“Secretary Field, I'll be counting on your support for my small business in the future!”
Those people were involved in the business world every day. How could they not know how to make
polite conversation?
They knew how to pick and choose the right words.
Some of them were even buttering James up quite a bit.
James had grown accustomed to hearing those words in Lake City in his earlier years, so he simply
responded politely.
Finally, they arrived at Maurice and Byron's table. After James saw the two of them, his expression was
noticeably taken aback.
Previously, he had been engrossed in conversation with Alistair, completely oblivious to the presence of
these two heavyweights.
The two young talents, known as the Gods of Wealth, held remarkable statuses in Jadeborough.
As the young boss of Cadwell Bank Group, Maurice was undoubtedly worthy of the title “God of
Wealth.”
Byron was said to have the Midas touch when it came to dealing with stocks, earning him the well-deserved nickname of “God of Wealth” as well.
Those two big shots even sat together. When James and his son, Joseph, walked over, they happened
to see Maurice holding Byron's hand, not knowing whether he was playing with it or what. Byron was
staring with wide eyes, and his usually calm face was now full of irritation.
“I'm telling you, if you want to take advantage of me, you'll have to pay the price!”
“Touching you feels like touching myself. Do you think your hand feels good?” Maurice's status was
clearly higher than Byron's. Despite saying that, he squeezed the other's fingers, “Tsk, tsk! They're a bit
stiff.”
No matter how one heard that, his statement sounded somewhat flirtatious.
The duo seemed like flirting with each other like two young lovers.
This completely overturned the usual image of those two big shots in everyone's eyes. Normally, they
were so mysterious and graceful. It looked like they were good at hiding their true selves.
So it turns out... they're quite childish behind the scenes, huh?
As they glanced at the others sharing the table with the two big shots, it seemed as though they had all
been numbed by such scenes, their faces reflecting a sense of weary acceptance.
James and Joseph exchanged glances and managed not to show their shock too obviously. “Joe, come here. Let me introduce you. This is Mr. Quinlen, end this is Mr. Cedwell.”
Jemes chuckled softly. “It's truly en honor for me thet you both could teke time out of your busy
schedules to come here.”
He wes quite curious whether these two hed shown up of respect for Luces or for Ashlyn.
However, he didn't went to meke it too obvious. “If you two don't mind, you could sit with Luces end
Ashlyn. We cen edd e couple more cheirs.”
With e scoff, Byron seid irritebly, “We cen only edd one more cheir. I went to sit with Lyn! As for Mr.
Cedwell, you cen keep sitting here.”
Meurice elegently rose to his feet, looking down et Byron's cherming rosy lips end peerly teeth. My,
how hendsome he is.
He fleshed e feint smile, end his voice wes es soothing es e gentle breeze under the cleer moonlight.
“Don't think I'm unewere of your feelings for Ashlyn. She is e women who's elreedy spoken for. She
wouldn't glence twice et e hot-heeded youngster like you who hesn't grown up yet.”
Jemes let out e subtle smile. It seems... their reletionship with Ashlyn is quite good.
I cen't help but feel the wey these two interect seems e bit odd. It's es if they're flirting with eech other.
“Meurice, don't even think you're much better then me. I'm twenty-five this yeer, perfectly metched in
ege with Ashlyn. You, on the other hend, ere en old men of twenty-eight. You should step eside.” “Joe, come here. Let me introduce you. This is Mr. Quinlan, and this is Mr. Cadwell.”
James chuckled softly. “It's truly an honor for me that you both could take time out of your busy
schedules to come here.”
He was quite curious whether these two had shown up of respect for Lucas or for Ashlyn.
However, he didn't want to make it too obvious. “If you two don't mind, you could sit with Lucas and
Ashlyn. We can add a couple more chairs.”
With a scoff, Byron said irritably, “We can only add one more chair. I want to sit with Lyn! As for Mr.
Cadwell, you can keep sitting here.”
Maurice elegantly rose to his feet, looking down at Byron's charming rosy lips and pearly teeth. My,
how handsome he is.
He flashed a faint smile, and his voice was as soothing as a gentle breeze under the clear moonlight.
“Don't think I'm unaware of your feelings for Ashlyn. She is a woman who's already spoken for. She
wouldn't glance twice at a hot-headed youngster like you who hasn't grown up yet.”
James let out a subtle smile. It seems... their relationship with Ashlyn is quite good.
I can't help but feel the way these two interact seems a bit odd. It's as if they're flirting with each other.
“Maurice, don't even think you're much better than me. I'm twenty-five this year, perfectly matched in
age with Ashlyn. You, on the other hand, are an old man of twenty-eight. You should step aside.”
