Just as he was about to apologize, Adrian moved Jasper's hand away and politely asked, "Excuse me. You are?"

Immediately, Jasper froze out of shame with his hand hovering mid-air, “We spoke on the phone previously..."

After thinking for a few seconds, Adrian continued to smile before replying indifferently, "There have been too many people looking for me recently. However, I'm afraid your name doesn't ring a bell."

Jasper blushed as bright and red as a tomato. He wanted to say more, but Adrian didn't even bother glancing in his direction.

He passed him and went straight to Ariana with a warm smile across his face and said, "Ms. Edwards, I've been waiting for you for quite some time. Let me escort you in."
