In the VIP room of the Splendor Hotel, Tobias and Gia finally met the CEO, Aurelia, who was adorned in a luxurious
dress and gold accessories. Aurelia’s sophisticated and beautiful face was still visible, even with her sunglasses on.
Tobias couldn’t help but admire her from a distance. As a regular man, he knew he could never get close to such a
stunning woman, especially with her black-suited bodyguards surrounding her.
A middle-aged man wearing sunglasses was beside her. He seemed familiar to Tobias.
Neil spoke firmly, crossing his arms. “Mr. Chambers, is there something on my face? You seem to be looking at
me.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Oh, no, no!” Tobias quickly put on a fawning smile. “I was just thinking… You look remarkably familiar. Have we
met before? Oh yes, you resemble a famous actor!”
“Really?” Neil deepened his voice with a clear tone. “Do you think I might be even taller and more good-looking
than that actor?”
“Absolutely! You are,” Tobias quickly agreed.
Aurelia cleared her throat and raised her chin arrogantly.
Neil immediately introduced her as the CEO of their company and his interpreter.
“Oh, Ms. Sunny!” Tobias got up to shake her hand, but she ignored him and sipped her floral tea.
Neil rolled his eyes discreetly, annoyed by Tobias’ behavior and blaming his nephew, Zuko, for putting him through
this.
Aurelia, however, surprised Tobias and Gia by speaking fluently in Chaisene and the local dialect of Southeast
Aciatic.
Neil chuckled and handed an agreement to Tobias, mentioning it was the rough collaboration proposal.
Tobias studied the agreement carefully and realized that the conditions were greatly beneficial to him, even
including a house for him.
Gia was ecstatic about this development. She had warned him about potential fraud earlier but was more eager
than ever to proceed now.
Tobias teased her, “Remember how you didn’t trust them? Look at the detailed agreement they’ve presented!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGia pretended to be impressed and urged him to sign quickly, reminding him about the house for her parents.
However, just as Tobias was about to sign, Neil interrupted him. “Wait, Mr. Chambers.”
Confused, Tobias asked, “What’s wrong?”
Neil explained, “Our CEO has a few questions that require your honest answers. Since we’ll be partners, I’m sure
you won’t hide anything from us, right?”
Gia encouraged Tobias to be truthful, saying they had a valuable buyer now, and he shouldn’t miss this opportunity.
Neil listened attentively to Aurelia’s questions, then bowed respectfully before moving behind Tobias and Gia.
He then addressed them, “Our CEO wants to know if the trade is illegal.”
