Norris reached out and shook Gordon's hand. "Norris. I've heard a lot about you, Master Ninth."
Gordon was slightly older than Norris. Back when Norris was finishing his master's degree, he had already heard of the legends surrounding this man, a formidable figure in both military and business circles. At the time, even Norris's thesis advisor was a fan of Gordon's.
"You're too kind. It's just a name," Gordon replied modestly.
"Brother Norris, Celeste, let's sit down!" Caitlin interjected. "We've already ordered."
Caitlin had figured out Norris and Celeste's tastes, so she had gone ahead and ordered their food in advance.
Gordon said, "I'll go tell the waiter they can start bringing the dishes out."
"Go ahead," Caitlin nodded.
Gordon turned and walked out of the private room.

The door closed behind him.
Caitlin looked at Norris. "So, Brother Norris, what do you think of my taste?"
"My sister's taste is naturally excellent," Norris said with a smile. "Gordon's character and looks are top-notch. Now, it just depends on how well you two get along."
With thirteen older brothers to protect their sister, Norris wasn't the least bit worried about Gordon mistreating her.
If Gordon dared to lay a single finger on Caitlin, he was finished.
Before long, Gordon returned.
Norris asked the waiter to bring several bottles of vodka. "Mr. Sylvester, do you drink?"
"A little," Gordon replied.
Norris smiled. "This is a rare opportunity. How about we have a drink?"
"Of course." Gordon nodded slightly. "I'll be sure to drink to my heart's content with Brother Norris tonight!"
Norris looked at Gordon. "That's great to hear. It's been a long time since I've had a good drinking partner. Tonight, we don't go home until we're drunk."
A man's character is often revealed when he's drunk. Meeting his sister's boyfriend for the first time, Norris naturally wanted to properly test Gordon's true character.
"To not going home until we're drunk."
Caitlin tugged on Gordon's sleeve and whispered a warning, "My brother can really hold his liquor. Be careful. If you really can't drink anymore, don't force yourself."
The Richards brothers were all sharp as tacks. Caitlin could easily see why Norris wanted Gordon to drink at their first meeting.
"I know."
Caitlin then asked, "By the way, do you get wild when you're drunk?"
She had never seen Gordon drunk before.
"Don't worry, I'm a very good drunk. When I've had too much, I just quietly go to sleep."
Caitlin felt relieved to hear that.
Soon, the dishes arrived, and Gordon and Norris began to drink.

So happy for Carey, the reunion with her family is touching. Can we read more of Caitlin and Gordon? Readers are forgetting that Caitlin has a boyfriend by the way. Is it normal for their relationship to be erased in the storyline?...
