The First Heir by Master Yu Who Smokes

Chapter 103

The air in the bar right now was eerily cold and heavy. All of a sudden! One of Nino’s lackeys ran over to his boss and whispered into Nino’s ear,

“Master Nino, Mr. Thomas’ secretary, Mr. Thane is here. He says he needs to meet you urgently.” “Mr. Thane?” Nino immediately leaped to his feet, beside himself with excitement. “What are you waiting for? Let’s go greet Mr. Thane!” His lackeys opened a path in front of him. Nino was clearly exhilarated. After all, that was the Mr. Julian Thane, chief secretary to the richest man in the city, George Thomas. It was quite the honor to have him here on Nino’s turf! There was a saying in Riverdale.
