James did not drink much or be very talkative at the dinner party. He was not in a high spirit.
Originally, he wanted Samuel to attend the dinner party for him. But considering that Samuel had attended quite a few dinner parties for him recently, and he had an ill mother at home, so he went here himself.
He didn't like such a dinner party. He waited for almost an hour for his business partners to arrive. In addition, when he was waiting for them, he called Elizabeth, but he didn't get through to her. He called home but was told that she hadn't come back yet. He was in a bad mood at the moment. But he had no choice but to stay here because he had to run his business.
"Mr. Lu, let me propose a toast to you again!" The person who spoke was Mr. Du, his business partner. "There is heavy traffic on the road, and it suddenly rains so hard. I'm sorry to keep you waiting for a long time."
James was wearing the most simple white shirt. He sat in his seat and did not move. He only looked up at Mr. Du with a faint smile. Heavy traffic? Rain? Why didn't he set out earlier?
When Mr. Du's expression changed a little, James picked up the glass and said blandly, "Never mind."
Then they began to eat and drink as usual. Mr. Du would say some dirty jokes to liven up the atmosphere from time to from.
James didn't like such jokes, but he listened to them patiently. He would meet all kinds of people at the dinner party, and he couldn't ask each of them to be graceful.
Halfway through the meal, his phone rang. Looking at the caller ID, he frowned, and then hung up without thinking.
But the one kept calling him. It seemed that it wouldn't give up until he answered the phone.
"Sorry, I have to go out to answer a phone call."
Out of the private room, James stood in the corridor, raised his eyebrows, and answered the phone, "What's wrong?"
"Jimmy, are you with Xavier now?" Zena asked softly.
James snorted and said blandly, "No."
"Do you know where he is?"
"He's your man. Since you don't even know where he is, how could I know?"
Hearing his sarcastic words, Zena was a little embarrassed and explained, "No, it's so late now and he hasn't come back. I called him, but..."
James said in a cold voice, "As I said, we'd better not keep in touch in the future. So, don't call me again because of these things, Zena." Then he hung up the phone.
He smoked a cigarette outside irritably before he turned to walk to the private room. However, when he just walked to the door, his phone rang He thought it was Zena who called him again. Just as he was about to hang up, he glanced at the name on the screen and answered the phone, "Hello?"
"Mr. Lu, there is no signal on the mountain. I am sorry to contact you now."
The person who called him was Benjamin's bodyguard. Although Elizabeth refused to be protected by bodyguards, he still asked a bodyguard to follow her secretly and protect her. However, she didn't know about this.
Hearing this, James felt relieved. He nodded slightly and said, "It's good that you two have gone down the mountain."
"No, I went down the mountain. Mrs. Lu is still on the mountain."
James got unhappy immediately. Although that was Benjamin's bodyguard, he growled, "Then why did you come down?"
James sent him to protect Elizabeth's safety, but he went down the mountain on his own. How could he not be angry?
