Tyrone's eyes changed when he saw her. It seemed that he was surprised she was here. But soon, as if he didn't know her, he went straight to greet the other two.
Mr. Brown knew he was inferior. He stood up to greet him. "Mr. Raman."
James Franklin sat still and just laughed jokingly. "Just now we said you had to be made to drink as a forfeit for coming late. While you arrived in time. But you still have to be punished."
Tyrone sat down opposite Cathy and retorted with a casual smile, "I come here alone, and I'll drive later, so I'd better drink more tea."
James Franklin shook his head. "It's boring. It's rare for us to get together today. It’s necessary to drink for the gathering. I also heard that your branch company in Chicago is opposite Mr. Brown’s company. Such a fate is worthy of more than a glass of wine."
"Mr. Franklin is right." Mr. Brown smiled and nodded, picking up the teapot and pouring tea for Tyrone.
Since he came, Cathy somewhat absent-minded, thinking about something with her head slightly down.
James Franklin glanced at her and laughed. "What's wrong? Miss Lawson. You can still joke with me when you stayed with me. After Tyrone came, you said nothing . Are you nervous?"
Cathy subconsciously lifted her eyes and immediately saw the handsome face of the man opposite. Her mind was in turmoil "It's normal to be nervous. I didn't have much chance to sit with three such tycoons before."
She's a small manager. She can't even think about it.
He has a good-looking face and very few words in daily life. And nobody could guess his joys and sorrows. Knowing that Tyrone was LT Company's president, she was also curious about how the man managed such a large company.
She did not know much about him before.
Tyrone suddenly gave her a faint smile. "If not because of Mr. Brown, I would not know Manager Lawson, either."
"..."
Cathy's expression was stiff and awkward for a while.
What he meant by implication was that if Mr. Brown hadn't taken her with him, with her status, she would never have chance to sit here .
Did he come to humiliate her?
Reluctantly squeezed out a smile, Cathy responded neither hostile nor friendly. "I really should thank Mr. Brown . If it weren't for him, I might not have chance to see Mr. Raman."
The implication is that if she had known he would come, she would not come here even if she had to offended Mr. Brown.
Mr. Brown, who has been mentioned many times, looked at the two people Inexplicably, totally unaware of how he got involved into their conversation, and could only smiled awkwardly.
Tyrone looked at her, puckered his lower lip, and said nothing more.
James Franklin on the other side looked at both of them. His eyes were dark and deep. He said something strange: "I have known Mr. Raman for several years, and I heard that his hometown is in Chicago, so today he was also invited to come over. It turns out Miss Lawson and Mr. Raman knew each other."
Cathy raised her eyebrow and smiled faintly, "we've met... Once or twice."
She deliberately accentuated ‘once or twice’, thinking she could annoy him. Who knows that the man calmly threw out a few words, "I don't remember."
