Chapter 1092
Jared felt nothing but disdain for the two men and the nature of the conversation they were engaging in, and strode
off without excusing himself.
When Henry turned around to speak to him, he was already gone.
"Jared, how is your grandfather holding up?" Daniel asked, as the two men had huddled themselves at a quiet
corner of the hall.
"I was informed that he has regained consciousness."
"Yeah, he is recovering.As of recent, he has begun to sit up."
Jared looked at Daniel, thankful for his concern.
"That's great!"
Daniel beamed.
"Your grandfather has always been a strong and healthy person, so I do not doubt that he is having a speedy
recovery."
"Yeah."
"Dad, what are you guys talking about?"
Nicole walked over as she noticed Jared and Daniel together.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Ah, we were just talking about Jared's grandpa," Daniel replied, before turning his attention back to Jared again.
"Jared, please, do come over for a visit whenever you're free."
It had been sometime since Daniel had a meal with Jared and the family. He had little to no clue about how the rest
of them were doing in life.
"Sure.I'll come over when I have time," Jared said.
"Nicole, is your mom over there?" Daniel asked.
"Yeah, right behind that pillar." Nicole pointed.
"Alright.I'll go over and check on her."
He stood up and made his way to Gloria.
"The both of you can carry on."
"Jared, what are you doing here?"
Henry walked up to the pair with a glass of wine in hand.
"I was looking for you.Ah, you're here too, Nicole."
"Henry," Nicole replied with a nod and a smile.
Henry then looked at his nephew.
"Jared, I've never had the chance to ask you about Martin's project, which you have been investing in.How is it
going? Now that we're here, we can talk about it for a bit."
"It has been running without a hitch.The products were all mass- produced and the sales were pretty good," Jared
informed.
"Oh.But I was told that their products are not well-received in the market.According to the data, a lot of people are
still not able to afford the product,"Henry argued.
Henry kept his eyes on Jared after he had said his peace.He was awaiting Jared's response.
If his nephew couldn't offer him a satisfactory explanation, Henry would do what he deemed was necessary.
"The price is definitely on the higher end of the spectrum as of now.This is because the cost of raw materials have
been skyrocketing.When the cost returns to its previous market value in the foreseeable future, the price of our
products shall be re- adjusted to be more economical.When that happens, more orders will be coming in, one after
another," Jared said, confident in his projections.
"What you said makes sense.I'll be looking forward to seeing the good news in the next quarterly report," Henry
replied, implying that if sales did not improve by the next quarter of the year, he would have to withdraw from the
project.
Jared could only put up with his antics, as he was dealing with a person who was short-sighted and utterly incapable
of thinking past short-term gains.
If Jared was now still the person he was years ago, he would have foregone the conversation and shooed Henry
away.It was then that music began to fill the room.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHenry brought Chloe to the middle of the hall, bobbing and weaving to the rhythm.
Soon, the pair began to dance with everyone in the hall watching them.
Chloe swayed and twirled in a surprising display of grace in Henry's arms, but she would dart her eyes at Jared from
time to time.
After the first song had ended, members of the crowd brought their partners to the floor, joining Henry and Chloe.
Jared followed by leading Nicole to the dance floor, on which they proceeded to cut a rug like a pair of professional
terpsichorean.
With dapper suits and silken gowns paired with songs and dances, the event went into full swing, as the hall erupted
into a dazzling display of glamour and beauty.
Everyone present became even more appealing, as they danced the night away.
After a few sessions, Nicole pulled Jared off to the side.
"Let's catch a break for a while and watch them."
Indeed, Nicole did not wish to embarrass herself in front of others any longer.She felt that, while the people in the
crowd were envied by many, they were also clowns in the eyes of many others.
Out of the blue, a person walked up to Henry and whispered something into his ear.
Soon after, he hurried out and left Chloe in the room all by herself.
"Wait, what just happened? What made him skedaddle?"
Nicole queried as she watched Henry hightailing it from the premise.
