"Don't be a stranger, Mr. Baxter. Here! Come inside!" George said.
Then, he yelled toward the living room, "Honey, Mr. Baxter is here! Prepare some coffee for him."
When Courtney realized Shaun had arrived, she was as excited as George. She hurriedly got up and looked at Shaun with a huge smile.
"Welcome, Mr. Baxter. Hurry up and take a seat! I'll make you some coffee right now," she said.
Shaun chuckled and said, "Mrs. Weiss, there's no need for that. I'm just here for a visit, and I wanted to see Audrey while I'm here."
When George and Courtney heard that, they were stunned. After all, he was calling Audrey intimately.
Meanwhile, Audrey was sitting on the couch coldly.
George hurriedly said, "Audrey, what are you doing? Didn't you see that Mr. Baxter is here? Get up now and go entertain him!"
She sighed softly and slowly got up. Then, she looked at Shaun and muttered, "Please have a seat, Mr. Baxter."
When Shaun heard that, he said with a chuckle, "Please drop the formalities, everyone. We're all close friends here."
George liked that. It made them appear like they were close.
He looked at Shaun and smiled. "Mr. Baxter, Audrey's feeling way better now, and it's all thanks to Mr. Greene and the Baxter family's help. Otherwise, we really wouldn't know what to do! Thank you, Mr. Baxter! Thank you very much!"
