's not that everyone gossips to the point where they're interested in the private lives of every teammate, and if Wanda was dating anyone else — even her own brother — it wouldn't have attracted so much attention. The problem is that the object is Michael, their boss, the man who is omnipotent and desireless like a god in their minds.
Can someone like Michael Paso really have a love life too? And is it and Wanda?
They are just showing concern, yes, that's it, definitely not out of any gossip psychology to chase here.
"Hehe, what a bunch of little girls." Eddie Bullock chuckled, "So keen on this little thing." ”
"Although I agree with you," Jessica Jones sat cross-legged on the side in a pale yellow dress, drinking, and squinted at Eddie with contempt, "but you're not qualified to say that, are you?" ”
As he spoke, Eddie was holding a DSLR camera in his hand, the lens pointed directly at Michael and Wanda, and his eyes were open without blinking, for fear of missing a detail.
Jessica maintained a pose that didn't match the dress at all, her snow-white long legs were cocked high under her skirt, and she complained to herself while drinking, "Why should I come to this place with you?" I never said I was interested......"
"You're not a private detective, isn't this kind of work your specialty?"
Jessica raised an eyebrow: "Do you think my job is to spy behind people every day?" ”
"Is there something wrong?"
"You're a voyeur paparazzi, you're not qualified to talk about me, are you?"
"I'm a regular journalist! Besides, my main area now is talk shows! ”
"It's pretty much the same anyway. Otherwise, why is your old uncle still gossiping like a little girl? Obviously, the professional habits of the paparazzi are burned into the bones, right? ”
“......”
"There's progress!" Daisy was suddenly excited and beckoned to them in front of her.
Eddie Thief snuck closer, "Hey, when did you get so close?" In case Mr. Paso finds out......"
"It's okay, I'm careful. Guess what I just heard? Daisy grinned and said, "Just now, a golden retriever boy who didn't think much of himself went to talk to Wanda, and was glared at by the boss and slipped away with his tail between his legs." But guess what the boss just said? He said 'my girlfriend', obviously referring to Wanda! ”
"Wow, really?" Eddie whistled in a low voice, "Case closed, case closed, Mr. Paso is actually dating Wanda." ”
Gwen pouted on the side and protested, "Also...... You can't just say that, right? It's just ...... It's just that the person is harassing Wanda's sister, and it is possible that Mr. Paso deliberately said that to help her get rid of that person, right? ”
Eddie lifted his chin thoughtfully: "Uh-huh, I really can't help but consider this possibility. ”
"Oh~?" Daisy smiled strangely and looked at Gwen, "I'll just say, Gwen seems to be unexpectedly interested in Mr. Partos and Wanda's affairs these days." It won't ......"
Gwen panicked: "What are you talking about?" I didn't...... There is no ...... at all"
"Oh? Really? ”
"Just a friendly reminder." Jessica said expressionlessly, gesturing ahead, "But the boss is gone." ”
Everyone turned around in unison, and sure enough, Wanda was the only one left over there while they were arguing, and Michael had disappeared from their view at some point.
At this moment, almost everyone instinctively realized that something was wrong.
Sure enough, in the next second, the boss appeared behind the four of them like a ghost.
"What are you doing here?"
