At noon the next day. 1
Charlie and Claire went to the Maple Hotel by car.
The Maple Hotel was not the most expensive in Aurous Hill, but it was among the most exclusive and luxurious in town, indicating Douglas's sincerity in treating them. 5
In fact, he spent quite lavishly on this meal as he had booked the premium dining suite in the hotel. It was luxuriously decorated and was spacious enough to accommodate twenty people with the minimum spending of seven to eight thousand dollars. 2
Many people had already arrived in the suite when Charlie and Claire arrived. Besides Douglas and Doreen, there were also a few college mates.
Doreen hadn't had a good time lately. 1
She had come to Aurous Hill from Eastcliff for some time now for the main purpose of getting to know the chairman of Emgrand Group. However, she had never had a chance to even see the man himself after working for so long in the company. 3
Moreover, although she had gotten to stay in the office when she was the administrative director, after she was transferred to the sales department, she had spent less and less time in the office which critically reduced her chances of meeting the chairman. 6
However, she had stumbled into another dilemma now. She had been obsessed with the mysterious man ever since she was rescued by him the other day. If truth be told, she even felt as though she had fallen in love with him at first sight. Hence, her desire to meet the chairman was not as great as before, and on the contrary, she was more eager to meet her savior. 3
Yet, she would never have guessed that the chairman o f Emgrand Group and her mysterious savior was actually the same guy-Charlie. 2
As Charlie and Claire walked into the suite, Douglas rose to his feet quickly and greeted them, "Hey, buddy! Claire! Welcome! Come, have a seat." 1
Douglas greeted the couple very respectfully. His heart brimmed with admiration and appreciation toward this good buddy of his.
