At dusk, the sun went down. Tina and Wilson sat in the car with sun-dappled windows.
Amin, sitting next to her, was talking to someone on the phone. Because he was in the car, he deliberately lowered his voice. Like Wilson, he talked about business.
Tina looked at the scenery outside the window.
After work, she came out of the office building and got in the car driven over by Amin.
Tina would accompany him to a social event.
Before she hung up the phone with Wilson last night, he told her that if Amin asked her to attend a business meal tomorrow, she should agree.
Tina thought about it for two seconds and finally agreed.
Today, Roger Zabel, the president of a cooperative company, invited Amin to a meal. They had met before. Besides, Tina remembered that she seemed to have seen him at the wedding of Terry and Susan.
They would meet at the leisure club near the river bank.
When Tina and Amin entered the room, Roger was already waiting in the private box in a neat suit.
The box equipped with a white leather sofa and a grey carpet was very spacious. There was a marble round table on the side of the room. Through the large windows, they could see the broad flowing river.
Roger got up from the sofa and said, "Mr. and Mrs. Stark, please sit down!"
After that, he gave a hollow laugh, feeling really awkward.
Though Roger took the initiative to invite them, he was still in a daze. Late last night, when he was sleeping with his wife in his arms, he suddenly received a call from Wilson. He asked him to invite Mr. and Mrs. Stark to dinner tomorrow.
He anxiously rubbed his hands together. When he didn't know what to say, someone suddenly pushed open a door on the right.
There was a secret door on the background wall! The design was very ingenious.
Wilson came out of the secret door.
He wore a black shirt and a pair of long pants. With a pair of silver-rimmed glasses, he looked gentle and cultivated, his behind the glasses deep and piercing.
Roger was shocked, and his eyes were wide open.
Wilson only told him to invite them to a meal but didn't say that he would come here himself...
He finally realized that he was fooled by Wilson's cunning tricks, again!
Tina was also stunned for a moment. Then she seemed to have figured out what had happened.
She found it both funny and annoying.
Amin was also struck dumb.
At this time, Roger also understood the purpose of this gathering.
It turned out that Wilson was here to meet Mr. and Mrs. Stark, through him, the innocent middleman.
Anyone would think that Amin and Tina were here as a couple. No one would find anything strange.
Roger stuttered nervously, "President, President Chin..." The look in his eyes was full of pity.
He wanted to ask why he would do that to him.
Wilson curled his lips, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Please help me entertain Mr. Stark!"
"..." Roger braced himself and bore it.
After that, Wilson took Tina away from the sofa.
Then, they left the box from the secret door that he had just come out of.
Roger and Amin were astonished and had nothing to say.
Roger was at a loss what to do.
He quietly observed the expression on Amin's face. Fortunately, he just frowned slightly and had no intention of stopping them. Finally, Roger pressed his hand on his throbbing temples to calm down.
Roger had no way to purge himself of suspicion. In the eyes of Mr. Stark, he helped Wilson take Mrs. Stark away. Besides, this was not the first time he did this.
Roger squeezed out a dry smile and said, "Mr. Stark, how about having some tea..."

Hate deception and Abby and Dylan take the cake ,ugh...
NO!!! Tina belongs with Wilson…. Let Dylan and Abby get together...
Wow, once again the villain messes up the true love, Abby needs to go back abroad. And Tina’s true identity as the daughter of Bill Ambrey needs to be exposed! Then the families can “convenience marry” !! Abby is a witch....
Too bad Wilson can’t figure out that his and Tina’s ex’s and his cousin Desmond are conniving creeps!...
Anthea is so stupid, lying and leaving the man who loves her more than life itself. 🤬...
She deserves to be unhappy, being with someone she doesn’t love because of resentment for the exact thing she is doing, hopefully she ends up with no one. Calvin is a wimp and doesn’t love her, just wants a wife to please his family....
So the same basic story as Simon and Addy but stupid Emily is going to marry him! What a hypocrite! Ugh...
Emily gets more stupid every chapter, when did she pickup Calvin as a fiancé!!?? This story line is awful….very sad to do to Simon what she “thought” he had done but didn’t. She is truly a dumb woman. Simon never loved or really even cared for Addy….what the hell is she doing with someone she doesn’t even know or like/love. Awful 😢...
Emily is a fool, don’t let go of the man who truly loves you. Let go of the past, of which he did nothing but help someone who saved his life, and be happy with him… he is your soulmate....
Nothing like cutting off your nose to spite your face Emily. Just stupid! Ugh 😩...
