Luna hesitated for a long time, but with the three children's encouragement, she finally decided to go ahead.
By the time she reached a decision, it was almost noon, and Thomas Howard had intended to meet her at 1 p.m.
With Nellie's help, Luna brainstormed the prototype for her jewelry design and developed a simple draft for Thomas Howard.
By the time they finished this, there were only 20 minutes left till the meeting time.
Nellie was worried that Luna would not be able to tap into her full creative potential due to her worries, so she volunteered to go with Luna to meet Thomas Howard in hopes that she could help alleviate her nerves.
"Aren’t we going to send some guards to keep an eye on Mommy and Nellie?" As soon as Luna and Nellie left, Neil furrowed his brows and glanced at Nigel, who remained motionless on the sofa. "Are you sure it’s going to be safe for them?"
"Why wouldn’t it be? ” Nigel replied impassively as he stared at the surveillance tape on the laptop screen. ” You know fully well how big of a star Thomas Howard is. He has reporters following his every move—even to the toilet.
"Haven’t you seen how crazy the traffic became as soon as he arrived in Merchant City this morning? He’ll be surrounded by reporters and fans no matter where he goes. Even if he and Mommy conduct their business meeting in a private booth and no one can hear them, there will still be plenty of people with their eyes on him.
"If you were Thomas Howard, would you dare to harm Luna and Nellie in this case?"
Neil nodded in agreement upon hearing this, then propped his chin up in his hand and added, "You're right. Not only that, but the restaurant that Uncle Joey proposed for their meeting is a fine dining place, and it'd be harder for them to hurt Mommy and Nellie even if they wanted to."
Nigel nodded. "That's right. To be frank, celebrities like him don't get much privacy at all."
