Dwayne propped his elbow on the high–legged round table, leaning against it as he gazed at her.
I don’t know how long it has been.
He was dressed in a very formal all–black suit, with his short hair neatly combed and shiny. The Dwayne she knew was cold and indifferent, seeming indifferent to everything, but at this moment she saw a hint of a seemingly nonexistent heat in his
eyes.
Dorothy tightened her grip on the wine glass and calmly looked away.
Dwayne’s gaze shifted as well, clinking glasses with the person who came to greet him, the two of them as usual pretending not to know each other in public.
After Keith extricated himself from the guests, he walked straight to Dorothy and said, “There you are.”
“Have you finished chatting?”
He nodded and looked at Tyrell.
Tyrell reached out his hand for a handshake, “I have heard of Mr. Wexley’s great name.”
“Are you Carsen Calhoun’s grandson?” Keith shook his hand and quickly let go.
