Chapter 1629
"Mr. Wyance, it has been a while." Stanley walked up to Martin and greeted him.
Martin nodded. "Yeah, it has indeed been some time."
After shaking hands with Stanley, Martin saw Tia standing next to him and could not help but be taken aback.
Martin had only met Tia a few times, but this time, she had become Stanley's companion, and was so elegantly
dressed that the sight had managed to even stun him.
When Kelly noticed that, she elbowed him. "What are you doing, staring at another man's companion like that?"
It was only then that Martin snapped back to reality as he quickly said, "It's nothing. I just feel that Tia looks really
beautiful today."
Tia immediately blushed a little when she heard that." Thank... thank you..."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNicole looked at Martin and swirled her wine glass. "What's with the smooth talk today?"
In the past, Martin would never have said such things to women. So, Nicole could not help herself from giving the
two a strange glance.
Finding himself in an awkward position, Martin said, "No such thing. I always have been a smooth operator."
The few were chatting when they saw Harvey walking in from the entrance.
After all, Harvey had business with the Riddle Corporation, so it made sense that he would definitely attend the
annual meeting of the Riddle Corporation.
However, he did not even look at Nicole as he went straight to Sean after stepping into the venue.
When Nicole noticed that, she breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he had finally gotten her words into his head.
Yet, for all she knew, the moment she turned around to take a seat, Harvey immediately cast his gaze over to her.
He had only known how he had been in the past few days. He had been absent since the start of the semester and
thought that Nicole would be somewhat concerned about him. Yet, she had not even given him a call.
When he finally realized that he had no place in a certain someone's heart, that feeling drove him crazy.
Sean felt uneasy looking at his gaze. "Mr. Ellison, what are you looking at?"
Harvey shifted his gaze as he smiled self-deprecatingly. " Nothing."
His smile was still warm and courteous, but Sean could register a certain darkness in Harvey's eyes.
For a long time, he had felt that Harvey was not as simple as he turned out to be, and he had always felt that there
was a storm brewing under his humble and polite facade. It was only because he was often with Nicole that this
inexplicable darkness could not be felt. But in that instant, he could see a beast in Harvey's eyes, rearing to break
out of its cage. That feeling made Sean perturbed.
"Now that the Riddle Corporation is hot and blooming, I suppose you can look forward to a promotion soon, Mr.
Sean," Harvey commented
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHarvey had already gotten wind of how prominent Daniel and Sean had been in the Riddle Corporation of late, and
he felt that this year's annual meeting would not be that simple.
Sean flashed him a light smirk before he politely replied," That's up to Grandpa. I just make sure that I do a good
job."
He was no Harvey Ellison but he had heard, by chance, that Harvey had done many things behind Mr. Ellison's
back...
Harvey let out a coy smile. "I'm impressed by your levelheadedness, Mr. Sean. Please remember to buy me a drink
when you've snagged that promotion."
"Sure." Sean nodded.
Harvey could see Sean's subtle dismissal of him, so he turned to look elsewhere. "Excuse me then."
After that, Harvey walked off to greet Mr. Riddle Sr.
Sean could not help but to glance at Harvey a few more times. He felt that Harvey had returned to his previous
state of inscrutability, and that the darkness he had always carried was even more pronounced than before.
