Sean was amused by her.
"I haven't committed any crime, no worries. I'm not afraid," Sean said with a chuckle, pinching her hand.
Abigail looked up at him. Her demeanor seemed somewhat naive yet endearing.
"What's up?" Sean's gaze deepened.
It was rare for Abigail to show this side. In the early days of their marriage, she often had such expressions; back then, she was unguarded and overly compliant.
Only now did Sean realize that it had been many years since he last saw her unguarded side.
"Nothing," Abigail softly replied.
Businesspeople always feel apprehensive when they encounter officials, worrying about whether they have done something wrong.
The next noon, Sean invited Kadrick to a moderately priced restaurant where a meal wouldn't exceed a thousand dollars, considering the other party's status.
When Kadrick arrived, he brought along a fair-skinned, beautiful girl.
The girl wore a beret, her long hair styled in big waves, and her entire outfit exuded a youthful, vibrant Chanel vibe.
"This is my niece, Callen Hinton. Callen, this is the legendary figure I told you about, Sean Graham," Kadrick was exceptionally polite.
Callen extended her hand to Sean with undeniable admiration in her eyes. "Hello, Mr. Graham. May I call you that?"
Sean was reluctant to shake her hand, but considering Kadrick's significant status, he still reached out, lightly touching Callen's fingers before quickly letting go.
"That's fine."
After speaking curtly, he turned to Kadrick. "Mr. Hinton, what can I do for you?"
"It's not about the case; it's just that my niece here needs your help," Kadrick said with a smile, sitting down.
Sean pulled out a chair and sat down.
Callen placed her LV bag on the adjacent chair, took out a tablet and pen, and looked at him expectantly. "Your experiences are truly fascinating, Mr. Graham. I want to adapt your story into a drama."
"Callen is a rising scriptwriter, Slow Melody Serenade. You must have heard of her, right?" Kadrick said, his eyes filled with pride.
Sean, not much of a drama watcher, was unaware.
