Alicia bumped into Louis Aldridge in the Dreamscape District, and at the time, Louis was having dinner with a company’s head. This company was one of Whitmore Co’s strongest competitors. They had a huge rivalry over resources a few years back.

Wasn’t Louis Neil’s friend? Why was he dining with Whitmore Co’s competitor?

It was indeed weird, but since Mitch knew about it, he’d definitely tell Neil.
