Joshua stood at the hotel entrance in his black suit and appeared to be on the phone with someone.
Alice, standing next to him, looked serene and captivating in her sparkling, navy blue dress.
Luna looked away from them and felt a sudden twinge of pain shoot through her heart.
“Luna?“ Theo’s questioning voice rang out. Luna immediately came to and realized that the elevator door before her had already opened.
She exhaled and hastily entered the elevator as though running away from something.
“This Mr. and Mrs. Allen that you’re meeting with seem like strange people. “ Alice pursed her lips in indignation. “They’d already decided to send one of their subordinates to meet with us on their behalf, but they oh -so suddenly changed their minds and decided to come themselves.
“They agreed to meet at Bamboo Palace, and I even went all out and decorated the entire place to welcome them, but they changed the venue at the last minute. Don’t you think they’re a little stuck-up? It’s not like they’re the only people that can provide the specific kind of special ore we’re looking for.“
Joshua hung up the phone indifferently. “Maybe Mr. and Mrs. Allen changed the venue due to private matters.“
Alice rolled her eyes. “Haven’t they been living overseas for a long time now? What kind of private matters would they have to attend to here in Banyan City?“
Joshua did not answer and instead strode toward the elevator, appearing unconcerned. “Well, you’ll know soon enough.“
Joshua had just found out the vendor that would be providing Lynch Group with the precious ore they needed…was Theo’s family business.
This would be interesting.
“Dad, Mom, this is Luna.“
As soon as they arrived at the booth upstairs, Theo smilingly introduced Luna to his parents.
