Chapter 4

Simon scanned the crowd more intently. He had worked for Leonardo for years and recognized most of the people he knew, but he saw no familiar faces.

"Are you sure?" he asked. "Why don't I see anyone I know?"

"Let's go," Leonardo ordered.

"What?"

Simon remained puzzled about whom Leonardo had actually seen. However, as soon as Leonardo started walking away, he promptly followed him.

As Leonardo was about to leave, Matthew attempted to push past the bodyguards to give him his business card. "Mr. Garrett, my company runs a luggage and bags business with our own designers. Are you available to have a drink or meal with me to discuss a potential collaboration?"

Leonardo brushed past him without so much as a glance. Matthew wanted to follow, but Simon stopped him. "Just hand me the business card. I'll reach out to you on Mr. Garrett's behalf if needed."

"Thank you! Thank you so much!" Matthew exclaimed.

Simon accepted the business card and exchanged a glance with the bodyguard beside him, who promptly pulled Matthew away. As they left the club, Simon tossed the business card into a trash can in front of everyone.

Matthew forced a strained smile, but his expression couldn't hide his dissatisfaction.

The following evening at 7 o'clock, Samantha enjoyed dinner at home before heading to work early. Upon arriving in the locker room, she overheard a few colleagues deep in conversation.
