Riches in Disguise

Chapter 31

As I ate a prawn which Lucy had peeled personally, I mocked, "Young lady, you're two-faced, aren't you?"

It hadn't been long since Lucy composed herself. Once again, her face reddened. "Mr. William, stop pulling my leg. I will definitely make it up to you after this meal."

I clicked my tongue. She was honest indeed.

If only she was as honest as this in the elevator.

By the time I was full, the elders around the table were already looking drained.

They were individuals who were experienced in the business world. Spending time with clients was a piece of cake for them, but having a meal with a young man indeed rendered them a little helpless.

Out of good intentions, I stood up. "Alright, that's all for tonight. I'm full from dinner, and I really enjoyed the meal. It's time for me to head back to school. I've got a curfew."

The group of elders got to their feet immediately, as if they were relieved that they were being spared.

"Alright, alright. Let's not make Mr. William stay up too late. He's the future of our country, so he needs to rest early and focus on his studies."

They sent me off downstairs, and I waved goodbye to them.
