An Extra’s POV

"Sir! It's such a pleasant surprise to see you!"

Rey was almost instantly greeted by a very excited Aldred Winsley.

The man was grinning sheepishly at him, almost the way a fan would react when meeting their favorite celebrity for the first time.

'He's literally gushing…' Was Rey's impression as he nodded slightly, entering the room.

"I was just asking your subordinate here when next we can see you."

Rey glanced at Noah and noticed him giving an uncomfortable smile.

'Were they pressuring him to convince me to come? Is that why he took so long?'

It was just a guess, so Rey dismissed it.

"In any case, it really is good to have you here. We have a lot to discuss."

Rey sat on the sofa, and Noah went and stood behind him almost instantly.

'Good. He knows how to keep appearances without me needing to tell him…' Rey's thoughts trailed on relief.

Noah seemed to be able to handle himself in business now, but sometimes he was still an indecisive klutz.

Like just now, when he allowed his time to be delayed because of Aldred Winsley.

His discomfort was hidden behind a smile, but Rey just ignored it. These sorts of things were best experienced for one to learn from it.

'But this is going better than I thought. It seems like they haven't caught wind of the incoming saturation.'

Rey was relieved, to say the least.

This meant he had a shot here—to sell and be done away with what would soon become useless rocks given enough time.

"Before we get straight into business, I believe there is someone you should meet."

After Aldred said this with a smile, he raised his hand and spoke to a bracelet on his wrist.

"Bring him in." His voice echoed.

'Who? I wonder what this is all about.'
