Chapter 373 Consulting Questions
James's brows relaxed, and the gloom on his face was swept away. He straightened his back and said, "In that case, Ms. Taylor, please join us."
As he spoke, he gestured, and his assistant quickly moved a chair next to James.
Samantha, who was originally sitting next to James, was forced to move away due to Scarlett. She said unhappily, "Mr. Rivera, she is Sebastian's doctor, she should sit next to Sebastian, right? How can she sit behind you?"
Quinn voluntarily moved his chair to the side, creating an empty space between him and Sebastian. "Ms. Scott is right. Move the chair here."
James, however, pressed down on the chair back and said, "That's not quite right, is it? Ms. Taylor may be Sebastian's doctor, but today she is my guest. A guest should have a place of honor. Ms. Taylor, please."
Piper spread her hands, understanding her brother's intentions, and helped out, "Scarlett, just sit down. Otherwise, we don't know when this banquet will start."
Sebastian said nothing, sipping lazily from a cup of tea, his deep, dark eyes reflected in the clear water.
Scarlett felt an urge to leave. They were too scheming. She really didn't want to stay.
But if she embarrassed Sebastian, she would definitely suffer.
So she refused, "No need. I am only responsible for Mr. Sebastian Kingsley's health. I have nothing to do with the banquet."
Sebastian took another sip of tea. "Mr. Rivera, the guests are getting impatient. Shouldn't we start serving the food?"
Sebastian and Scarlett really rubbed James's nose in it this time!
"Fine! Let's start the banquet!" With his hand on the empty chair back, James looked at Scarlett with a half-smile. She wore a black dress, her face cold and beautiful, surpassing everyone at the banquet. Her hands hung naturally in front of her. Although she was a doctor, her presence was unmatched.
Even his sister, Piper, who was quite reputable among the wealthy ladies, couldn't overshadow her.
He would definitely get to the bottom of Scarlett.
The table was soon filled with dishes.
James stood up and raised his glass, "Thank you all for coming. I propose a toast to all of you!"
The banquet began, and the atmosphere was pleasant. The hall was filled with lights and laughter.
Quinn occasionally glanced at Scarlett, smiling, "Ms. Taylor, are you hungry? What would you like to eat? I'll feed you."
Sebastian glanced at Quinn, "Just take care of yourself."
James said, "Sebastian, although she is your doctor, it's not appropriate to let her stand while all the guests are seated, right?"
Sebastian didn't refuse directly but turned his head slightly to ask Scarlett, "Do you want to sit?"
Where could she sit? She had already known that everyone at this table was trouble. No matter where she sat, it would cause problems. Sebastian was doing this on purpose to embarrass her! "No need, please continue."
James said, "Such a beautiful doctor, standing at the banquet and not allowed to eat, Sebastian, you are not very considerate."
Sebastian continued to eat. He looked up just in time to see James taking a sip of wine and said lightly, "Mr. Rivera, while good wine is enjoyable, it's best to drink in moderation. Don't overindulge."
He seemed to be saying, "Don't even think about coveting my people."
Quinn swallowed hard. That remark was also directed at him.
Scarlett frowned.
The guests understood without saying a word. Although she was labeled as a doctor, in these wealthy families, which one of them didn't have women around them?
If she didn't know her place and the rules, she would suffer greatly.
James chuckled, "Sebastian is right. This toast is for you."
Sebastian said, "I don't drink."
What a way to refuse.
James laughed, "In that case, I'll toast Ms. Taylor."
A waiter quickly handed her a glass, but before she could take it, Sebastian said, "She doesn't drink either. She's driving us home."
Were they overthinking it, or was Sebastian deliberately leading them to think inappropriately?
Quinn dropped a piece of food from his fork onto his plate, "Sebastian, you and Dr. Taylor?"
Sebastian chewed slowly, "Quinn, you like this dish. Eat more."
He placed a large piece of fried fish on Quinn's plate, signaling him to shut up.
The greasy fried fish was quite a challenge.
Quinn swallowed hard, "Thank you, Sebastian."
Piper smiled. Because of Scarlett, the whole atmosphere of the banquet had changed. The main focus today was not Sebastian or James, but this unassuming doctor!
"Ms. Taylor, I have some medical questions I'd like to consult you about. I heard you are hard to get a hold of, so it is a good opportunity now." she looked at Scarlett.
Scarlett glanced at Sebastian, who showed no reaction. "Alright, Ms. Rivera, please go ahead."
Piper wiped her mouth and stood up with a smile, "It's noisy here, and talking about medical issues might affect everyone's appetite. Please come with me."
Samantha also stood up, "Since it's a professional question, I also have some questions."
Piper smiled, "Alright, let's go together. We all study incardiology, so we can discuss both internal and external medicine."
