Noticing how Jennifer had put on makeup, Linda and Kevin reckoned the former had thought things through and agreed to dine with Peterson.
Lowering her head, Jennifer furrowed her brows while staring at the man's right hand, which was stretched out. However, she did not reach for it. “Hi. I'm sorry, but I don't have the habit of shaking hands with others.”
Peterson froze for a few seconds, but he was not mad about it. He simply offered a faint smile and retracted his right hand. “Happy birthday. I've reserved thirty tables at Grand Laurel today and put much effort into arranging this. I hope you will accept this invitation.”
After pausing briefly, he went on, “Initially, I plan on organizing it at Sky Garden, but it requires a one-month pre-booking, so it's too late. Moreover, it seems like Sky Garden is having a renovation today, so I've selected Grand Laurel.”
Before Jennifer could utter a word, someone knocked on the door.
Jennifer's heart skipped a beat. Is it Donald?
Hurriedly, she went to open the door and found herself greeted by the sight of a middle-aged couple at the door, sizing her up.
Jennifer was stunned. “Who are you?”
Peterson chuckled. “They're my parents, and they're currently operating a tea house at Terrandya Provincial Center.”
Exuding an imposing aura, the middle-aged couple entered while scanning the surroundings.
Leonard and Linda immediately stood up. “Welcome.”
With a deep voice, Brandon carried himself in the same way a person of high stature would.
Even Joshua dared not provoke someone like him, as only a person with a strong background such as Neil would not need a broker like Brandon.
Brandon had secretly accumulated an astounding connection of networks and owned an immense influence across the entire Terrandya. Furthermore, Brandon could easily dismiss some influential figures by lifting a finger.
That was how powerful brokers were.
“Let's go. We'll talk about it while we have our meal.” Brandon's tone left no room for doubt.
Linda and Leonard immediately nodded. “Sure, off we go to Grand Laurel!”
However, Jennifer answered, “No. I have a date with Donald today.”
