In the private room of the Tea House, soothing music flowed through the space like a trickling stream washing over the ears.
"Why hasn't he arrived yet?" Christopher Evans grew increasingly impatient as he waited.
Since several days ago, Scarlett Jackson had been arranging a meeting between him and Zachary Jenkins. From domestic places to abroad, then back to local places, every scheduled meeting had been disrupted by unforeseen circumstances.
Christopher Evans casted a suspicious glance at Scarlett, it could be coincidental for this to happen once or twice. However, the chances of it happening multiple times seemed strangely excessive.
Could Scarlett Jackson be playing him?
Seeing the impatience rising in Christopher Evans, Scarlett was both nervous and upset.
Every meeting ended in a mishap, this was also not something within her control...
"Mr. Evans, Mr. Jenkins assured that he will arrive. Maybe he was held up on his way here," she said.
