Charlie looked at Jasmine before he smiled and said," I came here with my father-in-law to attend his class reunion with his old classmates. I didn't tell you about it because I did not want to trouble you.”
Jasmine hurriedly said, "Mr. Wade, you should tell me i n advance that your father-in-law will be having a class reunion here! I would have made the necessary preparations to entertain him and his friends!"
Charlie smiled as he said, "There is no need for you to make any special preparations for him. After all, it is just a group of old men who are just out to catch up and have some fun. I am afraid that they will not be able to adapt to it if everything is too grand.”
As he spoke, Charlie said again, "Furthermore, I have never told my father-in-law that I have a good relationship with you. I am afraid that he will be very confused if the young lady from the Moore family comes out to entertain him personally." 1
Jasmine nodded slightly before she said, "By the way, Mr. Wade, my grandfather will be holding his eightieth birthday banquet at noon tomorrow. I was originally intending to send you the invitation card tonight to ask you if you have the time to come for his birthday banquet tomorrow. My grandfather has been talking about you and really wants to see you.” 4
Charlie thought for a moment before he nodded and
said, "I have nothing on tomorrow. I will come to the birthday banquet.” 2
For Charlie, even though the Moore family was not that powerful, they were still the wealthiest and most powerful family in Aurous Hill. Therefore, Charlie felt that he could save himself a lot of trouble if he maintained a good relationship with them. 2
Furthermore, Charlie had a very good impression of Jasmine. He felt that this woman was very smart and promising, and that made him want to appreciate her a little more. 1
When Jasmine saw that Charlie had already agreed to come for her grandfather's birthday banquet, she hurriedly asked, "Mr. Wade, should I come and pick you up in the morning tomorrow?”
Charlie declined immediately as he said, "No, it’s okay. You must be busy since it's Lord Moore's birthday banquet tomorrow. I will just go over to your house by myself."
Jasmine nodded before she smiled sweetly and said," Okay then, Mr. Wade. You can come and look for me when you arrive tomorrow." 2
