My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 1622

Ryan could not help but burst into tears after hearing Gemma's cold and heartless words. He lifted his glass and gulped down a mouthful of wine.

Just then, a group of well-dressed bodyguards suddenly walked toward the restaurant entrance. Maverick spotted Nash sitting by the window at a glance and walked over with a smile. "Nash, it’s only been 28 minutes. I hope I'm not too late?"

Their table had four chairs.

Ryan was about to get up to make room, but Maverick placed his hand on his shoulder. "We're all friends here. Just sit!"

Then, he said to the bodyguard next to him, "Get me a chair!"

The bodyguard quickly brought over a chair, and Maverick sat down.

The waiter came over with the menu, and Maverick ordered three bottles of Romanée-Conti.

Reyrena's eyes twitched, and she asked Nash in a low voice, "Are all your friends this wealthy?"

Nash chuckled. "They're alright!"

Maverick intended to introduce himself. However, seeing that everyone at the table except Nash was quite ordinary, he was worried about intimidating them. Hence, he smiled and said, "I'm Nash's business partner, John Doe!"

After speaking, he even gave Nash a look as if he was seeking his approval.

"John Doe? What a name!" Reyrena chuckled while covering her mouth.

However, Gemma was sizing up Maverick.

She felt like she had seen Maverick somewhere before, but after thinking for a while, she could not recall where.

Maverick casually said, "It's just a name given by my parents. Even if it sounds bad, I still have to use it, right?"

At that moment, an elderly man in a suit approached Maverick and whispered something in his ear. Maverick looked up and glanced outside the window, where several black cars had parked. A large number of people in suits and sunglasses got out of the cars.
