Both Jasper and John shared a look and smiled when they heard Vita praise the food.
Vita’s only hobby was eating good food, and this was something the other two had experienced firsthand. Upon hearing the man praise this blowfish dish, Jasper’s interest grew.
As the three drank and chatted, the private room door was knocked on and subsequently opened.
A middle aged man in a suit then entered.
“Mr. Layne. I heard my subordinates tell me that you’ve come to eat today. I didn’t believe them but here you are.”
Drogo entered the room and greeted Vita passionately. As the economy flourished, privately-owned enterprises normally require a hefty bank loan to grow. Drogo’s behavior right now clearly showed his reliance on this simple fact. This was also proof that Vita’s status in Waterhoof City was still quite considerable.
Vita smiled reservedly. Both Jasper and John were here, so he would not put on a big show of things.
“Mr. Rice. I brought my friends over today and we’re all greatly anticipating the restaurant’s blowfish dish.”
“This is Mr. Jackson of the Agricultural Bank, and this is Mr. Laine, a business friend.”
Vita knew that Jasper preferred to keep a low profile, so he did not introduce the man grandly.
As someone who had been working in the business field for years, Drogo could tell from Vita’s behavior that these two guests were special.
However, most of his attention was on John, who Vita claimed was from the Agricultural Bank. He merely assumed that Jasper was the one paying and trying to please the other two. He assumed that Jasper was just a small fry.
After all, the man was too young.
“Hello, Mr. Jackson. This is my name card. Please do come more often, I’ll make sure to give you a discount.” Drogo handed the name card with a wide smile.
