"Mr. Hughes, please get inside the car."

Edwin held the car door open for Brian.

Brian put his phone away and ordered, "Edwin, attend the dinner party on my behalf tonight."

Surprised, Edwin watched Brian slide into the driver's seat and speed off. Left with no other option, he took a taxi to attend Brian's appointment.

In an upscale restaurant, Rosalynn and Barlow were escorted to an unoccupied table by a waiter and took their seats.

“Hello, Rosalynn. What a coincidence to see you here.”

Sanford trailed Rosalynn and greeted her with a smile.

Ahint of surprise flashed through Rosalynn’s eyes.

"Hi, Sanford.”

With the same smile on his face, Sanford looked at Barlow and asked, "Who might this be?”

He looked familiar. Sanford wondered where he had seen him before.

“Barlow Tucker, my client,” Rosalynn answered.

Barlow!

Sanford's smile faltered, and his eyes narrowed.

“So, you're the new president of Sun Group! Would you mind if we dine together?"

He was well-acquainted with Brian's family.

Though he had never seen Barlow in person, Sanford was aware of his existence.

Unexpectedly, Barlow was acquainted with Rosalynn.

Was this a mere coincidence or a calculated scheme?

Seeing that Sanford sat down, Barlow greeted him with a slight nod and a composed expression.

“I've heard much about you."

"You've returned quite suddenly. Do you plan to develop your business back here?"
