Philip shrugged but said nothing.
Cynthia continued, “Perhaps everyone in the world thinks that Clarke Group is very rich and holds a capital flow of more than 100 billion, but in Capital City, there are many families better than them.”
Philip smiled and said, “Cynthia, why are you saying this to me? I’m just an ordinary guy, not the young master you’re talking about.”
This woman was very smart. She had guessed it.
Cynthia did not say anything else.
Right at this moment…
“Cynthia Larson, you’re here too?”
Suddenly, a noble and handsome man in the restaurant appeared in front of Cynthia and Philip. He looked at her with a grin.
This handsome man wore a suit and looked quite decent.
Philip was drinking coffee when he was suddenly disturbed. Naturally, he was a little unhappy. He glanced around casually and found that the other person was looking at Cynthia with desire in his eyes.
Philip frowned and glanced at Cynthia. He found that she had already stood up and was saying with a polite smile, “Mr. Fadden, what a coincidence.”
That person laughed and said, “I came here for dinner with a few friends, but I didn’t expect to meet you too. It’s so fortunate.”
After that, the Fadden guy turned to look at Philip and asked, “And this is?”
Cynthia quickly introduced. “Oh, this is my friend, Philip Clarke.”
“How do you do, Mr. Fadden.”
Philip was not an impolite person, so he smiled and waved.
Fadden’s eyes suddenly turned grim. He had already seen Cynthia and Philip talking and laughing on the other side. Their relationship was definitely more than just friends!
He had not heard any news of Cynthia having a new boyfriend, so who was this guy?
Fadden was very upset, but he could not show it. His purpose tonight was very clear, to woo Cynthia and fulfill the bet!
Therefore, he just smiled faintly, pulled a chair over, and sat down. He leaned close to Cynthia and said, “Cynthia, I have a few friends over there who are also in the hotel industry. They heard that you’re the lobby manager of Shangri-La and want to meet you. How about it? Are you interested in making a few friends?”
Everyone held the anticipation of a good show and was ready to watch the next plot development!
Chad seemed to deliberately ignore Philip’s words but just glared at him. He continued to talk to Cynthia with a smile, “Cynthia, it’s okay, just have a few drinks. Everyone wants to make more friends.”
Cynthia was helpless and could only say timidly, “Mr. Fadden, I’m really sorry. I’m not very good with words. It’ll just be embarrassing. Let’s do it another time.”
“Don’t be like this, Cynthia. They’re just in the next room. After two drinks, I’ll bring you back. It’s okay,” Chad spoke.
“Hey, didn’t you hear that she’s unwilling? Why are you still pestering her? What do you want?”
Philip stood up at this time and pulled Cynthia to his side.
After all, she belonged to the Larson family of Fernvale and had ties to him. Philip could not just sit back and watch.
Initially, Chad wanted to ignore Philip.
However, this man interrupted him time and again, so he was angry now!
