Faux Vows, True Desires novel Chapter 295

Cedric chuckled, "I know Tiffany already has a crush. We're just neighbors from childhood, no special feelings between us. The matchmaker was just too enthusiastic, thus the date tonight. If you're busy, you can head out first."

Cedric would love to chat more with Liam, but he could tell that Liam’s mind was elsewhere and he was just not interested in talking with him.

He kindly suggested Liam to leave first.

Liam was thrilled after receiving Tiffany’s call. Upon hearing Cedric’s words, he didn’t hesitate one bit to take his leave.

The moment he left, Avery arrived.

Hearing that Cedric was going on a date, Avery was a bit green with envy. He wanted to see with his own eyes who that woman was. To his surprise, he only found Cedric alone.

“Avery.”

Even with Avery’s arrival, Cedric still wore a gentle smile. He beckoned Avery to sit, “Everyone’s gone, but the food I ordered hasn’t arrived yet. Since you're here, why not join me for dinner?”

“Where’s your date?”

“She didn’t show up.”

Avery’s face softened a bit.

“Cedric, I told you. I’ll figure out a way to help with your company’s issues. You don’t have to sacrifice yourself,”

Avery was jealous, but he also cared for his lover.

Their relationship was kept under wraps, not many knew that they were a couple. Most thought that they were just good friends.

After the Frost Group faced financial troubles, Avery dipped into his savings to help Cedric out of troubles. But his hundreds of thousands of dollars couldn’t make a dent in the problems of such a big corporation.

The Frost Group needed an investment to solve their problems.

Cedric agreed to date Tiffany in hopes that the Paisley Group would lend a helping hand.

But business people were sly.

The Paisley Group may not help him out eventually. They agreed to a date, but she didn’t show up when the time came.

That was the Paisley Group’s attitude.

“Business issues are not your forte, Avery. You can't help me. This isn't something that can be solved just by giving me some money. Our company needs a powerful corporation to invest in us for us to bounce back. Otherwise, the Frost Group will go bankrupt sooner or later due to the rupture of the capital chain."

The business world was like an ocean, filled with ups and downs.

Even powerful companies were bound to face difficulties.

Cedric had already asked for help from many friends in the business world, but no one had reached out a helping hand yet.

“Cedric, the Ikella Group has the ability to help the Frost Group. You can ask their chairman for help.”

Avery suggested, which was actually an agreement between him and Trenton. As long as he went to approach Cecilia, deliberately pursued Cecilia to stimulate Owen, the latter would be willing to help the Frost Group.

The Frost Group was a big corporation in Pinehurst, but it couldn't compare to Ascend Global and the Ikella Group.

Frankly speaking, Cedric couldn’t even find Liam at Ascend Global, also Liam wasn’t even the person in charge of Ascend Global.

Cedric quietly looked at Avery’s face. After a while, he asked, “What have you been hiding from me?”

“I wouldn’t betray you. I just did Trenton a favor. He promised me that if I help him, he will help your company in return. Cedric, you should go to the chairman as soon as possible, he will definitely help you.”

Cedric frowned, “I don't have any business relationship with the Ikella Group nor any connection with Owen. Why would the chairman help me? I won't go to him unless you tell me what favor you did for him.”
