Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart

Chapter 247

Hamilton glanced at his phone, a slight smirk playing on his lips.

Ronin, standing next to him, couldn't help but chuckle, "Can you believe Mr. Fowler showed up to something like this?"

Hamilton shot him a look. "And miss my girlfriend shining brighter than the Fourth of July? Do you think I'd let that slide, Mr. Joyner?"

Ronin let out a laugh. "Girlfriend? You cooking up stories in your head now?"

Hamilton gave him a look. "It's only a matter of time."

The smile on Ronin's face faded a bit. "You're pretty sure of yourself, Mr. Fowler."

Hamilton's eyes were full of adoration as he watched the woman still on stage. "When it comes to Natalia, I've always played to win. You didn't get the memo, Mr. Joyner?"

A pang of envy hit Ronin. It was clear to see, even though they weren't officially an item yet, Natalia was warming up to him.

He felt a bit sour inside.

But he also knew, whatever it was between him and Natalia, it was a dead-end street.

He couldn't fathom what was going through Mason's head!

As the event wrapped up, Natalia left with Hamilton.

Mason watched their departing figures with a heavy gaze.

Ronin nudged him, "Regretting it now? If you are, I could chase after her. Natalia hasn't said 'yes' to Hamilton yet."

Mason shot him a glare. "The best thing you can do is keep out of it!"

Hamilton and Natalia left the event and went straight to the city planning office.

There was someone already waiting for them.

Upon seeing Hamilton, the person handed over all the bidding documents.

Hamilton nodded. "Thanks for the trouble."
