Seeing this scene, everyone present gasped in amazement.
Nobody would have expected that Mr. Lyle's presence tonight wasn't for the sake of the Nelson family head, but instead…
"Amaya!" Mr. Lyle reached out both hands, warmly embracing Oliver Nelson. "No matter how much I invited you, you never showed up, but now you're actually attending such an inconsequential party. I'm quite jealous."
Oliver patted Mr. Lyle's shoulder lightly, his tone teasing: "There's nothing for Mr. Lyle to be jealous of."
Mr. Lyle laughed: "Come on, do you know how many people I sent out today just to catch you here?"
Oliver hooked up the corner of his lip: "Doing this is hardly different from issuing a warrant on me."
Mr. Lyle rested his hand on Oliver's arm: "Knowing you were back but not being able to see you, I was just short of issuing a city-wide search for you."
The two chatted and laughed together.
Their relationship appeared as close as old friends who had known each other for many years.
