Upon hearing this, Baron Stuart furrowed his eyebrows.
“Alright, it’s not actually Rylee, but she and her fiance are both going to act in a new play soon, and they haven’t been able to find an investor. So… she wants to talk to soone with deep pockets like you.”
Since Rylee and Baron Stuart had a delicate relationship previously, it wasn’t appropriate for Rosanne Nichols to approach him directly. That’s why she asked Leonardo to be the interdiary, just in case any awkward situations were to arise.
As Leonardo finished speaking, the private room door was pushed open in the next second.
Observing the man and woman entering the room, Baron Stuart slightly furrowed his eyebrows, maintaining a calm deanor.
The mont the two sat down, a burst of cellphone ringtone sounded.
Baron Stuart took out his cell phone and looked at the caller ID, his eyebrows involuntarily furrowing.
Without any hesitation, he decisively pressed the reject button.
anwhile, sitting in her car, Camila Walker stared at her discarded call, her face a mix of disbelief. Was Baron Stuart ignoring her phone call now?
Biting her lip, she stubbornly dialed his number again.
But, the outco remained the sa.
Seeing Camila’s repeated calls, Baron Stuart ended up coldly pressing the reject button.
Camila clenched her cell phone tightly, her joints turning white. Did he hate her so much that he wouldn’t answer her calls?
She refused to accept it! She couldn’t!
Elsewhere, Adrian Nash drove his Bugatti and was actually heading to a nearby cafe.
Suddenly, he had an epiphany and recalled an event.
“Ah,” he whispered, his expression sowhat troubled.
Emily Walker, who was in the passenger seat, turned her head upon hearing him and seed to sense his distress. Frowning, she asked, “What’s wrong?”
Adrian glanced at her, appearing rather embarrassed. After a bit of contemplation, he took out a small paper bag from the side of the seat, one hand on the steering wheel and the other holding it up for her to see.
“I just bought this little gift.’
Looking at the exquisitely wrapped gift box, Emily remained puzzled and continued to watch him, still not understanding.
Adrian, feeling sowhat annoyed, furrowed his brows and wore a troubled expression. “What should I do? It’s rare that you invited for afternoon tea, but I have to attend a friend’s gathering today.”
He had been back in the country for a while now, and due to his busy workload, he had never had the chance to catch up with so friends. That’s why they had been bugging him for presents.
He went to the shopping mall just to buy those gifts.
Upon hearing this, Emily paused for a mont before expressing her understanding of his predicant. “How about I treat you another day, then?” After all, it’s just afternoon tea, and she could invite him anyti.
However, Adrian didn’t want to postpone it at all. After all, it was so difficult for him to see her even once now, and today’s opportunity was hard to co by. He didn’t want to postpone it.
After so pondering, Adrian turned his head and looked at her, suddenly suggesting, “How about… you co with ?”
‘ Emily was stunned.
Go with him? To a friend’s gathering?
“Err, that might not be appropriate…” She didn’t know any of his friends, so what would she do there?
Moreover, she didn’t want to go. “Let ask you out for afternoon tea so other day. Today… you just go ahead and get busy.”
Glancing at the ti, it was already past four o’clock, and it was about ti to head back.
Seeing her refusal, Adrian’s face showed disappointnt.. Pressing his thin lips together, he said, “Let’s go, it’s still afternoon tea you’re inviting for, right? What does it matter where we have it? At worst, you cover the tea expenses, right?”
