face–you’re plowing
“oh?” Noah’s eyes narrowed teasingly. “Someone’s feeling proud. Look at that fa
Sean’s expression softened. “Well, she is my girl.”
-you’re glowing like a dad whose kid just won a spelling bee.”
Noah replied casually, “Wonder what those two old guys are chatting about. They look like they’re having a great time
The soft affection in Sean’s face disappeared the moment the words left Noah’s mouth.
He handed his golf club to the caddy and started walking in their direction
“Hey–where are you going?” Noah asked, quickly following after him.
Sean’s tone was flat, his expression cool. “To talk business.”
“Business?” Noah looked puzzled, “With who?”
He looked ahead and spotted the three people laughing happily. It clicked immediately.
Sean was jealous. He couldn’t stand watching those two old men hovering around Charlotte. Now he was heading over to give them something else to focus on. No way he was letting that slide.
Noah Laughed to himself. After holding back for so long, Sean was finally losing his cool
Sean came to a stop right in front of Charlotte. The sunlight cast a faint shadow around him.
Standing in that shadow, Charlotte looked up. He was wearing a dark gray yathletic outfit today–clean, understated, and cool as ever.
“Why is he here again?” she wondered with a frown
Galus was confused too. The CEO of ja
Jasper Corporation was notoriously hard to approach. Even when they met face–to–face, Sean was usually cold and dismissive,
So why had become over twice now? Had he hit his head or something?” Gaius wondered.
Hands in his pockets, Sean looked completely casual, his tone light and indifferent.
“Mr. Lloyd, if I remember right, didn’t you mention wanting to partner with our Starlight Hotely?”
Starlight Hotels was one of Jasper Corporation’s luxury hotel brands.
The moment Galus heard Sean bring it up, he straightened, all smiles.
“Yes, absolutely, Mr. Jasper T1 Corporation’s been hoping to collaborate with Starlight Hotels for a while now. We talked about it briefly at that gala a while back. You said you were busy at the time and suggested we talk later Well–no time like the present.”
He glanced at his watch and beamed.
“it’s nearly lunchtime. How about this–I book a restaurant, and we can talk more over a meal?
Sean’s gaze flicked briefly to Charlotte, then back again, unreadable. His voice was cold and clipped. “Fine”
Calus was
thrilled.
Sensing the shift, Tim quickly stepped in.
“Well then, Mr. Jasper, Mr. Lloyd, we’ll leave you to it. Charlotte and I will head out first. Mr. Lloyd, we can finalize the contract details another time.” Charlotte had been silently staring at Sean’s shadow on the ground, lost in thought. When she heard they were about to leave, she blinked and came back to her senses, getting ready to walk a away with Tim.
Galus nodded.
sgood. Mr. Long, I’ll see you tomorrow alternoon to finalize everything. Since I lost the bet to Miss Riley, I intend to honor my word. I’m a man of Integrity.”
In truth, dalus had said that deliberately for Sean’s bene. If he wanted a shot at partnering with Starlight Hotels, he needed to leave a good impression.
Scandidu’t care about any of that
The only thing beltered was that Charlotte was about to leave.
Histone was casual, entotionless on the surface–like he really didn’t care at all.
“Slore you came together,” he wild casually, “why not stay for lunch?”
