Curious, Yvaine glanced over. The man was breathtakingly handsome, with a sharp jawline and deep, striking features that almost gave him a mixed-race appearance. He was tall and exuded a commanding, intimidating aura. Surrounded by an entourage, he moved with a cold, aristocratic grace.
The man noticed Yvaine as well. He gave her a slight, polite nod before continuing into the restaurant with his group.-
Yvaine felt a flicker of confusion. She was fairly certain she didn't know him, so why had he greeted her?
She recognized a few faces in his entourage—prominent businessmen she had seen at various industry events. It seemed he was a businessman too, and judging by the heavy hitters flocking around him, his status was exceptionally high.
But since when did Brenok have such a dazzling, top-tier elite without her knowing?
Yvaine told her friend to head back to the room while she walked up to the reception to settle the bill.
This restaurant was a highly exclusive, members-only establishment, catering strictly to the wealthy and powerful.
The beautiful receptionist smiled warmly. "Hi, Ms. Sterling."
Yvaine nodded. "Who was that man just now?"
The receptionist smiled. "Are you asking about Mr. Sheridan?"
"Sheridan?"
"Yes, the son of the Sheridan family from Docksy. He's been here twice now, and our boss specifically instructed us to give him the absolute best service."
Yvaine nodded in realization. She knew of the Sheridan family—they were a mega-wealthy dynasty from Docksy.
For the past two years, rumors had circulated that the Sheridans were planning to move a significant portion of their operations to mainland, and local officials everywhere had been aggressively trying to woo them.
After thorough scouting, the Sheridan family finally chose Brenok, and the local government was eager to lock them down permanently. They even came up with the idea of a marriage alliance.
The Sheridans had put their second son in charge of the Brenok expansion. Since he was unmarried, the city scrambled to select suitable heiresses for him to wed.
Yvaine herself had been on that government shortlist, but because she was dating Zachary, the Sterling family had politely declined.
