What the hell happened?
Were they hiding from me?
Why were they avoiding me?
Theo looked at my pale face. He sat beside me and wrapped his arm over my shoulder. "Where are they?”
I moved my lips. "France."
Theo suddenly laughed. "Mason is going to France for a business trip tomorrow. I can ask him to take a look at what's going on with them.”
"Really?" My eyes brightened up.
Theo nodded his head. "He followed me back too. We'll be having dinner together tonight. I'm bringing you along. You can tell him about it then."
Moonlight Restaurant.
Mason was already sitting inside the private dining room when Theo and I entered.
We had just sat down when two other people came in. One of them was the owner of Newlight Media, George Manson. The other was Benny Schumann, whom I just met two days ago.
How did Benny get out of the police station so quickly?
I frowned and moved my gaze away from his face.
"President Grant, Mrs. Grant, it's been a long time," George greeted Theo and me enthusiastically.
I shook hands with him. I smiled and said, "President Manson, it’s been a long time."
I had crossed paths with him before. He was a nice guy, so I was willing to smile at him. As for Benny, forget about it. He did not deserve that.
Benny knew full well I did not intend to talk to him. However, he was insensitive and walked toward me, reaching out his hand. "Mrs. Grant, it looks like it’s our destiny to be able to see each other again so soon after."
