Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 994

Tons of people would envy Zephyr if he became Irvin's mentor. He would be mentoring the one and only Alexander Griffith's son!

Thus, he wasn't necessarily in a losing situation.

Most importantly, this news would not be painted in a bad light either. He didn't beg, trick, or kidnap Irvin into becoming his mentee. He convinced Irvin with his capabilities!

What was that? Did someone call it a barter trade?

Zephyr objected to that. When had such an unequal trade ever existed, save in times of war?

Even Aladdin could only grant three wishes, yet he could grant thirty! Wouldn't that make him even better than a genie?

He was surely a lot more reliable than all the genies out there.

Clearly, he was a legendary figure with both good looks and remarkable talent.

Yes. That's right. That's exactly how it is.

After coming up with a solid reasoning that was convincing enough for himself, Zephyr glanced at Irvin, who was buried in his experiment, before walking out feeling satisfied with himself.

Meanwhile, at a certain fine-dining restaurant that mostly catered to romantic couples.

Maverick and Ariel were having a candlelight dinner. All throughout dinner, Maverick was the perfect gentleman who was patient in every way possible.

This left Ariel feeling a little confused.

It would not escape the attention of someone as intelligent as Maverick that she only accepted his gesture to anger Danny.

However, he didn't seem to mind it at all. In fact, he was happy to go along with it. One could not help but feel suspicious about this.

"I can't help but wonder just how much Rylantha is giving you for you to do whatever it takes to butter me up, even though it'll never amount to anything," Ariel probed without mincing her words.

"Business and profits aren't the only things we have between us." Maverick smiled and turned to flag down the server. "You can serve the wine now."

Ariel could tell she wouldn't be able to get a straight answer out of him.
