Mr. Nores had been socializing outside for most of the evening, naturally feeling elated. After all, this collaboration with the Simpson Group and King Group brought numerous benefits.
Tonight, he was the center of attention. Those who had previously looked down on him and refused to cooperate were now actively seeking him out for drinks and conversation.
So Mr. Nores was basking in the limelight tonight, in high spirits and a cheerful mood.
Ayan naturally didn't respond to his words, and Rex remained silent as well since they had no official collaboration. Therefore, the one who ultimately responded was Horace.
Horace calmly said, "Mr. Nores, you're too kind. We were just discussing how perfect tonight's gathering was thanks to your arrangements."
Praised by Horace, Mr. Nores felt even better. However, he modestly replied, "You give me too much credit, Mr. Burris. I do these things for the sake of the project. As long as it benefits the project, I'm willing to do it."
The responses from everyone else were relatively plain. Mr. Nores quickly shifted the topic away from himself and said, "Mr. King also worked hard tonight. Although King Group's headquarters are in Flento City, their reputation in Hance City is not small. Tonight's success owes much to Mr. King's influence."
Mario also entered the room, and Mr. Nores promptly pulled a chair for him. Only after Mario sat down did Mr. Nores take a seat beside him.
Although Mario was younger and of lower status, his identity and position were clear. Even in this project collaboration, Mr. Nores had to elevate Mario.
Everyone noticed Mr. Nores's actions, but no one spoke up. It was the unspoken rule in this circle.
Once Mario was seated, Horace greeted him with a nod, followed by Camille, who glanced at Mario and called out, "Brother Shengxing."
Mario nodded slightly and wore a faint smile on his face, acknowledging the greeting.
As for Sienna, with no outsiders present, she naturally remained silent, and Rex was even less likely to speak.
The atmosphere was considerably quieter than before, and there was a hint of unease. However, Ayan and Horace were the most unaffected, showing no signs of concern or discomfort.
For a while, everyone maintained silence, and it was somewhat too quiet. At such a moment, someone naturally took the initiative to ease the atmosphere.
Sure enough, Mr. Nores put down his glass and began to speak.
Mr. Nores looked at Rex and said, "Mr. Ward, it is truly an honor for you to attend this gathering tonight. I know you are good friends with Mr. Simpson, otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to invite you and give us such face."
Rex leaned back in his chair, his expression devoid of emotion, slightly cold. However, he still responded, "Mr. Nores, you're too kind. I'm just here to have a drink."
"Mr. Ward, your presence is not just a drink, but the entire gathering. The key is that Mr. Ward graces us with his presence. It's our privilege," Mr. Nores continued, eager to make the most of the opportunity to win over the influential figures at the table. He added, "By the way, Mr. Ward is also related to Mr. King. Mrs. Ward is Mr. King's sister. Look at the coincidence."
