Chapter 506 The Tax

• Lester, wearing white gloves, allowed Charlie to examine the wine bottle once more. Charlie noted the specifics, including the wine's vintage, provenance, and temperature, as well as the fact that it had not been opened. Then, without losing any wood shavings, Lester took the corkscrew and carefully removed the cork. Even the highball glasses were kept a little cold to preserve the taste of the wine. The decanter with the gold accent has also been cleaned. There was a little scent of red wine when half a bottle was put in. This was the first time these individuals had ever eaten wine like this. At nightclubs they had visited, they ordered cocktails as if they were tea. They also spent about $10,000 on it.
• However, they felt superior as they witnessed the owner and manager precisely pour the wine for them and particularly offer it to them in exquisite highball glasses. “It’s all thanks to Charlie that we get to drink such good wine. Let's raise a toast, please! Andy was really something. When he heard such comments, even the restaurant manager wanted to chuckle. "A toast is fine, but wine is meant to be savored," Charlie said, wildly swirling his highball glass. We ought to sip it gently. Gina nudged Yvette and added, "Charlie knows best." "Yvette, you have my undying envy!" Yvette gave a kind grin. As long as a bottle of wine can provide joy to everyone, it's sufficient.
• Everyone at the table got up to toast Yvette and Charlie after that, with the exception of Selena: No one observed any change, but everyone had a taste. Charlie yet maintained his reputation by remarking, "It's smooth." It's not at all harsh. Also, there's a trace of fruitiness. Like, hurry up. Isn't a wine from that place supposed to be harsh? Ever since he began to stand here, Lester had been anticipating the next moment. "This bottle of wine requires payment separately due to its high cost." Lester had the bill and card reader delivered. "Please check the bill, sir."
