"What are you all talking about?" Colby asked as he walked in from outside. He was casually dressed in a white shirt with no tie and carried several elegant little bags.

The three ladies' eyes lit up at the sight of Colby. He wasn't just influential overseas; he was also incredibly handsome-rich, powerful, and charming.
