“Kayson works for Wolfenden Corp.!” Lindsy answered on behalf of Kayson from the side. “Wolfenden Corp.?” Jason was slightly astonished by the coincidence because he was acquainted with a shareholder of Wolfenden Corp.
Kayson nodded but did not pay much attention to it. It was because he did not hold an influential position in Wolfenden Corp., so there was nothing worthy of his mention. Yvette’s gentle eyes lit up. “Wolfenden Corp., huh? Jason, didn’t someone from Wolfenden Corp.come and see you two days ago?” Jason understood his wife’s intention. She wanted him to use this opportunity to build a connection with Kayson. “That’s right. A senior management executive from Wolfenden Corp.came to see me two days ago, Dr. Yarde. “You know him for sure. His name is Trevor Lawson, and he’s a major shareholder of your company.” Kayson was stunned ever so slightly. ‘Trevor Lawson? It seems that Trevor is Miles’ father, right?’
Kayson said nonchalantly, “That sounds like the father of our CFO, right? I’m not very familiar with him. I’m just a small staff member of the company, after all. How could I be acquainted with those top senior management bigshots like them?”
Jason chuckled and said, “It’s fine if you’re not close with him. I shall be the host tomorrow and ask both of you out for lunch so you can get acquainted with each other.” Kayson could not help laughing upon hearing that. “Forget it. I can’t get along with them anyway.”
Jason was a wise man and the director of a large enterprise. Thus, he understood the competitiveness amongst the members of a company.
However, good competition was actually beneficial for a company’s development, and that was why he did not find Kayson’s remark unusual.
“Forget about it then.” Jason checked the time and said, “I can see that it’s getting late, and it will take some time for my people to send over the item, Dr. Yarde. “Why don’t we grab dinner first? Don’t reject my invitation because you’re going to be my savior if you can cure my wife’s condition!”
Zachary chuckled and said, “You’re too courteous, Mr. Queen. Naturally, Kayson won’t reject your invitation. I’m hungry too, so I shall tag along for a free meal too.”
Jason said in all apparent seriousness, “Why do you say that, Mr. Ewell! Are you mocking me?”
Kayson did not utter a word. Since Zachary had accepted the invitation, he would go as well.
“I shall get the car!” Lindsy’s delight was reflected in her expression. Her huge eyes were
glistening in joy on her blushing face.
It did not take long before Kayson and the others arrived at the Shengville Hotel.
It felt as if the hotel was the top choice of both the locals of Clouspring and visitors from other places as long as they had the adequate economic capability.
Jason had called up the hotel conveniently and booked a room when he called his staff to pick up the item from his home earlier.
After entering the private room, Jason chuckled and said, “Dr. Yarde, Mr. Ewell, and Lindsy, you may order anything on the menu as you like.”
“I shall obey then, Mr. Queen,” said Lindsy while giggling.
Soon afterward, Lindsy flipped open the menu and pushed it to Kayson while she said softly,” See what you’d like to have, Kayson.”
Kayson flipped through the menu and ordered two courses.
Both of them were sitting closely, and Zachary was delighted by the sight of them.
Yvette assumed a reminiscing expression on her face as she looked at Lindsy and Kayson. “Jason, look at Kayson and Lindsy. They look like a well-matched couple.” Jason had a close relationship with his wife and understood that his wife was reminiscing about their younger days. He smiled and said, “You’re right. They do look well-matched, the man is handsome and the woman is beautiful. They’re a match made in heaven.”
Lindsy’s face blushed scarlet, and she said shyly, “Mr. Queen, don’t tease me!”
“Don’t like it that I’m speaking the truth, huh?” Jason was amused as well. He remembered that his wife and he were just the same when they were young.
Meanwhile, someone knocked on the door.
Jason said, “Please come in!”
The door was opened, and a well-mannered middle-aged man walked into the room.
“Mr. Queen,” said the middle-aged man smilingly.
“Mr. Walker! It’s been a long time since we’ve last met!” Jason stood up as well.
The person was Jonathan Walker, the Shengville Hotel’s general manager.
Jason had previously attended an auction in Clouspring and stayed at the Shengville Hotel. In addition, he was the director of Triumph Land Corp., and its reputation was widely-known.
Jonathan had exchanged business cards with Jason, so they were acquainted with each other.
“It’s a rare opportunity that you’re visiting us, Mr. Queen. As such, the meal is on the house tonight. Please don’t decline my offer, Mr. Queen!” said Jonathan solemnly.
Jason smiled. “Sure, I shall comply with your wish.”
Jonathan was beaming widely before he looked toward the other people at the table soon afterward. He called out respectfully when he noticed Zachary. “Dr. Ewell, you’re here too!”
“I tagged along for a free meal,” said Zachary jokingly.
“Hey you, you can come and eat here on a daily basis from now on. It’s on the house!”
Jonathan looked toward Lindsy and Kayson.
His expression changed when he saw Kayson.
