Just when I was down looking around the conference room, Conner returned. "President Zeke is requesting you."
I nodded at him and then followed him to a bigger conference room.
This was where they had serious discussions about business.
I looked around the place but did not see Gareth before turning my attention to Conner with an expression of suspicion. He immediately understood and explained, "President Zeke will be done in a few minutes. He'll be over then."
"Alright. I'll wait here. You can go back to your work, Mr. Kane."
"Alright."
I only started taking in the big conference room after he left. In the end, one would still be treated based on who they were. John himself had been down and out before, but he was now not the same as before. He could not help but look down on people now.
I had doubts about the person my mother had set her eyes on.
Conner had not been lying either. A few minutes later, someone opened the door to the conference room. I turned around and saw a middle-aged man dressed in a black suit walk in. His upright back made him look energetic, and one could tell his figure under the suit. Despite being middle-aged, he still maintained a youthful demeanor. The wrinkles on his handsome face did not affect his elegant appearance at all.
He looked toward me, and my heart thumped. I could also tell that there were some traces of surprise in his eyes. Perhaps it was because I shared a resemblance to my mother.
I got up and was just about to offer my greetings when I caught an unexpected glimpse of the person behind him.
Theo?
What was he doing here?
I was stunned and could not help the furrow of my brows.
Noticing me glancing behind him, Gareth said, “I was just having a meeting with President Grant when you arrived, President Lane. Why don’t we have a joint discussion to save time?”
