Zachary Shane had booked a large private room for ten people, and they all settled in with cheerful greetings.
The three big shots sat together; Zachary next to George Gardner and to the left of Amelia, followed by Olivia Mitchell, Oliver Mitchell, then a gap of four seats before Daniel Brown and the Assistant Director.
After sitting down, Olivia glanced at the astonishingly expensive menu, her eyes nearly popping out.
Please forgive her limited imagination due to poverty; this wasn't just a meal, it was clearly eating money.
George Gardner sat opposite Amelia, picked up the fragrant jasmine pearl tea, took a sip, and smiled, "Amelia."
Amelia felt a little uncomfortable being called so intimately by him. She remembered that during their few previous encounters, he had always referred to her as "Dr. Foster." Why had he suddenly changed his name for her today?
Although puzzled, she still nodded with a smile, "Mr. Gardner."
