Revenge is best served cold (Jane and Jeremiah novel Chapter 293

Upon noticing my stunned expression, Eric probably thought that I was against the idea as he hurriedly explained, "You see, Flint Group's anniversary banquet is quite a big deal. If I intend to introduce you then, I should at least inform my elders about it beforehand.
