President King scooted closer to Melody Monroe. Melody subtly edged away, picked up a wine glass from the table, and poured one for President King. 'Rose should be here soon, right?' she thought anxiously.
President King immediately beamed, thinking Melody had finally seen the light.
"Thank you so much for your support, President King and Director Wendy," Melody said, standing up and raising her glass. "I'd like to propose another toast."
President King's hand suddenly jerked, and the glass tipped toward Melody, the wine splashing all over her.
"My hand slipped. Did it get you wet?" President King asked as he immediately reached for her.
Melody instantly dodged backward. "It's fine. Please excuse me for a moment."
"Do you need to change? My hotel is right nearby," President King asked directly.
"I still need to wait for Rose, she'll be here any minute. I'm just going to the restroom." Melody left quickly. Following a server's directions, she found the restroom.
