That night, Neera got on the car, and called Jean on her phone.
“Have you finished work yet? What time are you coming home?”
Jean’s gentle voice traveled through the speakers right as the call went through.
Neera’s heart melted as she curled her lips into a smile. “Yeah, I’m done with work. But I’m not coming home for dinner tonight.”
Jean paused for a moment and asked: “Is there a social event or something?”
“Yeah, sort of. I’m going to have dinner with someone tonight. You guys can have dinner first, you don’t have to wait for me.”
Jean responded with an “okay”, and continued asking: “Who are you meeting? Is it a friend?”
“They’re not my friend, or should I say client. They’re Uncle Chad’s.” she admitted honestly.
Jean was relieved with her explanation. He told her to come home early and put down the call.
Half an hour later, Neera arrived at the Grand Palace International Hotel.
The hotel was also quite renowned in Essley, with magnificent decor and grandeur.
The people who could enter and exit the hotel must be of the uppermost echelons of society.
Just as Neera got out of the car, a servant came to greet her.
She revealed her identity and took out the invitation. The servant then immediately led the way with a bright smile.
Zephyr followed suit as well.
When they got to the rooftop restaurant, the servant brought them to the Premium Room.
“We’re here, Ms. Garcia, feel free to enter.”
Neera nodded her head and said her thanks. She then glanced at Zephyr.
Zephyr’s expression was as stoic as always, and assumed the role of door guard without asking.
“Go in, Ms. Garcia. I’ll keep watch outside. You can always call me if you need anything.”
Neera nodded her head. She knocked on the door politely and went in.
She then saw a mixed-race man sat in a poised matter in the middle of the room.
The man had a wide yet delicate face, his features were striking and profound. He had a beautifully sculpted face, just like a model’s. Handsome and full of machismo.
His aura was outstanding, and had a high-ranking attitude, yet he looked relaxed and elegant. He was obviously a nobleman.
Beside him, there was another young man in a suit. He was wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses. He had the demeanor of an assistant.
After Neera sized them up, she politely greeted them.
“Hello, I’m Neera Garcia, I’m here upon invitation.”
After she introduced herself, she looked at the mixed-race man and said: “You must be Satan, Uncle Chad’s friend?”
The man smiled, and stood up courteously. “Yes, that’s me. My actual name is Avery Cox. It’s nice to meet you, Ms. Garcia.”
She shook hands with him. “It’s nice to meet you too, Mr. Cox.”
Avery had also sized her up as soon as she walked in. Now that he held her hand, his eyebrows slightly raised in amusement.
The woman in front of him was beautiful and charismatic. Streets say that she was quite the capable lady too.
It seems that Chad’s taste was quite remarkable.
It wasn’t a bad idea at all to have her be his successor.
As soon as their hands touched each other’s, he smiled and said: “I’ve taken the liberty to invite you to dinner before we’ve even acquainted with each other, I hope you don’t find it too sudden or rude.”
Neera shrugged it off cordially. “I’m just curious as to why you’ve invited me tonight. Since Uncle Chad isn’t here either.”
Avery nodded casually.
“I know that Uncle Chad had already gone on a retreat with his lover already.”
Neera was a little shocked to find that he also referred to Chad as ‘uncle’ as well.
“Oh, you’re not his client then?” She hesitated before asking.
Avery gestured her to have a seat, and smiled. “Yes, the Cox family and the Gordon family have been friends for decades. I happened to be here on some matters, and met up with Uncle Chad. He mentioned about you, so I thought of taking the opportunity to meet you.” He said as he poured her a cup of tea.
“Coincidentally, I heard that you were looking for someone the past few days, so I did you a bit of a favor.”
Before Neera could react, Avery passed his phone to her.
She was a bit confused at her, but then she saw the photo on the screen.
It was a photo of Thora!
Neera was puzzled. She stared into the screen attentively, then looked up at Avery/
“You found her?”
Avery confirmed as he took back his phone.
“Yes. However, she’s still unconscious. So it’s inconvenient to bring her here. But I’ve already gotten someone to bring her to a hospital.”
Neera nodded.
Even though she didn’t know how he managed to locate Thora, nor did she know why he would do her such a favor, she still wanted to express her gratitude.
“You’ve done me a huge favor, Mr. Cox. I can’t thank you enough.”
Avery waved his hand. “It’s nothing, so you don’t have to be so polite, Ms. Garcia. It’s my honor getting to help you.”
Since he had already helped her as soon as they met, Neera willingly accompanied him for dinner…
