But Jake had only guessed half of it. Mina's intentions were not about the wine at all. This wasn't a drinking contest, so there was no need to get wasted. She had something much more important to do.
"Who was it? What did they want?" Mina asked.
"Director Alexon. He told me to thank you properly," Jake replied honestly.
"Just a small gesture, not worth mentioning." Mina also knew that Director Alexon had seen the letter she left and didn't dwell on it. She then reached to open the wine.
Jake was quick, snatching the corkscrew first. "Let me do it."
"Be careful, this wine is expensive," Mina teased lightly.
Though it was a joke, Jake understood that the wine was genuinely pricey.
Carefully pouring a glass for each of them, Jake stood up and gave a slight bow, his expression serious. "Sister Mina, on behalf of the children at the orphanage, thank you for your donation."
The old Jake would have sold everything to repay such a donation, but things were different now.
