Waylen stowed away his phone and responded with a smile, “Please express my gratitude to Mr. Williams. However, I find myself entangled in an important matter in Duefron, leaving me no spare time for a meal with him."

While engrossed in their conversation, Dudley approached.

Dudley Williams, an elegant entrepreneur in his early forties, reached out his hand to shake Waylen's, expressing his enthusiasm.

“Waylen, your performance in court was outstanding. As you have pressing matters to attend to, I won't insist on your stay. Nevertheless, the next time you visit Heron, please do allow me the pleasure of treating you to dinner."

“Absolutely,” Waylen replied gracefully.
