"County Mayor Shaw, please go ahead."
Dirk Carter responded afterwards.
Then Jabez Shaw stood up and said to Darien Griffin, the Chairman of the People's Congress who was toasting, "Mr. Griffin, keep Secretary General Carter company."
At this moment, Darien Griffin was already in a slightly tipsy state.
His face was flushed, his head swaying, and his tongue was somewhat thick.
He patted his chest and said, "No problem, County Mayor Shaw, you... you go ahead, I'll keep Secretary General Carter company."
After saying this, he sat down next to Dirk Carter, in the spot Jabez Shaw had just vacated.
Houston Marshall, who had been serving nearby, immediately approached to pour Darien Griffin a drink.
It was unclear whether Darien Griffin was deliberately shaking his hand.
Or if Houston Marshall was distracted by something else.
Accidentally.
The drink overflowed.
Spilled all over Darien Griffin.
"Oh dear, oh dear, what are you doing? Are your eyes just for show?"
