Markel smiled and said, "I forgot that we don't work together. Mr. Peck naturally doesn't know me."
It sounded very generous, but in fact, it contained irony. It meant that Charlie Peck as a bastard did not deserve to be compared with him.
Charlie Peck narrowed his eyes slightly.
Markel smiled proudly and whispered to Kate Moss, "Kate, let's go!"
Kate Moss nodded.
They were ready to leave.
When they just walked away, Charlie Peck frowned.
Suddenly, he grabbed an accompanying staff beside him and asked seriously, "Is he the Markel who was criticized as an unfaithful person and wanted to be successful by relying on women?"
The staff was obviously holding back his laughter, but he still persuaded him in a serious tone, "Mr. Peck, you can't believe the rumors it easily."
"Oh! I don't believe it. I just have this impression. Besides, I don't have the time to care about this gossip!"
After that, he dragged Victoria Kaur to the VIP room.
Behind him, Markel's face was extremely dark.
And it was completely distorted.
Kate Moss glared at the backs of Charlie Peck and his staff angrily, and then looked at Markel with worry in her eyes.
"Ignore him. Charlie Peck has always been so arrogant and domineering! It is impossible to hear any good words from him!"
Markel smiled coldly, and a trace of maliciousness flashed across his eyes.
Then he patted Kate Moss's arm comfortingly as if he had turned back into the gentle and elegant person in an instant. He said, "Don't worry, no matter what the people say about me, as long as you, believe me, it's enough."
Kate Moss was relieved. They smiled at each other and left side by side.
Victoria Kaur followed Charlie Peck into the VIP room.
The three staff came in with them.
This room was in Japanese style. There was a short table in the middle of the private room with a soft cushion on both sides. After everyone entered the room, they sat down at the table separately.
When the waiter came in, Charlie Peck casually ordered a few dishes.
Then he waved his hand to let the waiter go out and closed the door. He told the waiter not to get in until he called.
Victoria Kaur sat next to Charlie Peck and raised her eyebrows.
She was sensible and did not speak.
Through their conversation, Victoria Kaur soon learned that among the three people who came in with Charlie Peck, one of them had a big beard, and his name was Maximilian. He was the person in charge of trading in Burma of The Stevenson family.
Maximilian frowned and looked a little anxious. He said, "Mr. White, I came to you this time to ask you for help!"
Charlie Peck looked indifferent and signaled him to continue.
"A week ago, we received a business deal and said that Mingo needed a batch of goods. Because they were all old custom, I didn't doubt it and sent a batch of goods according to his request. I didn't expect to be robbed by a group of unknown guys as soon as we arrived there!"
"Those people are very familiar with our route, personnel arrangement, and trading methods. According to my speculation, they should have been ambushed halfway! But I have checked carefully. I am in charge of this batch of goods, and there is absolutely no leak of information."
"That's not enough. The most important thing is that the buyer is in a hurry to get the goods, but I don't even know who the robbers are. How can I give them to him?
Damn them! Usually, they would call each other brothers. If something really happened, they would turn hostile and refuse to recognize each other. They would say that they would pay double the penalty if they didn't pay the money on time. You also know that it's not easy to do business in Mingo. How can I pay so much money to him? But we can't let the patriarch know about this, or I can't stay here anymore."
"So I can only beg you! Mr. White! I hope you can show mercy, even if it means that we have been loyal for so many years, please help us!"
