Seeing his appearance, a man who looked like a manager stood up with the woman beside him, "Mr. Walyon, this is Lorraine Hughes. The movie we’re discussing today stars Lauren. We hope you will support it!"
The way they hoped for Adrian Walyon’s support was simply by having him invest.
"Hmm." Adrian Walyon absentmindedly played with the pen in his hand, responding indifferently, not even bothering to look up.
The manager was slightly embarrassed, but Lorraine Hughes showed little reaction on her face.
She steadily stared at Adrian Walyon, sizing him up.
He was still the same as before, looking down on everyone.
The same as before, wherever he was, he was always a shining presence...
A meeting followed, with a lot of discussions revolving around Lauren’s movie.
The plot, selling points, investments, and so on.
Adrian Walyon quietly listened throughout, his face showing no expression.
When the meeting ended, it was six o’clock.
To win him over, Lorraine Hughes’s manager suggested, "How about we all have dinner together tonight? Lauren will treat everyone."
"Sure! Sure!" The others in the meeting chimed in.
The manager cautiously glanced at Adrian Walyon, "Mr. Walyon, join us!"
"Sorry, as a married man, I have a wife waiting at home!" Adrian Walyon casually tossed back a sentence before bending down to get into his car.
He showed no courtesy, and his car sped away.
After the meeting, Adrian Walyon called Summer Sutton, "Where are you?"
"At a restaurant, having dinner with Baxter," Summer Sutton said.
The atmosphere on Adrian Walyon’s side seemed to suddenly drop.
He skipped a social engagement to be with her, and she hadn’t thought of him?
Summer Sutton sensed something was off but didn’t understand what the problem was. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novelFɪre.net
After being dazed for a while, she tentatively asked, "Have you eaten? If not, would you like to come over and join us?"
She just asked casually, but Adrian Walyon tossed back, "Where is it?"
Summer Sutton was dumbfounded for a while, then reported the restaurant address blankly.
Less than twenty minutes later, Adrian Walyon’s car stopped outside the restaurant.
A Japanese restaurant.
Inside, Summer Sutton and Zoe Baxter sat around a table, having ordered a pot of sake and some snacks.
Once he sat down, Summer Sutton ordered a few dishes for him and poured him a cup of warm sake, "Why didn’t you have dinner with friends?"
Adrian Walyon glanced up at her briefly, without answering her question.
Summer Sutton didn’t understand what was wrong with her question.
Zoe Baxter, being insightful, explained, "Young Master Walyon wanted to come back and have dinner with you."
Summer Sutton was dumbfounded once again.
Zoe Baxter felt particularly unnecessary there.
Adrian Walyon had turned down an appointment specifically to be with Summer Sutton!
"I just remembered, I have something to do at home, so I’ll be leaving first. Enjoy your meal!" Zoe Baxter found an excuse and left in less than five minutes.
The dining table was left with just Summer Sutton and Adrian Walyon.
Adrian Walyon continued eating with his head slightly lowered, while Summer Sutton lightly sipped two cups of sake, her cheeks slightly flushed when they walked out of the restaurant.
As they walked together toward the parking lot, Adrian Walyon suddenly mentioned, "At tonight’s engagement, there were women present."
Summer Sutton paused, seemingly understanding why he hadn’t dined out.
After staring at him steadily for a while, Summer Sutton wasn’t sure what she was thinking at that moment and rose on tiptoe, her lips gently meeting his...
