"So, it's Mr. Nichols. Of course, I welcome him anytime."
Not long after, Zedd arrived. He brought Cindy along as well.
Zedd and Jordan exchanged a few formalities. He then sat down with Cindy.
Those who should and should not be here had all come. Nevertheless, the people from the third party had yet to arrive.
Theo had no intentions to wait for them as well. He called a waiter over and prepared to order some dishes.
As soon as the waiter left after Theo finished ordering the dishes, a man in a business suit appeared at the entrance of the room.
There was an apologetic smile on his face." I'm sorry for making all of you wait such a long time."
After speaking, he gestured for the person next to him to enter the room.
Immediately after, a man that I was extremely familiar with walked out.
The man was dressed in a royal blue custom-made business suit. His hair was styled in a neat and tidy manner.
He was not sorry for being late. He simply said, "You guys must have waited for some time.”
Jordan got up to greet him. He smiled as he shook his hand and said, "Thank you for traveling all the way here from Whaldorf City. It must've been tough on you. We’ve ordered the dishes. They'll be served soon. You should take a seat first."
I looked at Matthew, who was seated opposite me. I felt rather stunned.
How could he appear as the person in charge of the third party involved in this project?
I glanced at Theo. He was sipping at his tea calmly. I asked softly, "Why aren’t you surprised at all?"
Theo smiled without answering my question. He looked at Keith and said, "Give it to me."
"Alright."
Keith handed Theo a gift bag.
Theo opened the gift bag and took out a box of desserts. He then smiled as he asked me, "Do you want to have some first?"
I shook my head and said, "No...' Before I could finish speaking, Theo had already opened the box of desserts.
I was truly speechless.
