"Never heard before. New money?" There was contempt in James Crawford's tone to provoke Nikun.
Initially, James had no plan to know about Aarvi through Nikun. When James went through the profile of Aarvi, he got to know she was the wife of Aaron Rivas. James recalled Aaron was Nikun's friend as he occasionally saw them together in the past years. If he wanted, he could have called Nikun and spoken but he hadn't.
Since Nikun appeared in front of him, James thought to make use of the situation and agreed to eat with him. It wasn't because Nikun was his ex-apprentice.
Nikun never lets anybody look down on his friends so he instantly countered, "Skylar is a domestic brand. It is planning to enter the global market soon." Even though he was displeased, he was polite as Skylar really wasn't known globally.
