At the White Mansion.
When Xander got into his car, he was surprised to see his brother Carter sitting beside Jones, his driver.
"Why did you take my car?" Xander frowned.
pαndα`noνɐ1--сoМ Carter gulped. He caught a glimpse of his brother in the backseat; his brother looked perfect in his gray suit with jet-black hair slicked back. He looks flawless as usual.
Even though Carter often saw Xander looking dashing like this, he still felt jealous. God gives too much perfection to his brother.
He turned his gaze quickly to the front when Xander's displeased eyes stared at him.
Carter cleared his throat. "B-Big Brother, it's more efficient for us to use one car." He awkwardly smiled before continuing his reassuring words, "...to save the earth! You know, we use so much fossil fuel if we use two cars, right?"
He flashed his cute yet charming smile at his brother to convince him not to kick him out of the car. Well, it's not that he doesn't have a car, but riding a car with his brother always makes him feel proud and can boost his self-confidence.
Xander slowly shook his head at Carter's ridiculous excuse. He turned his gaze to his driver, "Jones, we might be late if you don't move now!" He said, ignoring Carter, who still flashed his smile.
"Don't worry, brother, we still have thirty minutes..." Carter said.
"You must tell about this sudden private eting!" Xander looked at Carter again. This ti he didn't show any emotion. But his cold tone could make Carter freeze in his seat.
"Well, to be honest, I didn't expect him to accept my request either. Two hours ago, I just received word from his secretary."
Xander didn't say a word, but his gaze was clearly displeased to see Carter.
"B-Brother, you must complint that I managed to get this appointnt before dinner started..." Carter paused to wait for praise from his brother.
One second passed... Two seconds... Five seconds... Up to twenty seconds, nothing happened. His facial expression remained the sa, flat. It was as if the man sitting behind was not a human but a statue.
'Tsk! This man is so hard to please!!' Carter could only scold his brother in his heart.
He felt sorry for his future sister-in-law. That woman could die in anger if she married a man like his brother, who was very stingy about showing his expression.
His brother's aura always looks dark and cold. Sotis, Carter wondered if his brother was a demon lord disguised as a human.
Carter sat up straight as he continued, "...Mr. Olson only gave us a quarter of an hour to discuss the script we offered him. Said he was interested in the script, but sothing was bothering him, and he wanted to discuss it with us first. So bro... I hope you can convince him this ti!"
"Is it still needed? Didn't he want to take the script if RAS did the Visual effects and CGI?"
"I know we haven't had any results with RAS as of today, but Mr. Harvey Olson said he will try to convince RAS to accept our script..."
Xander's eyes suddenly lit up. If Mr. Harvey Olson helps them convince Red Animation Studio, then ninety percent chance this project will start soon. Suddenly he felt excited about this progress.
As Xander heads to the Riley Hotel, Scarlett and the others enter a small hall and encounter Harvey Olson.
"Girl, you finally ca!!" Harvey Olson's voice echoed around the room, followed by a happy laugh as he saw Scarlett enter the room.
Harvey was amazed that Scarlett still looked the sa after the last few months they had t. She looked stunning in her formal attire; Her white shirt was tucked into her tight black trousers. On top of the shirt, she's wearing an unbuttoned oversized black blazer.
"Grandpa!"
"Stop calling that!! I'm too young to be called Grandpa!!" he snorted.
"Hahaha... all right, uncle!"
"That's perfect!!" Harvey Olson's smile widened. He opened his arms to hug her.
"Sorry, Uncle, for being late." She threw herself into his arms. After a short embrace, she stepped back and surveyed the old man in front of him. "Oh my! Uncle, why do you look so old? Can you pay attention to your health?"
Scarlett felt sorry for how thin and pale his face was. His gray hair was long and ssy. His beard and mustache also looked unkempt. He looked like soone who had just returned from an expedition in the wilderness — only his black suit from a famous brand made him look different.
Harvey Olson didn't answer but motioned for Scarlett to sit across from him. "Girl, you look beautiful as usual... It looks like a month's vacation made you fresher!"
"Indeed! That's why Uncle, you also need a vacation... A month off without thinking of your work. I can guarantee you'll be as fresh as ..." Scarlett laughed when she saw the old man shaking his head.
She knew this old man was very busy. He hadn't taken a vacation in the past few years. He was too busy filming non-stop.
When Scarlett saw Dina Smith, Harvey Olson's secretary entered the room with two cups in hand, she smiled. "Dina, you have to take care of your boss. How can he look so old like this?"
"Miss Scarlett, don't bla . My boss, don't ever hear again..." Dina rolled her eyes as she served them tea.
"Uncle, you should listen to Dina. She knows what's best for you..." Scarlett likes Dina because she is sincere in helping Uncle Harvey, who lives alone.
"Miss Scarlett, it's useless. He will never hear ... I have made many appointnts with the stylist, but he always refuses." Dina's words to Scarlett left Harvey speechless.
"Dina, go check the party venue..." Harvey told Dina to leave. She's too noisy.
"Hahaha, Uncle!! You are so heartless to Dina. Be gentler with her. Or no one will take care of you when you're old!" Scarlett could only laugh at the relationship between Uncle Harvey and Dina. They look like they are always fighting but actually care about each other.
