Chapter 154 Dinner

Claire raised her brows at Alex question. "What do you mean by already?"

Alex coughed nervously and rubbed the back of his neck. "I mean I thought you want to talk more about your ideas regarding, the hotel." "That's all for now. I will contact you about the robot development."

"I'm here for business," Claire explained. "I have a project with Harris."
